Sounds like some good home work... If this does work I would be interested in the left side housing.. Good job, let us know !Bigbore4 said:I did this mod on my FJR, and I have been researching for the Super Tenere. I had a colleague in Oz bring me up a left side switch from a salvage yard on a business trip. It was not plug and play but simple enough, the space for the switch was in the US housing, I installed the switch and solded the leads in parallell with the high beam circuit. Not the way the Eu and Oz bikes were wired, but it works.
Problem here is not enough Super Tenere's out yet, and I doubt enough of them have been wadded to fill the salvage yards. I sent a PM to Swagger, but he has not been active for a while, anyone heard from him? What I was after was someone to go look at other volume Yamaha product and find the same swith on a higher volume model. US R1 has same switch as US Super Tenere. How about EU? Plenty of R1's in Salvage.
So, listen up EU and Oz riders, take a look at your friends other Yamaha product or swing past your dealer, what else uses the same switch as the Super Tenere.
I did research both the EU and US wiring diagrams. The connector seems to be the same, the pin outs seem to be the same except for the flash to pass wire. The flash to pass, one connection is downstream from the connector. It appears to be just a splice though, I was planning to make that splice in the EU switch harness upstream from the connector. Need to see some hard parts! The flasher connections are all done inside the switch housing.
Plan was to get it all defined and then post away, figured I would jump in and share what I know so far after reading this thread. I am going to ask my dealer to squeeze Yamaha for the EU part, or hopefully one of the dealers on here can. If yes, let's put together a group buy, get volume up and price down.
