Hi, yes, it's the one

Hi, I think it's still all the same on the (2022) Ninja 1000 SX. They did change a torque setting/screw from the previous generation, but didn't make much change until now, I think. I read they will soon upgrade the engine. They might do a few changes at that point. The settings (values) are from some research and I don't quiet remember if it was front or back, I also got them validated from a dealer

Thanks for getting back to me 👍

Glad I could help

Hi, thank you :) I tried looking up the link for the one I have, but I am not sure if they have it any more. There is a comment under this video saying for the 2023 model it looks a little different. This may actually be true. I think you have to do some googling to find a matching one for you.

I would be surprised if there is a change to the 2020 model 🤔 The previous generation is different (2019 and before)!

Thank you for your comment and suggestion. Next video I have planed for is a radiator guard install, but will keep your suggestions in mind for a future video.

I think the connector for the heated grips might look a little different. Trying to follow the steps and you should be all set: In the video there is just the one connector left, as the heated grips are already installed. This might lead to some confusion. The connector is located on the left side downwards - please check minute 6:44. It is in the extension of the arm - reaching for the connector. That's also the position of the camera, facing towards the front tire: minute 6:55. The "cap" the connector is plugged into is wrapped with isolation tape around other wiring. Minute 13:40 shows the side-view with the other side plugged in and the connector (original "cap" left in place) bend upwards a little. Minute 13:46 is facing downwards again ("inside"-view) with the new wiring from the USB-outlet.

@@masterflashy Thanks, I have found the accessory connector now with the help from this video. Problem was I watched another video where they picked the grip-heater connector instead. They are exactly the same type, both plugged with dummy male connectors to have a watertight seal when they are not used. The thing is that they have reversed polarity so if you buy (like me) the factory power outlet and plug it into the wrong connector, you will have reversed polarity in the outlet. This may, or may not, destroy the accessory connected to it. Some cheapish USB chargers for example does not have reverse polarity protection. Another difference is that the accessory plug has a 3A fuse while the grip-heater plug has a 15A fuse.

Happy you found the right connector. Thank you very much for your input! Very useful information

Hi there. Thank you :) There should be one connector left. It's plugged into some dummy-connector with tape around it. Here is a previous answer to some comment trying to shed some more light on finding it: In the video there is just the one connector left, as the heated grips are already installed. [...] The connector is located on the left side downwards - please check minute 6:44. It is in the extension of the arm - reaching for the connector.

Minute 13:46 is facing downwards again ("inside"-view) with the new wiring from the USB-outlet. Hope this helps already...

@@masterflashy Thanks for getting back to me. I couldn't find the other one, so ended up extending the lead and used the free one under the rider's seat!

Yes, it has the male pins as seen in minute 00:08 and minute 06:37 (the seal should be crimped on as well, unlike in my example).

The wire from the bike should have 12V at the connector. I am not sure about a 5V one. Sorry for the bad light in the video...

@@masterflashy on my ninja 1000SX of 2022 there are two cables in the front one is 12 v. for the knobs but the one dedicated to the usb socket is 5 volts. instead under the saddle there is another 12 v. cable.

Hm... I think to remember, there was supposed to be some type of service connector. But I am not a 100% certain. But the one for the front-outlet should be 12V, as from factory they are offering a 12V outlet in the front: www.kawasaki.eu/en/accessories/motorcycles/Ninja_1000_SX/2022?UidCat=0031WQ&UidSubCat=0378WlhZXFhaWllYWFlYWVhcW1pZ&CodeBaseInternal=0175MjBZWFha&Uid_Model=0897UFpdXFBbXw1bDFpZXA4MDVEMDFBZCg5dXFlQWF0JClw&Uid=0843DV9cXVtQUQlfXQpQXApQXApbWloOWFtRXlBaCVANWg4 And the one under the seat is for the rear (USB-Outlet) which should also have 12V as you mentioned. The USB-Outlet Parts have an integrated convertor: www.kawasaki.eu/en/accessories/motorcycles/Ninja_1000_SX/2022?UidCat=0031WQ&UidSubCat=0378WlhZXFhaWllYWFlYWVhcW1pZ&CodeBaseInternal=0175MjBZWFha&Uid_Model=0897UFpdXFBbXw1bDFpZXA4MDVEMDFBZCg5dXFlQWF0JClw&Uid=0902XgxfDF1eWV5RDl5cXA0MCwlcW14MUAlfUAtRXQoKWgk I still plan on doing it the other way around. For now I only have the USB Outlet in the front. I might add the 12V rear outlet in a few month.... PS: And another connector in the front is for the heated grips (either already connected with the Touring Version or still there, if not fitted with heated grips) but you mentioned that already..

Here a picture from the voltage reading: i.postimg.cc/qMWwhrpj/12V.jpg Btw. the ignition needs to be "ON" - there should be no power, if the key is out/"off"

Glad it was helpful!

Will try to improve

Thank you for your comment. Much appreciated. I am planning on doing another one or two projects/videos on the bike where such suggestions will definitely help me improve on the videos. With enough suggestions on how to improve on this one I might even try to redo this so it's more pleasant to watch and understand the steps necessary.

Thank you :) I just updated the eBay-link, it's now leading to the one I used, again. Maybe the picture from eBay will help you already? Otherwise this site seems to have it for the US www.cycleterminal.com/hm-sealed-series-090.html I don't know that site other than finding it on Google. So maybe drop them an eMail before ordering to make sure they are legit? Please check under: "2 pin HM 090 Male and Female locking connector" on that site I hope this helps, otherwise let me know and I try to get some other photos.

@@masterflashyyou’re amazing!! I owe ya coffee. 👍

@@mag28 Glad I could help ;) Good luck!

Thanks, really helpful! Especially to find the connector 😊

Thank you. I didn't know it yet, will check it out ;)

Hallo Vielen Dank :) Ich muss sagen, mich hatte das Bike von Anfang an, seitdem ich es in Fahrberichten gesehen hatte, begeistert und daran hat sich bis heute nichts geändert. Es gibt aber tatsächlich diesen einen Punkt, bei welchem an dem Bike leider der falsche Abstrich gemacht wurde; und das ist der Platz unter dem Sozius-Sitz. Hier befindet sich, wie richtig erkannt, das Boardwerkzeug in einer relativ kleinen Mulde. Ich hatte mir aufgrund des Inhalts damals folgendes Set bestellt: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07G4BTX5Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - dieses ist jedoch zu groß für den Platz unter dem Sitz. Da ich aus Bequemlichkeit sowieso mit Koffern fahre (ein Helm passt rein), landet dieses in einem der Koffer(Taschen). Ich bin aber am überlegen mir eines dieser dreieckigen Verbandtschen zu organisiergen, bzw. vielleicht passt auch diese hier (hauptsache keine starre Tasche) www.polo-motorrad.com/de-de/qbag-erste-hilfe-verbandtasche-din-13167-2014-60470101482.html Ansonsten wäre auch das Navi-Case groß genug, um hinter einem Smartphone ein paar Verbandsachen zu verstauen (z.B. in kleinen Plastiktüten, was nicht unter die Rückbank passt, man aber dabei haben möchte). Ride safe!

@@masterflashy wow Danke für die tolle und ausführliche Antwort 😊🤙🏽 Werd sie mir kaufen, ist ein Traumbike und wegen dem Erstehileset wird es eine Lösung geben 😊! Ich finde sie bringt alles mit was ich mir von einem Motorrad wünsche: Mörderische Optik( finde da kann keine Reiseenduro mithalten), Sportlichkeit, Komfort und einen unschlagbaren Preis! Also nochmal Danke für die tolle Antwort und die Links, werd zu dem von Polo greifen!😁 Wünsch dir allzeit gute Fahrt und noch viel Spaß und schöne Kilometer mit deiner Ninja!!!😉 🏍✊🏻💨

Sehe ich genauso. Genug Leistung für die Sportlichkeit, ohne an Bequemlichkeit einzubüßen und das bei einem tollen Erscheinungsbild zu einem guten Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis :) Hier nochmal ein paar Bilder. Selbst mit dem Werkzeugset daneben gelegt, baut das Erstehilfe-Set zu sehr auf: postimg.cc/gallery/rkxhVsp - ein zumindest flacheres Set sollte aber irgendwie unterzubringen sein :) Danke - wünsche ich dir auch, sobald du dein neues Traumbike hast :)

@@masterflashy Motorrad ist bestellt in grün/ schwarz mit Performance Paket ! Hoffe das ich sie im Juli bekomme, bin jetzt schon sowas von aufgeregt 🤣 Denke war eine gute Entscheidung 😊 Lg aus Österreich 🤙🏽

@@derwolf6364 Gute Wahl :) Das Grün von meiner im Sonnenlicht ist einfach nur wow! Bilder werden der da überhaupt nicht gerecht. Ich vermute, das ist bei deiner genauso? Ich muss mir unbedingt noch das neue Modell (Design) vom nahen ansehen :D Das grün/schwarz Design ist Kawasaki auf jeden Fall gelungen! Dass deine Wartezeit nicht allzu lang sein wird und stets eine Gute Fahrt! Grüße aus dem Nachbarland 🤙🏽

Thank you for your comment. The one in the video has following dimensions: 6.86 x 6.35 x 1.78 cm (taken from the Amazon product description) and I'd say there is still plenty of room available => should not be a problem to fit almost any USB port as long as the diameter is about right. I tried taking a picture, but it's not a good reach and bad light behind the fairing. By the way, you could also get a Voltage reading from the on-board system (sub-menu in the setting of the bike). I am sure you will also be very happy with this model, once you have it - I just love this bike and think it's the perfect sporty touring bike (at least for me).

Hi - I can try to get a better picture sometime next week. In the video there is just the one connector left, as the heated grips are already installed. This might lead to some confusion.

Where exactly did you pull power from? I’ve a 2021 model and tried using the wire attached to the fairing with no success…thanks!

@@2ALBSURE I assume it's exactly the same as on the 2020 model. I couldn't get a better picture yet. I still have it on my mind and will try to get one again, soon. I tried answering "Yohanan Medina 1 month ago" with more details to what is shown. In my case it is only one left, as the other one is already connected to the heated grips. It should be one of them. There will only be power, when the ignition is turned on.

Yes, it is. The one on the kickstand side in the rear corner.

@@masterflashy Ok, thanks!

It's the one linked in the description: from Amazon. Basically most 12V to USB Sockets should work. I am quiet happy with my choice thus far - working great keeping my phone charged / charging it up while using it for navigation. Also once charged up a power-bank at the same time. No complaints yet.

@@masterflashy thank you!

The USB-cover? I guess it comes down to personal preferences. My thoughts on it were: less flapping, no "weight" on the USB-cable that's getting plugged in and easier handling. Just open the cover, plug in the USB-cable and being able to see what's going on... - Didn't notice any flapping while cover was open and it does stay closed when it's supposed to with what seems like a tight seal.

Nothing I am a 100% certain about. I will stay on it and comment on this to update you

Just updated - the one I used is available again

Danke und viel Spaß beim Fliegen :)
