Thank you for your video. I’m trying to wire a n my Garmin to my Superduke 1290 GT and whilst the cables are in a different place (easier intact) your video did help me a lot to determine what was what.
Hi Michael. Thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed and and found it useful. Agree that the permanent live would be used for bike alarm and potentially a tracker for theft. 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Tom. Here is the part number 60412992044. Put this in to your search engine and a number of links should come up for you to buy from. Good luck. Cheers. Billy
Thanks for comment and question. KTM bracket pretty good. I have tried brackets for a few different bikes now. Can’t say that it’s the beat out there but perfectly functional and practical. Some vibrations and shakes when off road but that’s expected off road. For road riding as a good as any other out there. Ride safe 👍🏼
Just followed the video whilst doing this on my new 1290 S, a little bit more of a fiddle as the screen doesn't rotate as far back on the S compared to the R but still do-able with a bit of cable fishing, thanks again!
Hi Billy! It seems that you are doing this helpfull work on a 1290 sadv r 2019. Do you know if is the same on 1290 sadv s of 2018? I'm asking this because I've seen another tutorial that explain I have to remove all the headlight to connect acc2 to my gps. Thanks in advance!
Hi thee. Thanks for watching and your question! To be honest I don't know. but in thinking it through and the location of where I found the ACC cables, it may be that removing the headlight may be an alternative route to the cables. Having said that, I would still prefer to access the cables via the route i had done. Sorry I could not be more help. Cheers Billy
HI mate. Yes there is a nut on the other side that you need to not lose. then it pulls out. Good luck. let me know if you have any other questions. Stay safe.
Hi W B-Well Thanks for the question. Thinking about it i guess it would be an accessory that would have a switch on / off but no battery. It's a good question that i don't have a definitive answer for. If you find out let me know. Happy riding Billys Bike Adventures
Do you know the rating for Acc2? As I understand the Acc2 is only 1 amp and exceeding that will blow the electronics module output. You power it from Acc1 through a relay controlled by Acc2. Not sure of the year model this applies to. I see your manual says 10A, what year is it? Also the part of the switched output is powered through the 10A fuse but this does not mean that the output is not 1 amp. There is no fuse between the module and Acc2.
Hi David. Thanks for your question. The GPS device only draws about 0.5 (0.6/.07 tops). So 1A sufficient. I don't have anything else connected to the AAC2. I use that one due to it being switched where as the ACC1 is permanent live. If you are concerned about the power exceeding that then you can use a relay connected to ACC1, switched using ACC2, to work around that. Hope that helps. Ride safe Billy
@@BillysBikeAdventures good deal. I have been researching this a bit. The newer bikes may have a relay already on Acc2 anyway. I don't know the rated amps but Acc1 and Acc2 are on a 10 amp fuse. The repair service manual for your bike will either have Acc1 listed on fuse 2 or like mine and yours will have Acc1 and Acc2 listed. On the later I believe it already has a protection relay and should carry the same amps as Acc1. I checked the 2016 1290 manual and it had no fuse on Acc2 where my 2019 has both Acc on fuse 2 like yours. Regards
It's a good question. I just checked the ones I have and unable to see an identifier for it. If my memory serves me right I believe that I went to the shop and purchased the one that looked like the best fit. I did measure the female ACC2 connector to ensure a best purchase. Not sure that will help. Good luck. Billy
May be easier to pull the seat (rear) off and check those since they're easier to get to. They are bundled in the tail section. Some guys will actually use the rear ones for running power to the front.
With ACC 1, once the ignition is off, the garmin will turn off. You won't drain the battery. Only if a device is connected directly to battery will the battery drain. Switchable means you can switch a device off while the bike is running (like heated grips with a switch). Not switchable means, you cannot switch off a device while the bike is running.
@@BillysBikeAdventures Hi Billy. Some people are saying it is but theoretically it does not make sense. When you turn off your ignition, you now have an open circuit to the entire charging system so nothing is live other than the fan on liquid cooled bikes. I'm gonna do some testing and see but it makes no sense. Only devices directly connected to battery would be live when the ignition is switched off.
I did exactly what you said on my 2018 - 1290. I fished around for those wires for hours. No luck. Wondering if they don’t exist in the 2018. Frustrating
Hi Silvers Ss. Sorry you have had issues find the ACC2 wires. Let me find out if they do indeed exist in the same place for the 2918 model. I’ll ask on the channel related video. 👍🏼
Hi Silvers Ss. I have had a reply from another BBA community member about the GPS power on the 1290SA R. Whilst not directly answering the question of ACC2 being under the TFT there is apparently a switched live under the seat of the 2018 SA R
Hi Silvers Ss. How you getting on with finding a power source for your GPS? Another rider has come back to me and said that the wires are in the same place under the TFT screen for their 2018 bike. Hope you get this sorted! CHeers Billy
Thanks for posting this. It helped me a lot and I didn't give up. KTM doesn't make it easy!
Hi Ray. Great to hear this helped 👍 Stay safe. Billy
Thank you very much. This really helped a lot. Stay safe and healthy. Greetings from Germany
Thanks Juergen. Great to hear the video was helpful. Ride safe stay safe 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks! I just bought the new 1290 S and not a single dealer I spoke with knew where the ACC wires were.
Awesome machine. Hope the new models still have theses in the same place👍🏼 good luck and enjoy the ride 😀👍🏼

Thanks Devon Biker. Great to hear it helped. Stay safe, cheers. Billy
Thanks, great vid. Off into the garage now to fit mine on my 1290gt.
Hi BroadyBiker. Thanks and good luck finding the ACC2 for the GPS in the GT. 👍🏼
@@BillysBikeAdventures all sorted thanks.
Well put together video enjoyed it . As to W B-Well on live wires do you think they would be use for alarm, or an GPS tracker for theft .
Hi Michael. Thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed and and found it useful. Agree that the permanent live would be used for bike alarm and potentially a tracker for theft. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks - very helpful. Where did you find the windshield frame mount for the GPS?

Good instructions...what do you think of the KTM sat Nav bracket

@@stuartknowles6160 Great to hear that the content is clear with how to do's . thanks for the feedback Stuart
Does this still apply to the 2024 models? I just picked one up and I'm transfering all of my gear to it.
Hey mate. I honestly don't know unfortunately. I will try and find out. Let me know if you figure it out. Cheers. Billy

Hi! How do you take out the quick release arm? Do you need to take off the nut on opposite side? How to take out the quick release?
HI mate. Yes there is a nut on the other side that you need to not lose. then it pulls out. Good luck. let me know if you have any other questions. Stay safe.
Can you tell me the name of the adapter and the equipment you used to crimp to connect it?
Here you Steve. Thanks for watching! Let me know if any other questions.
Males spade crimp lugs 4.8mm
Crimping tool
What size spade connectors did you use ? Thanks
Hi Scott. 16-14 Awg .250 inch, 1/4 inch crimp male spade connector. hope that helps. Good luck with it. Cheers Billy
What would someone use the permanent live ACC wires for?
Hi W B-Well
Thanks for the question. Thinking about it i guess it would be an accessory that would have a switch on / off but no battery. It's a good question that i don't have a definitive answer for. If you find out let me know.

@@RoadKing05FLHR The 'newer' bikes are 10a on both Acc1 AND Acc2 front and rear. (I'm not sure when they changed from 1a and 10a?)
Ah good to know, thanks David. Hope the installation goes well 👍🏼
@@SmittyAZ right, it seems to be 2017. They share a 10 amp circuit.
I've found that those connectors come in different sizes. What size fits the ACC2?
It's a good question. I just checked the ones I have and unable to see an identifier for it. If my memory serves me right I believe that I went to the shop and purchased the one that looked like the best fit. I did measure the female ACC2 connector to ensure a best purchase. Not sure that will help. Good luck. Billy

In Your heading you write that you will use ACC1, but you use ACC2 ? :)
Thanks Kent for your message. Now corrected in heading 👍🏼👍🏼
What mount is that?
