Default CBR 600rr Ipod Toggle switch?

So i bought the bike from one of my cousins friend that lives in Iraq.. i ownd it for atleast going on 3 yrs now.. the bike has ipod connection with speakers installed on the bike but before u get to turn it on, u need to use the toggle switch unfortunately one of the the toggle switch broke and it doesnt say which is negative and positive.. Im thinking bout replacing the toggle switch with better one but i dont know which is negative and positive.. Now my question is what is the worst thing that could happend if i accedently connect the positive to negative, negative to positve?

If it is a simple toggle switch, then there is no negative and positive. It simply interrupts or completes one side of the circuit. In other words, it doesn't matter how you connect the wires, so long as you use the wires that the old switch was connected to.

Google is your friend, it actually takes less time to search on google than to post here, try something like "how to wire a toggle switch". That should give you all the info you need to learn in order to learn how to wire a toggle switch.

this thread is full of fail.......... OP your answer was already posted, toggle switches do not have positives and negatives, just take your 2 wires and hook them up to EITHER one of the leads on the switch and it will work there is no positive and negative on a switch

In for pictures.

I have a hard time taking people seriously when their bikes have stereos... but then again I've never seen one on a sportbike.

So that people can 'see him rollin' and hear him too. because stuntin' is a habbit and he has to put it in the air.

Are they waterproof? Or how do you do when it rains?

Can you actually hear something over the wind noise and helmet? LOL
