Keyless ignition for a trak bike.

[komodo]

I want to convert a 97 zx7r to a keyless igntion (track bike). Using the stock run/kill switch.
I've got the tumbler out and ready to wire.
I kow which 2 wire are ign. And battery power.
I tried temporialy wireing them to gether to try and start the bike.
No luck.
I understand there needs to be a resistor in the system somewhere.
The question is where an what amount/size of a resistor do I need?

Why go through all of that?!?!??!

Remove the ignition cylinder completely and put a momentary contact switch in it's place. You hook that up to a relay that powers the starter (but only as long as you hold that button down).

..... and voila, done!

Okay, off you go, get 'er done.

There's a ign wire that goes to ignitor. I don't believe the ignitor will fire unless it's seeing the proper signal. I think the tumbler had some kind of resistor in it for this purpose. Kind of a crude anti-theft to keep people from just clipping the wires going into the tumbler and hot wireing.

There is a resistor you need in there. I can't remember the ohms you need, but google it and you will find it.

I found what type of resistor I need.
Now where to get it.
The source doesn't have the one I need on the web page.
I need some geek help.
Where can I get my hands on some resistors locally (west end)?

I've had a hell of a time finding actual components in the west end. Usually end up downtown at one ofthe outlets on queen. I have a big old bag of resistors from when I was making aTRE's if you shoot me the info i can check if I've got what you need.

You guys should've stuck around sunday, it cleared up after lunch beautifully!
