Yamaha R1 5JJ 2001

Slight problem encountered...... Nowhere to attach the brake light switch?? Possibly because rearsets, in particular these ones are for racing? Is there anything I can do that I don't know about?

 

Gorgeous metal work Paul. Love it.

 

I’ve seen similar on other rear sets. Don’t they do a banjo (bolt) switch ...might be a universal item you can get.

 

Fit the rear set then see where you can fit the switch Paul or fetch it round to mine and I'll sort it

 

banjo bolt switch is the cure for sure. they are bloody lovely . think we could have a forum sub heading labelled love for Palos r1

 

Yeah I use a banjo switch on the blade.

Similar to this

Just need to check the thread used.

 

Thanks for the feedback @mk3golfcab @hitch @tuktuk @Selmer50mark @Gravel trap, someone on the R1 forum has suggested the same and sent me a link to this one......

I still prefer advice from my comrades on here though haha!!

So I get myself one of these......then what the fuck do I do with it??

 

Mark.....It's SORN you'll have to come to me haha

 

I'll just finish me brew and Chuck some cable ties n gaffer tape in me bag ,,,,,, get the beers ready

 

Sounds about right.......old Bodget and Scarper Ltd.

 

And to think I wasn't going to charge ya for the service

 

Just found a pic of mine.



Was a while ago bit I think I had to cut the cable and solder the wires together? Or you could use those crimp type connectors.

 

So it screws onto the end of the master cylinder??

 

Yeah, so instead of using the normal banjo bolt this goes in its place and is basically a pressure switch

 

Oh god I'm in too deep here.....I'm gonna have to send them back!!!

 

Get a grip of yourself

 

So heres the rear master cylinder

And here's it flipped over......So pressure switch screws in here?

 

Is that the line to your caliper?

 

The top picture shows it in its normal position ......So that is in line with the caliper. Why .....is that an issue?

 

No I mean is that the brake line going from your master to the caliper?
