Bugger, I took the 10% discount. Still, much cheaper than Yamaha dealers.

Hi Dodsy, I have just checked the Megazip site and I think my ignition barrel is $205 plus delivery to UK. How much was your delivery cost?


What year is your bike, is it a Thou and can you turn the lights off or are they on all the time and you can dip/main beam only?


Lastly, do you know how many wires you have coming out of the barrel, I think I should have two plugs, one with 2 wires and one with 5 wires.


Thanks

I've looked at the wiring diagram on this site and the 2003 Fazer 1000 diagram seems to show 2 outputs,  4 wires and 1 wire. Am I right in thinking this would equate to 2 wires and 5 wires with an earth wire in each output?


I was directed to a lockset on eBay. That seems to have two wires and three wires?? The guy said his bike was converted to run on two lights?? It sounds like I need to avoid but I want to know how many wires I need in my replacement ignition barrel. I think 2 plus 5. Am I right?

Can I ask a question please. My 04 Fazer does not have  switch for turning off the lights. They come on when I start the bike and I can turn on high beam. Am I correct to say the ignition barrel I want has two plugs, one with 2 wires and one with 5 wires. Thanks

b1k3rdude, you amaze me. I have been looking for ignition barrels on eBay for a week and could not find anything. I even looked at other eBay sites.


I checked the Chinese ones and they are not wired correctly, I need two plus, one has 2 wires and the other has 5 wires. I think that is for the lighting, I cant turn the lights off, they are on dip all the time.


I have messaged the lockset advert, I'm a bit worried the ignition barrel is stiff, was that the reason it was provided as a spare when the bike was bought? Its expensive if the lock is no better than mine.


Thank you for your input, much appreciated.

Thanks PieEater. I’ll give that a go. I’ve got some Wurth Dry Chain Lube.

Dodsy, thanks for letting me know. Did you buy the switch? Is it still working?


I can get mine to work if I wiggle as I turn. I've made a cover that fits over the switch to protect is from the weather when I park up.

My ignition barrel is pretty shot and I've put an wanted topic in For Sale and Wanted.


Are there any other barrels that will fit? I've got R1 forks on my bike. The ignition lock only works when the steering is dead ahead. Does that mean an R1 lock might fit?

My key is finding it harder and harder to switch on my ignition. I have tried lubrication with a drop of chain lube but its not made much difference. The key works fine in the fuel cap and seat lock. I think it is just worn out, the bike has done 119k miles.


Does anybody have a spare they are willing to sell? I accept keys wont match but that is not the end of the world, I'd sooner have a reliable bike.


Many thanks

Where the the strap goes around the back of the steering stock it should then be a straight connection to the clip my lady sewed on. She sewed it on at right angles to the edge of the cover but it should have been sewn on at about 80 degrees so when it is connected to the strap around the steering stick it is not straight, it’s slightly linked. Also the new clip is not really close enough to the cover so the clip is almost hidden at the rear of the steering stock. Not a problem but it make pulling it tight more difficult. Really silly issues and my fault.

My fault, I didn’t think about it until I put the cover back😤

Update - Received the new clip and strap. The lady who sewed it to the cover has sewed it at right angles to the end rather than slightly to one side so the strap is not laying flat to the steering stock. Much safer than it was and I'm not going to take it off and do it again!!

I’ve ordered a new clip with a length of strap moulded to it for just under £10 from Bagster.

Thanks to those that responded.

Hi Robbo, thank you for this information. I can’t see anything on the website but will take some measurements, provide some sizes and write to them both and ask the question. I am also going to write to Bagalux to see if they are willing to sell me one 👍

Hi Gaz, I did buy some new nylon strap but the problem I have is the plastic clip that is used to secure the other end of the strap is moulded to the nylon that is stitched to the cover. I really need to find where I can buy a new clip that I could fit to my new strap then get the new strap stitched to the cover. I don’t know where to look for a new clip.

The top strap has just broken on my blue tank cover and it is not repairable.

Does anybody have one the are not using. It needs to be in good condition please.

I've put this in the wanted section as well.

Thanks

The garage is centrally heated. I don’t use a pressure washer. The lens is currently dry. I use the bike most days, it has 117k miles on it and still going strong. It’s not a massive issue and certainly not something I am too worried about. Maybe I need to drill a hole although it’s 19 years old now and only recently started misting.

Excellent, thanks for the tip. I have used Gorilla Glue and left it 48hours. If that don't work I will try JB Weld
