wiring in spots etc. HELP

[33sport]

Hi All I have a monster 1200, and need some info on where to find a ignition switched live to run a relay for my spots and other add ons.

Spots? Spot lights?

Don't they go on GS1200's?

[Nottsbiker]

Sounds like the start of another Monster off-roader! :)

Isn't the electrical system on a 1200 canbus?

Not too much up on them but I thought adding a load to an existing circuit caused problems.

I'd do some research before cutting and splicing in, I may well be wrong but it would be wise to do some research before frying the electrics.

yes they have a can bus system that's why I have asked the question first before attacking the electrics.
Hopefully someone will have the info.

spots. yes going to do a bit of touring.

Probably quite good for reducing SMIDSY effect too

[33sport]

well thanks for the help guys !
one stupid answer and one even more stupid answer!?

There aren't that many 1200 owners here and I suspect that very few (if any) have attacked the electrics. Personally my first port of call would be a Ducati dealer. Even if they don't know (they should) they have the ability to find out directly from Ducati.

J.P has an 821 and if he hasn't wired in 30 odd 'extras' yet, I'll eat my Arai ;-)

surely the circuit will have an accessories circuit or spare circuits ,, most canbus systems do

[33sport]

yes there is a spare but this is being used for the Dataalarm system
