Thanks for disassembling this ignition. I bought a Service manual for my motorcycle. It doesn’t show how to repair or replace the ignition. I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking it apart, without knowing what’s inside, first. (This was very helpful) Thanks, again !

Hi, tidy video... Thanks, have you ever fitted aftermarket switch with different colour wires.. I have a 7 wire zzr 600 switch and Chinese replacement, apparently I have to fit a resistor in grey wire to get ignition to work, but need proper instructions which don't come with switch.. Thanks

Hi, Sorry, no I haven't. If you have the old switch you could dismantle it, that would tell you what the internal wiring was. Then you'd have to dismantle the new one as well, which would mean you'd either have to fit new anti-tamper bolts or use ordinary ones. The service manual may be online which would tell you the wiring and colours, but that's not a lot of help with the new switch. Mine came as a plug-in replacement with a resistor.

@@sat0shidewimotostevo716 hi, in the end I dismantled both switches to swap the circuit boards and attached leads... The reason for buying the switch was that lock was worn/faulty and the new one was cheap... I therefore kept all wiring colours same, and the resistor on board was kept as standard... Works lovely...

@menadue sorry bout that buddy 😬 I'm probably gonna pre hook up the ignition just plug 2 plug to see and if it don't work it's probably a chip issue but I read a form online saying they didn't main Streem ignition chips till 05, bro and for those safety screws I made sure they had a specal place in my trash can 😂 I bought some new normal screws incase this exercise happens again lol

Hi, i drilled them out. I actually did this on my mini mill, but a drill press would do. You could also file a slot into them and use a screwdriver to get them out, I'd have thought. Or drill a hole and use a screw extractor. They weren't corroded or stuck in the hole at all when I undid them.

If by ignition you mean ignition switch, then yes, I'd have thought so. Looking at the Haynes manual wiring diagram the ignition switch applies power to lighting circuits and a few other bits and bobs, but its main job is to apply power to the ignitor. This controls the spark. You will probably have to debug the wiring with a meter to see whether you have power on the appropriate lines.
