Making your accessory wires 'switched': Difference between revisions

Line 64:

If, for some reason, the horn is held on for more than 30 seconds, you may run the risk of heating up the wire (which should blow the fuse). While this is highly unlikely, it is possible. Just keep this in mind if you ever feel like playing Jingle Bells on your Ninja - try not to hold that one high note too long. Holding the horn for 10 seconds is no big deal at all. By no means should you be afraid of using the horn; just use some common sense.

The obvious limitations of this method are with something that needs more electricity, as this does not provide a relay as ~~does~~ a fuse box. But this is not really necessary unless you need over 10 amps of power, which most never will. This method will only work on a bike with an "always-hot" horn. Other models will need to find another power source.
