Cracking vid Bruce. I'd lived in fear of fitting one of these on my RT but you have led me to a better place. The cable tie trick is magnificent! Good to see The Beast resting quietly.
Haw Bruce great content mate, im recovering from surgery after bike trip through france and spain 2900 miles in 11 days wrecked both my hands/wrists so catching up on all your vlogs keep them coming big man
@@teapotone Bruce nae accidents acute nerve damage three days into the trip on left hand/wrist and joint issues on right wrist. Got few months of pain and hospital visits
Bruce, I remember the story behind “live your life.” Beautiful. I am very much looking forward to the video showing how you hook up accessories to the new device!
Hi Bruce, noticed that you only tightened the battery negative with your finger tips on the driver. I would recommend you get it as tight as you can. You don’t want it coming loose and loose connections get hot and stop working. Other than that looking forward to the next vid. All the best.
They are really good these hexezcan, I added additional driving lamps to my GS also a wire to run a 12v compressor as the accessory socket on the bike doesn’t give sufficient amps I upped one of the outlets from the hex to work the comp just in case. Keep up bread vlogs.
Cool. Nice and simple. A mate just installed one on his GS700 to connect aux lights and Denalli sound bomb. I haven't heard of the Innov K2 camera system before now, so be interested in how it performs. Had plenty of close calls that would have been good to have footage of if it had gone pear shaped.
Yeah that’s basically what got me looking for a bike dashcam system. I bought the INNOVV C5 and loved it, then INNOVV UK saw the vids I did and asked if I’d review the K2 if they gave it to me. Will be fitting it in the next few weeks 👍
Another alternative if you want to power accessories is a Fuzeblock FZ1 (also available from Nippy Normans) . Not as neat as the Hex ezcan but its half the price. Recently fitted one to a 2014 RT
Keep getting asked what it is!? Genuinely didn’t think anyone would watch the vid unless they wanted to install it, so thought they’d already know what it is 😬 Ok here goes, cut and paste from the previous 974 questions about what it is 🤣 The Beamers (and some other bikes) use a can bus wiring loom/system, which can make adding additional electrical accessories a pain as they don’t always play nicely with the native electrics. The Hex EZCan simply plugs into the existing can bus system and you then connect any auxiliary electrical accessories - like spotlights, horns, power outlets, dashcams etc, direct to the EZCan, then utilise the built in app to configure them to your bikes existing switches and buttons. This means you can then turn the new spotlights on via your bikes existing light button/switch, activate the new horn with the bikes horn button etc etc There’s loads of vids on what the EZCan can do, it’s a great bit of kit. I’ll be using it to install the new INNOVV UK K2 camera system soon 👍
I do love a random bike vid, I honestly thought I would be able to figure out what the hell was going on before the end, sort of Sunday morning challenge. Eh no, I had to read the comments only to find out that I was not alone in my curiosity .
Thank you for posting. I purchased the Denali product, which I believe is pretty much the same as the Hex EZcan. You pretty much followed the same procedure as I did. Should say great job, but then I would also be complimenting myself, so how about I say "not a bad job" and leave it at that?
Had one fitted on mine for some time fantastic bit of kit also great for the INNOVV camera. Always makes me smile a quick triple press on my high beam to initiate the strobe effect and when filtering through heavy traffic the road ahead suddenly opens up 🤣😉😉
I don’t own a GS but still very interesting to watch, Bruce. However, I’m sorry to say that I did notice an oversight in your installation process; the first job when doing any work on your bike is......making a cup of tea. Well it is in my garage, anyway 😂 Andy 🏴

I doubt it John as I’d need to replace a lot of the fairings to get her through an mot, not to mention redo the shock and forks. I’d rather just keep her as she was from finishing the trip 👍
An enjoyable vid Mr T. I’ve been wondering how hard it would be to install the Hex EzCan onto the bike as I would like an extra pair of lights - seems very straightforward. Just one question, my 1200GSA is less than a year old, do you think fitting this would invalidate the warranty?
Hey Bruce I see from the commenta that the old Innov camera has gone which explains why it not in the way of the EasyCan. But whats the new camera system you have? Is there a install video? And could you use the EasyCan to power the camera?
Hi Ian, Yep the Innovv C5 has gone and I’ll be installing the new INNOVV K2 soon, and yes I’ll be utilising the EZCan for that. I’m away on tour with ChickenStrips tomorrow so will get it done when I get back 👍
Hi BruceWould you know does the hex can cut the power to an accessory when the bike is fired up. I have the same bike as you but ride with a tomtom 500 rider when I power up all is good it talks to the autocom dongle then when I start the bike power is cut to the tomtom and 2 to 1chance it loses the dongle blue tooth, if this doesn't cut the power it may cure my woes !!.Great video, like the cable tie trick.
Hello bud, The Hex EZCan actually has a stock setting for sat Nav so it’ll provide constant power to the unit whilst the ignition is on, then cut the power once the bike is turned off - so as not to drain your battery 👍
Bruce thanks for the reply, I get what your saying but would it cut momentarily to the sat nav when firing the engine thus making the sat nav go into shut down.
Ha Ha, now that’s a special level of Loyalty right there! Well bud, they say common sense and intelligence come with age and experience, so if you feel the time has come, just chuck your leg over an R1250GS and take it for a spin. Job done 😉👍
When fitting cameras front and rear i simply hooked into the rear of the accessory sockets.One in front and one at rear left of RT.Brown wire is neg and other pos. I then could use the 4 outputs of EZcan for other lights,horn etc.
Not using your system.Secret with the cards is only buy from a legit shop and NEVER from an auction site.I recommend High Endurance (for dash cams) Sandisk 32Gb for £8.69 or 64Gb for £11.69.Picstop or similar site .
The technology is great these days. I installed my Clearwater lights with their version of a CANbus interface which they call a CANOpener. I think the HEX ezCAN is probably a better device but since I’m just doing the lights I wanted plug and play and Clearwater uses a different connector. I like how you hook the ezCAN up to a computer to set it up although I wonder if you can change lighting settings through the Wonder Wheel like you can with the CANOpener?
Bruce, I have a very serious question. I am thinking about purchasing a 2019 R1250GS Adventure. If I remember correctly you had a significant electrical issue with your GS, is that right? Would you recommend the 1250GSA? Have you had any other issues? Thank you, I completely trust your opinion. Your a bit foolish for taking that GXR1000 round the planet but your heart is pure :-)
Ha Ha thanks Rik, When I took the 1250GSA for a test ride it had a catastrophic battery failure, and I’ve never ridden one since as I’ve just not had the chance as yet. However before that happened o was really impressed with it - bit is still go for the GS over the GSA
Great vid Bruce, also worth mentioning a few low costs bits from eBay (earth return waterproof fusebox, relay, BMW switched live loom connector & a few sundries can do the same job for a lot less money (around £35), especially for us not living in the Broke-My-Wallet world. Some of these devices have a permanent small current draw, not sure if this one does or why these people don't produce kit for other brands! On another note, your hands don't look like they've ever done any work, how did you manage that?
They’ve done plenty Ray, don’t worry about that, got the arthritis and scars to prove it bud. Yep you can certainly use all that stuff you’ve mentioned, but this vid is about installing the Hex EZCan, hence why I don’t cover anything else. I used the switched earth method in the installation vid for the INNOVV C5 so feel free to check that out too 👍
Standard GS all day long for me. GSA is about 30kg heavier, more top heavy and has the same engine as the GS - therefore the GSA is slower and not as agile. Standard GS all day long 👍
@@teapotone hmm i might have to have a go on both of them...... i think i prefer the wider bodystyling on the GSA but the extra weight is a valid point..... compared to my Tiger 800 XRT nothing is top heavy :-) and the GSA is only 50kg heavyer but with all the weight down low
I’d love to but unfortunately she’d need an mot to ride on the road in the U.K. again. To pass the mot I’d have to replace the original plastics at the back of the bike as they are held on with bungee nets and cable ties - and I don’t want to change her at all from when she finished the trip.
Wait until you have done the innovv and then let him tidy up. I put a similar system on my bike last week. There are 5 cables, power cable, cable for gps, cable for handlebar control, and the two camera cables. It all fits under the seat but if Andymancam saw the cables he would be a gibbering wreck...

Great video as usual but have you changed the lens you look like you’ve lost weight???? Honest not taking the piss you definitely look you’ve lost weight
I’ve started doing that running bollocks as it was getting way out of control, shifted a wee bit of timber recently so it’s going in the right direction at the mo 👍
What would be more helpful, would be an explanation of what a HEX EZcan is, rather than demonstrating the very challenging proceedure for removing the seat!
Sorry Mark, I’d assumed that if you were searching for ‘Hex EZCan installation’ you might actually know what it was??? Hence why I don’t explain what it is in the vid.

@@teapotone Thanks for explaining in such detail. I'm just your average subscriber so when I get a notification that you've got a a new vid, I take a look. Had never heard of Hex EZcan. Sounds like a clever bit of kit.
When the notification popped up on my phone , the first thought I had was that you were fitting a new exhaust system!!!! It was only when you started waving the package around the penny dropped. I started watching on my phone and I didn’t get any sound until I did a bit of fandangling.

Ha Ha - you’re talking to a man who usually cleans his bike once a year - whether it needs it or not. I’m just trying to play to the crowd and get it in before people start commenting on how dirty the bike is!! 🤣😂👍
HEX EZcan is a disappointing product. Doesn't control blinkers or brake light, the software is unintuitive, limited, and looks like a teenager designed it.
I would love to see you do a garage tour video Bruce! Talk about the dimensions or desk tool chests etc 👃👃
Cracking vid Bruce. I'd lived in fear of fitting one of these on my RT but you have led me to a better place. The cable tie trick is magnificent! Good to see The Beast resting quietly.
Thanks Kevin, honestly mate it is REALLY easy to fit 👍
this guy is a wildly entertaining loveable viking
Cheers Bruce!👍
Nice. Straight to the point install with non of that ocd faffery. Man cave on point.
Cable tie routing. Genius. I'll borrow that one. 👍

Love the T-shirt Bruce. Great vid.
Ha Ha thanks Charles - my wife HATES this shirt 😂👍
Nice bit of kit & nice garage 😎
Cheers 😉👍
Great tutorial there Bruce, just bought this myself, more for the extra spotlights to flash when filtering and the upgraded 120db Denali horn🥴
Never had a 'Teapotone' eye view before, works really well! Nice and easy fit - cheers for sharing..
Cheers Rob 👍
Hi Bruce, noticed that you only tightened the battery negative with your finger tips on the driver. I would recommend you get it as tight as you can. You don’t want it coming loose and loose connections get hot and stop working. Other than that looking forward to the next vid. All the best.
Awesome vid! My ezcan arrives tomorrow. Thanks for the tips!
No bother, hope it helps 👍
Good tutorial Bruce.
Thanks Lyn 👍
They are really good these hexezcan, I added additional driving lamps to my GS also a wire to run a 12v compressor as the accessory socket on the bike doesn’t give sufficient amps I upped one of the outlets from the hex to work the comp just in case. Keep up bread vlogs.

Hey great to hear Louis, welcome to the channel bud and thanks for subscribing 👍
Looking forward to seeing the K2 installation..
Nice bit of kit. 😃👍

Great bit of kit Bruce, love mine. Glad you finally got it installed! :-)
Another alternative if you want to power accessories is a Fuzeblock FZ1 (also available from Nippy Normans) . Not as neat as the Hex ezcan but its half the price. Recently fitted one to a 2014 RT
Nice easy clean install
Cheers, aye it’s very simple.
Even I can do it!!! 🤣👍
Great video Bruce, but the T-Shirt was spot on :)...perhaps you should sent 1 to that annoying hater you talked about a few vids. ago!!

Cheers Brent, it’s on the list bud 😉👍
Just so people are aware, new Zealand is in the southern hemisphere. So the best time to come down and jump on a bike is from November to April. 👍🍺
Love to visit NZ on the bike. Bit pricey though - there is a company that ships your bike to NZ from the UK www.newzealandmotorcycleadventures.co.uk/
what can I configure without connecting any device output?
That looks numpty proof so far.......so how much was it Bruce? And where did you buy it from?
I paid about £140 for it I think, a mate was over in the States and asked if I wanted one bringing back 👍
teapotone you can buy at Nippy Norman’s now about £150-£160 for anyone interested.
I ve got the complete set up off my 2017 including lights I went back to a Triumph you can have the lot for £150 plus post. 07818615393

I’d love to but unfortunately she’d need an mot to ride on the road in the U.K. again. To pass the mot I’d have to replace the original plastics at the back of the bike as they are held on with bungee nets and cable ties - and I don’t want to change her at all from when she finished the trip.
That nice and easy trouble with my XR is they don’t have a tire pressure monitor 😤👍👍
You can plug the EZCan into a variety of different ‘bits’ within the canbus, just have a google and see what’s suitable 👍
Cool I’ll have a shorty I want to put some spots on my XR cheers Bruce 👍👍👍

There are 5 cables, power cable, cable for gps, cable for handlebar control, and the two camera cables. It all fits under the seat but if Andymancam saw the cables he would be a gibbering wreck...
What does the hex ezcan do?
The Beamers (and some other bikes) use a can bus wiring loom/system, which can make adding additional electrical accessories a pain as they don’t always play nicely with the native electrics.
The Hex EZCan simply plugs into the existing can bus system and you then connect any auxiliary electrical accessories - like spotlights, horns, power outlets, dashcams etc, direct to the EZCan, then utilise the built in app to configure them to your bikes existing switches and buttons.
This means you can then turn the new spotlights on via your bikes existing light button/switch, activate the new horn with the bikes horn button etc etc
There’s loads of vids on what the EZCan can do, it’s a great bit of kit.
I’ll be using it to install the new INNOVV UK K2 camera system soon 👍
Love the vids xx
Thanks Em! 🙇♂️😉
Haha.... Or just short for Mark
Weve been out together about 18m ago... I was on a red tracer700
Ha Ha, sorry bud!!! Thought you were part of my .00008% female following!!! 🤣👍
But why do you need an EZcan Bruce? Does it give the bike more power...? 😜😉👍
Love your vids mate but for me, you missed a trick there.
Keep getting asked what it is!? Genuinely didn’t think anyone would watch the vid unless they wanted to install it, so thought they’d already know what it is 😬
Ok here goes, cut and paste from the previous 974 questions about what it is 🤣

Sound like a clever bit of kit. I'd be interested to see a configuration video. I don't need one, just interested in bike tech stuff mate. 👍
That shirt!
oh.. so that's how bacon is made...
😉🤣👍
Your bike is boggin? That's sparkling clean underneath compared to mine 😂😂
Hope alls ok in work fella
Great video as usual but have you changed the lens you look like you’ve lost weight???? Honest not taking the piss you definitely look you’ve lost weight
I’ve started doing that running bollocks as it was getting way out of control, shifted a wee bit of timber recently so it’s going in the right direction at the mo 👍
What would be more helpful, would be an explanation of what a HEX EZcan is, rather than demonstrating the very challenging proceedure for removing the seat!
Sorry Mark, I’d assumed that if you were searching for ‘Hex EZCan installation’ you might actually know what it was??? Hence why I don’t explain what it is in the vid.

@@teapotone Thanks for explaining in such detail. I'm just your average subscriber so when I get a notification that you've got a a new vid, I take a look. Had never heard of Hex EZcan. Sounds like a clever bit of kit.
mark dearing No dramas bud, appreciate you watching my vids - even if you don’t know what they’re about! 🤣🙏👍
When the notification popped up on my phone , the first thought I had was that you were fitting a new exhaust system!!!! It was only when you started waving the package around the penny dropped. I started watching on my phone and I didn’t get any sound until I did a bit of fandangling.
👍
But what is it?? Also like the comment if you want to do it properly drop this out... Im just going to do this though hehe :-)

If you come to NZ drop me a line...
Thanks bud, be great to meet up cheers 👍
You call that boggin’ ? Come and clean mine 😂
Ha Ha - you’re talking to a man who usually cleans his bike once a year - whether it needs it or not.
I’m just trying to play to the crowd and get it in before people start commenting on how dirty the bike is!! 🤣😂👍
Whats wrong with your elbow.?
???? I don’t know, what IS wrong with my elbow???? 🤷♂️
The bike is boggin! it could even be manky under there Bruce
It’s been a LOT worse! 🤣
Have you been losing a few lbs Mr S?
HEX EZcan is a disappointing product. Doesn't control blinkers or brake light, the software is unintuitive, limited, and looks like a teenager designed it.
