Can you hook up a power relay to a bike?
While monkeying with the bikes electrical system can sound daunting at first, it’s actually quite, almost alarmingly, simple. Besides, hooking up this relay/distribution system alleviates the need to really touch any part of your beloved bikes electrical system beyond the battery and one additional wire.
What happens when you turn off the ignition relay?
This can cause the connection area inside the relay to become too small – which will cause the ignition to shut off and on super fast.

How does the automatic shutdown ( ASD ) relay work?
Consequently, The (PCM) operates the automatic shutdown (ASD) relay, by switching its ground circuit ON and OFF. The (ASD) relay will be shut-down; meaning the 12-volt power supply to the (ASD) relay will be deactivated by the (PCM); if the ignition key is left in the ON position.
How does a turn signal Flasher relay work?
Built-in electronic beeper sounds when the turn signals are blinking. 2.8mm male terminals for white wiring connectors. Turn signal flasher relay for 48 Volt electric scooters, mopeds, bicycles, and pocket bikes. Works with both incandescent and LED bulbs.
