i heard somewhere about a wiring kit where my lights and fan will still work after removing starter and battery.

anyone know of this kit?

also which oil should i use when i go to premix?polaris brand or some other brand?

tks!

 

I forgot to strap my battery down one day before I went for a ride. Needless to say, I made it a mile or so before my battery fell out. It ripped the one post right out off the battery and the other cable pulled right out of the cable lug. I never knew my battery fell out until about a half hour later when I was coming back down the same trail and saw a battery that looked like mine laying on the ground.(I run a oversized sealed battery in my quad)

My point to all this is that my lights still worked and my fan. I don't see why you would need a "wiring kit". Just remove the battery, battery tray, cables, and the starter. Everything will still run off the stator and work the same as it did before. With the exception that your lights may get a little dim when you are just sitting there at an idle.

 

All Your battery does is supply the juice to start the motor. Once your motor is running the Stator takes over and supplies the juice to run the quad and lights. It also recharges the battery. Like elroy said the only thing you should notice is the lights will dim just a little when the machine is at idle because the stator isn't putting out as many amps.

P.S. If you remove your starter and battery would you be willing to sale it? I am looking for a starter.

 

Ive heard that the 4 wheel drive sensor is run off the battery. I was told that if your having trouble with your front hubs engaging when they shouldnt it could be because your battery is low on juice. Has anyone else heard this?

 

White Bros. sell a battery eliminator kit for $25.00. The Polaris battery also acts as a voltage regulator. Without the battery; you'll eventually burn out some lights among other things. The whole idea is to alleviate excessive voltage.

 

The battery acts as a capacitor. That is what the White Bros. kit Fasterthangas was talking about. You can also relocate and replace your battery and starter solenoid. I have been running a thin film battery all summer long w/o any hickups. It is 2lbs 8oz, can be mounted in any position, maintains a charge for three years, can start a Honda 4 cyl car. I installed an aluminum plate under where the oil injection tank used to be. Rerouting the solenoid wires required no money....just a few zip-ties. The solenoid mounts on the right front side (viewed as you were sitting on machine)of the vertical steering support. The battery tucks down nicely and is secured with one of the JUMBO zip-ties. You can then dice off your heavy battery tray, and presto, your electronics are sheltered. One drawback is the the battery, bought striaght from the manufacturer, was just over $100. But, if his claims of it lasting 3+ years is true, that would cover the cost of the non-reliable reg. batteries.
