Tools Required:
Your ZRX1200R tool kit has the appropriate tools needed to connect the Ignitor Alarm System, however you will need some zip ties for fasting the wiring to the electrical loom, also to fasten the alarm to the tail frame. The only tool that you will need is a soldering iron and solder.
Time to Fit:
45 minute, includes reading instructions and soldering terminal.
|
Remove your ZRX1200R seat to access the point of installation, all tools needed with the exception of the soldering iron are available from your ZRX1200R Toolkit provided by Kawasaki.
|
You will need access to your battery for connection as per instructions, however I chose to use a different point for the power source. For the purpose of the excercise this is how to get to your battery. You will need a small lever (ie: screwdriver or small spanner) to fit into the battery compartment cover clip. removing the cover will expose the side of the battery, but it is too hard to get too.
|
To access the battery terminals you will need to remove the air filter cover by removing the two small screws. Once the air filter cover is out of the way it is easy to access the battery terminals. However I chose a better power source point, read on and see how.
|
You will need to remove the tool compartment, only two screws hold this down, once removed you can see and access the wiring looms.
|
I chose to use the staring solenoid as the point of power for the alarm, you must use the battery side of the solenoid, not the switched side. In this picture I marked the terminal with black texta (Bat +), this will be the point of connection later on.
|
Disconnect the tail/brake light connector, I used a multi meter to ensure I found the correct wiring on my ZRX1200R, it should be the red wire, no doubt obvious. To remove the spade terminal from the block, you will need a small screw driver (watch maker type, usally found in the tool sections of most stores) to depress the clip which is preventing the removal of the spade terminal.
|
Once the spade terminal is removed, it is now time to make sure you route the wiring correctly around the ZRX1200R bike frame and wiring loom, this will help prevent any unsightly wires from showing.
|
It is time now to fit the alarm wiring to the tail/brake light power wire. Simply strip about 10-15 mm from the black alarm wire, wrap/twist the wire around the neck of the spade terminal as done in the photos. (DO NOT wrap it around the flat section of the spade terminal as this will prevent the spade terminal from fitting back into the connector block.) You are now ready to solder the wiring to the spade terminal, not too much solder or you get it back into the connector block. Prior to pushing the spade terminal back into the connector block, ensure that the small clip which you had depressed earlier to release the spade terminal is sitting up as seen in the picture above.
|
Place the spade terminal back into the connector block, ensuring that the clip is in the correct orientation to click into place..
|
The spade terminal is correctly inserted and the small clip has secured the spade terminal into place. Connect the two halves of the connector block togeter, ensureing that connector block clip clicks into place. Now position back behind the duck tail frame.
|
Loop a couple of zip ties around the duck tail frame and alarm mounting bracket, this is how the alarm will be fastened once everything is correct positioned. Once you are satisfied that the wiring and alarm are position appropriate then you can tension the zip ties and remove the excess strips.
|
The excess alarm wiring can now be looped and zip tied and place out of site behind the duck tail frame.
|
The white wire (alarm 12v + power wire is zip tied to the main loom which runs from the tail section down along the fram past the starter solenoid. Make sure to place the fuse between the fuse box and starter solenoid, zip tie into place. (IMPORTANT: remove the alarm fuse prior to connecting to power.) Now find the power side of your starter solenoid, this can be done with a multi meter. Loosen the hex bold holding the power wire to the solenoid, place the alarm power wire spade terminal under the hex bolt/washer and tighten.
|
Replace the starter solenoid rubber boot cover over the terminals. Time now to test the alarm or more specifically the wiring. Make sure the ignition is off, insert the alarm fuse you removed earlier.. watch out for puffs of smoke.. just kidding. Warning, the alarm becomes active and is armed once the fuse is inserted. For testing purpose rock your bike to see how sensitive it is to movement, I had to give it a good shake while on the side stand. I set my alarm off under the pergola, within 5 seconds my head was pulsating and I was gritting my teeth waiting for the alarm to reset, it did but I'm reluctant to set it off again under the pergola. Replace your tool compartment and seat, go through the Ignitor Instructions on how to operate your Ignitor Alarm System. The system is so simple to install and use, I was impressed.
