Hi all,
New member here.
I have a 1995 SB6 (Mk. II?) with a broken Zadi ignition switch. The cheap metal part that turns the lower (electrical) portion of the switch has sheared off. I had an earlier SB6 (Mk I?) that had a Suzuki ignition switch.
Does anyone know if a readily available Suzuki ignition switch has the same mounting points and steering lock position as the Zadi switch? Or is there a Zadi switch that would cross reference with the SB6?
Maybe my Zadi can be dismantled and fixed but it would be nice to know that I can have something functional if it's destroyed in the process.
I pestered Bob the US Bimota guy to no avail and have scoured the net looking for info on Zadi key switches but found very little of use.
TIA,
Tim in Florida

Don't suppose there's any model numbers on the switch ?

Hi,

There is a number, PF385. When I searched previously I couldn't find anything but that was a few years ago.
I just hit the jackpot. The same switch is used on a Gilera DNA and there's two for sale on ebay UK.

Next up, replace broken rear brake disc.

That's a result ... you might need to change the wires a bit but it's a good find and useful for the rest of us.
