Re: Bibios "Gizmo" mini review & Novice install.
nice write up Mark.
yes i know i should make up fitting instructions but most people who buy the gizmo are members on the forum and the only way not to know is if you received one as a gift. i'll look into making up instructions.
about the wiring and rating. the relay is rated at a continuous 30amp which dictates the total amount of amperage that the unit can withstand. the main battery connections are rated at 33amp and each accessory tail pair is rated at 16.5amp.
so even changing the 3 supplied fuses to 10amp on each line takes it to the maximum continuous working amperage. all the wiring and indeed the relay are British made with the wiring being thin wall type specificity designed for vehicle wiring so more than likely can be pushed if need be.
a little more about the ratings, as long as the total amperage does not exceed 30 amp split by the three tails and no more than 15amp on any one tail all will be well. e.g. one line at 15amp then one line at 10amp then one line at 5amp totalling 30amp.
i was toying with the idea of changing the male connections to every day run of the mill insulated ones as you can use the easy to obtain pliers type crimper's pictured in your write up.
it has also recently come to light that the gizmo does not work with K3 bikes due to the rear brake light switch being different from all the rest. this is a simple fix in that the trigger wire just needs to be extended to fit the front side light connector and the MK3 will now be shipped with an extension.
i'm having a extended break from making things up so there will be no gizmos or indeed any products available for a few months. depending on how i feel at the time it might just be a closing down get them while you can.
