I have a 2000 srx that was running fine than after we stoped for lunch about 3 min. later it ran on one cylinder but did check and there is spark on all three spark plugs. Got towed back to the trailer and came home. I thought the harness rubbed through. Check the harness but did not see anything wrong with it. I retaped it all. There is no tach, head light or fuel gauge working. I am going to try to test the stator and the cdi box also. I am also gonna test the compression. Any others ideas to check. I was planing on leave thursday on another trip but am at a lose to figure out what is wrong. Could I of damage anything electrical when I turned my powervalves with the Max Perf. tester?

Just a thought..... Mrviper had told me before since i had a similar problem with mine that it is a load control relay located on the clutch side down by your foot. I would start mine up on really cold days and nothing would work, no lights, tach.... nothing then all of a sudden in a few minutes it would come on. Not sure if this will help you in your problem but its worth a check.
 
So it will only fire/run on 1 cylinder?

Theres spark on all 3 spark plugs when you pull the sled over?

the load control relay is located on theleft side above the cdi box, its white in color, the blue one is the headlight relay. Just simply unplug the white relay and see if it will run and gain your lights and all back? dont run it long but if it starts up and everything functions again you know where the problem is. If it does run, its most likely a dead short in the wiring somewhere .
 
torrs ( tors?)

limit switch on the throttle that kills power if the throttle is stuck ( safety)
but they act up sometimes.
you can bypass them

??
my torrs acted up a couple time yesterday on my first ride

I was just reading th manual this weekend ( becasue i added some accessories) and I think the load control relay, when removed, will kill the lights and allow the engine to run to get home. ( says to do this to get home if an electrical issue exists)

so , removing the load control "should" kill the lights, but if the sled runs good then, you know where to chase the short ( in the headlight, accy lights wiring)

By passed the tors already and did not improve. I replaced the kill switch last year. How do you bypass the kill switch? Just by unpluging it?
 
Find the wire harness in the foot well on the CDI box wore through. 4 wires had the copper showing through. Sled should be fixed now. Thanks for the help guys.

I have heel clickers in the clutch, it has the stock 47 degree helix in it. I tried changing it out with the green secondary and a 52-42 helix. Only would pull 7800 - 8000 rpm. I do have a set of 45-7 heel clickers but they have the pound rivets for them. Can i use the 45-7 in my clutch and pull the right rpms. Or do you have any idea what I could use with the 52-42 helix. Are the angles ok in a SRX? Any idea which weighsts where to start? Should I use the heavier rivets in the toe and 3 or 4 washer in the heel?
 
with a 51/43 the sled does awesome with 4.5g rivits in each location for the stock swing weights and Yamaha WWW primary spring. i went from being beat by 800 Rev HO's to beating them. ( 3 buddies)
major midrange improvement.

you want the 2000 srx at 8500-8600rpm

I can't contribute any help regarding heel clickers.

i had the same problem, i had to disconnect the relay and the sled would start fine!! the problem was the wire harness but you said you did check it.

you can try to disconnect the black relay and see what happen
