Coil Relay Mod: Power Source

[Munzo]

So I am working on finishing up the coil mod I just had one question. I ran the power source via a new line to from the positive battery terminal, with an inline fuse. Which means this wire will always be hot whether the bike is on or not, right? Will this drain my battery?

If the positive battery cable is attached to the battery (which means its hot), does the battery go dead?

Unless you leave the key on or there is a parasitic drain on your battery your battery should not go dead. Most any battery will loose charge if it sits long enough but you should be fine.

Yes.

No.


If you need details:

Yes, it will be constantly "hot".

No, it will not drain the battery, as long as the relay is not triggered.
If it relay is triggered by your stock coil wire, that will not be a problem.

Will this drain my battery?

Nope. It does nothing until the relay is energized. The wire that supplies voltage to the coil of the relay (the orig coil wire) is a switched wire.

Thanks guys! Just wanted to double check that I had this wired properly before I closed everything back up.
