Okay, reorganizing this to make it more to the point...
I'm trying to replace the ignition switch on an 06 fz6 with an ignition from an 07. I checked compatibility on several parts websites, and they claimed them to be compatible. However, the used ignition I bought had been cut and so I need to solder the wires from the 07 ignition to the wires that are sticking out of my bike where my old ignition used to be. The wires are not the same however, and I'm hoping someone could tell me what I need to do here.
Old ignition wires: brown, red, orange, blue/yellow tracer, blue/black tracer
New ignition wires: red, orange, brown/red tracer, brown/blue tracer
Since parts stores are selling the 07+ ignition for 04-06 models, I assume there's a way to get it working. I'd like to avoid as much random guessing as I can I was going to try comparing the wiring charts of the two, but I can't make sense of the 06 one, as it shows only 4 wires and the colors are not right either.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
