[QUOTE="BobOdenweller, post: 666131, member: 15870"] I would like to add a beeper that would sound when the ignition switch is on and the kill switch is activated. On several occasions I have killed my battery by using the kill switch to shut off the engine and forgetting to turn off the ignition switch. I've tried to train myself to use the key to shut off the bike but I just can't seem to get into that habit especially since it is behind my GPS. It would seem to be pretty easy to make a reminder beeper but I thought I would run it by the experts first. My idea is to have the beeper run off a switched ignition source but have a relay that is controlled by the kill switch so that the beeper only gets power when the kill switch is activated. Can anyone tell me how the kill switch works? Does the wire coming from the kill switch normally have 12v when the bike is running or is it the other way around? This would tell me if I need a normally open or normally closed relay. I found lots of beepers/buzzers on the allelectronics.com website. Hard to know which ones will be too obnoxious. Anyone have suggestions for a good one that is not too loud? A chime type device would be ideal. Does this idea already exist somewhere as an "off the shelf" product? [/QUOTE]
