If your sick of the almost vintage switch Block,its an easy conversion to fit xjr left switches , all wires are the same except one yellow/red on the Fj ,and the plug needs changing to match the fj, even get hazard lights for whatever reason yamaha fitted them , the extra Fj wire goes the black wire from the switches
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it

84 Fj1100  effie , with mods
( 88 ) Fj 1200  fairly standard , + blue spots
84 Fj1100 absolutely stock standard, now more stock , fitted with Fj12 twin system , no rusted headers for this felicity jayne

so  the yellow/red from the fj goes to the black on the xjr switch?  that simple?  i like this mod :smile:

I am curious as to what year XJR you are refering to, is it one of the later years? I believe that the earlier years where the same as the 3XW FJ.

well i used a switch block from an 98 model and that had the extra wire that the Fj dousnt have, easy enough swap I just checked where the wires went to in the xjr block and cut the plug soldered the wires to an old Fj plug, and spliced the extra wire into the Fj loom

just waiting for my switch to arrive,from a 2008 xjr,  going on to my 95 3xw, so gonna find out soon enough  :scratch_one-s_head: could end up in the bin i hate wires

fj11.5

Easy enough deal, just trace the wires and match them to the plug, also on mine I needed to remove some plastic from inside the xjr switch that pokes into the handle bar when the switch screws together

cheers fj11,  did you have to change the flasher relay to get the 4way flashers , or does the oem unit cope with it,

fj11.5

Seems to cope fine as is, not something that would be used to often. so should last o

OK fellas I think I am missing something here, the switch does Hi/Low beam, indicators and four way flasher but I don't see any way to turn the lights on, what am I missing?  :dash2:

  Not sure about the later models but on the early models the on/off switch is located on the right handle bar switch block.    Pete.

Well if your loooking at a right side xjr switch block I think there is no on switch for the lights as they are hard wired , , but refer previous post about early Fj. Switches  :empathy:

eagle eyed grey runner :biggrin: you are bang on bud, i allready have the right hand switch,should have said this, the only reason ime changing switch gear is to gain the hazard lights switch
            and if it looks like to much messing about with wires,they will be both in file 13,lost forever in the back of me shed  :lol:
