If possible, get the circuit diagram and test the ignition switch disconnected with a multimeter or continuity tester. Also, worth mentioning the year of your bike as I'm thinking there may be a few variants of YBR over the years
Pissing about with the wiring like that is fine if you need to get somewhere in a hurry but you have done half the work for someone to hotwire and steal it... ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Just finished sorting this YBR and strapping the B & B/W wires together has no negative effect as far as I can see.
The bike starts and runs etc normally.
No side stand switch of course, never worked since he had it and pointed it to him ages ago, but the guy says he can live without so I left it be.
I got me crayons out and coloured some stuff in .....
It's largely accurate and might help but I found some mismatches mainly due to aftermarket stuff

Ahhh... that is lovely, everything is so much easier with a circuit diagram. Nice to know the "bodge" wiring doesn't actually compromise security.
The side stand switch (or more accurately a chaffed cable to the switch) went wrong a while back on my bike. Obs I bypassed it before I figured out the actual problem... wasn't that bothered with fixing it till I almost pulled away with the side stand still down... sorted it the next weekend.

Yeah well, I'm a n00b so I'm bound to make mistakes. Forgetting to turn off the indicators is probably number one but I'm getting there.
When I repaired the cable I re-ran it in such a way as to have the connector plug accessible without tearing off panels then I made a bypass connector to keep with my tool roll ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I have replied to the OP personally now.
For future readers, there shouldn't be a consequence of connecting the black/white wire to the black; however my fix with a relay was meant to simulate proper functioning of both switching components in the ignition barrel; such that the ECU would never know the difference.
Can confirm the fix is still in place and working after 5 years. If you're going to use a relay, don't cut the RED wire, splice onto it by cutting away the insulation, this is less likely to cause issues.
Also, use a decent quality waterproof automotive relay, as it will outlast the bike. ____________________ Current Bike: 2008 Yamaha YBR 125 |
