Has anyone installed one?
On my other bikes, I usually use the Deltran Battery Tender ring terminal harness wired to the battery so I can charge the battery and also a female cigarette adapter for a phone/GPS.

What's the best place to install the 12V outlet on the Yager?
Thanks!

Under the seat?

That's one possibility but then I would have to run a wire (for phone or GPS) all the way to the trunk. I rather do the opposite so it's always out and available without needing to open the seat or met-in (what kind of name is that anyway? ::) ;D ).

If you are going to install it somewhere that is exposed I would use one that is weatherproof. I got one from O'Reilly Auto Parts and installed it on my GT 300i.

Thanks for the link Wiz!
I am just surprised that Yager owners here have not installed one.... it's so useful.

I'm probably on of the few people in the world who doesn't have or uses a cell phone so I've never considered it. My wife and I have a track phone in our car but haven't used it in years -- the number probably doesn't work anymore. I Just have a maps under my seat, or google directions and print out a map if I need to go somewhere.
Met-in stands for '(Hel)Met-in. As in the helmet goes in here.

haven't taken the trouble to do any measuring, but with the battery in the back of the seat compartment and the desire to put the plug somewhere on the front panel, i'm guessing you'd need somewhere around 6 or 7 feet of cable. does the unit you posted have that sort of length?

The one I used has a 17 foot cord. That should reach anywhere on the scooter.

I can't remember perfectly but it may be too short. An extension may be necessary.

our scoot club went on a ride yesterday and during one of the breaks the conversation turned to power outlets (for phones, gps, etc.). i was bemoaning the lack of same on my yager.
looking forward to your report and pix.

I just put in a 12v outlet, great place is right next to the ignition.
I wired back to the battery, fused.

Looks really clean!
Good job!!
Did you remove all the panels or just the front one?
-
i haven't gotten into the innards of the yager. what's the second picture showing me?
-
I put my outlet a little lower without removing any panels. I went lower just for that reason, it works fine. I too went to the battery and fused it. It is grounded right near the receptacle. I purchased the outlet at a marine supply store.
Dave IBQ, you may want to take the extra stuff off of your key, mine scratched the black plastic. BYW, does anyone know a treatment for the black plastic, it is scratched from my key & buttons on my jacket.

I was replacing some plastic, so had all the panels off. To install where I did you will need to remove the front panel

That's is the inside photo of the panel where the 12v outlet is installed, it id the cylinder looking part with the wires coming out of it
I just wanted to show how much room is behind that panel

Vivo, the other thing I noticed is that black plastic is not very resistant to chemicals, cheap plastic, I spilled some gas on mine and it discolored it. The way the fill nozzle is setup, it is really hard to put in gas from the pump and not get it to overfill.

Well, black plastics are usually the recycled ones. However, the main characteristic of these plastics is the resistant to fire, I mean they contain fire retardants, and will not burst into flames right away in cases of fire. When it loses the fire retardant component, it will burn fast. If you want fire and chemical resistant plastic, you have to pay... ;D make it impact resistant, and they already call it "engineering plastic"... ;), that's expensive stuff.

I Have alwayes used Pledge in the spray can to clean and protect the plastic on my vehicles. It is advertised as a non petroleum product and seems to leave enough of a film to make the bug removal process a little easier. lately to save money I have tried walmarts generic furniture polish and have not noticed much difference.
This has worked on the windshield of my yager and I have used it for the face shield on my helmets for over a year. I live in florida so I have never washed my bikes, just used a soft clothe and this product to clean everything. Both Bikes look like new :)
