CBR 600F (2008) Accessory Wiring
Hi all,
I'm new to motorbiking (passed my big test last week). I've recently bought a CBR 600 F(2008) model and want to install a few accessories, heated grips, quad lock charger etc. I've read it's best not to do it direct to the battery as it will drain it if left on (I'm awful at remembering to turn things off), and I'd be better wiring into the ACC positive wire. I've been googling and researching but can't find where this is or the best place to access it.
This is what I've bought from Amazon and would like to install -
Any advice appreciated
Thanks,
Kirstie

Best to wire power supply directly to battery to prevent overpowering existing wiring.
Then connect relay’s activation line to ignition-switch key ON power. Then accessory power will only be active when bike is ON.

That's great thanks. How do I work out which cable that is. Ideally need it near the battery as the cables aren't too long.
Did kit come with instructions? post link or upload them to google drive and post sharing link here.
Usually battery & ground wires are thicker with ring-terminals to bolt onto battery. Turn-ON relay activation can connect to red/blk wire leaving ignition-switch to power fuse-box. Can tap into that wire anywhere along way.
