Wiring help pls

Hi All

Got myself some Oxford Hot Hands, not wishing the cold to stop my fun, or my
fingers to drop off!

Has anyone out there wired these so they go off with the ignition. My
memory is not what it should be and instead of the cold spoiling my fun I am
sure a flat batery soon will.

Many thanks to you all who post usefull ideas.

Thanks again

p.s. the bike is a CBR600 if this makes a jot of difference.

 

yep, done that last week

Get a 4 pole relay and holder,

find an ignition controlled live that goes off when the ignition is off
(check it is not the fan live as that will normally stay on after the
ignition is off. Best one is to look for the lights feed.

Now, connect a wire to this by either solder and taping or by looking for a
spare crip connector on the fuse box. DO NOT USE A SCOTCH LOCK.

on the bottom of the relay, you will see 4 numbers next to the pins.
connect them like this

30 - to your battery + side
87 - to the positive of the grips
85 - to the wire you found earlier
86 and the negative of the grips to the battery - Side

Do not cut more than 25mm from the wires attached to the grips.. If you do
then there is a small chance the wiring will become the hot bit.

Or, if you are anywhere near redditch, drop me a mail

No, God is a She, Satan is a He, the nice young lady who posts here is a
bit confused.

 

I though God was a virus?

Been using 'em for years. No problems at all. Just put a little silicon
grease in before squeezing on.
Even had no problems using them on "off road" landy's when I was doing the
wiring on them when I had my Auto Elec Business.

Nice arse though.

 

Hi, I also owned, and still own an auto electric / Audio / towbar business
and although I agree they can be good there are a few places you should not
use them. One of these is in the installation of resistence dependant
accessories such as heated grips.

Also they are prone to failure on contact with water, so why take the risk.

Having seen the corrosion caused by them, not to mention the inceased
resistance they create when they cut into cable strands, I wouldn't ever
use them again.

Now I'm worried

 

AOL. I used to think they were the dog's bollocks, but now I avoid them
if at all possible.
