I own two homes, each have a 3-car garage. So I have six garages. I may even be able to squeeze one more bike in after the Experia to have an even dozen bikes.

Simple to change the dashboard USB to a 12V outlet. The USB ports have a 15A fuse, so plenty for any GPS. There‘s also a second 12V port behind the dash, left side, that has a JST 2-pole connector. I have used that one for my Garmin Zumo XT which sadly does no longer support the TPMS.
I had the Garmin Zumo 395 with TPMS on my Esse Esse. It was close to the calipers - but however it was okay. Don, you can ask your dealer to rotate the valve a bit so there is room for the TPMS cap. Experia has the same wheel configuration than SS9.
The photo shows the Hella plug for the double USB supply plus the mentioned JST connector for GPS. The cable is even labeled with GPS.
Page 103 of the owner's manual says the USB ports are good for 2 amps. That is more than enough to run the GPS. The Garmin 395 cable has a 12-5 volt DC2DCC on the cable that is only does 1.5 amps output at 5VDC.  The GPS cable is way too long on the 395 and so I chopped off the converter and now I have a Garmin 395 GPS with a very short USB cable that wants to see only 5 volts. I already tested it on the bike, it works perfectly. I just now need to solder and use heat sink tubing on the very short USB cable I made for my GPS power.


Then I will see how the tire sensors fit.

Great!


I have my GPS installed, wheel sensors and all. The Garmin 395LM Wheel sensors clear just fine and all. I am getting the power direct from the 5-volt USB port but I had to make a short cable and remove the 12-volt DC2DCC on the Garmin cable.


Next is to install the Bullet Brake. I have not yet ridden the bike. Too cold here today anyway. So this is a good time to set it up the way I want.

I have the BB installed, GPS with TPMS. Now there is nothing left to do but ride it!  I have not yet ridden it even an inch!


That will be tomorrow.

Wow, my first and only bike I've taken delivery on was before I had my Drivers License(only went for an M1 at the time since I can do that in CA) and I got on the FZ07 a month or two later, as soon as I finished the safety course. All other bikes I rode right off the lot! My plan is to take public transit to Livermore as soon as it's ready!

We have temps of 30C plus here in Brisbane ATM...So tomorrow, (Friday) will be the same...basically perfect riding weather..! I have a ~140km ride from the dealer to my home...so it'll be a good "baptism of fire"..

Wish me luck.
