Where can I plug into the ignition circuit?

Hi all,
I'm planing to fit heated grips and a cigarette lighter socket (GPS). I don't want to wire them straight to the battery so I was thinking about wiring an extra relay and plug that into the ignition circuit so that they automatically switch off when I take the key out.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Dyzio

Seem to remember I picked up a switched power feed from the fuse box on the RHS of the front fairing. I must have some info somewhere. If I find it, I'll let you know.

Hi there just wondered if you found this - just about to wire in some hot grips and this could help!

Sure Andy will come up with a quick answer, so can I just say welcome to the site Chris.

I replied to the PM .... but I can't remember exactly where I took the feed from - I'll have to take a look.

Sorry

OK - I've investigated - I've found out where I took the power feed from - I've taken some pictures - I've drawn some circuit diagrams .... but I'm too knackered to post it all up now ..... so information to be revealed tomorrow.

oh oh I know this one

I have a little box

It's tucked under the nearside side panel. 3 or 4 terminals are wired and fused to battery via a solenoid which is attached to tail light circuit so the power comes on and off with key. To this I have heated grips, and Autocom. 2 more terminals are wired and fused direct to battery for Cig lighter (under seat cowl) and Zumo sat nav.

Sorry it's taken so long but there's now a "sticky" containing a description of this in the Aprilia Technical section (above):
