finally getting round to fixing my sh*t...

and havent bothered with the switch idea, going a different route and was after opinions

what im doing:

running wire from a switched 12v source directly to the headlight low beam which works, only going to run the 1 light.

problem:

noticed that it drains very quickly drops point 1 volt every 5-10 seconds or something. bike wasnt running though

question:

will running it this way whilst the engine is on and running drain the battery? when the bike is switched off, the source to the light is also off. i have not noticed any volts going through the source whilst switch is off but have a concern that i will drain/kill the battery this way...

any help appreciated!

cheers
