Anyone have some experience with this?
I've seen a few sites stating it can be done with some rewiring, but they never show how its done.

Curious to see if any of you have done this or care to lend a hand with it?
Thanks all, appreciate it!

Is there a reason for getting the 6-pin ignition switch? A 4-pin might still be available. emgo & maybe oem.

For wiring diagrams here's a link that has been posted by 650ed & rstnick. KZ650.Info site
The B1 seems to be the only 650 model with a 4-wire ignition switch. The others have 6 wires.

Well when i originally bought this one from Ebay, it said it would fit in the chart.
Then when it arrived, way in the description it mentioned that to make it work with 4 pin it will need some rewiring
Guess it was bought on accident. Plus it was only $15

Did the listing say it will fit both 4-prong & 6-prong connectors? Some ignition switches seem to be listed as being compatible with both types. I'm thinking it might work if you just plug it in. swap connectors if necessary. ???

Z1Enterprises.com --- Emgo 40-80600 ... from the description. "Fits both 4-pin and 6-pin connector blocks."

hmmmm.. let me give this a go.
the "This switch WILL work but may require a little electrical "surgery"."
threw me off a bit, but maybe thats pertaining to just the 5pin

I don't know how you should proceed. From the wiring diagrams for the B1 & C1, it seems pretty obvious that one of the white wires won't be needed as the white power wire from the wire harness is split just before the connector & the 2 white wires are from the same 20A fuse. The B1 doesn't seem to have a hazard function, so I guess the green wire isn't used either. ???

On the new switch I'm assuming: white wires = power (20A fuse). red = tail light. blue = turn signals. green = hazard circuit. brown = sensor wire & brown wire circuit.

That's what i was noticing as well. But being this is one of my first times tracing wires around, i wasn't sure if i was correct or not.
I'll double check my battery and everything.
But by comparison looks like it should almost just plug in and work.
