pulled the side cover just enough to take out the resistor plug, never did any testing with ohms but I tried it with a multimeter and it said 326, and the covering on the resistor part that conects the two wires was melted off from the side cover but the resistor did not seen to be damaged, I plug the resistor back in away from the motor so it isn't shorten out and the light did not come on when I started the bike, but I still have to try it again, at lease several more start up's, do you think I should just put another resistor and can I get it from brocks or someone else that you know of
