Clocks swap

[kernow]

Intending to swap F2 clocks to a naked set up using the binnacle from a FZR250 2kR. It looks as though there are some differences in the wiring with the idiot light wires/loom missing. Has anyone made this change I'm thinking maybe the differences with the clocks being from a 4 stoke it's not a great idea. I suppose I could remove the F2 clocks and use them with the FZR binnacle but was intending to keep them back without messing with for future use.
Has anyone made this change before I dive in or advice?
Thanks

I did similar, putting the F2 clocks into that binnacle. Works fine. I did have to alter the loom slightly and jam it all in.

Not too bad. Make sure you order some new foam surrounds. Certain Suzuki ones fit, see here:

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to buy bulb and holders for the idiot lights and the Yamaha loom plugs to match the original wiring. How do the individual wires release from the original plugs. Sorry lots of questions trying to understand what's ahead.
Thanks

I think I used the bulbs, holders and plugs from the F2 loom, just had to separate a few wires.

If you want to buy some, try a wanted ad on here.

Put up a pic of the bulb holder and the plugs you need, as its possible I will have some.
I have a box of old clock looms from various Yamaha clocks of that era so its possible I have the connectors and holders you need as they were used on various bikes.

I'm not familiar with F2 nor N2 so the pics will help.

I've always just used the F2 loom in the N or 2kr covers

You need to trim the tape/sleeve back a bit to get enough play on them to fit

Thanks for the feedback it's really useful to have your collective knowledge. Going to swap the clocks as advised and see how it goes.
Thanks again.

I have the complete 2KR front end on my valve. You need to swap the tacho, as the little 4 pot revs to 17,000 and it'll make your engine feel inadequate not revving much past 1/2 way.

The speedo will work, but is geared for the 17" front wheel of the FZR, I kept the wheel, so mine is OK, you may find it reads out a bit.

All the F2 bits swap in with minimum work. I also have a box of left over bits, if you can photo what plugs you need etc.
