Name This Part And It's Function!

[scottwvu]

what is this and what does it do? it has a dial on it, that says minimum and maximum level settings on it.

[scottwvu]

and it has a little toggle switch on it.

[scottwvu]

and this is how it is hooked up to the battery. ( two wires per terminal ).

Looks aftermarket.Either an alarm or something for lights.

[scottwvu]

I was thinking it was a rev box :confused: :huh

[redracing88]

kinda reminds you of something that would turn up a fuel injector:huh :huh

[LTZ400rider]

nitrous? lights?

[scottwvu]

It's not nitro. It is on a Raptor 660. I'm kinda worried about experimenting with it, for fear of messing something up.

CDI

[DieselBoy]

if it was a CDI why would it have a toggle switch on it? unless it's to shut it off the machine?:huh

Alarm? :eek2:
Light swich?

[DieselBoy]

voltage regulator?:huh

[trick250r]

only thing i can think to do is to flip the switch... but like you said, you dont wanna mess anything up

air box

o its not :ermm:






lol na im kidding



fuse box!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Scro]

I say strobe light...toggle on/off and dial to speed up/slow down:blah:

[nosliw]

get going full throttle in 5th gear and toggle it to see what happens.

[Pappy]

I would say some form of cdi with 2 settings

That looks like a programmer to me. :)

[scottwvu]

well, CDI box seems to be a popular answer.
So what the hell does a CDI box do?

And I have NO CLUE what's up with the toggle switch. It is wired directly to the box and it has all of my buddies stumped.

LMAO!!!! Knowing my luck, it will be an ejection switch:D :D :D

[400exstud]

amp for the subs:o

[13th Grave]

My first guess was a rev box but looking at it and thinking for a minute who the hell knows.

[brian-250]

I would say an adjustable setting CDI box, but the toggle switch is what throws me off.:confused:

[TheX1992]

Little black box is the blinker fluid containment center, and the toggle switch and dial is the On/Off switch and the Flow Regulation Control Center.

[250ex13]

o.0

[DieselBoy]

yes...the toggle switch is what throws me off...

have you tried flipping the switch yet?

[honduh440]

obviously something that has nothing to do with the motor or anything. probably something like the lights or an alarm like said before.

cdi box would for one have more wires going into it with an actuall female plug on it and wouldnt be running any random wires to the battery like that.

[LTZ400rider]

air shifter

flame thrower exhaust?

a starter?

ignition to make spark hotter?

please tell me!

[Raptor350yamaha]

Maybe some kind of adjustable cdi I really don't know. If it was on a banshee its probably the wheely sensor:D

[troutman561]

Looks like a high comp piston to me....

[muff]

is it hooked up to anything else other than the battery and toggle button??

omg i remember that LOL :p

[Mx_523]

Its a kill switch!:o :p

[baseballplaya23]

Im guessing its a CDI box. Have you ever seen the vortex ignition box? it has a handlebar mounted toggle switch to switch between curves. Maybe the dial is to just dial it where it hits harder? :huh

[DieselBoy]

if it was a CDI, though, why would it wire into the battery? they run off the stator....

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Deffinitly Holeshots. Either that or Handle bars.

[MXRACER118]

IT IS NOT A CDI BOX!!!

Most likely a cheap alarm, the toggle would turn the alarm on/off and one set of those wire is a voltage meter so the alarm would go off when it senses a voltage change. The other two are for power.

Definitely sarcasm

[ZBlaster]

[400eXr1d3rZ]

Doh, I still think its handlebars.

[xtullyx16]

flip the dang thing please! maybe cheese will come out of ur exhaust!:p

[procircuit406ex]

it looks like nerfs to me,im stumped:confused:





:scary:

[quadsquadron221]

That is not a cdi box. That is an alarm. Or at least part of the alarm.

[scottwvu]

OK boys and girls, I rode around for an hour on it, and then flipped the switch and......

































the little red light went off. No changes whatsoever. Still clueless.

[Mx_523]

Well I was looking in your profile and it says your a shrink. Is this one of your studies on how quad riders respond to stuff?:blah:

Did you check to see if the box is hooked to anything else other than the battery and toggle button? I would just pull it off...

[Dupontster]

I know what it is but I am not telling until you tell us what the prize is if we get it right....:D

[scottwvu]

Psychologist yes= to say there have been some interesting replies is an understatement.....
Prize? How about this......one day alone with this...

Edit JOEX- wrong pic for this site:grr:

[scottwvu]

OOPS....Let's just say if you get it right, all of your wildest dreams will come true (vote for Pedro):D

[Dupontster]

If I don't win a prize I ain't gonna tell...:D

[XCpred]

Battery tender maybe?

[NorCalRacer]

Voltage cut-off regulator, battery saver? Doojamahicker?

[troutman561]

I actually think it could have something to do with a high comp pistion, not the actual piston as i said before tho it does look similar to one...... The thing that turns from min to max adjusts the compression of the piston.. min is 5:1 while the max setting is 19:1... then im pretty sure the toggle switch allows you to choose whether it runs as a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke....

[trict_out]

did anyone ever figure this out??? im still stumped

[troutman561]

I feel my explanation is the best bet still...

[nightrider05]

I would say either Alarm or some form of Light setup. There would be no reason for a CDI to be wired to the battery like that. That is the control box to control the flash rate like someone else said.

[firefighterjosh]

So what is this darn thing? I read through the posts and I don't believe it is awnsered.


I guess a strobe light regulator thing. I have one similar on my truck.

its the wheelie sensor...duh

[prepracing]

Caneuter valve :devil:

[gbcap]

cut the wires to the damn thing and see if your bike still runs...if it doesn't put them back together and keep on rolling. if it does you can stop worrying about it. haha.

[trick250r]

hahah, if you take off the cover there will probably be pink powerbands in there too. :D i do like troutman561's idea about the 2 stroke 4 stroke toggle :p

[your2slo2]

its an alarm the knob is for the shock sensitivity when moved or tire kicked or whatever , and the button is the valet switch to override it . now take it off if it bothers you somebody who had it before you must have lived in the hood . it wont work anyway if you dont have the remotes to turn it on and off anyway .

[procircuit406ex]

has anyone figured this out? i would really like to know!! lol:D

Im with you on this one, it def. looks like a control box for the auto style little strobe lights.

[bwamos]

It's a solid state powerband induction unit.

When it's turned on.. red light you have a powerband. When you dont want a powerband you jstu turn it off.


(ps - no I'm not serious)

In all seriousness.. I'd put money on "Redneck Thingamajig".

[HB416EX]

Seems like I got it right the first post.Alarm or lights.

[NorCalRacer]

It's the little black box.... when you crash and burn they can see what went wrong:blah: :D

[NacsMXer]

My guess is it is a CDI box with an adjustable rev limiter. You turn the knob to set the rev limit and the toggle switch is some type of holeshot control. Whos knows though lol :p

[elchankoblanko]

Its a strobe light thing from WAL-MART. One switch toggles it on and off, and the other controls how fast it goes, Id put a million dollars on it.

[RaptorRacer45]

I used 2 have 1 of those! and That makes Perfect Sense!

[Quad18star]

It sure looks like this , except this one doesn't have a dial to control the intensity or speed of the strobe .

I think we might have a winner here!! :D

Its a zapper you idoits.. When you roll your quad up side down, you simpily get to it when the quads upside down, then you say ok mr switch, n switch it, it then shocks the gas n the oil so they dont comingal and then screw thing up real bad through out your hole valve tank cookies, milk ,eggs.

2nd that..................:huh :huh :huh

[troutman561]

Hmm if it is a strobe light then I have questions... #1 was the person you bought it from dressed as a cow boy with crotchless chaps on? or perhaps a police officer? or maybe a construction worker with no shirt on just suspenders, pants and a hard hat? Perhaps he was dressed as an indian cheif, but if thats the case id have to say he smokin more than peace pipes.....
Also, does the exhaust sound like different techno beats in each gear, could be a sure sign of a need for the strobe light, perhaps the strobe goes with the beat?

Well...When you roll yourquad, you go ok mr switch im going to switch you and your going to like it, after you switch it, it will eltricty the whole valve tank, gas tank, and oil box, so they do not combine, if that happens, you may have a 2 stroke on your hands, no if it turns into a 2 stroke, sugar milk eggs:bandit: :bandit: :bandit: :bandit:

Because I have no clue, what you just said...

[Stevie-D]

cookies and milk...damn good idea man!!!:D

It could be a regulator. The more you twist the knob, the more electricity it'll allow to pass? Sounds convincing. :confused:

[TANNER250r]

wheelie sensor thank god someone is paying atechan

[400ex28]

It's to adjust the pink powerband.

I think the reason he posted this up , was because he DIDN'T know what the part was and was looking for everyone's input .

But like a bunch have guessed and from the pictures I've posted , I think it's safe to say it's a limiter/speed control for a strobe light kit .

I am with him. I think it might be one of those strobe kits from autozone.

[Tom TRX250R]

The only reasonable explanation of what that could be is a strobe light adjuster or alarm adjustment. That would be the only 2 that would make sense to wire to the battery unlike a CDI which does not wire directly to the battery like that. I am leaning more towards a POS strobe light adjuster, though ghetto, I have seem some crap like that at the dunes!!

[scottwvu]

OOPS!!!! I had asked this question on several forums....and thought I had responded to them all when I finally found out what it was.

And the winner is (drumroll please)..........

A regulator for a strobe light. (I took it off). Thank you all for your humour and help!!!! You guys rock!!!!!:D :D :D :scary:

[Tommy 17]

strobe lights or heated handgrips... you guys are morons:o

[NorCalRacer]

Nah, morons are people who put strobe lights on quads.
