Damaged top yoke - SV650.org

rictus01 · 13-03-11, 08:43 PM

As some may know, the S4 was subject to an attempted theft a couple of weeks ago, having changed the LH switchgear already and reattached the torn out wiring, it left a broken ignition lock and top yoke.

Today I changed the yoke for a secondhand part and switched the barrel on the lock to retain the same key, so total cost has been £40, not bad all things considered.

Anyway, here's what kicking off a steering lock will do

Amazing what a big amount of damage such a little d**k can do.

Glad you've got it sorted for a reasonable amount.

I think this further shows the value of a large D lock. For battering their f***ing heads to a pulp with if you were to catch them at it...

Sell that to someone who has a race wiring loom. £15 quid back too.
