waterproof plus mode kit group buy

Hi All,
I am planning to add TL1000R PLUS(+) MOD to my TLR based on Mako's drawing, while it is off use. Before I order all components, I was wondering if anyone is interested in purchasing a pre-made kit ? If there is interest, I can make some more for Tiller riders.

Plus mod bridges OEM wiring and adds extra power to coils. Apparently it is one of the best frequent mods to TL1000R bike.

I am planning to use quality components (high temp Panasonic relays and japanese Jazaki connectors, all waterproof). Should be a direct swap, no cutting to loom necessary. All professionally soldered and simple to fit (I will try to write up simple installation guide). Relays are japanese matshushita micro relays with tabs and all connectors will be brass with sealing sheats, crimped onto #12 AWG cables. The wiring will be fused with waterproof 20a fuseholder (miniblade fuse included)

Total cost of £40 ($65) for kit including tracked delivery worldwide. Kits can be done within 2-3 weeks. High cost of kit is due to japanese connectors and relays.

have not ordered anything yet -> therefore can't take pictures of product that I have not assembled yet :)

Once people put themselves on list, I order all stuff and put pics of assembly in progress

Is 10 the minimum order before making these.? (had to think of something to say as my name is 1 character too short to be allowed).

well, first five people on the list will get first batch made and delivered. Then when the list reaches 10th name, people on 6-10 position get the second batch done).

Since there is a request for pictures and people are getting interest, I am going to buy components for 5 kits tomorrow anyway.

So luckily within a week I can start shipping the kits for first 5 people on list...
How do you plan on waterproofing the coil terminals when they are not by design and cannot be replaced as they are epoxied into the coil? :O

..hi-temp silicone sleaves on connectors. They fit nicely and create a lip in front which prevents water getting in. It is not waterproof, but can prevent moisture getting in. Coil terminals are .250 spades, therefore there is not much you can do about it with the way suzuki designed it. The main focus of kit is to make sure the fuse, relay and relay socket are waterproof.
Just trying to help here. I made quite a few of them... the coil spades are different size actually If you're planning on replacing the small loom between the main harness and the coil: one of them is .250 and the other is the smaller one: .125 I think. :thumbup

I think Suzuki planned (and spent a little more money) on having that weird little loom for maintenance purposes as opposed to going straight to the coil from the main loom.

I would imagine that you made a prototype...with....pitchers. Yes? ;)
little update:
components arrived yesterday by grumpy royal mail postman. I have enough parts to make 5 kits, so will start soldering & crimping tomorrow. Will post pictures by end of saturday ;) , so please stay tuned.

this is the kit after saturday's assembly, before I fitted to bike (please note that terminals are not having silicone sheaths yet, as I was measuring voltage drop on the ignition coils)



bit fiddly to insert through positive battery cap.

I have already upgraded my Regulator/Rectifier to MOSFET unit and replaced charging terminals with sealed Metripack630 connectors. I got stable 14.2V in loom.
I have measured voltage drop on the ignition terminals:
previously : 11.4V (drop of 2.8V = 19.8% loss)
now : 14.15V (drop of 0.34%)

So if anyone interested could he/she put himself on list and send £40 (UK shipping) or $75 (worldwide shipping to USA, Canada, Australia etc) via paypal to [email protected]

If it's not to late can I have the round terminals to the battery left uncrimped and longer so I can connect them to a new auxiliary fusebox on my Cagiva Navigator which for location reasons is going to be near the rear of the seat.

Will not therefor need an inline fuse.
