The switchblocks on the handlebar looked tired on my bike, not surprisingly. Found a very similar (and affordable) set on Ali [ https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32899338822.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.435.6a4a1802d1IkEF ]. Recently installed it, and I would like to share my experience, for other owners, who wants to try it.- The connectors aren't the same. I bought new connectors on Ali, very cheap, I needed 2 pin (black coloured), 6 pin and 9 pin "2.8 mm" connector sets (white coloured), usually sold in 5 or 10 pcs in a bag, male and female versions. For example: [ https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001774997442.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000014.4.89e4slEGslEGAw ] These connectors are widespread on motorcycles.Using a multimeter and the factory wiring diagram I identified which wire goes where. The chinese swiches wired differently, they joined certain 12V and ground wires, which in theory could be OK, but the wires are thin, so I decided to make the wiring exactly the same as the originals. I had to add 2 extra wires per side, and separate some joined wires. The cluch switch connector must be changed to the new 2 pin black connector, the front brake switch connector remains as it is (I soldered over the crimping, to be honest I soldered over every crimped joints).
- The switch internals are good quality! That was a surprise, for the price. It's true, the Yamaha originals have metal tabs to hold the individual parts inside, but the the switches themselves are plastic. The aftermarked switches are built a little differently inside, no metal tabs, but they seemed good quality, I think they will work for a long time. Time will tell.- The new switches has positioning tabs, like the originals, and fit in the same position on the hadlebar.
- The new left switchblock has no choke lever, but it has a hazard lights button, I liked that, so installed a button on the choke directly on the left carburetor, and deleted the original remote choke lever.- I installed the switches, they work well, the hazard lights are working perfectly with the original flasher relay (bought an electronic one, just in case, but not needed)

Last year I bought a new seat cover from Sitzfleisch, because mine had a little tear. The time has came to install it, and at the same time raised the front of the foam a little with adding seat foam from a scrapped car seat. This is easier said than done... Don't like to slip forward while riding, that's my reason for this. Did the work, next was installing the cover, which is a quality product, I recommend them (not affiliated). There's 3 versions of seat covers, normal, comfort, diamond. https://www.sitzfleisch.eu/products/yamaha-fzs600-fazer-bezug?variant=46653637558597 I bought the comfort version.

Hello All,
I forgot to take photos while disassembled the bike, now I don't know where went the two rubber hoses, which comes from the fuel tank. I know theres a black rubber funnel on the later bikes, but mines is the old one, with two longish, separate hoses plugged into the bottom of the tank, and they go towards the ground...somewhere. So, anybody has some photos, or can explain it, where to route these, please? Left, right, between the carbs, or? Also, I'm not sure about the two overflow hoses of the carbs, too... these are too short, to reach below the swingarm.... any ideas?
Thank you in advance!
