Thanks so much for the feedback and photos! Your FJ looks great! I keep flip-flopping on which size to initially go with but, leaning toward the Junior Flash 30s. Decisions, decisions!

Last post by Billy Bananahead - March 21, 2026, 05:06:36 AMI'm sorry but i've lost the diode that i took out of the FJ loom but here's some info and the diode universal symbol > https://www.pcbasic.com/blog/diode_symbol.html
If you look in the Haynes Book of Lies at the wiring diagram then the symbol is there in the loom, just look for the symbol, but that is only on 1986 and 87 models. That's why i call it the Haynes Book of Lies as it could have been omitted regarding later models.
But looking at the wiring diagram could you bike have a problem with the side stand relay or is that earlier models only?

Last post by Billy Bananahead - March 21, 2026, 04:25:27 AMFrom what i remember there is a diode in the wiring loom. It's hard to locate without actually cutting open the loom casing. It's somewhere between the headstock and fuses. Sorry i can't be more helpful. I'll see if i can find the one i replaced and post a picture.

Last post by JTNWEvo - March 20, 2026, 10:59:59 AMI am having the same issue (not running with side stand down while in neutral) on a 1990 FJ1200 that I am fixing up. I don't see a diode block like on the FJ11, does any one know where diodes might be physically located in the wiring harness? If I am reading the wiring diagram correctly they do seem to exist but not in a big block like the older bikes.
Open to other ideas of solutions. My clutch and side stand switches are all working as expected when tested with a multi-meter and the neutral light comes on when in neutral and turns of when in gear.
Thanks!
