Step 1

Read the generic HEX ezCAN PURE Installation Guide

The generic HEX ezCAN PURE installation guide contains all the general procedures you need to install a HEX ezCAN PURE on your Kove 800X.

If you are planning to install an optional HEX plug-&-play input harness instead of the generic input harness included with the HEX ezCAN PURE, read the instructions below in conjunction with the generic HEX ezCAN PURE installation guide.

Step 2

Expose the Needed Connection Points

IMPORTANT: All disassembly and reassembly instructions on this page are to be regarded as a guide only. For detailed instructions, refer to your motorcycle’s service or workshop manual as appropriate.

Make sure all signal input connection points are easily accessible by doing the steps that follow:

  1. Remove the seat.
  2. Remove the trim panel forward of the fuel filler cap (left).
  3. Remove the left-side and right-side upper crash bars (red arrow, right).
  4. Remove the left-side and right-side fairing panels forward of the fuel tank (green arrow, right).
  5. Disconnect the 2-pin JWPF connectors connecting the left and right front turn signals to the motorcycle’s wiring harness.
    • The battery is located under the left-side fairing panel.
  1. The wiring harness connector for the tail light is located under the rear portion of the seat, to the right of the engine ECU (red arrow, left).
      • The wiring harness connector for the tail light is a white, 3-pin JWPF connector.
      • The 4-pin JWPF connector is not used for optional plug-&-play harness installation.
  1. The white 4-pin headlight connector is located under the left-side fairing panel (red arrow, right).
  1. The wiring harness connector for the tail light is located under the rear portion of the seat, to the right of the engine ECU (red arrow, right).
      • The wiring harness connector for the tail light is a white, 3-pin JWPF connector.
      • The 4-pin JWPF connector is not used for optional plug-&-play harness installation.
  1. The white 4-pin headlight connector is located under the left-side fairing panel (red arrow, below).
  1. The horn is located on the front right side of the engine, below the radiator (red arrow, below).

Step 3

Decide the HEX ezCAN's Location

When installing a HEX ezCAN PURE on Kove 800X models, there are two recommended installation points for the HEX ezCAN device:

  • Underneath the trim panel forward of the fuel filler cap.
  • Underneath the left-side fairing panel, in the vicinity of the battery.


Our experience has shown that either of these placements give the best combination of input connector placement, battery cable slack, ease of access to the USB port and status LED, and protection from damage.

Step 4

Connect the Optional Plug & Play Input Harness to the HEX ezCAN PURE

Connect the 6-pin male JWPF connector on the optional plug & play input harness to the HEX ezCAN PURE’s 6-pin female JWPF connector (below).

Step 5

Connect the Optional Plug & Play Harness to the Motorcycle

First, switch OFF the motorcycle’s ignition switch.

Next, connect the input connectors on the Plug & play harness to the motorcycle as follows:

HIGH BEAM splitter (right):

  1. Disconnect the motorcycle’s male and female 4-pin headlight connectors located under the left-side front fairing panel.
  2. Connect the female connector on the HEX high-beam splitter to the male wiring harness plug on the motorcycle.
  3. Connect the male connector on the HEX high-beam splitter to the female wiring harness plug on the motorcycle.
  4. Carefully route the blue trigger wire back to the HEX ezCAN PURE along existing wiring harness runs and frame tubes.

TAIL LIGHT splitter (left):

  1. Connect the male single-pin connector on the HEX ezCAN tail light splitter to the female tail light trigger connector (red wire) on the optional plug-&-play wiring harness.
  2. Disconnect the motorcycle’s 3-pin JWPF connectors located under the rear portion of the seat, to the right of the engine ECU.
  3. Connect the female JWPF connector on the tail light splitter to the male JWPF wiring harness plug on the motorcycle.
  4. Connect the male JWPF connector on the tail light splitter to the female JWPF wiring harness plug on the motorcycle.
  5. Carefully route the sheathed red trigger wire back to the HEX ezCAN PURE along existing wiring harness runs and frame tubes.

TURN SIGNAL splitters:

Connect and route the turn signal splitter wires as follows:

  1. Connect the optional plug-&-play harness’ JWPF turn signal splitter with black wire between the JWPF connectors for the left front turn signal.
  2. Connect the optional plug-&-play harness’ JWPF turn signal splitter with brown wire between the JWPF connectors for the right front turn signal.
  3. Carefully route the turn signal trigger wires back to the HEX ezCAN PURE along existing wiring harness runs and frame tubes.

HORN splitter:

  1. Connect the male single-pin connector on the green horn trigger wire (red arrow, below) to the female horn trigger connector on the main plug-&-play input harness.
  1. Remove the spade terminal with red wire from the factory horn (below).
  1. Connect the horn splitter’s male+female spade terminal to the exposed male terminal on the horn (below).
  1. Connect the disconnected female spade terminal to the exposed male terminal on the horn splitter (below).
  1. Carefully route the horn splitter wire back to the HEX ezCAN PURE along existing wiring harness runs and frame tubes.

Step 6

Set the Input Inversion and Threshold Voltage Values

To ensure that the HEX ezCAN PURE gives peak performance, adjust its control inputs as follows:

  1. Set the input inversion settings and threshold voltage values as seen in Step 2C of the HEX ezCAN PURE Software Download & Configuration Guide.
  2. If the threshold voltage values given in the page above do not give consistent performance, adjust the values as shown in the Additional configuration settings for HEX ezCAN PURE section of the HEX ezCAN User Manual (download the manual from here).

Step 7

Continue the Installation

Continue the HEX ezCAN PURE installation from step 8 of the HEX ezCAN PURE installation guide.
