Please pass this info through PMs beacause this could be a great way for theives to learn too.

Mods, do you agree?

Thanks guys

 

Agreed and good thinking :thumbup...I know how to remove ignition. What I'm trying to figure out is what race teams use in place of a ignition key.

 

Edit... PM sent... since thieves could find this useful :shake

 

To your previous post, I'm not sure how race bikes/track bikes go about replacing the ignition key assembly. Is it a switch or button. I looked on Google for pictures of race bikes to see if they had some kind of switch etc...what I found was bikes with multiple buttons etc, but no switches.

 

I deleted my post just in case, but I think any reasonable thief could download and read the wiring diagram and figure it out.

 

Also this is a track bike with race body work, so no headlight or kickstand

 

I hear you...you may have this already but here is a link to the 500+ page service manual for our 2009 R1, which I believe has the wiring diagram for the ignition. Hope this will help!

My 09 R6 has a 3-way toggle switch that replaces the ignition. I'll take pictures of it and post them later. It's a pretty simply modification.

 

Thanks Paytheon...look forward to seeing the picture. If you can also share how you wired it to the three way toggle switch that would be much appreciated.

I too want to do this and need some direction. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I can't start my bike now. It just cranks....

 

Ok...found this thread which seems to do a good job of explaining how to rewire the ignition so it runs off of the kill switch on the throttle side. Its on an R6 but I imagine the wiring is same. The only thing I'm concerned about is that the ECU wire has some kind of resistor that needs to be in place to make this work.

If you manage to do it ill gladly buy that complete lock set with key off of you lol?

 

It's done and done, if u want it I have a complete fuel cap, ecu, oem wiring harness and keys for sale...make an offer.

 

What did you wind up doing? PM details if you'd like please.


Thanks.

 

There are 2 ways to set this up the first way is with a toggle switch placed any were you wish, the other way is to set it up so it goes on and off using your stop/run switch.
The first thing you will need to buy is the MAIN SWITCH STEERING part #2635545 find one that’s unusable you don’t need the key part just the wire and connector.

Next you will have to cut the wires closest to the ignition. You will see 5 wires inside, find the brown wire and get rid of it completely. Next you want to find the 2 thin wires and connect them together using solder or tape if you want.

The remaining 2 wires are what you will hook your switch up to that’s it. Put the switch were ever you want.

For the other way using the engine cutoff switch I have to look at the wire diagram again but you repeat all the same steps as above just tie up the 2 small wires together and tie the 2 big wires together and get rid of the brown wire. Then you have to go into the main harness and make a connection, let me look right now.

 

I have the YEC ecu and wiring harness, there is no key on that setup.

 

Please send me this information for the keyless ignition. I'm doing it to my 09 R1 track bike. I've made my own wires for the switch. I replaced the one white plug but there are a few more wires which I don't know what they are plugging into something else. I want to think it's a ground but it's a few wires not just one. When I use my new home made wires it's able to power the dash but won't turn over the engine. So I removed the triple tree to get to the bottom of the ignition where it bolts onto the tree. I am attempting to open it up and try to figure something out but I'll wait for a response from you. If you want to call/text me for pictures my number is 908-413-2312 thanks for any info.
