Quandary

Thanks so much for your useful answer. I'd never noticed that "socket before! However I think I'll keep things simple.

It is, indeed, a Zumo 660 and I've got it wired up to the battery with the lead neatly tucked away under the panelling on the left hand side of the bike. The cradle is mounted on the handle bars near the clutch and when I clip the Zumo into the mount it comes on.

My only to concerns were:
1. It would drain power from the battery when it wasn't clipped in. But as you say, there is no circuit so no draw on power.

2. It will drain power when the Zumo is connected but turned off. But actually it won't be in that state for long anyway. I don't have a lockable cradle so whenever the Zumo is on the bike it will turned on and when I turn it off I'll unclip it.

I've had it a few days now and the battery seems fine.

As the Optional Accessory Socket is so close to the Zumo cradle presumably if I wanted to do it this way (which I don't but just out of interest) I'd have to cut the lead that comes connected to the Zumo as it is to long. Is there a socket on the Optional Accessory Socket to plug into or is it a matter of connecting wires.

please don't worry about answering thse questions - I'm just talking outloud.

Thanks for your help - I'm fairly confident that I've got is set up OK.
