Please Read Before Installing
DENALI products should always be installed by a qualified motorcycle
technician. If you are unsure of your ability to properly install a product,
please have the product installed by your local motorcycle dealer. DENALI
takes no responsibility for damages caused by improper installation. Caution:
When installing electronics it is extremely important to pay close attention
to how wires are routed, especially when mounting products to the front
fender, front fork, or fairing of your motorcycle. Always be sure to turn the
handlebars fully left, fully right, and fully compress the suspension to
ensure the wires will not bind and have enough slack for your motorcycle to
operate properly.
Installation Tips
We strongly recommend using medium strength liquid thread locker on all screws
and bolts. It is also important to ensure that all hardware is tightened to
the proper torque specifications as listed in your owner’s manual. For
included accessory hardware please refer to the default torque specifications
provided below. Inspect all hardware after the first 30 miles to ensure that
proper torque specifications are maintained.
Bolt Size | in-lbs | ft-lbs | Nm |
---|---|---|---|
M3 | 10.0 in-lbs | – | 1.0 Nm |
M4 | 23.0 in-lbs | -2 | -2.5Nm |
M5 | 44.5 in-lbs | 3.5 ft-lbs | 5.0 Nm |
M6 | 78.0 in-lbs | 6.5 ft-lbs | 9.0 Nm |
M8 | – | 13.5 ft-lbs | 18.0 Nm |
M10 | – | 30.0 ft-lbs | 41.0 Nm |

Hardware Sizing Guide
Not sure what size bolt you have? Use this ruler to measure screws, bolts,
spacers, etc.
Remember, the length of a screw or bolt is measured from the start of the
“mounting surface” to the end of the screw, so only include the screw head
when measuring countersunk screws.

Device Overview
1.1 – Overview of Device
The DENALI CANsmart™ Controller provides plug-n-play installation and
integrated control of up to four accessories to enable dozens of customizable
settings that can be controlled right from the Vehicles Controller or the
CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software.
The four circuits are pre-programmed to connect and independently control two
sets of DENALI 2.0 lights, a SoundBomb horn, and our B6 auxiliary brake light.
However, our Circuit Function Selector in the CANsmart software will let you
run any accessory of your choice on any of the four circuits.
The illustration above depicts the preprogrammed default configuration, to see
all available circuit functions and settings please refer Section 6 or visit
our online user guide at: DENALIelectronics.com/cansmart-user-
guide

The two auxiliary light circuits enable independent adjustment of high and low
beam brightness right from the vehicle’s factory controls It also features a
“flash to pass” and “strobe when horn active” setting that will strobe the
auxiliary lights when you pulse your high beam switch or sound your horn.
The feature-rich brake light circuit will transform a simple 2-wire brake
light into a “smart brake light” complete with running light, multiple flash
patterns, and deceleration activated braking functionality.
The horn circuit enables the addition of an auxiliary horn without having to
add a relay and dedicated horn wiring harness.
