Yamaha Tracer dash relay mount by PeterLindquist

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

Created for my 2019 Yamaha Tracer GT. This allows an easy and secure installation of a 12v relay (or other similar gadget) under/behind the dash. This location is shielded from the elements as well as you can achieve on a motorcycle and is about the safest place to stash electronic bits aside from under the seat (which is limited at best).
Parts list:
(1) 30a 12v relay w/mount bracket
(3) M5 stainless nuts
(1) M5x16 stainless bolt
(1) M5x25 stainless bolt
(1) set of two pieces printed mount plates (ABS or PETG recommended @ 50% infill)
First, insert two nuts into the recesses in the #1 mount plate. On the FLAT face of that plate, attach the relay mount using the 5x25mm bolt and tighten securely. (You are presumed to have all your wiring connections/terminations in place already) Fit this plate into the Yamaha dash bracket from the INSIDE, with the bolt facing outward. Slip plate #2 over the exposed bolt and loosely attach the remaining nut onto the bolt, this will hold all pieces in place while you: Insert the 5x16mm bolt through the OUTSIDE plate and tighten. Now using an 8mm wrench. go back and tighten the nut on bolt #1. I used a drop of light thread sealer on both bolts just to insure everything stays in place until I say different! Attach relay to base, confirm power outlets are wired properly, insert fuse to power everything and turn on your key. Congrats!
