Switchgear - Oz Import vs Grey Import...
The Oz Import and Grey Import bikes have different switch gear models.
If you buy new ones from Honda, they will be for the Oz Import bikes.
You can re-wire them, if you have the patience![/align]

1) Harness before being soldered
2) 1st Plug before being soldered
3) 2nd Plug before being soldered
4) Old Switch Gear
5) New Switch Gear *Note: No switch to turn the headlights on/off! bah
Taken from patcbr's post, here's how I wired it up:
blue/white to black/red
white to white
blue to blue/white
light green to black/white
grey to grey
light blue to light blue
orange to orange
light blue/white unused
orange/white unused
brown/white to black/brown
black to green/white
black to green/red
--NB. the colours on the left of the list are on the switch harness and those on the right are on the bike harness. Also black/brown on the bike harness needs to be hooked/looped around and connected to brown/white on the bike harness to get the tail light working. Oh and the two unused wires are indicator pilot lights i think but i have a universal 2 pin flasher unit and they might have done something with the oe flasher, but dont no.

Ok here's a quick heads up for anyone wanting to change their crappy old RHS switchgear (killswitch) on their 250rr with the new OEM one. If you have anything but an RR(r) you will have different connectors and need to rewire but its a piece of cake if you have any basic skill.
First off I'd like to thank Eclipze again, and simply-mighty as he helped out heaps with the change and knows his shit.
So, on the RR(l) this was the config:
2 wires into block A - 3 wires into block B
on the RR(r)
6 wires into 1 block and 1 single wire by itself.
Best way of doing this is by removing the blocks off the cables (they are simple clips that can be pushed out with a bit of leverage from a screw driver and pliers. There is some soldering still to be done though..
On the left is the ORIGINAL BIKE loom, right is new OEM loom (copied from Eclipze)
Yellow/Red stripe ----------------------Yellow/Red stripe
Black/White stripe ---------------------Black/White stripe
Black/Red circles joins ------------------Black/Red stripe joins to
to another Black/Red circles -----------Black/white squares(1 of 3)
Black/White Squares (2 of 3) -----------Black/White Squares (2 of 3)
Black/White Squares (3 of 3) -----------Black/White Squares (3 of 3)
The only way to tell the 3 OEM Black/White Squares wires apart is by getting a multimeter, sticking the probes into each of the 2 brake lever connector wires and then playing around with the 3 Black/White Square wires until you see the 2 that have resistance registering on the multimeter. Those 2 wires then go into the two spots described below in the diagram (don't laugh at it). The final Black/White Square wire is joined to the Black/Red stripe wire and then put into the spot where the original Black/Red circles wires went. Finally the blue wire is left unused, insulate it with some tape and put it aside (it could be used to turn the headlights off while cranking, for that info you must ask Eclipze)See pic below:
Diagram A - this is what the finished product will look like. Please note this diagram is drawn such that the connector blocks have the CLIPS UPWARD FACING YOU
Some pictures of the product...
This post will be edited when I have time to make it clearer...Thanks again to simply-mighty and Eclipze :headbang:
