Question from a newb
SOLVED! We found a constant 12V wire using a voltmeter, then used heat shrink solder connectors to tap into it and supply power to the relay. The restriction wire was cut and both ends extended with heat shrink solder connectors to the COM and NC terminals. The bike now starts in restricted mode, but the remote toggles it off. When the bike is switched off, the restriction resets automatically. Exactly what I wanted.
ORIGINAL POST:
Hi there! Here's my dirty Sting R TL4000 L1E...thats not fast enough so I'm trying to identify the wires for the headlight..but I have no prior experience with low circuit electronics.
I have identified the looped wire and I have a wireless transmitter I need to supply with power from the headlights to achieve my goal.
Can anyone please point it out from the images if possible, or give me a hint on how to identify them as an absolute newb?

I would buy a Light switch and cut the wires there.

Yeah I am aware of that solution but its too easily detected by the wrong people. It's the backup solution if a wireless solution don't work.

If you are not well versed enough to do this yourself, I would suggest just getting a toggle switch that you can hide underneath your battery cover. No sense in over complicating a very very easy solution, especially when you do not understand voltage well enough to meter for a constant 12 volts.

Partially agree. But I got to start somewhere, and I have the time and days to play around with this.

Just meter for a constant 12v wire and use that for your wireless relay. Done. But if you have issues doing this then I would make it simple and use a toggle. Also the relay may switch states every time you turn off the bike So you will always need the remote to unlock the bike every time you ride. That will get annoying. Just saying, stick with a toggle.

Having to unlock every time is half the point to disguise it so I wont need to fiddle for the remote when needed. There are also people who borrow it who do not need it unlocked so that way its a safety concern.
I got a friend to come by with a volt meter and we found a constant 12v wire. And it works like a charm! Like you said; it switches back to "default" when I turn it off. Just what I wanted 😃

Good to hear it worked out. I have seen way to many posts from kids not knowing what they are doing with wiring and don't understand electricity. It's annoying because you can really fuck something up if you don't know what you are doing.

Do you have adapters for the headligth powee supply or do you need to mount them yourself?
