Yamaha YBR 07 Ignition

[bobby1289]

Hey Everyone.

New to the forum sorry if this sounds dumb.

The ignition on my YBR 07 is faulty. When the key is turned to the On position there is no power, however if I turn the key back to between the On and Off position the power comes on.

I have taken the ignition out and its looks like there is some corrosion on the wiring in the ignition. I want to replace the ignition with a new one but the problem is, I can't find the one for my model anywhere. The ignition on mine connects via a '4 spade' connector block. All the ignitions I can find have 3 wires going into the connector block and the fourth wire separate.

Heres what I can find.

Is there anywhere I can find the correct ignition, I've looked all over. Or is there a way to make the ignition I have found work with my model.

Thanks.

Where's the corrosion showing?

That sounds more like an issue with the barrel than the wiring though.

Have you tried cleaning it out? Blow through it, put some alcohol down it, or WD-40 I suppose if you've got nothing better to hand. Graphite powder is the dogs for locks though.

Thanks for the reply.

The corrosion is where the wires are soldered to the bottom of the the ignition barrel.

I put down wd40 down it when I took it out. I've got some graphite powder at work, so will try that.

Its hard to describe but, the barrel does feel a little wierd. The inner barrel where the key goes feels lose. Sometimes when I put the key in it presses in and sticks. I have to wiggle the key to make it spring back up. Maybe somethings broke inside?

Sounds like.

I wouldn't recommend this, but I have rescued a shonky lock by simply packing it out with grease.

If it's past saving though, are the wire colours the same on that replacement, and it's just the connectors that are different? If so, chop off the blocks and solder your 4-spade block on to the new wires?

If you think its corrosion on the soldered joints then pull the barrel and resolder surely?

[Taught2BCauti...]

Soaking the connectors in vinegar will remove the corrosion, but don't leave them soaking for too long at a time (repeat until mended) - and wash thoroughly with water, dry completely, and treat with WD40 after.

Just a thought - has this recently happened? Could some tow-rag have been fiddling with it?

Another thought - could the previous owner have tried to bodge a repair, leaving it with a non-standard connector now?
