The ignition switch is not near the battery on the DT300i or any other bike that I know of. But the fat red wire from the + post on the battery goes to the starter relay then a smaller red wire goes to the 30 amp fuse on the fuse block above battery. Then from the other side of the fuse is that red wire with white stripe that goes to the ignition switch. That do it for ya?

Post by: stuo on December 06, 2019, 05:31:39 AM: Terminology: "opening" a switch disconnects it from power; closing it turns the power on. I think you mean turning the ignition switch to the "on" position, yes?
