Thanks for looking Robbo.
I looked for a wiring diagram myself but to no avail.
I also looked for a diagram for the optional controller but no luck there either.
Hopefully, someone has a battery pack, charger, controller, etc and can check the output to let me know.
I already have a couple of connections to the battery for heated grips and a CTEK battery conditioner, so wanted to minimise the number of connections by splicing onto the CTEK cable and soldering a universal SAE connector, to which I can plug in an Exo2 conversion cable.
I guess if I don't get any luck regarding finsing out which polarity the connector is, I'll have to bite the bullet and get a dedicated Exo2 battery connector.

Hi Foccers
I have just inherited a really great Triumph branded Exo2 heated vest (cheers Paul/Ogri48) and am trying to wire a suitable connector to the mighty thou.
What I need to know is, is the female connector, in the left hand pocket of the vest, centre positive or centre negative?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers & regards,
Dave.

Hey Sharpie.
I bought these last year and they work just fine:

That gets my goat too, incorrect use of a saying.


"The proof of the pudding is in the eating" is the correct saying 

Let's be honest, it's far more fun than a gym session!! 

No coffee, I paid for a couple of beers in a pub on the way home after the match.
Deffo on the train.

Yesterday actually.
Took the mighty thou for MOT at a new place round the corner from where I have moved to - and what a find.
It's a little garage, MOT & servicing cars & bikes, run by two local guys, both of who ride bikes.
Really nice blokes, very helpful and told me they are more than happy to change bike tyres bought from the internet for £15 a pop.


Oh, and the Fazer passed with one advisory - "Rear suspension arm pin, bush or joint worn but not resulting in excessive movement".
He said that when he had it up on the centre stand, grabbed the swing arm and "wiggled" it, there was a tiny bit of movement.
He also went on to say that he thought that there the Fazer had quite a complicated multi-link setup so that was probably why!!


Bring on the Spring & Summer 

Fazer oil level sensors are known for being a bit temperamental, they either just stick or corrosion get in or on the contacts causing a short.  It's normally sorted by a simple clean up of the connectors, some need removal and a clean.  The latter is best done during an oil change, some do fail that said, I've never replaced one. 


The sensor is really just early warning of low oil level and they're pretty sensitive 100ml ish from on to off.   The slight glass is the best way to check your oil level, best checked 5 mins after you've ridden it, half way is good.  Fazer are really good on oil a healthy engine should use almost nothing between changes.


Pull off the contractors, if there corroded clean them as best you can, both the wire end and on the sensor.  Reconnect if the light goes out bingo sorted, put some silicon grease on them and recover, job done, drain out the oil, if the oil is good/new or still a few 1000's to go be needing changing tip it back in 3/4 way up the sight glass.  Ride check 5mins after you've stopped.


I'd also not recommend starting sorted bikes every week, all your doing is encouraging moisture in the engine, which over time can start to emulsify the oil and it breaks down the oil faster.  In my opinion best way to store a bike, service the brakes, chain, levers, cables etc, pinch the fuel line and run the bike until it stops, hook up the Optimate (or similar) and leave it.  It will be fine like this for couple years, I kid you not.             

Loving the long-term storage advice Gnasher - simple but effective
Many thanks 

Me too - in red & white with the red seat, which, apparently, was the colour scheme nobody wanted when they first came out!!!!

I actually loved dandelion & burdock 

Mini digital electric air pump with croc connectors to attach to the battery, which I test every couple of months just to make it will work if and when I need it!!
