plan an install Make sure that the motorcycle battery is fully charged. Verify that no moving parts will interfere with the components. Do not route wires near sharp edges which could cut wires and create a short. Do not mount components near high heat sources such as the exhaust pipes.
Select a suitable location under the seat or side cover that the module can lay as flat as possible. The Ride Core harness has three wires. You’ll need to connect these to your bike. Red: Install the terminal ring of this wire directly to the battery positive post.

White: Install this wire to a 12 volt switched source using the provided Quick Connector. For example: the tail light or license plate light power wire. Insert the hot wire in the slit of the smaller cap. Then, tighten onto the body of the connector. Remove the cap on the open end of the Quick Connector attached to the white wire of the installation harness.
tech tip RIDE requires proper installation of the switched power wire to function correctly. Switched power is hot when the ignition is on, cold when off. Common switched power sources are the tail light, (NOT the brake light), the license plate light, and some accessory plugs.
