ZumaLights and Stebel Nautilus Install
This afternoon I cracked open the 2009 Yamaha Zuma 125 and did the ZumaLights wiring harness install to have both headlights on at the same time. From the factory the Z125 has on light on for dim and and one light on for bright. It looks stupid to me. I could foresee a Memphis Police Officer pulling me over for having a headlight out.
While I had the front legshield off I decided to install a Stebel Nautilus air horn. Loud horns save lives. I hope.
The instructions that came with the ZumaLights wiring harness were excellent. They informed me which tool to use with each step. Then I just had to unsnap the factory harness with the ZumaLights harness. A very simple modification.
The Stebel horn install was another deal. The instructions I received were photocopied on a copy machine that needed service. Also, the second page was missing. I am familiar with a standard auto relay with 86,86,30, and 85 blade poles so I knew where to put which wires, where.
I removed the little roadrunner beep-beep horn and attached its leads to 86 and 87. then I had to run a power wire from the battery to blade 30 through an in line fuse. As luck would have it, there is a square hole under the scooter skid plate . I pushed the wire through a channel up to the horn relay then I was able to push the other end back under the battery compartment. The pictures tell the story better. Then I had to find a good ground and connect it to the negative side of the horn. Then a wire goes from 85 to the positive side of the horn.
The horn is air powered, two tones (high and low), and big. I had to bend some relay mounts out of the way and wedge it behind a strut that the front of the legshield mounts to. I used electrical wire ties to hold it in place. That is not an optimal solution but it seems to work. Re assembly of the front panel was a snap. I left the awkward looking bar that goes around the headlights off. I think it makes for a cleaner look.
