First thing you will need to open up
the remote, most will just unsnap into two halves. Some
models will have screws, check yours to be sure.
Now find the internal main button that
operates to open/close the door. It should have four metal
solder points around the button. You will need to find the
solder point on either side that connects to operate the
door when you push the button. To do this, install the
battery, stand in the garage, and place a jumper wire across
the solder points until you activate the opener. These two
contacts will be where you need to
solder in the switch wire.
Switch wires soldered
Now you need to wire in a push button
switch on these two wires that you have soldered to the
remote. Make the wire length to the switch long enough to
reach the spot for mounting.
Push button switch
Most motorcycles operate on 12 volts,
so you will not be wiring in power and ground wires for this
3 volt remote. You will be using the watch type battery that
is provided with your remote for the power source.
 Now close your opener remote back up
(you may have to cut holes for the wire to come out), and
your ready to mount it.
 Next, find a place to mount your
remote, usually somewhere under the seat would work best.
Now find a spot near the handlebars or triple tree to mount
the push button switch. Run the wires under the tank edge or
somewhere else hidden. Use wire ties to hold wiring in
place.
How this works is when you push the
button, it connects the inner contacts in your remote. It's
that simple. The downfall on the 3 volt remote mod, is that
the remote battery will eventually drain, and you will have
to replace it periodically.
As always have fun, and be safe.
