    I have a immobilizer/alarm/remote start fitted to my Typhoon 125.
    It was pretty much plug and play once you figure out what the hell each wire is actually for (instructions were poor and not translated too well at all)
    I had a problem where I press the button on remote to start the bike but the starter kept spinning even when the bike was running, this was sorted by adding a 3 pin relay into the mix.

    So problem 1 sorted.
    The next problem is the lights would not work at all if it was started by remote (including brake lights) but if they key was put in and turned to on, then the lights are turned on (obviously lights are run by battery)

    (guessing Minor would be the best bet here) What I was hoping someone may be able to help with is if there is a wire that has a small charge running through it (enough to switch a second relay and only when the bike is running) which i can connect up so when the bike is running, the relay is switched and that relay will then turn the lights on. (this is basically set up but I need to know if there's a wire i can use and which wire is it?) Once this is sorted i can use the remote start without having to stick a key in just for the lights. :beg:

    Bit of an essay but thought it best to give a full picture :D
    Cheers in advance

    It is wired up right, everything on the alarm is working, alarm turns on and off, can remote start and stop the bike just a need a way for the alarm to turn on the lights basically.

    Yes mate. you turn the key on and the lights can be turned on and off by the switch regardless of the bike running or not. so the lights must run off the battery through the ignition switch.

    But when the bike is started by remote the ignition switch is still in the off position so the lights dont come on. so atm the only way to get the lights on is to put the key in, kinda defeats the object of using remote start cause you still need a key til i can figure it out.
