resistor kit question

[bad01300ex]

if i am sitting on my quad, what side of the radiator does the new plug thing go in????

[yfzrider93]

It goes on the right side

Thanks.

Man all this electrical crap im tempted to gut it and get the kickstart kit!

[yfzrider93]

Yeah, I went to a kick start on my last yfz after having all sorts of battery problems. I put the resistor on my current yfz right after I got it and no problems yet.

do we need a light switch for the resistor kit to work or can i junk the whole thing and get a kill switch and use it for my starter button reason im asking is i smashed mine this weekend and dont wanan buy a new , but i heard the light switch must be run on hi or lo for the battery to charge...true or not?

a starter switch from a wr450 is a much better replacement (and they are the same $$). The "stop" switches will corrode and not work very well after a few trips through the car wash. I've tried everything. :cool:

yea thats another thing, now that i got the headlights off, i wanna get rid of that switch, kandk atv has got a "yz style start button" is that just the electirc start without the light part or what?

I'm not sure what K&K is selling as a "yz style" but the WR starter switch is just 1 button, and it's about the size of the after market, "dirt bike" kill switches, but it is sealed and the contacts inside the switch are much stronger. Yamaha part # 5TJ-83976-11-00.

Actually try to go with a sealed Cannondale starter switch. about the same size and is completely sealed (unlike any of the bike start or kill switches) will never corrode and will work under water.

where can you get a cannondale starter switch? I don't want to jump a cannondale rider, and steal his switch.
