Parts Needed:
- 2001 R1 instrument cluster
- 2001 R1 upper harness (The one the headlights attach to)
- 2001 R1 temp sensor
- GS101202 Cherry speed sensor. (I got mine from Digikey)
- 1K ohm resistor (Radio Shack or Digikey)

Here are the RZ wire we will be using:
L/W - Meter lights
Sb - Neutral light
Ch - Left Trun Signal
Dg - Right Turn Signal
B/R - Oil Level
Br - Switched 12v
B - Ground
Y - High Beam light
R - Unswitched 12v
W/G - Speedometer Reed switch
W/G - Exciter
- Speedometer
The first item up is mounting the speed sensor. You will have to fabricate a bracket and position the sensor like this:
- Connect the speed sensor black wire (output) to the W wire of the R1 harness and to the W/G speedo reed switch wire of the RZ harness. (not the W/G wire of the CDI exciter) This is to attempt to retain the original operation of the turn signal canceling unit.
- Connect the speed sensor blue wire to ground.
- Connect the speed sensor brown wire to the L/Y wire of the R1 harness.
- Tachometer
- Find the W/G wire that comes out of the wiring harnes from the flywheel on the RZ. There is a connector with both W/R and W/G wires right where it joins the main harness.
- Splice into the W/G wire and connect it to the Y/B wire on the R1 harness.
- Indicator Lights
- Connect the RZ Sb wire to the R1 Sb/W wire. (Nuetral switch)
- Connect the RZ Ch wire to the R1 Ch wire. (Left turn)
- Connect the RZ Dg wire to the R1 Dg wire. (Right turn)
- On a RZ that uses premix, connect the R1 B/R wire to ground. If you have an oil tank, connect the R1 B/R wire to a Normaly Closed relay (to ground) and wire the RZ oil sender to Open the relay.
- Connect the R1 G/W wire to the 1K ohm resistor and then connect the resistor to ground. This will effectively disable the fuel light on the R1 cluster.
- Connect the R1 Y wire to the same place the RZ cluster connected it's Y wire near the headlight connector. (High Beam light)
- Power
- Connect an RZ Br wire (several to choose from) to the R1 Br wire. (Switched 12v)
- Splice into the RZ R wire just below the ingition switch connector and connect it to the R1 R/G wire. (Unswitched 12v) If you are running a BattPac or something similar, then you can connect this wire to a Br wire on the RZ. You will loose the ability to keep trip meters and use the clock function of the cluster though.
- Connect the RZ L/W wire to the R1 L wire. (meter back lights)
- Connect an RZ B wire (again, several to choose from) to the R1 B wire. (Switched 12v)
- Temp Sensor
I left the R1 temp sensor wires intact. There was enough length to reach the top of the cylinder head and still be able to plug the R1 harness into the cluster. The R1 temp sensor is a direct bolt in to the RZ's head. Just remove the original RZ temp sensor and install the R1 temp sensor in it's place.
2001 R1 cluster - $125.00 (eBay)
2001 R1 temp sensor - $26.00 (Motogrid - Yamaham)
2001 R1 upper wiring harness - $20.00 (eBay)
Cherry Speed Sensor - $36.00 (Digikey)
Misc wire and connectors - ~$10.00
Total $197.00
Not bad, IMHO, for a nice compact light weight modern instrument cluster for your RZ. Especially for those of you fitting late model front ends that don't have speedo gears.
