... seeks reassurance from virtual technician

I'm trying to set up my scooter (TMax) so I can use my Zumo 550 on both it and the GS; so I've got all the physical mounts and a new (fused) Zumo power lead, all I need to do now is wire it up !

The battery is under the rear seat hump and there is no easy way to run the power cable directly to it, and even if I could this doesn't supply a 'Switched Live' which is desirable, so I've looked for another power source.

The scoot has front running lights that are permanently on with the ignition, so I've taken out (unplugged) a section of the harness close to the bulb holder and soldered in the Zumo leads without cutting the harness.

I checked a wiring diagram before making the joints to make sure the fused Zumo lead is on the power side of the harness. On replacement the lights still function so I haven't buggered the lead

Before I go ahead and plug in the Zumo, can anyone forsee any problems drawing electrical power for it from a lighting circuit ?

wont cause you any problems mate.

the zumo draws bugger all power and the tmaxs wiring isnt that picky. Isnt your tmax a brand new one though?

If so, be careful about warranty work. They "could" throw an arse.

Thanks ...

... for the reassurance re the wiring job; my Tmax is an '06 so no warranty issues
