Lc coil cover

Re routing my loom round the correct side of the headstock ,what goes in the square with the split on the coil cover on the right side?

Self canceling unit

Nope, self cancelling unit fits onto a tab behind the headstock. As far as I know, nothing fits in the square section on the plastic coil cover.

I was just about to ask what the tab under the coils was for

As rich says, not the self cancelling unit. Doesn’t this have a rubber band with a slit that mounts on a tang to the back left of the headstock?

I don’t want to sound like a nerd, but for some reason I’m comfortable being called an LC nerd.

I’ve discussed this in the past with my mate Jeff and other two stroke enthusiasts.

I reakon for a U.K. spec bike it is not used.

That begs the question of what it’s for? I suspect a mounting point for a possible addition?

What about an indicator beeper? After all the LC self cancelling indicators seem well over the top for me. A unit that takes signals from the speedo and time? Perhaps a simpler but not adopted method was a simpler beeper? Have to ask Yamaha San. Actually that’s not a bad idea, as it’s probable the designers are still alive.

Best check mine, sure that mines pushed in there, maybe I’m missing the band!

That tab is for self canceling unit. Iv'e replaced mine with another unit in the past although they still don't cancel even after trying wiring mods to suit

The self cancelling thing was ahead of its time, some modern bikes are proud to say they have that function in their brochures I noticed for 2018 models. Yams was a bit iffy tho and mine never worked even when new.

It’s for the headlight relay on a Japan spec RZ, Jon identified my harness I had for sale had an extra block coming from where the ignition is fed from the harness, I now have said relays and it fits, problem solved. Andy.
