Guys, I’m picking up my brand new 2020 Z650 today. Has anyone installed a powerlet for charging the phone/gps?

My brother overseas bought a chinese made bike and that thing has USB port!

Thanks in advance.

I added an Eklipse outlet to my Z650 -- one cigarette-lighter-type outlet, plus a USB port. Works well for phone, gps, i-pod, tire inflator, etc., etc.

Thanks for the info. Are there instructions on how to install it step by step and where to hook up to switched power?

I found this at Amazon which I will probably get. I don’t care for cigarette lighter type outlet.

It's simple. The wires attach directly to the battery and it has its own in-line fuse and switch. Just decide where you want the unit, mount it, and then route the wire under the tank and to the battery.

I don’t want to connect it directly to the battery. I want to tap into set of wires that are powered when the engine is running. I’ll use positaps to tap into those wires.

Get a SAE adapter then there's a million USB adaptors for that.
While you're at it, get a lithium battery too.

As I have said, I don’t want to connect it directly to the battery! You are in for a huge headache if you forget to switch it off or pull it out from the SAE connector.

No? I've had a USB on my sae for years and never had issues unless it's just an old battery. Never heard of anyone having issues either. I also have led body kit lights plugged in permanently and never had problems.
