Well I lost my ignition key recently for my 04 Polaris Pred500. Dumb thing... don't ask how:( I'm leaning towards NOT buying a new ignition assembly. And moving my neutral light /oil light indicators, and primer pump that are currently mid-handlebar cluster to instead onto nearby body plastic. I'd run machine without a key. Just starting it with clutch in, and push of electric start button...no key needed.
I do have a Pro Armor Tether on the machine too.
Anyone done the moving of above parts as I described, and what do I have to watch out for?
My machine always starts right away and runs like a champ. Never had any problems.
I've wanted to move the instrument cluster anyway so I can put on a possible bar riser or just get different handlebars someday. So this may be a good time to do it now.
Please let me know soon as I want to get this done between 9/3/10-9/8/10. I appreciate all input. Feel free to include details/problems you've seen. I do want to re-sell this machine in the next 1-3 years and I hoping to not effect the re-sale price much. I mostly ride XC/Trails and occassional MX. I've done a few races here and there.
