I installed one on my bike and the wife's XT 225, its a great mod, I can charge my cell phone, run the GPS, charge the battery with the maintainer, and jump the bikes if one of the batteries goes dead.

Then instead of having to remove covers every time you want to top off the battery, all you have to do is to plug in the maintainer right through the plug.

Hey Deej, do you have the outlet connected directly to the battery?

You would think that as an electrician I would have installed a fuse, but it actually took a bike catching on fire story to remind me, so I went back and installed a 20 amp automotive flat fuse in the red wire that does go directly to the battery.

Does anyone know the current the starter motor drawers when being cranked?
I installed a 60 amp jumper set up.
Is that way over the top?
