Narcissus,
Would I be able to talk you into giving an explanation in real-world terms of what's involved with that? It's not that I have no experience with mechanics, but quite honestly, autoshop (and owning dirtbikes) in high school was my last real experience, and that was 16 years ago.
What's this resistor, and how/where/when is it installed, etc.?
Your cryptic post makes it sound easy to do, is this true?
