There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

On my 2012 RT I plug my maintainer into that plug when Not in use and have Used my Slime small compressor in the same plug to top off the 3 tires to the proper Pounds. I also Pump up my airbag with it BUT only for 2-4 Seconds to inflate the Manual Air Bag to about 12-15 pounds for a Single 200 Pound rider. I always keep my V-Twin on the maintainer because it does drain a certain amount of juice for the computer when sitting.

In the fronk in the right fuse panel you can switch fuse 6 over to 7 or it,s the other way.And the outlet in the trunk will will be live at all times.

:agree: Just 5 amps... :shocked:
But there ARE small compressors out there, that operate on less than that! :thumbup:

I blew the 3 Amp fuse in the dealer installed SAE pigtail from the battery in my
FRUNK when I tried to run the little Stop n Go compressor in my tire plug kit from that source. After checking to see why my battery maintainer wasn't working this fall, I found the blown 3 Amp fuse and replaced it with a 7.5 A fuse. I Also checked my maintainers and saw they ranged from 0.75 amp Battery Tender Junior to 1 A and a 2 Amp Schumacher maintainer. Likewise, little compressors vary, but most are around 5 Amp draw.

I apologize for my comment... nojoke
This info is from the owner's manual of a 2010 RT:
rmo2010-001-090_a
1. Power outlet
A 12-volt electric appliance may be
connected to the jack connector. Electric
current is supplied all the time.
NOTICE
The 12-volt power outlet
is not designed to supply current of
more than 3 amperes.
NOTE:
Leaving an appliance connected
while the engine is not running

I have run the same compressor from the back lighter socket several times with no problems.

Fuse Size
In 2014 and later the Accessory Fuse was changed to 5 Amp. On previous years it was 10 Amp, including Model Year 2013 (when they introduced the moveable fuse for switched or always on accessory plug).
Regardless of the fuse size the owners manuals always stated it was for no more than 3 Amps.
Not sure why the fuse was downgraded in 2014.

Apologies ACCEPTED.......
Hi Bob,
No offense taken !
( but you owe me one! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: ....)
I recalled because I was surprised when I saw that it was limited to 3 Amps. Now that you mention, it was indeed in my owner manual. My wife RS2012 has a 3A fuse listed and my ST2013 has a 10A listed. But both manual have the same paragraph than what you quoted above. To clear it out, one would have to check the wire gauge. B.T.W. you are never supposed to load a circuit at more than 80% of its fuse....
( or breaker, if talking of household.)

Hmm... I also ran it from the back after failing originally from the SAE tap
And checking the data on the compressor "after the fact" I see that it is rated at 6 AMP... hmmmm..

another approach.
As we all know, we should have a battery tender. Great Dealers supply then installed at delivery. That said I changed the 7.5 amp fuse to 10 amp. Now the pigtail will supply a compressor or most anything else. Ya have to change the plug on your compressor..

Use the battery tender lead. 7.5 amps direct to the battery.
