New sort of FJ1200 owner in Australia...

From what I understand Bimota use a lot of Yamaha parts in their builds, switchgear, clocks etc.etc. so
the wiring can't be much different to a std fj1200 loom?

Could you adapt a FJ wiring harness?

Hi, i should have been a little more specific in my post. What ever brand of motor Bimota fit to their frame, they also use the matching loom and switchgear, this makes for an easier transition for them, so when you look closely at the pics, you will see FJ switchgear, dash and loom, Bimota do have to modify the loom to make it fit as the FJ is a much larger bike than the YB.

Hi bikemad,

yes you are correct, it is a modified FJ loom.... I might be on to an original YB5 loom, so if i get it, i'll fit it to the bike to get it up to the race meet in March, then i might pull it out and have an auto elec, use it as a map for a new loom...

Good news really!
That makes the job a lot easier and something you can do on the bike, shortening wiring is not that difficult.
Fiddly and long winded but doable.

Steve, Around a year ago there was a YB5 on eBay that had also had a similar electrics shorted out problem, but it had burned pretty seriously..... must be a common problem.

Nice find!

Wiring looms are not insulated, secured, wrapped and routed randomly, it is the result of much testing and experience.  Small volume producers like Bimota would not have the facilities to test this sort of thing.

IMO

Besides that, it's proof of its Italian heritage.
