T8Hants Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 On my MV's, I always fit a battery isolation switch, so I was just wondering if the same thing is done on military motorcycles and if so what sort of component and how best to hide it, if needed.

Ron Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Well as a theft proof device, it's pretty useless. I've never heard of anyone bothering to fit one to a bike. Just a fuse in the Poss cable. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T8Hants Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Ok, I wasn't thinking so much of theft, more battery drain and inadvertent short-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cull Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I've fitted little 10A blade fuses in all our G3l's,they don't seem to suffer any battery drain but I like the fuse being there in case of a direct short. Some people don't think they should be fitted,but things get very hot very quickly and with an open carb mouth it wouldn't take much...
