    you are awesome!
    I have complete respect for anyone who can look over a schematic and quickly understand it.
    Thank you.

    My apologies to the hosting site, I burned my bandwidth allowance with all these diagrams.
    Now I can list the parts I need from Chacal.

    I doctored these changes and labeled a few things for final revision
    It might be a good sticky in the DIY section.

    Well that does look nice

    So that includes mating connectors and terminals to adapt the Turbo harness to the RJC gauge cluster for a nice clean fit?

    Just keep in mind that I cannot find any documentation on the pinout of the RJ diode pack therefore may have to swap the B/R wires if things do not work as expected. You may have traced this out already.

    *edited to correct wire color

    Yes I was able to salvage the connector blocks and any coloured wire from the donor RJC bike.
    I'm putting new terminal ends on everything I've changed and trying to avoid splices.
    It should look like a Yamaha wiring harness when I'm done.

    I have just the RJC schematic, you're right they could get mixed around, need to keep that in mind.

    So I am confused by this - the R/W wire and Simmy agrees? Anyway this should be the diode pack for the RJ - not sure if RJC matches so may want to check P/N for that.

    Yikes, my bad. Long week I guess. I meant B/R wires, the diagram has a B/R wire for both the wire from the oil switch to diode and from the oil light to the diode. I don't have a diode pack in front of me to look but I'll gladly pull my headlight out tomorrow and see what the corresponding wires are if needed.

    I corrected my mistake above but thank you for pointing that out. Hopefully I didn't confuse you @Simmy !

    If rooster53 has the correct diagram for the RJ block, the G is the oil sender, B/R is the light, and L/W is from the starter button/solenoid ground connection.

    I knew what you meant, I didn't actually notice you said R/W instead of B/R.
    Here is a good pic of the RJC diode block and connectors

    thanks Rooster, the pin out is the same, so I assume the same diode between RJC and RJ.
    I looked through the supplemental manual I have for the RJC but couldn't find its P/N.

    The diode blocks should be the same as long as the RJC has a sidestand safety switch and associated relay...……….

    I'm not intending to clutter up the dash with a boost gauge. The OEM gauge was pretty much useless as I remember.
    The needle swung all the way to the right with any amount of boost. Who needs that?
    I do plan to buy a cheapie mechanical gauge and temporarily mount it for setting up the BoostValve.
    An alternate fuel pump is all I still have to buy for this bike.
    So that should be it for any wiring woes.
    I'll go ahead and post the final plans. I sure hope everything works.

    I have 2 boost pressure sensors.
    Both measured 2.2V, so both within the specified range 2.0-2.3V at atmospheric.
    After hearing the trouble @JeffK had with his measuring 4V, he cut it apart and pre-bent the strain gauge,
    sure glad I didn't need to get into that.

    the conversion to the tail of my bike is pretty much completed.
    It is a fully restored tail end of the standard Seca now. Except for 2 x-welds everything is standard XJ650RJ.
    The rear fender is in the best condition I've ever seen one.
    It came from the same bike as my instruments and headlight.
    I also have the seat from that bike but it looks like someone added padding.
    I'm using another seat from a Seca which had just 6,000 kms on it. It's an original seat without rips
    but I already have a cover from Chacal.
    The wiring is still a big job in front of me. I was planning to route the wiring under the steering like the standard Seca but I just noticed the larger oil cooler closes off this route.
    The wiring needs to go back along each side of the neck of the frame just like the Turbo has, this will be visible but lots of bikes are like that.

    I showed this before where the RJ sidecover bracket fouls the Turbo's R/R.
    There's really no concern with this, I can slightly wedge the plastic tray back to clear.

    I took this picture last spring actually.
    Isn't this the epitome of a cafe racer?

    @Simmy did you remove the Yamaha sticker off the tail? I'm curious as my 82 650RJ does not have it either and I can't tell if there was ever one to begin with. The bike is in fantastic condition so I don't believe it just wore off.

    I have 3 tail pieces on hand with original paint and none have the Yamaha decal.
    My other Seca on my sidecar started out as the red one but I custom painted it 26 years ago. I can't recall if it had Yamaha across the tail?

    Thanks. The decal is still available and decently priced but I’m on the fence if I like it there and I can’t tell if mine had it originally.

    Bummer, my shiny XJ900RK shocks interfere with the 650RJ sidecovers.
    If I trim just the edge of the cover I think they will fit.
    I thought about flipping them around but then the reservoir will interfere with the seat when it tilts open.
