2005 Fazer Thou Ignition Barrel - What else will fit?

(1/4) > >>

old son:
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?

Dodsy:
 i tried one of these chinese ones from an ebay selller called imighthavewhaturlooking4 it fit but i what have to swop the two connectors over from my old one or try megazip genuine yamaha one think it was 170 quid shipped from japan

old son:
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.

PieEater:
When my lock starts playing up I spray a load of dry lube into the barrel through the attached straw, the liquid cleans out any crud and then evaporates leaving the dry lube in place which makes turning the ignition on much better. I wouldn't use a 'wet' lubricant because this can allow crud to stick to it and cause issues over time.

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