When I am charging my phone or gps while im riding the plug inside the outlet works its way out from the vibrations. What is the best way to keep the plug from backing out?

Hard wire any accessories you will be using on a regular basis. Other than that, zip ties will work.

tweak the little ground prongs on your phone charger so they put more pressure on the inside of the accessory outlet

Swap it out for a powerlet style plug.

Keep the RPM at 5000 or more. This allows perfect harmonic agreement with all things electronic!

I had the same problem with my GPS on the sled this winter.

I just wrapped the plug with some electrical tape to get the diameter up a bit. And of course, cut out the area where the contacts needed to come through.

It only took 1-2 wraps and the overall diameter was up enough to keep it in all winter with no issues.

Good luck!
