  • Yamaha Ignition Switch/Key

    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.
          Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

          When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

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