Ignition switch key

Hello so how many klicks should the key have on my 82 KZ 1000 the ignition has only off/on then push down for one more click to fork lock...thats it ...is there no accessory click.I got a key made and wondering if mayby it wasnt made right and is not going over one more notch....but the plastic ignition dash only says off on too so mayby thats all it has I can get my signal lights on the guages to light up but not the nuetral or oil light......tips appreciated.....

After u put the key in,one click right is "park",low tail lite and license lite come on.2nd position everything else comes on.At least this is how my 82 CSR works.bj

I think on mine, fully counter clockwise is OFF, rotate clockwise one click to get ON (all ON), but one more click clockwise from center is PARK where the tail lights comes on.

when you say park does your fork lock pin come out.

No, my fork lock is more crude.

Some fork lock designs have a position where the key may be pushed downward, which pushes the lock pin downward, and while pushed down, the key is turned to another position where it may be removed, leaving the forks locked.

Wouldn't rely very much on a fork lock for bike security, as most oem fork locks (aka steering locks) are easily defeated by simply forceably turning the handlebars.

Good Fortune!

Or lifting up the front wheel and setting it on a skateboard....:laugh:

My 81 KZ650 has Lock-OFF-ON-Park.
You have to push down & turn to get to Lock & Park.

Hi again ....so would it be too much to ask if anybody would mind checking if when you turn the key on you have power to 3rd,4th,5th fuse from the clutch side.Or which fuses have power in off position and on position.Are there any switches or connections that I should be checking.bout ready to give up on this thing...even changed all fuses even though they were good....

mmmmm...guess I am giving myself help ...so anyways if anybody is interested today I unhooked the ignition switch plug and jumpered a couple wires and got power to my guages which tells me its inside the ignition switch so gonna tear into it at work tonight ....but hate those plastic sealed units hope I dont bust anything...oh ya gonna check all the wires from back of ignition to plug end too....getting there slowly.....ill let you know...Den

Many wiring diagrams are available for downloading in Filebase under KZ Information (see green ribbon toward top of screen.

Select year, then model to see if there's a downloadable wiring diagram. If unavailable, a closely related model's diagram may be helpful.
