hey guys,i was out riding today and my machine just quit on me,i found the problem.what happened is the contact point on the resistor cap burnt out,so the wire wouldnt hold itself to the plug.thankfully i was riding the sand hills at the local recycle center.i ended up pulling the resistor cap off and crimped on a connecter from a lawnmower that i found in the pile that was there,anyway i now need a new plugwire&cap and im wondering how does it connect to the coil?can i just pull it off and put on a new one or is there more to it?thanks for the help..

 

Look at page 51 here

It's a 2002 500 2x4 but should be about the same.....doesn't really show much but it might help

 

i am almost positive that it plugs in... it did on my pred..

 

i have a service manual,it shows a picture as the coil and the plug wire as 1 piece and the resistor cap can be removed,but it doesnt say or show any more about it,also partsland.com doesnt sell just the wire
the sell the coil&wire togrther and the resistor cap seperate..it kinda looks like ill need to buy the whole coil[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

that sucks.. you would think they would make it a lil cheaper for people.. geez.. they are turing into yamaha.

 

lol hopefully someone who knows for sure will come in and give me the answer im looking for[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]the way i have it now seems to be working,but there is no cap around the plug and i dont know how good that is?

 

i dont think it will hurt anything.. if you touch it you will get zapped.. i think

 

yeah id get zapped for sure if i touch it lol,but i wont be doing that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

id say fack it and ride in until you need one.. unless you can just buy the wire..

 

yeah thats probably what ill do,if we would just get some more snow id say @uck the quad and ride the sled somemore[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
