I need to buy a tyre pump and am a bit useless at this, so could anyone confirm if the item below would run from the DIN accessory port under the pillion seat (950s Multi) please? https://www.amazon.co.uk/AirMan-Tou...ocphy=1006884&hvtargid=pla-592969577684&psc=1 Alternatively, I would go for a 'direct to battery' type pump, but wanted to check if the plug at the rear is any use before I do
Looks like you need to specify DIN but no biggy if it comes with a car cigarette lighter plug as adaptors are available. Biggest issue is your bike DIN socket will not have a 10A fuse, more like 3A or 5A so you need to change it. Again, no biggy, I did the same on mine. Andy
The Customer questions and answer section for the Amazon listing lists several cases where the current draw exceeds a motorcycle's accessory plug rating and blows its fuse. The pump's current rating is 10 amps compared to the Ducati accessory plug rating of 7.5 amps. I advise against replacing the accessory plug fuse with a higher rating. The rating for the whole circuit is 7.5 amps. If you plan to carry it onboard as a precaution against a flat on a trip, you need to wire it direct to the battery with an in-line 10+ amp fuse and a quick-disconnect pigtail.
Thanks both. I think it's safer to go for a direct to battery unit, such as this one... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016MA2KHC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A13AFLK0ZMZB8W&psc=1 I hope to have few punctures (!), so no need in my opinion for a permanent battery connection, with the crocodile clips included.
Yes, I have used that one, connected directly to the battery through a battery charger pigtail and it blew the pigtail in-line fuse fitted. I shoukd have checked it. The pump also rattled itself to pieces after about 10 minutes use. I "borrowed" the VAG pump from my SEAT and it has been faultless. Andy
I have one like this … it has an Sae connection so it just plugs into the Battery tender lead https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20102210...hDKhtpySQG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Thanks. I have the battery tender lead attached, so that has to be a good shout and reasonably priced too.
I've just bought one of these. It's the size of a drinks bottle for a push bike. Combined pump, torch and power bank. Recharges from a usb port which will be under your passenger seat. Used once to blow up the car tyre. Worked fine. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ring-Autom...6&hvtargid=pla-1298663975757&psc=1&th=1&psc=1
