all right guys dave here with the honda elite 110 replacing the ignition assembly
all right and see my previous video on how to remove this hood but in a nutshell you remove
every phillips head screw in both direction from this way this way even underneath
going from down here every phillips head screw around here that you can see including
these two guys here once the hood comes off because you're going to need some room to push
this plastic back so you can get your hand back there uh also disconnect the
main wiring harness down here as well it's just you know it's very tight you can also
remove this relay here just so you can have some more hand room you know what i'm saying
but as far as the i mean the only thing that's sort of tricky is the
seat release mechanism let's take a closer look at that okay
oh and here's the harness for the ignition key also that goes into this little black piece in
the back previous owner hacked into this one because they lost the key of course which is
kind of common if you lose the key to this you're not going to be able to open this up right here
and if that's the case then you're not getting into this vehicle
so they drilled into it and totally hacked it and all that you know so whatever
we're just going to put an oem setup back on it but if you can see
all right here's the cable for the seat release mechanism okay the yellow plastic part
the yellow plastic part goes in into the entry point then the cable itself
goes right behind it here this is the actual lever that's attached to the key mechanism
it's all plastic tabs to get this black housing off of it you know so there's no tools necessary
just to remove this housing so you know so you can see everything and get to everything and all that
if you see everything like that not that difficult uh the only things that you might have to
think about because the the existing bolts that were holding all this in place are basically
impossible to remove without destroying them so you'll need to get some similar bolts
let me see what size they are real quick okay now the size of the bolt you're going to need
to secure this big booger here is a six millimeter diameter by 1.0 thread pitch so it's a pretty
common size especially for motorcycles and motocross bikes and things but you can get
it at the hardware store also six by 1.0 and they'll they'll secure these guys right in here
all right you'll see got bolt there and bolt there
seat release cable comes in there cable end attaches there
and then of course the actual lock safety lock mechanism
will go here facing this way and it has to attach behind this back here that might be
hard to see but yeah the the lock itself you'll have to come back here and it bolts from the back
going this way so it's very difficult to get to you know i recommend you remove the relay
and everything right here so you can get your hand back behind it otherwise it's very tight
and you can turn the handlebars as well to give you better access to that right there
anyway there you go and this black plastic housing is pretty self-explanatory just
slides over push it towards the back and then click it in place down at the bottom down here
it'll click in place if it's incorrectly you know it can only go in one way really
all right and then we take the final piece here pull this back and just cram it in there basically
might take a little little finagling to get it in there then you're gonna have to bolt
it from the back that's the tricky part okay and then set this little gasket right here
like so
and before you start trying to put everything back together make sure that you've reconnected
your wiring harness underneath there because it gets blocked by the seat release cable so just
make sure you do that first all right you see it there the wiring right here it has to slide in
and then click in place right near the top that way you know it's all the way in then you know
refasten everything and honestly it's probably easier to go ahead and fasten the main keyhole
to this area before you put the you know the key assembly and all that back in place just it gives
you more room to put your hands back in there and all that you know what i mean it's just very
cramped in there if you don't do it that way okay you see if you move these relays out of the way
disconnect the main wiring harness it just gives you a lot more hand space to get in there all
right see what i mean back there if you can reach your hand back behind it and put a short extension
a little bitty extension on your quarter inch drive
with your eight millimeter but it's a little teensy like a one and a half inch extension
it's about the only thing that'll fit back in here so that you can tighten this bolt
and you can at least rotate it by hand you know to get it started and make sure
that it's facing correctly out the other end that way like so then you can barely get your
ratchet you know your little quarter inch ratchet back in there and
snugger down
just be careful because you're likely going to drop something
but it'll usually fall out all the way at the bottom so don't be too concerned
anyway there you go now you've got the main keyed key entry fastened in place
and i'm doing some of this for the first time so a little bit of trial and error going on
um finding out that you need to keep it kind of hand tight for the time being until you get the
actual key assembly put back in there so just keep this bolt kind of hand tight you know
loosen it a little bit so you can wiggle it and get the actual key assembly back in there all
right and something else that may hinder you trying to put your ratchet back there will be
these cables so make sure you pull these cables back you know up to you so that you can get your
ratchet and socket back behind there now i've got this loose and wobbly so now i can
should be able to fit this in and make sure that this this big post goes in right here
all right now something to take note of before you
button everything back up make sure you test this seat the seat lock mechanism
this little guy right here
where the cable goes in make sure you test it first because if this lever does not pull it
out far enough it's not going to unlock all you have to do is take you uh you know some needle
nose pliers and just pry that little brass looking bar just pry it that way just a tad if necessary
then you can test it again to make sure that the seat actually unlocks
before you put everything back together and of course all there is to do is you know with the key
of course you know first you use this to unlock the whole key area just put this in rotate it
that'll open up the keyhole there if you can see that if you can't oh well then put the key
into the ignition and push it inward okay because you notice seat you can't see that
seat is not opening right now push it in
unlocked
beautiful so now it looks legit no more hacked looking key set up uh you know i had to order
this from overseas actually i don't know if it's honda japan or honda china or whatever it was
but it's legit you know it it everything is correct uh it works properly and all that uh
i'll put a link you know i'll see if i can find the link where i got it but um
but yeah everything works great you can shut it like that it's fantastic
so do not lose your keys or you will not be able to open that right there
that's the whole purpose of this setup and then everything else is pretty self-explanatory uh
oh and you may have to change the key lock for the glove box the glove compartment has a key also but
it's very easy to replace you know it's just you just use a pair of pliers and pull that off right
there pull the old key they'll lock out put the new one in slide that lock back on by being done
and uh and then of course the gas cap which is under there if you haven't done that one yet
no big deal just replace your gas cap down below
and then you know re put your relays and your switches and all that back in reconnect your
harness down here this little thing here is what holds the harness in place so you sort of bend
it back and you know bend it back it keeps it from moving around make sure everything looks
snug and tight and everything and then just put the hood back on which reverse what you've done
which is very easy you know you just sort of lay it in place make sure it clicks in place and put
all the phillips heads everywhere you can see or they'll be underneath forward backward everywhere
and that should do it and then your last two things are these little zip tie buttons they
push into a couple little holes here and here and that's it as far as the interior and then of
course maybe before you put the lid back on you know make sure make sure she fires up of course
make sure everything works
everything is working uh yeah this is a 2010 honda elite 110. they only made it in america
one year which is pretty cool so it's kind of a rare bike see our other videos on other things
we've done to it you know we've done things with the instrument cluster pulling off body
panels basic services things like that so look through our channel there'll be a playlist link
at the end of this video you'll see in a thumbnail right in the corner and you know if any of our
videos help you look for the little thanks link right under the video you can throw us a donation
