Switched live

[black8]

Hi all,anyone know what colour the switched live under the tank is im fitting my hotgrips thanks.

Are you running the grips off a relay, or straight from the switched live? Not entirely sure what colour wires you have, but a bit of careful 'probing' with a multimeter or a simple bulb with a wire at each end can soonfind you one.

Got mine on a relay just to remove the high load from the switch wire. Easy enough to do. Let us know how you get on bud.

Hi there,was going to just use a switched live but your idea of the relay sounds better can you explain how you have done it and is it just 12v 30amp relay i need ? thanks mate.

I've wired them up both ways in the past, but the relay is the easiest on the loom and more efficient for the grips to get the current they need.
Quite easy to do. 30 amp 4 pin relay. One battery live, one switch live, one earth, and one feed to the grips power switch. The relay should show you the wiring diagram for which pin goes where. I used the rear light switch live on my fz1 to power the relay, but you can use any really. If you have any probs, just shout up and one of us on here will have a wiring diag for a relay.
Oh yeah, just make sure you have a few spare fuses before you start

Good luck!
