System Connections
Control Unit
The GP500 control unit must be installed as far away
as possible from the engine. Under no circumstances
should the unit be installed close to hot or moving
parts.
1.Remove the seat and any side panels necessary to expose the
battery terminals, indicator light wiring and ignition wires.
2.Select a location under the seat to mount the GP500 control
unit. The control unit must be mounted in a flat and level
position with the side bearing the Clifford logo facing upward.
This location must stay dry and allow the use of screws or tie
wraps to securely fasten the control unit to metal. Avoid hot or
moving parts.
3.Mount the GP500 control unit using screws or tie wraps, but do
not permanently affix it until all wiring and testing is complete.

LED Status Indicator
Select a prominent location on the motorcycle that is highly visible
from all directions. Discuss placement with the owner.
1.Verify there is adequate space to accommodate the LED, then
drill a 4mm (#21 drill bit) hole and route the wires through it.
2.Mate the BLACK wire connector labeled LED (+) to the LED’s
VIOLET wire as shownin the diagram on page 5.
3. Mate the BLACK wire labeled LED (-) tothe LED’s BLACK
wire as shown in the diagram on page 5.
4. Press the LED into place.
PlainView 2 Coded Programming Switch
1.Discuss placement of the switch with the vehicle owner and
avoid placing the switch where it can be pressed accidentally.
2.Mount the switch on to a clean, dry surface using the supplied
adhesive tape.
3.Mate the switch’s locking connectors to the locking connector from
the control unit.

Installation Manual/4995

Indicator Lights
1.Connect a voltmeter lead to ground.
2.Access the indicator light harness near the indicator light switch,
and turn on the left indicator light.
3.Probe the wires. When you probe the correct left indicator light
wire, the voltmeter will read +12V when the indicator lights
illuminate, and 0 volts when they turn off.
4. Turn on the right indicator light and repeat step 3.
5.Connect one of the two BLACK wires labeled Indicator Light
+12Vto the left indicator light circuit and the other wire labeled
Indicator Light +12Vto the right circuit as shown in the
illustration on page 5 .
Starter and Ignition Immobilization Circuits
1.Locate the ignition switch wireloom under the gauges or
key/ignition switch and use a voltmeter to locate the one wire
that carries +12V throughout BOTH the cranking AND
engine running cycles, and 0 volts when the ignition is off.
2. Start the engine, then cut the ignition wire. The engine should
stop running.
3.As shown on page 5, connect the BLACK wire with the Ignition
Input +12 Voltslabel to the key sideof the cut ignition line.

4.Connect the BLACK wire with the Ignition Output +12 Volts
label to the coil sideof the cut ignition line.
5.Use a voltmeter to locate the one wire that carries +12V during
the cranking cycle ONLY. Cut this wire, then try to start the
engine. It should not crank.
6. Connect the BLACK wire with the Starter Input+12 Volts label
to the key sideof the cut starter line.
7.Connect the BLACK wire with the Starter Output+12 Volts
label to the starter side of the cut starter line.
NOTE: The starter circuit may carry a very high
current. Be certain that the starter wire connections
are solid. Each immobilization circuit can carry 15
amps.
8.Remove the labels from each of the wires.
Self-Powered Siren with External Key Override
If a thief disconnects power and/or cuts any or all of the wires while
the system is armed, the siren will sound for five minutes and then
reset. If power must be disconnected for servicing, an override key is
provided to turn the siren off. Unlike other back-up battery sirens
Installation Manual/4997

that constantly drain the vehicle battery, Clifford’s design draws
charging current only when the ignition is on (i.e., engine running).
NOTE: The motorcycle must be ridden for eight hours
after the siren has been installed in order to
sufficiently charge the siren’s back-up battery.
1.Select a location for the siren under the seat or behind a side
cover. Keep the siren away from direct exposure to rain and
moisture. Avoid hot or moving parts. Also make sure there is
sufficient clearance for the mounting screws behind the
mounting surface.
2.You must firmly secure the siren using all three sheet metal
screws supplied. Mount the siren away from areas of water ingress
or excessive heat. Point the siren down to avoid moisture.
3.Connect the siren’s BROWN wire to the BLACK wire labeled
Siren Output (-).
4. Connect the siren’s BLUE wire to the BLACK wire labeled
Ignition Output +12V.
5.Connect the RED wire to the 5 amp fuse connected to the
battery positive cable clamp.
6.Connect the BLACK wire to ground.
