They plug into the light socket on any sled to charge your battery.

Anyone in Edmonton area interested in sharing the shipping costs on an order?

Just a thought ? Your out rididng, you roll your sled and rip your lights wire out or its harness, and you need a boost ? What's wrong with a god small set of jumpers ? I mean, if your under the hood anyway(to boost a sled) why mess around with a light socket and take the chance of breaking it as well from disconecting it while its cold and brittle ? Just a thought, maybe I'm missing something here......I am stunned ya know.

these jumper cables are for going from a 2stroke headlight to help jump/charge a 4stroke battery.

I'll bring the wife she can boost me from her Apex or vice versa lol. If all else fails were walking. These look like a good idea... All the buds are running 2smoke and still have their headlights lol

Yup...all my buds have 2 strokes also....these are to boost from any sled 2 stroke or 4 stroke. Only way normal booster cables work is if someone you're with has a battery!

Anyways....I'm ordering a set in the next couple weeks if anyone wants to share the shipping costs...I think they're a must.

One problem that I can see with this setup is.... the headlights on the newer sleds aren't exactly easy to get at. Could you not just use the 12v jack?

I bought a set from Riverside Yamaha in St Albert

Please tell us what you think of them if you have used them yet or tried out on a buddies 2smoke headlight. Any info on compatibility with head light sockets would be great. Thanks... I'm not sure if all brand sleds use same bulb socket or not... I can see handing your 2smoke buddy 5 bucks for fuel while he charges your batt from his headlight ha ha, maybe 10 bucks lol... Bring cash for the hills boys lol.

I phoned them today and they said they don't carry them...how long ago did you buy one?

I just made up a short set of booster cables today. First time we are carrying them since switching to 4 strokes in 2003. Now that my son has a 7S battery on his sled I am thinking it is a good idea. As far as getting a boost, there are getting to be lot's of four strokes around now and you can only trickle charge through the headlight wiring anyway.

Yes you're right but I don't want to sit on the back side of a mountain by myself while my group goes off to find a 4 stroke back near the cabin....

even though you can only trickle charge, better to sit and have lunch or a snack while it charges and be on your way.

One thing that I can see that would be better would be to use the 12v jack intead-much easier to get at. Im gonna make a set this week I think...my bro in law has been razzing me ever since I bought this sled so I don't want to give him any reason to keep going...

other thing I might do is install a block heater...they're pretty cheap and you could just run it off of a battery inverter. Last time I had my apex outside at -30 for 2 days, it started the first day but not the second.

They ordered them in for me a couple of years ago. Haven't had to use them yet.

I've been thinking about this....Maybe there is a reason they want you to use the light sockets....if you didn't use the lights and instead the 12v jack, you may be drawing too much power from the 2 stroke by having the lights running and drawing power through the 12 jack....any thoughts?
