Hacking a GSXR ignition

Alright, here's the pics I promised... The GSXR ignition has 4 positions (from L --> R) P, LOCK, OFF, ON. It's interesting that the "park" function is only available while the head is locked... ploaded/images/gsxr_ig.jpg[/img]

Looks like they labled at least some of the wires for you. Can't make all of it out but I see Ignition and what I assume is Battery2. What do the rest say?

Hi Ron,

Sorry for not giving more details... the first two pics are the old KAW ignition... the last two pics are the GSXR ignition.

KAWI: B1, B2, IG1, IG2, TL1, TL2, TL3

GSXR: no labels

Ok, it seems very similar to the KZ ignition, just lacking a few of the connections. The 2 white wires will be battery, doesnt matter which goes where B1 & B2. IGN1 will be Yellow. It almost looks like you can swap the wires color for color. Is IGN2 connected to the brown wire?
The KZ breaks down to:
B1, B2 white
TL1 Brown
TL2 Blue
TL3 Red
TL4 is White but that would = B2 on the GSXR it looks like that wire is only used to power the P position on the key to TL5 which is Green/Orange.

Are those the same colors you have on your bike?
What you need to determine is what is conenected in the P position. On the KZ B1 should be connected to only TL3 Red, and B2/TL4 should only be connected to TL5 Green/Orange. If you take an OHM meter to the GSXR Ignition and put the key in the P position you should see 0 ohms or a closed circuit between B1 and probably the Brown wire. You should see the same between B2 and I'm guessing the Orange wire. This is all a guess so you will have to test it. Check ALL the wires just to be sure there isnt anything else that will be live in the P position. Let me know what you find. With the key ON you should find all positions are live but that one wire will only be connected to B2 and not B1 but the all the rest will be connected to B1. I'm guessing

You know I completly ignored those first 2 pictures. I'm going off a KZ1000 diagram and it looks like you have an 1100 and the wire colors are different. Do you have the factory service manual for the 1100? Or is there one up on the site? It looks like you may have different connections than me, which wouldnt be surprising since your bike is 3 or 4 years newer. The colors that are the same probably do the same functions but we'll need a diagram to be sure what's what.

Thanks for all of your help Ron,

I made a mistake... the first pics are the GSXR ignition, the last two are the Kaw 1100.

The GSXR wires are not labeled at all... I do not know what these belong to.

I ordered an Ohm meter, and I will report my findings this weekend.

In the meantime, I'll be zip-tying my Kaw ignition to my triple so that I can RIDE!!!

Can you take a picture of the contact side of the GSXR ignition?

Yeah, it's this one...
