    From a E-mail…

    1.Can I get a key blank. I only have one key…the key says 006 on it. It is a Vengeance Warrior.

    2. The speedometer is not working right since I changed the transmission. It does not keep the correct speed and the mileage is crazy. Is this something I can fix…or adjust. or how much is new speedometer?

    3. Where is the “cold start” or fuel enricher control on a Warrior… Please

    1. Any locksmith (not home depot) can make a copy. Its called a tubular key.

    2. Check the sending unit on the top of the transmission make sure it doesn’t have metal attached to the magnet. Download the owners manual and do a complete reset of the speedo. They are made by Dakota Digital

    3. It’s a lever on the top of the air cleaner. Pull it up to start. Don’t leave it up while you are riding as you will foul the plugs.

    Ask your questions in the forum so everybody can learn more and can help too. Thanks! –S.

    Go to a REAL locksmith not some dude with a key cutting machine in his shoe repair shop. And if you go to real locksmith and he dosn’t have the key blanks tell him hes not a real locksmith. 🙂

    Heres a link on ebay from a guy selling the blanks… http://compare.ebay.com/like/190507422157?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&rvr_id=223171956804&crlp=1_263602_309572&UA=%3F*F%3F&GUID=e626e66412c0a47a2a461eb6fffde4da&itemid=190507422157&ff4=263602_309572 If not you can buy a new Key switch from Drag specialties that comes with 2 new keys.

    It sounds like your wiring was modified because all of our bikes had red/black leads on the battery cables. The Neg goes to the frame the Positive goes to the starter.

    Your air cleaner was changed from the stock S&S to a D&M and looks like they didn’t put a choke knob on the carb. There should be a brass shaft coming vertical out of the top of the carb towards the back.
