I have purchased a Admore light Bar with Smart Brake tech for my bike. There are lots of video's on how to install them on many different BMW models, but not the F850's I have been looking for information on the wiring of my bike and so far have come up empty. I am looking for both a switched source of power and the brake light wire. Has anyone installed one on this model of bike or have access to a wiring diagram?
I got some suggestions from the F850GS Form https://www.850gs.com/ and with a lot of trial and error got the wiring to work. BMW didn't make adding items like the Light bar easy and so far I have not found anyone with a wiring diagram for this series of bikes. Can't wait until a third party shop manual is published.
The switched power supply I ended up using is the license plate light which is a bulb, not an LED. That turned out to be relatively easy to tap into.
UPDATE: While tapping into the license plate light does work, I sometimes get an error message telling me there is an Issue with that circuit, so I will continue to look for a better source of power for my light bar (Rob)
