JAVIK Handlebar Switch Assembly for Yamaha ATV (OEM 5LP-83973-01-00) — Plug-and-Play Engine Start, Headlight

JAVIK’s handlebar switch assembly is a direct-fit replacement for many Yamaha ATVs, combining engine start/stop, headlight control and a choke lever in one plug-and-play module (OEM 5LP-83973-01-00).

This compact switch cluster restores full left-handlebar control for a wide range of Yamaha models — including Big Bear, Bruin, Grizzly, Kodiak, Raptor and Wolverine years listed under the OEM compatibility. It’s designed to match the original connector and mounting points so you can swap it in without custom wiring, and it includes engine run/stop, high/low/off headlight selection, and a choke lever for cold starts. The part is a quality replacement for the original OEM 5LP-83973-01-00 (also referenced as replacement for 5LP-83973-00-00).

Will this switch fit my Yamaha ATV model and year?

Confirming fitment is the first step: compare your bike’s OEM part number and year with the compatibility list. This JAVIK assembly covers many models across specific years, but always check the OEM number stamped on your original switch before purchasing to ensure exact compatibility.

• Fits OEM# 5LP-83973-01-00 and replaces 5LP-83973-00-00
• Compatible with Big Bear, Bruin, Grizzly, Kodiak, Raptor, Wolverine models listed
• Specific year ranges provided to avoid mismatches

How easy is installation and what does plug-and-play mean?

The assembly uses the same style harness connector as the original Yamaha switch so no splicing or soldering is required. "Plug-and-play" means you unplug the old switch harness, plug this unit into the factory connector, and secure the clamp to the handlebar — minimal tools and straightforward steps.

• Same harness connector as OEM for direct electrical compatibility
• Pre-wired switch housing mounts to the handlebar clamp
• No additional modules or adapters typically required

What controls are included and how do they function?

This single assembly consolidates several essential controls on the left handlebar. You’ll get engine start and stop, a three-position headlight selector (high/low/off), and a manual choke lever for easier cold starts. The layout mirrors original Yamaha ergonomics for familiar operation while riding.

• Engine Start — engages starter circuit
• Engine Stop — kills ignition for safe shutdown
• Headlight Hi/Lo/Off — toggle lighting modes quickly
• Choke Lever — adjust fuel/air for cold starts

Is this a genuine Yamaha part or an aftermarket replacement?

This JAVIK unit is an aftermarket replacement manufactured to match the OEM specification and connector of Yamaha part number 5LP-83973-01-00. It’s intended to replicate original fit and function so you receive reliable operation without buying a dealer-priced factory assembly.

• Aftermarket replacement built to OEM form and function
• Supplied with handlebar switch assembly × 1 in the package
• Designed for direct swap using factory harness plug
