Guys, are the front and rear power outlets on an XT live with the key on or does the bike need to be running? I bought a mini air compressor and plugged it into each outlet but it did not run. I would start the bike and try it myself but do not want to start it for just a few minutes to find out. I will not be riding for at least a month and want to know if the outlets are working properly. Oh by the way, the compressor runs when plugged into my pickup truck outlet. Thanks!

On only with the key on my X.

On 08+ models, the outlets are ECM controlled. Key needs to be on, so does the kill switch, and you need sufficent voltage. If in doubt, start the motor.

RE the power outlets: will the front socket hot wire work for ignition controlled aux lights off a relay?

Both are on the same 10 amp line.

You could use the hot wire as a trigger wire for the relay. Strong and ample voltage comes to the pin 30 on the relay from a separate fused 12 or 14 guage wire directly from the battery for unbeatable durability.

Don't forget that fuse near the battery.
