durite 0 728 02 relay wiring

Any idea what your ignition draws in the way of amperage? Alternatively, a timer device, search for Raw power might do it. Or even an existing R/S security device such as a Viper unit.

the ignition circuit draws no more than 15amps. i dont see how a timer could be used?

We're running around in circles here, the Viper 5204 is officially available in the UK, set to passive arming it will do all you need.

you are right, but it is far too expensive, designed for a car, not a motorcycle and the point of my exercise is to build my own system, not just buy one off the shelf. if that was my goal i would not have bothered posting on this site. i thought the whole idea of this site was to help out the DIY enthusiast, not to direct them to an off the shelf item. thankyou for all your help so far, i will persevere and complete this project myself. i will post up any further information in my other motorcycle thread.

Let me assure you that your journey has been started many times and you will probably realise what a waste of your time and money it's going to be. You will have no safeties. A modern R/S + alarm is about the size of two ciggie packets, easy enough to conceal in a dry storage section.

Yeah - center stand, neutral, timed off... PICAXE 08M2.

i have no centre stand, only a kick stand. the starter solenoid is grounded through the neutral light switch, so if the bike is not in neutral, the starter wont operate. why would it need to be timed off????

the remote system i am using is the same size as 1 cig packet, with a relay hidden elsewhere. it is not a waste of time and money. if they had sent me the correct relay in the first place it would be working and finished by now. when i resolve this with the seller and they send me the right relay all will be good, and all working as i want it to for less than £50GBP

Good luck etc. but are there any failsafes?

i have been away for a week but now i am back i have been in touch with Durite and now have the correct wiring for the relay. 30 is permanent battery negative. 56 is permanent battery positive. S is the switched 12v pulse from my R/C unit. 56a is permanent 12v output. 56b is switched 12v(latched) output. so the ignition circuit is wired to 56b i have not yet decided whether to use the permanent 12v from 56a yet or just blank it off for now with a "dummy" spade terminal
