General Discussion / Under the drivers seat
April 26, 2022, 01:03:07 PM
Hi.
Just been looking around our 2013 cfmoto z800.
Under the drivers seat there is a lid with 2 Philips screws, im assuming it's where the battery used to live.
I found a small rectangular device that has a wire going to a long thin thing that's stuck to the heel board and 3 wires, yellow (no idea) black (earth) and red (power) although the red is not connected to the battery.
I'm thinking it's maybe a GPS? Any help would be appreciated.

hi,
does anyone know where i can get a bolt on indicator stalk instead of trying to use the crazy rocker switch?

Cheers for the heads up,  managed to find that out eventually with a voltmeter and some luck.

hi, thanks for the info, the glass fuse is going to be replaced with a waterproof spade fuse connector.
im just a bit concerned as to where the thick red positive cable connects

Just spent a week in hospital draining their supplies of blood, got out and found a z800 exhaust on the drive, thankyou to my wife Debbie.
It's a 2013 with 1100 miles on it. I did have a pogo bug racer years ago and this is leagues ahead, proper powerful ktm-ish engine.
Did 50 miles yesterday in and out of the countryside down leafy dusty lanes.
I got within a mile of home and it just cut out, luckily the house I broke down outside belonged to a nice guy who towed me home. 
I found the main fuse from the live terminal of the battery had blown. Replaced it and it starts and idles nicely. Only problem I have is 2 red wires that look like they should be connected to something,  charging is ok at 14.47v. I'll attach a few photos incase anyone has come across this before.
Cheers guys.
