IDOIT ALERT: I RODE MY GS OUT OF THE SHOWROOM IN 2022, NOT 2021 AS STATED IN VIDEO🙈
This is my handy hint and tip #8-2, in my playlist for my BMW R1250GS.
00:00 Introduction
01:10 Locating the switched live
02:34 What are we going to use, posi-tap
02:54 Accessing the switched live
05:43 How to use posi-taps
07:43 Finally
I AM NOT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL TECHNICIAN-YOU HAVE BEEN SUITABLY WARNED!!!!
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF IT GOES WRONG OR CAUSES PROBLEMS(BUT I'VE HAD NONE)
If you have got some new electrical toys/accesories for your BMWR1250GS (mine is Apri/May build 2021), then you may, unless you have a hex ezcan or Denali CANsmart, have to use a switched live to power those electrical devices.
In my case I use the switched live to activate my power distribution module from HealTech, the Thunder Box.
If you need a switched live and want to know where to find one and how to connect into it, then have no fear, I will show you how.
BUT if it ends in tears then don't blame me!!!!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE OR HOW TO CONNECT TO A SWITCHED LIVE FOR THE NEW R1300GS
