So I had been having intermittent starting issues with the Vader. Sometimes it would start and other times it would not. And finally, it was totally dead. No click, nothing.

I checked the connector that I posted in the earlier picture and it was fine. I thought it could be the starter relay so I ordered one off of Amazon. They're only $7. I took off my side panel to test my current relay and saw that this connector had disconnected to the relay.

Why the heck would you have 2 connectors to the low voltage connector of the relay???

I reconnected it and it started up just fine. Now I got a back up relay if mine ever really does die, which I think is totally possible. I zip tied this connector just like the other one and I highly recommend everybody do the same!

btw, I found out it is super easy to jump start the bike by engaging the clutch, putting it in first gear and pushing the bike a little and then popping the clutch to start it and then quickly engaging the clutch again to keep it running.
