Hello everyone. I purchased a new buell last just 08 xb12xt. Lovely bike, had a few small problems but been pretty good. My question is do u need a special adapter to get these power out lets to work and also do u need the ignition on. I have an intercom that i need to wire to the bike so it would be very convient to use the power out lets especially if u need the ignition on so i don't dis charge the battery. I tested both power outlets with a mobile charger and the light on the charger doesn't come on. I used a multimeter and they don't read just 0.00. Is it possible i need some sort adapter first. Also i was reading the thread about the clutch wire getting burnt on the header of the engine, my bike is 08, was bought in july 08, do i have the new recommend part. I read some where that the new part is on the 08 and 09 models. Thanks David | ||

Yes, the key needs to be on. A standard American automobile style cigar lighter plug is all you need. The "08's (I have one also) have the clutch cable problem solved. As long as you have a stamped metal cable retainer you are good to go, the wire-form retainer was prone to failure. | ||

Thanks for the reply. Should a mobile charger work. plugged straight in to the power out lets. or u need a standard american automobile style cigar plug first. I put in a cigar lighter that i had in my van and it didn't seem to fit this power outlet. I'm from ireland , you don't know what adapter i would need here. Thanks David. | ||
