Ignition switch information for Honda Cb400sf

[marshanite]

Bike got nicked outside the house and then the police found it with the ignition totaled and the wires ripped off the ignition. I now have a problem. The wires that came off the igntion switch number 3, one red, one blue with an orange tracer and one red with a black tracer. I have done some checking and all the ignition switches that I have been able to source have six cables.

I could do a number of things.

a. Leave the current ignition switch in and hope that it will work OK but have no steering lock and try and figure out how it was wired with the three wires.

b.Replace the igntion switch and try and figure out what the spare three wires are for. Probably a pretty slim option as I have no idea what I am doing (£50).

c. Get a replacement from Fowlers in Bristol (£150) and hope that it has only 3 wires. They have none in stock at the moment to confirm that it will be a three wire ignition.

Has anybody got a wiring diagram for a CB400 SF import or has anybody had any experience of doing this job. At the moment I am stuck and may need to go down the insurance route as this is already costing me a fortune.

May or may not be helpful but ive been fannying about with my c90's ignition as that was knackered and the ignition switch has more wires going into the connector block (8 wires) than the wires coming out of the loom (5 wires). So theres a possibility that you dont always need all the wires.

I can get you a new or used switch from Japan if you like but it wouldn't get here for a few weeks.
