Does the Rider come with a wiring harness that connects directly to the battery? What keeps the battery from running down when the bike is not in use?

Yes it does. The GPS will continue to draw power untill the internal battery is full. There is a quick release to remove the unit when stopped. If you leave it on your bike powered on for a long time it will either get stolen or kill your battery. Just remove when stopped and you will be fine.

Yes, it comes with a harness to connect to the bike. You hook it to an ignition supply and the Rider auto turns on when you turn the key or switch to on and prompts you for auto off when the ignition is turned off. If you do nothing, it goes off when the switch is turned off.

The Rider comes with a wiring harness. I ran mine under the gas tank and seat to the fuse box. I connected the red live wire to a fuse that is on when the key is turned on. The black is connected to the ground on the battery.

Yes, it comes with the wiring harness that connects directly to the battery and a lot more. Nothing stops it from running down your battery. You have to take the Rider off the mount if you are going to walk away from the bike for the day. Then connect it back on when you are going for a ride or your battery will be as dead as a door nail in just a few days. It's a small price to pay. That unit is wonderful.

Not really. You need to hook it up to auxiliary fused output. It does come with the cable hook up. Yes the battery goes dead

Yes, you will need to wire it so that it is powered from a switched power source, or you can wire it directly and just remember to turn the GPS off when the bike is off. I actually grafted a power plug onto the end and plug the GPS into my power socket on the dash.

The wiring harness supplied with the tom-tom does go directly to the battery. I simply unplug the charging station so the battery doesn't go dead.

Is operates simply ... If wired directly to your bike, you should connect it in the proper fashion using a relay so that the connection to the GPS turns on and off with the bike. The GPS senses the current (of lack thereof) and behaves accordingly. When it detects current, it turns on. When the current goes away, it asks you if you want it to remain on (using its internal battery). If you say yes, it will stay on. If you select NO or just ignore it, it will turn itself off. If you just wire it directly to your battery (unswitched), it wont know when the bike is on of off and wont power on or off as a result. And it would drain your battery .. Is operates simply ...

I have a Yamaha vstar 1100 silverado. I wired the unit directly to the fuse box. The unit is powered only when the ignition is turned on so there is no battery drain. It's a nice unit, easy to use and easy to update the maps.

Because they expect you to use batteries and the adapter is not included in the package. It was about $20 to buy it separately--which I did and it works fantastically well. You will, however, have to locate the bike very close to an electrical outlet.

I have had one of these wired onto my bike for several months and have not had a problem with it draining my battery. But I also keep all my bikes on battery tenders.

There's an source and a load. Connect the battery to the source, connect the load (probably speed controller) to the load just as if you were connecting it to the battery. That's it. No wiring diagram needed, these things are pretty standard. Make sure you don't swap the black and red wires.

I did this for my bike, Took 2 9 V batteries and strapped them on. I modified the wires so that they correspond with the batteries

yes it does and it even has a 75 amp fuse attached in line. the leads with the bolt holes makes it convenient to use as the can be left on the bike so you don't have to remove battery cover. used this on a battery that according to my walmart $20.00 charger said to replace. i hooked the Pulse tech to it went to work and when i came home, was all good, full charge. so far it does what it says.

It comes with a connector that plugs into the back of the unit. The other end of the wire harness is just open wire. Thus connects to the vehicle. Some vehicles come with an open wire connection that this harness would attach to.

Can't tell you, because I haven't received the wiring harness they were suppose to send me for the batteries to put in the scooter.I ordered them January 31 and still ain't got the harness. They said they would send it to me, still waiting.

Comes with installation instructions but not a wiring harness. I wired the power myself and the dealer hooked to motor when I has that mounted.

The charger comes with a quick connect/dis-connect lead. You connect the shorter section to you battery and route the lead down any where you want to keep it. That's a one time deal; you just leave it on if you want to keep the battery in the bike, and plug in the "trickle charger" from time to time. I pretty much plug mine in anytime I'm not riding (you cannot over charge by leaving it on.

It is the battery bay in case you do not have the plug-in adapter. Also, you can access the manual online: http://www.manualowl.com/m/Schwinn/A10-Upright-Bike/Manual/351993

That depends on the wiring that comes with your battery tender. I'm not sure what the end of the battery tender looks like. The Venture harness attaches to the battery with two eyelets. The battery terminals have a hole in them that you run a bolt through to hold the bike's cables in place. For the Venture harness, you just attach it the same way. Then there is a second harness which plugs into the end of the battery harness, and splits to go to each glove. It looks kind of like an RCA audio jack on both ends. Sorry I can't be much more help, but trust me, the Venture harness is easy to install.

1. You can use batteries ..having to unscrew and screw the cover back on when u need to change the battery is a hassle. 2. I would purchase with the bike. Hope I answered your questions.

It does come with harness already connected and you merely run 2 wires direct to battery as I did or other source.There is a cable that comes out of vamp about 3 ft long u can attach direct to mp3 or phone that may be aux I just do not remember.I almost always used SD card.Do not hesitate to go with mc400 which is same unit minus radio and has a volume control u could mount right on handlebar that would be easily operated.Reminder u can only use sd cards that are not high capacity(sdhc).U can read operator manual at Boss Audio site.

It's on the top of the battery, look at the front of the center raised portion and there is a white rectangle plug / piece of plastic covering the plug insert socket. It is designed to snap back in when not in use to keep the weather and crud out of the port. The wiring harness from the charger can only fit one direction, there are raised ridges on the plug that fit in matching slots. I have a harness attached to both my wife's and my Busa's. She only gets to ride every now and then and the GPS tracking systems we have, take a small draw from the battery and after a couple months, I would get a page from it telling me the battery is low. With this trickle charge that fixed that issue. I ride to work most days, so I don't have the same issue, but put the charger harness on, in the event I didn't get to ride as often.

There are 2 batteries in the bike. The panel is powered by a simple 9 volt battery. The rechargeable battery shown here provides the resistance for the wheel. However, if this battery runs down, the panel will not light. I would suggest trying to replace the 9 volt battery first since they are cheap. If that doesn't work and especially if there is little or no resistance when you start pedaling, then you may need to replace this one.
