Compatable RZV ignition switch

#1 Post by njw1967 » Sun Nov 08, 2015 9:17 am

Hi Guys
Does anyone know which ignition switches are compatable with the RZV 500R i have found this one which looks identical from a RD350 YPVS part number 1UA-82501-00
Will this fit the wiring plug looks the same and mountings

Thanks in advance for help

Regards Neil

I used an RZ350 F2 ignition switch on my 500, they are identical but you have to move one wire to a different spot. When you put them side by side you will see where the wire has to be relocated.

Early TZR switch is the same... 1KT, 2MA, 2ME, 2XT

AFAIK...Yamaha used the same switch on most bikes of that era. Only the plugs are different.

Also, you can buy a new reproduction switch that looks identical to OEM for less money than a used OEM switch. For example http://yambits.co.uk/rz500-ignition-swi ... 7cuan1s633" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I used a 1989 FZR1000 key set. As far as the ignition. You remove the pig tail from the ignition of the RZV500 and use it on the FZR1000. The helmet and seat lock are the same. You then alter your gas tank with flush mounted gas gap from the FZR1000.
