Installation report by Rainer L.
Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin – year of manufacture 2020
This is how Rainer L. solved the installation – unfortunately we cannot guarantee that it works correctly, as we were not able to check the installation ourselves.
Oil reservoir 60 ml
Under the plastic cover on the left, fixed to the frame with a rubber-lined clamp, 35 mm diameter (DIN 3016, form D1). At the fixing point on the frame, the web of the plastic part has to be milled away (with a Dremel, for example). The optional variable reservoir vent was fitted in addition.
Metering valve
A bracket is made from anodised aluminium profile 20 x 2 mm (available in almost any DIY store) and bolted to the frame. The BEROTEC valve bracket is bent to shape so that the valve stands upright once fitted.
Nozzle
An aluminium profile is fitted behind the rear sprocket guard (using longer bolts with nuts) and the nozzle secured with a clamp.
Switched 12 V supply
Tapped at the accessory connector (to the left of the fuse box). For the pin assignment see Reiner’s installation suggestion.
Rain switch
Attached to the clamp of the clutch lever assembly. Cable routed with a pull wire (I use a bicycle bowden cable outer for this).
Control unit
Under the seat
