Hi all,
First post here. New to the berg, a recently purchased fully dualsported 2005 FE550e. Can't wait to get riding!
Although, really uncomfortable not having a key. So I am planning on wiring a key switch and a relay to disable starting and all electrics on the bike. See wiring diagrams below, with added key switch and relay. In either setup the key disables battery power to the bike and disables the CDI (so that it can't be kick started). I like the idea of using a relay so that I am not running high power through the key switch. Also thinking of installing heated grips and possibly a heated vest.
I just picked up the 30amp double pole double throw (DPDT) relay and am going to give that setup a try. I am reasonably comfortable with electrics but the berg is new to me. I haven't started wiring this in yet. Anyone more experienced see any reason why either schematics wouldn't work? Suggested improvements?
All comment welcome! Thanks.
