Really struggling to fit optimate on bike fits easy enough but there is no room between battery and seat. Anyone found a better route?.
Intend to fit my sat nav and looking for switched live best plan to date seems to be dropping live wire in ignition fuse and neutral to battery.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

To fit the Optimate cable I removed the tool tray.

I stored the tools from the tray in a small bag under the seat.

For switched power, these connectors https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-MT090-...or+Yamaha+&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=m570.l1313 plugs into the connector by the rectifier for the heated grips.

Optimate lead and sat nav additional

Male plug as arrived from eBay, Yamaha additional 12 volt switched live resides just behind rectifier.
Next question do any of my new xsr worldwide family no which colour is the live wire and which is neutral....
Will a simple bulb to earth test reveal all?
Concerning the male connector do you push wire through BEFORE crimping fittings or crimp fitting on to wires and push into connection block?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to bring back an old thread - can anyone confirm this is a SWITCHED live? I placed my multi meter on it and was still getting a read out even after the bike was off for a minute?
