Guest Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Hi All,I have started accumulating a few gadgets here and there on my bike, i have recently got one of the inforad M1 speed camera detectors however it is recommended unlike my other gadgets that it isnt wired directly to the batter as it will drain it and as such needs to be connected inline with another loom or such else.I have been reading around and somewhere i saw that someone had wired in a relay switchable box so it could not only be switched on and oflf directly but also would engage and switch on with the ignition. Now i dont necessarily need something this detailed but just wondered if anyone uses switches what they have used.many thanks Quote
Stu Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I think a relay will be easier than a switch you can run a relay off something like the rear lights so it will only come on with the ignition unless you want the ability to turn it on and off as you ride along? Quote

Can anyone give me a really basics run through on how to do it? sorry to come across a little thick i am just no good with wiring Quote
Stu Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 this may help a little where the valet switch is this is where you would run the wire from the switched live ....rear lights etc http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/imagehosting/12527647e9129233622.bmp Quote
littlecat Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 did an inline switch for my heated grips... if they are wired directly from the battery theres a chance they will drain slowly... couldn't be arsed with figuring out how to wire them into an ignition relay... so just used a simple inline switch Quote
Guest Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I have just bought a simple rocker switch from eBay to use I want to sort out a better circuit at some point but I am riding down to Devon soon and don't have time to get it complete or take risks I mess something up rushing the process Quote
Guest Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 What this guy has done looks exactly what I need I just need the time to get parts and figure it out "> Quote
