Passenger PTT Tip

You need to find connector C31 underneath your seat (see picture below).

NOTE: This photo shows the optional passenger audio controller C42 that is connected between the mating female/male connectors of C31

Using an ohm meter trace pin 1 of the passenger headset cord to connector C31 so you know which wire you need to run through another switch. Once you trace this wire to the connector C31 just cut it and run it through a switch and back again...........................you are basically turning on/off the passenger microphone rather than having it be "hot" all the time.

I would recommend getting a push button type switch that makes contact when pushed, so when your passenger needs to talk they just push the switch in. When not being pushed the mic circuit is open therefore eliminating the wind noise when your not talking on the intercom.

Works slick!

Another option for a lot less $$ is to put a switch in the mike line on the bikes passenger headset connection. I mounted a small toggle switch with a monetary, center off and on position on the side of the left storage compartment next to the passenger headset connector. I used shielded audio cable to run from the switch to the headset connector under the seat where I interrupted the mike signal. My wife leaves the switch in the center off position until she wants to talk. She either hits the momentary position to say something or hits the on position if she has a lot to say. This setup doesn’t change any audio levels and requires no adjusting. Total cost was about $10 with parts found at a local electronics supply store.

I spliced it in the headset cable right before it plugs into the bike's wiring harness under the seat. I did remove the storage compartment to make mounting the switch a little easier. I can't remember the colors and don't have my service manual with me but here is a sketch to the best of my memory (which isn't much).
