johnlt Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I know that you must disconnect the battery from the bike if you do any arc welding on the frame of a CAN-bus bike but I assume "soldering" is not a problem but thought I'd check the combined wisdom of the board. I want to solder my connections into the switched power from the parking light and I read in one post that I should disconnect the soldering iron just before soldering but it seems to me that it should not be a problem because no current is flowing through the solder interface. Is this right? Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 can't comment on arc welding, I soldered to the switched power on the diagnotic plug no problema... chris Link to comment
Ken H. Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I've soldered 1/2 dozen connections to the factory wiring on our CAN-BUS R1200GS without disconnecting the battery, unplugging the soldering iron or such, with no issues. Still, if it makes you sleep better, can't hurt to go ahead and do it. Link to comment
