Hey everyone, just picked up a srx 500 to play around on, I noticed on the ignition switch it has 3 settings Heater/ON/OFF, it won’t start on heater and I’m just curious of what that even does if anything at all? Thanks!
Off, is just like it says, on would be able to be started, but hand warmers and thumb will not have power, heater is running with power to the hand a thumb warmers.
BTW, it should start on heater unless there is a issue with ignition.

going from memory from when i owned my 01 sx500r, the motor would pull start fine in the on or heater position. yamaha might have a saftey on it that it might not run if it dosen't see resistance from the hand warmers but i never heard of one or enounterd it.
