Unfazed - thank you so much. Got them working now. If you’re ever in Glasgow I owe you a beer!

What part number is on the loom? There are subtle differences between the 1998-99 and the 2000-2001

The part number on the label should read 5DM-82590-00

The loom unfortunately has no part number on it. It's a second hand one from eBay and obviously had the sticker removed at somepoint... 

That connector is a classic type of Yamaha relay connector and is only on the Foxeye model. Only relays I know of on the Boxeye are the Flasher relay which is a 2 pin relay and the Pump Relay which in enclosed in the Starter Cut out Box  which has 10 or 11 wires in the plug.
When you plugged in the connector to the Alternator did it plug straight in or did you have to change the connector?How many wires in the connector to the fuel tank? The Foxeye has 2 and the Boxeye has 3

What does this type of (5 wire) relay do on the bike? The new (suspected foxeye) loom also has a 2 wire relay connector that I can connect the flasher relay from the old loom.


Would sticking a relay of the end of that connector solve the issue?

Thanks for reply.


No connectors changed whatsoever.


3 wires in the connector to fuel tank
(3 wires from loom and 3 wires from the wired-in tank connector)

Hi folks,

Recently replaced wiring loom on my ‘99 FZS600 after having to remove a faulty immobiliser from the old one (was a right mess).

Everything seems to be working as it should apart from the indicators.

I’ve also ended up with an extra connector on the loom with apparently nowhere to plug it in (see image)

I’ve connected a test light between + on the battery and the brown/red wire on the connector which produces a flashing light when I operate the indicator switch but nothing on the indicator lamps themselves. I’ve tested all the bulbs and they’re all good.

I stupidly didn’t take any notes or photos of the old loom in place (lesson learned…) and would quite like to get this sorted without having to take it to the garage with my tail between my legs 🙈.

The loom I bought (2nd hand on eBay) said it was for my bike and had been tested.

Any ideas?
