I have a new Trophy I got the dealership to fit my zumo 660 to it they told me there is no switched live to wire it to so the put it on to the battery I find it hard to believe that triumph have designed a bike gone to the bother of getting a mount to sell as a extra and not put a switched live to connect it to Personally I think the dealership have taken the easy route any views on this
Bullshitters! There must be a switched live somewhere otherwise your bike would start without the ignition being on..... Surely? :wink:
Welcome... Have a look under the seat. There may be a plug with 2 looped wires in it. This Is the alarm connection plug. There is a switched live there you can use. That's where I got mine from and then ran the cables to the front.
Yes that is correct But you have to take into account the load of the item or items you are adding , cable size and fuse rating... Seen many badly wired stereos with undersized cabling heating the car up... I know we are talking bike here but just make sure the switched live you are using can handle the extra load.
Thanks folks will have a look tomorrow the dealership are taking the mick I think I thought there should be a live behind the clocks on my old bike (A BMW k1200 ) had a plug cable tied to the bottom of the battery box
