For some stupid reason all of the 1991/1992 models on the spare parts lists have the ignition module fitted with a 3 pin plug, (3JV-82501-00-00)this one on the bike is a 4 pin, and virtually no one I can see stocks them, Fun Fun Fun. Googling found that listings for the SR500 ignition switch also lists fitment as the 3XW FJ1200s, man this gets confusing, but at least its the right one.


Well, To throw a bit more confusion on the fire Ray, I just checked mine and it's got a 2 pin plug.



I'm glad I checked it because I was thinking about getting a new ignition switch. I can turn mine on and pull the key straight out so have a carabena mounted to hook the keys to so I don't lose them, plus the plug looks corroded so I'll clean it up while I'm there.

You'd think all the 3xw's would be the same, but obviously not. Mine is a 2/93 model so not sure when or why they changed things around.

That is crazy Tony. In my search I found plenty of 3 pin plugs, never saw a 2 pin! Even the original Yamaha part number is 3 pin. Must have fitted some 2 pin and 4 pin plugs to f&$ck with us. Lol.

My brother who is going to be the guardian of this bike for a while took the screen home with him and took to it with the Meguirs Lens Correction kit, and he said it looks great. Will have a look on the weekend when he comes over to spend a couple of days with me painting/finishing the bike off.


Can you pm me you phone number please Tony.

Heres a little update on this latest machine I picked up a couple of weeks back, its gone...... :cray:

But its gone to a good home, my big brother is the very worthy recipient of it, and after a full on weekend of some TLC this '91 looks a heap better than when I picked it up from the bike shop. As Shane (known as Not So) has said over in the Intro section, just needs some carb balancing/syncing done, replacement screen and a few Randy mods and she should be good for another 80 000kms  :drinks:    So after a bit of a shed cleanup, it will be time for me to get stuck in earnest into the '92 Project that has been sort of neglected, this one will take much longer than a weekend,  :wacko3:

Ooohh shucks, X-ray ... You are too kind. Who is that good looking guy in the helmet (where he looks better  :lol:) As you can see I have finally found the correct part of the forum.  :wacko1:

PS. I will fix that broken bit around the helmet lock this week mate.
It's great to throw the leg over. :drinks:
