weewards Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hi, I am hoping to purchase a 2021 VFR 800F H next month & I will immediately be going on a mini tour & hope to fit a Quadlock system with charging device. so now to my question, I can see it has a USB port on the left hand side but dont know if it has an actual USB port, how many ports or is a car type cigar lighter port? googling for an answer simply shows me lots of people that have fitted after market USB ports on older models of the VFR.

Member Contributer Thumbs Posted September 26, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2023 OEM is no USB Theres a plug in power supply under the seat that I run my heated jacket through if you’re looking for an instant solution As you have a tour in mind I’d consider a new battery if it still has the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weewards Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Interesting, there is definitely a panel on the top of the left side panel that says 12V, I just do t know what is underneath… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted September 26, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2023 So, you are going to buy a VFR800X Crossrunner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weewards Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 No it’s a 21 plate VFR 800F-H model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted September 26, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2023 The only mention of a 12V 3A power socket I can find is on the X (2018+). Have you seen this F in person? Maybe somebody retrofitted one from the X. I believe it is a cigarette style socket, as I read mention of somebody trying to use a mini air compressor and blowing the fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weewards Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 I haven’t seen it in Person as yet but the pictures clearly show the flap shown in the picture and the description of the bike says includes a 12V power socket. it looks standard but as you say it might be a part from the cross runner as I can’t find it listed anywhere either. i will know for sure in a few days….

Member Contributer Skids Posted September 26, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2023 The 2018+ X definitely has a power supply on the top of the lhs fairing. It's a cigarette lighter socket, not a usb. No idea about the f-model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Presson Posted September 26, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2023 Here you go. This is the 8th Gen F-H model: it's a standard 12v socket. Actually not great for wet weather unless you can find some way to weatherproof the adaptor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted September 26, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2023 Cool! Not the best location for constant use, but could be nice for a charge while at a stop. Which I suppose isn't really nice cuz the bike's not on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFR78 Posted September 26, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2023 All Fs after 2016 had them. The explanation in the handbook doesn’t inspire confidence (attached). My Quadlock is wired directly to the battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Mohawk Posted September 27, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted September 27, 2023 If you meed a power tap & just for a phone then you can tap the cooling fan supply. Been running my 5th gen from there forever. Just use a inline fuse on the wire by the tap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, on the X, it's on a more vertical face than the F. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weewards Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 I have ended up ordering the Denali Power hub 2 as I expect to have a few accessories on the bike and got a good price. For what its worth the price quoted on sportsbikeshop.co.uk was £185.99 but discounted to £149 with free delivery, however I found it on mandp.co.uk for £109 also with free post, sportsbikeshop.co.uk will do a competitor price match also if you prefer to order from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
