Garmin Zumo 590

[IMORTAL_Indian]

Hi All,

Was offered a Garmin 590 at a price too good to refuse.

Looking for options to mount. I guess the only place to mount is just below the key

How about power? I could wire to to main batter but recall a ?nippy device??? That plugs into the loom?

I normally use the wunderlich tank bag so want to make sure it does not impede.

Thanks

If you mount it at the fork stem and want to use the Wunderlich bag at the same time, I would recommend getting one of the stem extenders from a company like Ultimate Addons or Ram mounts, as gives additional clearance.

Edit: just seen the stem extender is pictured in the photo.

For power, Nippy Norman?s do an adaptor for the can bus power port by the left hand fairing panel. Alternatively, you can hardwire directly into this port, which is what I had done on my Gen 3.

Thanks Oli. Is this the Nippy Norman Canbus one?

That?s the right one. I seem to remember that the instructions for wiring are a bit vague as you only need 2 of those leads. 1 was easy to identify from the plug markings but the other is lucky dip, think it was the ground.
Works well when done though and is transportable to a new bike.

Fitted the cable that Soof had supplied. Plugged straight in by the right hand side near the horn. However when testing for power, I got power coming back from both. So used one for power and earthed a separate one to the bolt where the horn is. Now have power when key is in and stays on for 10 seconds when key is out.

Just awaiting Ram extension so it will then sit just above the tank bag (as advised by Oli)
