easy way to wire up 06-07 gsxr handlebar switches??

No, but it's easy enough to figure out with a multimeter. That's all I had and it didn't take long to get it all wired up properly.
 
They're all just switches, either momentary on/off or latching. Use the continuity setting, stick one probe in 1 wire, then test all the other wires and switches 1 at a time until the tester beeps. Mark those wires and the switch. Repeat for all switches and remaining wires.

Alternatively, open the control up and test the wires while you can see where they go.
 
i found the wiring diagram from the gsxr...this should make it easier but for some reason none of this is working.....according to the diagram the kill switch wires should be o/b and o/w which i hook up to b/w and black on my bike.....and the starter from the gsxr is y/g but theres also o/r and y/w ..... what am i supposed to do with those??? do i just ground those 2 wires i mean one of those wires goes straight to the ignition switch but its completely different on our bike....thats why im sooo confuseddd

Don't go by a wiring diagram - it might be from an overseas model.

Pull the switch block apart and look at the wires. That way you're certain ;)

hillsy,
that is a great idea...didnt even think about that
 
I fitted switches from a late 90s CBR600RR to my 73 CB500. Pretty simple, i went off the wiring diagram i had for the 500 and pulled apart the switches for the CBR like was already said. From memory i pulled apart the stock ones as well to double check. I'm no wiring expert and it didnt take to long. Big improvement over the sloppy 30 year old switches if your going for a semi modern look as well

the only problem with these gsxr switches compared to the honda stock switches is that the switches itself do not have a ground.....
 
Any black/white wire is ground on Suzuki, so connect it to green on Honda
If it's an orange, it's a switched live feed (with ignition on), goes into Honda black wire.
different colour tracers with orange wil tell you what exactly things do/get connected to on live side
You may find the stop switch has to be OFF to run, can't remember how it's wired internally, will try and check tomorrow.
It's always easier to use switches from same manufacturer as wiring colours won't change (even if internal connections do)

hmm that is verryy interesting information pj...i prob wouldve gone with newer cbr switches but my buddy just gave me these. so i figured why not

i was talking to another person from hondatwins about the switches and the diagrams and the way its set up right now quote from his post

"You need to unplug the black solenoid wire from the main harness, tape off the main harness side (as it will remain/be "hot" when the key is on), and ground the solenoid side black wire.... The yellow/red wire stays connected through the harness to the switch unit.... This is because the replacement (GSXR) start switch will now provide power instead of "grounding" as the original Honda switch did....."


he gave me what colors to connect where as far as the kill switch/starter side goes and it does work...now doing this way i connect one wire from the kill switch to another wire on the left switch(hi/lo/horn) which "powers" that switch as well

now are you telling me that i dont need to change anything from my solenoid? and i can run it like a normal switch?...


heres a diagram of the electrical for the gsxr btw

Sounds about right.
Suzuki use 'live' switches for starter circuit because of safety cutouts.
Power goes from battery through main fuse to ignition switch, back to fuse box, up to kill switch, bridged to starter button, back into harness, out to clutch switch then to starter solenoid, out of starter solenoid to starter relay, from there to either neutral switch or sidestand switch.
lots of fun to work with
Your bypassing most of that can't have 2 livefeeds going to solenoid (won't do anything) so, you ground one side of solenoid and live feed the other side

hey pj
on hte left controls...what do i do with the clutch switches?? do i leave them alone or do they get wired to something?

You don't need the clutch switch on your bike, so either remove the switch / wiring or just leave them.
 
here is the wiring for future use if people want to use these switches.... by the way mine were off a 06-07 gsxr
the credit goes to 66sprint from hondatwins.net...he is the MAN!!

this is for my 71 cb450 your wires may be different but close enough
first thing first, you need to ground the black wire coming from the starter solenoid(read post before for reasoning why you need to ground that wire)

right controls
gsxr wire color ------ honda wire color
"Kill Switch"
O/W ......................................MUST connect to (Honda) Black (power with key on)
O/B........................................Black/white stripe (power to coils)

"Lighting interrupter/Start"
O/R........................................To Black (incoming power, can be the same black as the kill switch)
W/Y ....................To GSXR left switches, W/Y wire (carries power over to hi/low switch, other side of switches)
Y/G ........................................To Yellow/Red stripe (solenoid wire...If you've grounded the other small solenoid wire {black})

"front brake switch"
B/R ............................... Yellow/green (brakelight)
B/BL............................... Black (power)



left controls
gsxr colors ------ honda colors
Lights:
O to W/Y from right side switches - from right switch to left switch to power these up
Y to Headlight Blue (high beam)
W to Headlight White (low beam)



Horn:
B/Bl to Horn Lt.Green
B/W to ground
Horn black to power buss (harness Black)


Turn signals......
LBl to Honda grey
Lg to Honda Lt. Blue
B to Honda Orange

Amazing information!! this is what I have been looking for! Searched high and low haha. I have updated my wiring diagram to reflect this information. The diagram was drawn in AutoCAD and I can provide the file to anyone that wants it, PDF or DWG or whatever file type you need. It is a very good representation of the CB360 wiring. I know there are a ton out there but most are a low quality compressed jpg image that zooming is impossible on. Everything is very clear on my diagram. The PDF is obviously the better of the quality
