"I'm hopeless when it comes to mechanics!" — Discover why installing Motoplay is easier than assembling IKEA furniture.
Share
When we buy accessories for our motorcycle, there's always a silent fear: "Will I be able to install this, or will it just sit in a box in the garage until I have the courage to go to the mechanic?"
It's a legitimate fear. Many accessories require disassembling the tank, cutting original wiring harnesses, or drilling holes in the fairings. And nobody wants to do that, especially on a new or cherished motorcycle.
The good news? Motoplay was designed with the "DIY" ( Do It Yourself ) philosophy in mind. We want you to spend time on the road, not in the garage studying complicated manuals.
Here are 3 reasons why installing Motoplay is within anyone's reach:
1. The fastening system is universal (really!)
It doesn't matter if you have a BMW GS with wide handlebars, an urban Vespa, or a sporty Honda CBR. The Motoplay kit comes ready to adapt.
-
Tubular Handlebars: Our support arm fits virtually any handlebar thickness.
-
Mirrors: If you don't have enough space on the handlebars (common on scooters), the kit includes adapters to attach them to the base of the rearview mirror.
-
360° Adjustment: The ball system allows you to rotate and tilt the screen to the perfect angle, ensuring it doesn't cover your original instrument panel.
2. Electricity without "DIY" Dangerous
The most daunting part is the electricity. Nobody wants to cut wires and risk a short circuit or void the manufacturer's warranty. Motoplay offers two power options, and one of them is as simple as plugging in a charger:
-
Option A (The Easiest - Plug & Play): Motoplay can be connected directly to a USB port on your motorcycle (if you have one). Simply connect the included USB-C cable and you're ready to go. The system turns on and off with the motorcycle. Zero tools required.
-
Option B (Clean Installation): Do you prefer to leave the USB port free? The included power cable connects easily to the battery terminals (+ and -). You only need a simple screwdriver. The cable is discreet and easy to hide under the tank or side fairings.
3. Does not affect the motorcycle warranty.
This is a frequently asked question. Since Motoplay is an external and non-intrusive system (you don't cut cables or alter the ECU), the installation is 100% reversible . If you need to take the motorcycle for servicing at the dealership or if you want to sell it in its original condition, you can remove the entire system in minutes without leaving any trace that it was there.
Conclusion: Stop procrastinating.
Don't let the fear of installation stop you from having the best navigation technology. If you know how to tighten a screw and connect a USB cable, you have all the necessary qualifications to install Motoplay.
