I am installing a Dual LED voltage meter in my 2021 Talon R. Is there a ground available that only connects when the key is on? Wiring it as per the instructions the LED gauge is always on. Works real good as a battery drain. Any help would be appreciated.

That's what the relay is for, to switch the ground control off and on, there's no other way to get a switched ground. eta: other than to add a separate/manual toggle switch.

The orange thing, top center, is the relay -

That make sense. It would have been nice if the instructions had included that info. Thanks

IIRC, the kit I bought from the Hondasxs.com club store a couple years ago included those instructions.
