Motorcycle ignition replacement on a R6 with a lost key.

[@Brazilwill21]

Great video to help an amateur with changing his lock instead of paying $285 for Yamaha to make 2 keys

[@justthetipgarage5305]

That’s the goal

[@Heroesworkshop]

Hi. I hope you see this but what if the ignition is turned into the "locked" position? Can I still remove the top tree mount with the ignition module? Or with it being Locked create an issue? Thank you.

[@justthetipgarage5305]

Nope. Even if it’s locked this will work just fine

[@Heroesworkshop]

@@justthetipgarage5305 THANK YOU!

With the replacement from Amazon, did it come with a key?

[@justthetipgarage5305]

@@KeithJenkinsJr yup

[@jacoblapointe8181]

Haha funny thing… I have the key… the ignition switch pins are just welded by rust for some “unknown “ reason lol.. gotta swap it .. I just can’t wait for the time the switch comes in. Feels like too many good days I could be riding instead of sitting and watching other guys on their bikes pass by… sigh…. I fucking looove riding… it’s my one and only drug

[@justthetipgarage5305]

Yup I hear ya man. Maybe a bunch of rust penetrant down in the key hole? Can’t hurt. And might free it up.

[@andykrupinski5808]

What is the ignition switch name on amazon. I need the all 3 pieces. But cant find one that actually fits. I have sane model bike and year. Please respond

[@justthetipgarage5305]

Just type in your year and model bike and ignition switch into Amazon. For example 2003 Yamaha r6 ignition switch. It’ll tell you which ones fit.

[@rafal6016]

Hello mate, very nice video! I bought exactly the same model 03' R6 but someone previously bypassed the immobilizer so the bike starts. However it drains my battery badly, if I buy new ignition like you, ECU doesn't need to be reprogrammed?

[@justthetipgarage5305]

Nope, wouldn’t need reprogrammed at all.

[@agarweny3042]

@@justthetipgarage5305 did you had immobilizer fitted on this bike or you are in US as these models doesn't have it ?

[@justthetipgarage5305]

The US my friend.

[@JPH2OGaming]

Would this work on a 2003? What year is the bike in the video?

[@justthetipgarage5305]

The bike I’m the video is a 2003 so yes.

[@Bike_lyfe]

What’s the plug with the 2 blue wires for please can’t find out no where

[@justthetipgarage5305]

Honestly it’s part of the harness and I didn’t test it, my guess is probably power to lights or something, with heavier gauge wire to the starter.

[@julianurrutia1389]

Is it the same for a 2012 yamaha r6

[@justthetipgarage5305]

Probably similar but not the exact same. I’ve never looked into it

[@georgenguyen8907]

Was the bike in steering lock?

[@justthetipgarage5305]

It was not. Although even if it was you’d still be able to do this.

[@OptimallFilms]

@@justthetipgarage5305 so far i am not able to do this as mine is in steering lock, the triple clamp won’t come off

[@justthetipgarage5305]

@@OptimallFilms drill the lock and get it out of steering lock. Going to replace the lock anyway.

[@LombardCash]

Thank you answered my question, I lost my key as well

[@alexchoma1603]

What was the size of the bolt that you cut out was it an M8 or M6 1.25!?

[@justthetipgarage5305]

I have no idea.

[@yucker710]

What year r6 is this

[@justthetipgarage5305]
