Hi guys,
I've got a quick question regarding ignition modules. I picked up a 2008 fz1 which has turned out to be a US import that doesn't have the YISS immobiliser in the ignition. I still have my UK standard 2006 Cat D insurance write off which does have the standard immobiliser.. can I just take the top yoke + ignition barrel from that bike and put it on the 2008 import? Are the immobilisers/key barrels locked to the ecu? Or will it just work switching over to the other ignition module. (I realise I'd also need to switch over the petrol cap and seat lock.)
I'm considering giving the bike back to the guy who sold it to me as he never mentioned the bike was an import and it also seems to have a non uk headlight. Costing up what it'll cost me to convert at the moment so knowing if this would work for sure would be really useful to me in deciding whether or not to keep it!
The only other thing which is quite minor is the full beam/dipped beam switch, I didn't realise the american model doesn't have the flasher switch behind the module.. does anybody know if the wiring should just work if I switch that over too from the old bike?
