chrisp Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I've just bought a DT175 1G1, the ignition switch has been rogered at some point in the past (the key will come out even in the "on" position. There are no pattern parts available, as anyone with a DT175, 250 or 400 will tell you! Does anyone know of anyone who can repair ignition switches? Or does anyone have one for sale? Thanks, Chris.

I have no idea why no-one makes a pattern part, there are loads of people who want this switch, it's the same as the DT250 type 512 and DT400 type 513.

JimR Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 It has two connectors with 11 wires in total, a weird one! That is not odd .. just the way they were !!!! If you just need a barrel replacement do the following 1) find a Yamaha main switch that has the same amount of key positions 2) remove the 2 screws from the base and remove the base plate 3) check that the new barrel connects the correct wires in the correct switch position from your new base plate 4) If base plate is not avalible then wire the switch to suit .... in this instance I would guess the base plate will need to be modified (the AC & DC for some reason ran through the main switch) but to be correct it would not be difficult to do !!!

nayruf Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I've just bought a DT175 1G1, the ignition switch has been rogered at some point in the past (the key will come out even in the "on" position. There are no pattern parts available, as anyone with a DT175, 250 or 400 will tell you! Does anyone know of anyone who can repair ignition switches? Or does anyone have one for sale? Thanks, Chris. Hi Chris My 1G1 is the same, But because all the locks match and the same key fits them I just link the key to the X bar on the handle bar in case the key bounces out, I have with my last DT 1G1 stripped the lock right down to the plastic plate with the contact rivets, if I could find another lock with a less worn key hole I might try to swap around the internal mechanisms to come up with a less worn lock and retain the same key, I don’t want to mess up the originality of the locks so I will only try it when I get more bottle or when the lock finally gives up and I am left with no choice, if you find a reliable fix please post it, If I find a way out will also post it, Nayruf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
