srad34 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hi all, Bought an aftermarket switch from tinterweb for the ZXR and now it just turns over and won't fire. (the original dodgy one does). On reading up, the OEM ones have a resistor in the switch as some kind of anti theft device (known as the infamous greay wire). My question is can you bypass this or do I need to solder in a 100ohm resistor between the switch and the CDI? Any thoughts would be appreciated chaps....

srad34 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Just inline between the switch and the cdi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srad34 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well, sorted it. as the key not turning was he problem, I removed the barrel from the new aftermarket ignition switch and fitted it to the OEM switch with the resistor in it. So I have 2 keys and working barrel...taadaaaa* *Separate key for the fuel cap but easily sorted with a spin on type effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
