Yamaha Ignition Switch/Key

[Jim_NH]

I need a standard Yamaha ignition switch and key. I believe it's the same for all Yamaha street bikes, though it will actually go on a 1996 YZF 600R for my son.

The switches are not all the same. I only know the XS ones, and depending on the displacement (650/750/850/1100), some are different from others.

I know that the 400 and 650 in the XS series use the same ignition, and I haven't even compared to see if it's the same as on my 1100, but I do know that the 650 ignition was a direct replacement for my damaged ignition on my 400.

Let me know what you find out regarding the keys and ignition switches. I have several all from XS1100 and XJ1100's. If you need one, let me know or if you need me to take a closer look at the ones I have for markings, numbers, etc.

Even on the 1100 they can differ. The early models used a 3 wire switch while the later ones used a 4 wire switch. If you disassemble the switches it is fairly simple to swap those parts out though.

Yes indeed, both of the spare ignition switches I have are of the 4 wire type.
