The three Torx fasteners holding the dash were secured with red Loctite on my Scrambler and the rearmost head burred off very easily when trying to loosen it. Even with the bolt head drilled out and the console freed it still won't shift with a pair of mole grips around the bolt shaft. This must be why they give you three new bolts in the kit. When I finally get it out I'll be refitting with blue Loctite, that red stuff is a menace on areas where disassembly is anticipated.
Beats me @@SongsFromTheSaddle, even the replacement bolts supplied in the kit have red Loctite pre-applied. I did manage eventually to remove the bolt by applying a soldering iron directly to the shaft for a minute followed by a good wrench on the mole grips. Refitted the bolts with Loctite 242 applied and it seems fine. Thx for your clip too - very helpful.
Thank you for this video! Can you give a link or the name of the Ram ball mounts you spoke about at the end of the video? I would like those exact ones for my scrambler
Thanks for the video. I would like to do this upgrade. Where are you from and do you guys ever drink coffee? Or is tea the way to go in your part of the world?
good job as usual, clean install. BUT i don’t like that it’s on all the time, especially even if the ignition is off. that’s a no no on Triumph. what type of plug is it?
@@SongsFromTheSaddle: DIN plug, I’ll have to look into that. I missed your reply somehow. Thank you for the response. Did you leave it on all the time or did you reconfigure it to turn off with the ignition? Did you
How fast do you think the battery will die if the power socket is on at all times? Would turning the bike on every few days in the winter alleviate that problem?
There is no drain form the socket if you are not using it. However, I always put my bike on a battery tender over winter it they are not being ridden for a few weeks.
Thank you for the video. Did you have to release the cable from the wire set to have some length? I think I need to cut the tape pull the socket wire and retape altogether the rest of the cables.
@@SongsFromTheSaddle thank you, I managed to do it without. Again thank you for your very helpful video. The dealer was very sceptical of my ability to fit it... girl power all thank to you :)
As I'm in progress with this right now I thought I'd note them for the next ppl. The headlight main screw is 5mm Allen. The 3 screws for the top panel are T25. The big brass nut is 22mm but good luck getting a spanner in there, and using a socket is no good cos the barrel turns and I can't find a way to hold it still 🤦♂
Is this a global socket size, or just European? What’s the name of the male socket that will power accessories? Do I need an adapter like a 12v to USB car adapter in the US?
Hi Jon. This is a standard (universal) 12v output. Its exactly the same socket that I had on my previous BMW GS Adventure. I believe you have the same in the USA, but can't be sure as I'm in the UK. The Scrambler also has a separate 5v USB output under the seat. With a long cable you can use that to power/charge items in your tank bag or saddle bag.
@@SongsFromTheSaddle Thanks. Sounds like it’s worth having to let accessories be accessed from the dash area. Do you know if it shuts off with the ignition? Or does it wire straight to the battery? I don’t wanna risk running the battery down when the bikes off
