• 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.

Plastic knockout cover at steering base: what is it?

Greetings from Ontario and a first time poster here.
Long time motorcycle rider (dirt bikes, CBR's, Ninja's, VFR1200) and as of last fall a new to me 2013 RT-S.
Just wondering what this is for as I just picked up a Garmin Zumo 395LM and I'm looking to hard wire it so any tips or how-to's on that would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks,
Michael
 
Michael,

They are referring to the center of the handlebars where a plastic plug is inserted for cosmetic purposes. If you use the OEM harness and mount the wiring goes through this hole and into the depths of the bike. The install kit includes a replacement "plug" with a notch for the cable harness after the install is complete. I have a PDF copy of the install for the Garmin Zumo 660 for the RT. I am sure the install is similar. At least it shows where the harness connects to the various parts of the bike if you are going to use all of the available functions.

If you PM me with an email address, I will be happy to send you the electronic PDF of the installation procedures with the parts needed/used (including the plastic "knockout cover) if it will help.

Enjoy.
