FJR clutch master cylinder switch

[Tapartacus]

So I just received my 2007 FJR master cylinder and set to work modifying the switch with some suggestions from Frank. Here is what I did...

This is what the inside of the switch looks like. It's easy to disassemble by prying open the clips that hold the 2 pieces together.

The middle pin has been removed, now its time to bring one of the outside pins to the middle slot. I brought the top one down as it was the easiest to do while also making room for the female part of the plug to snap right in.

I had to modify the pin so a) it would fit in the track of the middle pin and b) would be the same length as the remaining pin.









This is what the middle pin looks like:

This is the result:




Sorry about the blurry pic, I applied a bit if lithium grease to the contacts.
Also to make the pin fit I used a sharp exacto knife to cut out a slot through the middle pins' existing track.

Finished product: (notice the room around the casing to accommodate the female end of the connector).

Good job, that will help others wanting to do the same upgrade.

I forgot to mention I had to cut away some of the material from the the outer pin I used. The diagram is of the middle pin, but the ends of the pins are all the same.

That could be a picture of the inside of mine...  glad my verbal description was of some help.

It sure did Frank, if nothing else it gave me the confidence to tackle it!
So now that's done time to mount and bleed. My train of thought on this was to remove the fluid from the original MC and remove it leaving the line with brake fluid still in it. Mount fjr cylinder and reverse bleed so as not to introduce air into the system and avoid the whole bleed process . Any thoughts? Can you reverse bleed the clutch, ie, use syringe method from the slave up?

thanks

Thanks Andrew!
This is perfect timing. Exactly what I needed

You see, my new 07 FJR clutch arrived in the mail today 

So i will do this to mine also.

Cheers

Looks like one of my photos got deleted so I'll re post.

Anyone have any info on the brake master switch for the FJR? I have a 06 FJR Brake master and the switch is incorrect. Seems that it turns the brake light OFF when it's pulled.

Thanks in advance
