Adventuretech Wiring Harness Installation
Quick Guide:
Red wire to battery Positive
Black wire to battery Negative
Yellow wire to a switch source
Mount switch to clutch side mirror mount base.
Detailed instruction:
1. Attach the switch to the clutch side mirror mount by removing one of the mounts bolts and re-installing through the ring on the switch.
NOTE: The wires should be zipped tied with the switch in the desired location so that if the switch were to come loose from the holder the switch would still be located in approximately the desired position. This also lessons strain on the switch holder.
NOTE: The ring can be removed and reoriented so the switch can be placed as desired.

Here you can see the switch between the clutch side switch-gear and the mirror mount. It may be necessary to move the mirror mount over about a 1/16" of an inch or so.

2. Leaving the yellow wire hanging free for now, but attach the first 6 to 8 inches of black sheathed wire from switch to existing wires from clutch side switch-gear with zip-ties.
3. Feed battery connections under tank and side panels on left side of the bike. It may be helpful to loosen the fuel tank. It should not be necessary to remove the tank completely.

4. Run wire with battery connection back to battery. Secure harness to existing wires wire and route so that it will not become pinched during re-assembly and use.

5. Attach the battery connections, red to battery positive, black to battery negative.
6. Secure relay. Here you can see it zip-tied to existing wiring in the front left side of the fairing. You could also use the tab on top of the relay to bolt the relay in place. Be sure to check that full movement of the handlebars is not impeded by either placement of the relay or the wiring. .
7. Attach yellow wire to a 12 volt switched source.
NOTE: On 2014+ DL1000s, DL1050, and 2017+ DL650s the dash mounted auxiliary power port is a good choice. Simply splice the yellow wire into the positive side of the power going to this port.
On 2012 to 2016 DL650s there are three options for switched power. The factory auxiliary power port connector under the right side fairing under the tank, the factory heated grip connector behind the left side of the radiator, and the brown wire going to the tail light (NOT brake light).
Here you can see I ran a black wire to the switch to minimize the yellow wire. A wrap of black tape and it disappears.

9. Attach wires to lights and zip tie excess wire to existing wire in the fairing. Place any excess wire in the area between the side panels and the tank. Zip-tie in place.
10. If you loosened the tank check to make sure that you put the bolts back in place and tightened them up.
11. Check for unobstructed freedom of movement. The handlebars should rotate without putting any stress on the wires.
12. Go for a ride.
