SYM VTS 200 Power Outlet Modification.

The SYM VTS 200 already has one power outlet located in the front lockable compartment, however I find it difficult to use and occasionally during GPS usage its intermittently powering of the unit due to vibration and being inside the compartment its difficult to get it to mate right.
I decide to install another outlet below the instrument panel on the right hand side of the instruments. I bought a marine grade outlet from ebay, about RM 30.00 or 40.00 can't recall how much, but about that.

I need to install the outlet just about here.

Like so.

To install this outlet, the front face of the VTS 200 need to be remove in order to get to the electrics and access for the socket installation.

Below is a video of how to remove the front fairing.

Any time working with electrics its best to disconnect the battery, the negative terminal disconnected will do the job.

I am installing it below the instrument cluster on the right hand lower and a cut out done with a hole saw to allow socket installation.

Socket installed, view from below.

And the connection made to existing socket, the load is not that heavy so its okay to parallel it with existing.

View from top.

All done and testing a phone charger to see whether it work or not.

Took me about two hour to do, and a lot of panel to remove. With this outlet its easier to use GPS or phone while riding. This particular socket is not made for cigarette lighter its only meant as a power outlet.


It is directly connected to battery and can be use to charge the battery too.
