I need to run a handle bar mounted auxiliary power take off,to power my phone/satnav.
I presently have a fused one running direct from the battery, but having left the sat nav plugged in after a fortnight I ended up with a flat battery.
Would I be ok to tap into the switchable side of the ignition switch for my power take off? It would be fuse inline protected.
The bike is a 2017 euro3 classic c5.
After 50 years plus of motorcycling,I,m still learning,you cannot kick start a fuel injected bike with no battery power.

Have a poke around inside the headlight nacelle and find an ignition on switched wire and go from there

Hi Norm, that's what I was thinking,but I,ve now found a product called a piggyback fuse supply so I,m going down this route. I also managed to double post this query,I had a few responses on the other post. Thanks for your input.

Hi FM12, good to hear I'm not the only one to go into the garage at end of winter to find I have ruined a perfectly good battery by leaving my iPhone charger on.

Which fuse piggy back have you gone for?

Hi Rusky, I bought yet not arrived(I,m in France) this fuse take off from eBay, item number 180735526749.
There is some information on YouTube about these fuse power takeoffs.
