I have this Honda ignition switch in my stash and would like to offer it on fleabay but I don't actually know its application. I do know it's not for an '86-87 VFR. No part number on it. Anyone recognize it? Anyone need it?
Thanks, JOE in IL

Looks like the one I just used on my 1000r
I have a working spare and a parts ignition for my first gen V4's, both have 6 pin connectors. My key codes are C37 and C96 respectively.
I noticed yours has a 5 pin connector and key code C06. I tried to reference which bike model used that code, but came up empty.
Physically, my switches look the same as yours, as has every switch for a mid eighties Honda I've ever seen. So, I guess you would have to find which models used a 5 pin connector.

You are correct, I just looked at the wiring diagram in the back of my service manual and the 1000r is 6 wires, do you know if the cap with the writing will come off with out damage?
So there's no "Park" function. I can't think of a single one of my 80's bikes that doesn't have that. Is that the 6th wire?

Yes. Undo the metal clamp on the wires and pop the cap off. Its only held in place by 3 indents. You can then clean the contacts and dielectric grease the unit.

Both my R's, Vf1100S, Vf750F, VF700F have "Park" settings on the ignition.
My 86 VF500F does not. It is a 5 pin connector as pictured. So I guess you are correct that the 6th wire is for that function.
FWIW the key code for my VF500F is A10.

My original 86 has park (and all of my 500s). Looks like your ignition was replaced at one point.

You are correct. A quick check of the wiring loom shows the other half of the connector is 6 pin.
So apparently a 5 pin will work as I had no issues with starting, lights, etc. Just no parking light option.
