❤this is super helpful I'm looking to relocate mine on a 125 scooter recently stolen but a rare bike so cannot find a new ignition for it as they only made the bike for one year
I took my 79 xs650 special for a ride and noticed when I returned that the key was missing from the ignition. I was rather flummoxed about this as that was my only key. I noticed that a series of numbers were on the face of the lock, so I took these to my lock smith where they had a blank key for the xs650 . They looked in a book and found a proper code in which to cut a new key. The new key would operate the ignition, seat lock and helmet lock but not the gas cap. I found I could pry up the gas cap enough to get the fasteners out, after that I removed the tumblers and used the gas cap normally but without the security of a proper key. I don’t know if this works for everyone but I feel lucky that it worked for me, good luck. 7:22
I wonder why your new key didn't work in your fuel cap ? I needed one for my SR500 The local locksmith had to order in the correct type of blank Yamaha key and took the number from my old damaged key When I went back he had received the blank key and cut it accordingly to information he'd gotten off the internet relative to the number from my original key and my new key was waiting to be picked up and worked on ignition fuel cap helmet lock and side cover lock
It’s actually blue and brown boss or if it’s not working for you just trying the wire to wire to test it it’s still not getting spark to kit it over try switching the wires or hooking up a good battery cuz the coils are 12v
I’m not sure if this would work on my bike. It’s a 1979 yamaha special 850. Three carb three cylinder with a kickstarter and a push button start. I found a small switch on the left side and have no idea if it’s for lights or a kill switch. Never had a bike but ridden many. So I’m excited to get this one running and ride it
A dodgy-switch can damage your charging system on the old models . i'm experiencing the 'joys' of sorting-out charging, wiring etc. on an old 73TX . We don't have any suppliers in NZ for this kind of thing, not even oil-filters , so video's like yours are handy . A kwaka W650 is cheaper here, than a 'Sorted' XS-TX-650 . Dave NZ
I feel your pain trying to find parts around here can be a challenge to. I use a lot of toggle switches on a lot of my older motorcycles. Trying to find it on original key switch can be a daunting challenge. Thanks for watching.
Hello my good friend. My name's Jonathan and I'm a big fan of your channel an even more so if ur knowledge. I appreciate u taking the time to go over my comment an helping me out. So let me. I have a 1999 Honda CBR929RR and the ignition has gone out in it I was wondering if you could maybe tell me or draw a diagram for me of how I can bypass it and add a toggle switch to. That would be awesome brother. Thank u so much.
Well I've looked for a decent wiring diagram but I can't seem to find one online without buying the manual. I don't know that much about your bike but I'll keep looking and see if I can come up with something.
Bought a zzr 600 he lost the key so it starts with a toggle switch the only thing I can’t park and go into a shop or the bike will be stolen I have the ignition out would I be better off going to a lock smith and getting a key cut for the ignition and reconnect it so il also have the steering lock again 👍
Well going to a locksmith would solve your problem hopefully you'd also be able to open the fuel tank cap. I've also noticed on eBay that for about 29 bucks you get an ignition switch with key and gas cap. You could always buy a rotor lock when nobody's going to steal your bike then. So thanks for watching, Hope you figure out your problem.
hello, I just started restoring an 82 650 heritage special and noticed that there is nothing on the side stand that comes close to activating the side stand switch looks like something is missing, but not sure what. Please help
You don't need the side stand switch the bike will start and run fine without it. That was only put there for a safety reason for dumbasses that didn't put the bike in neutral when starting. Hence that's where we have a neutral light. Thanks for watching

Good luck with your project, we're out to save our favorite vehicle! Thanks for watching
A good locksmith can pick the lock with a key decoder and cut a new key, if you can afford it and want to keep it all original.
I prefer a toggle switch that I can hide much easier to replace much easier to hide. Thanks for watching.

Or it depends on the year too but you knew that.

You it may be hand warmers on . I found a hidden switch on the KLR and that's what it for.... Thanks for watching.

Can you please make a video about Kmx 125 switch wiring

Thanks for watching.

@@outlaw86custom thank you, thought it was there so dumbasses don`t forget to put their kickstand up. which I have done in the past. lol
Could I pull the ignition off of a parts bike and plug it right in?
Sure , just make sure your wiring is same. I am assuming this is off another xs650? Thanks for watching!
Interesting
It's all interesting and thanks for watching.
Do I have to change the ignition module
No this is power on , power off switch... thanks for watching.
I went to a dealer an got one the guy had them behind the counter vin # is al needed $5
I've tried that before but our dealer was not that helpful.
Will this work with my 2003 ccm R30 ?
I don't know that much about the CCMs but if it's a three-wire ignition switch system I don't see why it would work. Thanks for watching.
