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.
