- My beloved 2007 Suzuki V-Strom was stolen one night, but the would-be thieves tried and failed at hotwiring it. A few days later it was discovered streets away from the house.
This is the story of fixing the only damage to the recovered bike: the ignition barrel and wiring, and then changing the other locks so it all operates on the new key. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Hey mate,
I just bought a roadworthy 2005 strom 650, with a busted ignition.
You’ve made this job much easier for me! I was going to drill out the security screws on the ignition haha, as most tutorials show.
Instead, I went to bunnings and grabbed that exact Torx bit, 5 min job with a ratchet!
Now I’ll be able to enjoy this 650 I bought for $900!
Only difference is the thieves that tried to steal this one had angle cut most of the “barrel holder” part of the triple clamp, then fled after botching it+key barrel. So will get a triple clamp with key set.
TYSM for documenting this well!
I just replaced the 3 locksets on my son's SV650S last week. After 2 locksets later,... (I ordered the wrong one first.) The wrong one had 6 wire plug and the correct one has 4 wires. It feels really good not having to wiggle and jiggle the ignit key to get in to turn.
Well done! Did you find one with a matching loom socket as well? Might be good to share the link!
Thanks and Well done.
G'Day Craigo , may those thief buggers burn in flames "down below ".However I wish to thank you for your determination to make sure your "beloved V Strom" rides again! 10 out of 10 for the " will not the bastards win " category.I have , recently purchased a DL 650 A 2012 with some extras , already on it, hence anything associated with a solid bike like that is of interest ,m for sure, aso keep on it bloke.These words come from the hills area Perth ,WA. So much wanna visit the apple isle as a good mate of mine is a "devil" type , originally hails from Hobart area.
Have now subscribed to " watch " other "adventures of Craigo and Offspring.I really think you have a good opportunity to keep us posted on all things Tassie / Motorbike wise etc.Might get there this year, but gotta "sell a kidney" to raise the funds ( joke of course.Eugene ( a Scot , lucky enuff to live in OZ.
Thanks Eugene 😊
Hi i G'day Craigo do following thanks you but i got one spare red wire coming from motorbike (2 red wires coming from motobike are them have to be conneted to the one red amazon ignition barrel wire?)thank you
How did you get the bars out of the lock position with out the key?
Fortunately I don't use the lock position. But once you drop the barrel out it should be fine to move around again, same thing on a different angle, I'm thinking
how much did it cost to get the ignition barrel and key cost?
It was about 150aud on Amazon, because I also got the fuel tank and seat key locks at the same time
Hi G'day Craigo in video original ignition barrel got 2 red wires and amazon one got just only one red wire. So amazon ignition barrel one red wire has to be connected to two red wires?thanks
Hi John! I made a wiring chart (at 4:25). Mine had a red and orange original wire. Red was batt hot and orange was the starter circuit. My recommendation is to follow the chart and work out equivalent connection with that. All the best!
Hi i G'day Craigo do following you but i got one spare red wire coming from motorbike (2 red wires coming from motobike are them have to be vonneted to the one amazon ignition barrel wire?)thank you
Hey John, I think you might need to test them - is there constant or switched power coming from one or both of them?
Hi G'day Craigo got same bike happend same situation like yours in your video old harness got 2 red wires and new harness got one red wire(what did you do with old harness 2red wires?did you connct them both to new harness one red wire?thank you
How did you know what ECU ect colours were what coming from your motorcycle
I pulled them off a couple of forums (to double check) then mapped the colours together on the chart that's included in the video.
I double checked all the wires with a multimeter for the circuits that could be tested on each
Do yours match?
Why not just trace the connection box and save so meany connections and risk problems in the future
Yeah I guess that could work with a proper length wiring harness, except the new key barrel only had about 100mm of lead so I had to connect it around there anyway
