Auto-Retract/Heasted Grip Electrical Connectors

[TahoeBound]

Wondering if anyone can confirm Eastern Beaver, 2P090K-SMHM sumitomo .090 connector is a direct fit for the windshield auto-retract and the heated grip connectors of an 08 Yamaha FJR1300? It sure looks the same, but I’d like to be sure before ordering. So far, I have been unable to confirm with Jim.

Sumitomo Connector

There is other info on the "Hitachi" .110, but that's not a match.

TIA

[Edit: apparently this connector is used in several places on the VStrom & we know the FJR likes VStrom stuff (eg. hand protectors)!]

Well, I can't resist. I previously wired the Honda grips into the Yamaha existing connector with the Rat Shack 7/64 (.110) single, female (I think). But the thought of having the Sumitomo connector & "factory wiring/look" is too much for me to resist. I've made the purchase and will report back.

Please keep us posted. If it works I will be making an order.

BINGO! That's the one (see link above). I now have my Honda heated grips attached "factory" to the Yamaha existing grip connector. That leaves an open "disabled auto-retract" plug for other stuff & now we can do that "factory" too. Jim @ Eastern Beaver has a great website - very detailed & he is responsive by email. If you purchase the connectors (apparently most of the connectors on the FJR are Sumitomo) in hindsight:

- Consider the recommended crimper tool. I used small needle nose and carefully did it just fine. However, since the blade slides into the connector very precisely, if you tweak the blade wrong it may not slide & lock well. May want to order a couple extra male/female "blades" in case you hose one (though connecting to the Yamaha grip I only needed one for the power source anyway, which left one extra).

- Review Jim's great crimping instructions: Crimping 101

- Has cool VStrom electrical stuff: VStrom Electrical

Thanks for the good research and info. Contributions like yours often go underappreciated amid the chaff.

Good Job! I am ordering up some bullet connectors for my Triumph too. Got to get ready for those winter projects.

Finally oem styled connectors. That Sumitomo site is what I've been looking for.

Ahem, FJR Admin, how about adding this to the Bin-O-Facts page.
