To all those who have installed this Plug n Play system, does it really start up easier? Is it like a Japanese bike after installing? I was curious.

I'll let you know if I ever get around to installing the set I bought last year.

Last year?

It is better to for the oil pump to prime the engine a couple of times. 90% of engine wear is caused by lack of oil at startup.

@Skandix yep that's true even tho the Warrior has a semi-dry-sump oil system. I'm not sure how that interfaces with the question about starter cabling. Help me out bro!

My bike was starting to take a little longer than normal to start, I bought the wires but before I installed them I got ivans flash and for some reason that seemed to fix the slow start. Still plan on installing them when it gets warmer

It's like cables in the hi-fi era)))

But the cornbread is not cooking the bacon cuz the pigeons are all flying.

I changed the cables in my Ducati in the past as they like to start up slowly like the Warriors. It seemed to help that bike. Seems like a great addition to our bikes.
I will add it to "The List" I guess.

Just FYI

I have CobraCVT and Ivan's. Plus my battery is
Shorai LFX18A1-BS12 (March 2014) and Shorai SHO-BMS01 Charger. This Shorai combination fires my Beast so fast its ridiculous and makes me smile. I believe the CobraCVT and Ivan's combination has something to do with the fast starts too.

If you have a competent battery and do basic scheduled maintenance on the whole bike, and if you have good air:fuel management, the starter doesn't have to work so hard. Remember: battery voltage drops during cranking, and lower voltage means higher amperage (creates huge heat) so the system is self defeating. The factory knows this, its common to big cube motors, it's why they added a start-up decompression system.

If all is right, the system works with stock starter cables etc. If you can't fix a problem or decompression system is dead then the big cables might protect against cable failure. But the low-voltage-high-amperage heat will still be your enemy. I suspect some Warriors have sat in garages because the ignition wiring cooked. Or the starter magnets cooked loose.

Keeping this separate:
If you like big cube bikes and have what it takes to ride it well, then the Warrior is at the top of the go-to list. There is nothing else like it. This community is just one witness to this fact. It's sometimes hard to discover all the pita things a prior owner did to the bike. But there's enough info here to help identify how EVERYTHING should be connected and adjusted. Everything. Everything. A first task should always be to set-up Everything in the bike's baseline. Its far easier and far smarter. Get the SYSTEM as right as you can. After that, make repairs needed.

Those cables are great. But they won't make your Warrior start better if other things are set-up badly.

I have no issues with the bike so far. Starts up well and running great so far. When I run it. Sits on the trickle most of the time.
But, I get bored and always looking to do things to make it better on a small budget. It gives me incentive to work more or when I work hard, I like to reward myself with small items that the wife can't see.

@catchinganupshift yep brother I get that, you've got a righteous ride it's a very mean looking bike!

It needs more though.

 

[arizonawarrior]

Well, ALWAYS!

I upgraded my wires and it helped a little. I am a big advocate of proper grounding and that has been a culprit of mine on other builds. I made my own with some wiring I had here from my warehouse. Every little bit helps.
I always say it is about the combination. Kinda like when people ask about "Will this pipe make the most power....ever?" I am like no but a good pipe with the right design married to a good flowing intake and tune to take advantage of all the new air going in and out will make the best power.
I think your bike deserves a new treat as well. Feed the Beast.

Me too. Maybe 2 years ago.
