Hotwired CBR600
My old streetfighter cbr600 was stolen last night. I've got it back and they've pulled the headlight off, looks like they've broken the back of the ignition off and pulled one thick black wire out. All the other wires seem to be intact. How tricky is this going to be to fix, is it a case of just dismantling the ignition and reattaching the wires? I cant really afford to take it to a garage!

Re: Hotwired CBR600
A up mate sorry to here about your bike. Hope they got/get the bastards. Mine was stolen about a month ago and the idiots rammed a screw driver in the barrel to try and get it started. Was talking to a bloke who runs a motorcycle shop he said that it's only Kawasaki ingnitions you can strip down? Worth a go tho mate what's the worst that can happen? I got a new ignition switch off ebay and just conected it up. Dunno if it the same for a cbr though. Costs about £50 tho for a new switch for mine :/ and ya have to carry 2 keys around. but takes about 30-60 mins on the thunder cat to fit as ya have to drill the screws out that hold it on. So have to take the top yoke off. Might be different on a cbr I have no idea. Just sharing my experience realy.

Yeah I bought a new ignition in the end which just plugs in. Still won't fire up though, not quite sure whats wrongwith it. Think I'll prob have to push it to the garage on pay day and get them to have a look

Re: Hotwired CBR600
Hmmm mine does a weird thing now since I changed the switch ya have to hold the clutch in to start even when it's running if ya let the clutch out it cuts out however if ya get on it and flick the side stand up it starts and runs.....less ya put the props stand down which case it cuts out :/
