INSTRUCTION GUIDE

Installation Guide   Suzuki SV650 SV1000 Mototeck Undertail

Please read these instructions from beginning to end before you start the installation. Should you have any questions, please contact Rack in Motion  immediately. If you do not feel comfortable doing this job yourself, it is suggested that you have an experienced Motorcycle Technician perform the installation. 1. Place the bike on a stand, preferably a swing arm stand. 2. Remove the front seat. 3. Remove the solo seat section or rear seat. 4. Remove the plastic lock rivets under the tail section. Using a 10mm wrench, remove the  bolts under the tail section as well. 5. Disconnect the tail light, signal light and license plate wires and carefully remove the tail section.

Disconnect the keylock cable from the tail section.

Here, the installer is unbolting the 4, 10mm bolts that hold the rear mud guard in place.

7. FENDER TRIMMING: IMPORTANT NOTE: The following procedure involves some cutting of plastic. Use Safety Glasses for all cutting and/or grinding procedures! The stock fender is used to retain the trunk area. You must also keep the holder clips for the support  bar. The stock fender must be trimmed enough to install the Undertail section. For cutting, I recommend an Exacto Knife, or something similar. Basically, you have to cut the fender at least as high as the finished edge and also leave room for the signals. It's not critical to cut perfectly since the new Undertail covers all of the cut edges. 8. Look carefully at the pictures below and use them as a guide as to where you need to cut. This procedure should take about 5 minutes.

Bending the plastic sides help the knife to cut the plastic, be careful with the blade.
 

Continue the cut, using the tape edges as a guide.

There are the pieces that have been cut off.

Here, the installer is holding the stock undertray up against the frame and using the existing stock fender hole as a guide, is drilling a 3/16" hole in the undertray. Do the same on both sides (see below).
 

Above and below pictures, Install the bolts that you removed in the mud guard removal so as to hold the stock undertray in place. Tighten with a 10mm wrench.

This shows the stock undertray now mounted to the bottom of the rear subframe.

9. Carefully re-install the tail section on the bike, but do not install any of the other bolts and rivets yet. 10. Slide the Undertail up into the tail section and position it to line up the 4 holes so you can attach it using the 4 plastic fasteners supplied with the Mototeck kit. 11. Install the four bolts that hold down the tail section. 12. Connect the signal wires. The LED turn signal wires are black and red and are connected to the stock turn signal wires which are black and white. If the LED signal lights do not illuminate, you most likely will have to reverse your wire connections on the effected lights. IMPORTANT NOTE: The wires for the LED Turn Signals have inline resistors. If you remove the resistors by shortening the wires, the LED's will fail upon applying electrical power. Do NOT remove these resistors. There are inline resistors for the License plate light as well. Next, connect the stock tail light wires and the license plate light wires. Check that the signal, tail and brake lights operate satisfactorily. 12. It suggested that you install a heavy duty Turn signal relay. In most cases, after installing LED's, the signals will flash at a very rapid rate. This relay installed in place of the stock unit will return the Turn signal flashing rate back to normal. We have these units in stock.   13. If desired, install the license plate bracket supplied in the kit by drilling the three holes, whose location has been marked on the Mototeck Undertail. Attach the bracket using the  fasteners supplied, or you may use nuts and bolts if you prefer. Depending where you are located, you may have to drill some holes in your License plate to line up with the holes in the License Plate Bracket.

Do your best to hide the wires in the empty rear and side of the tail section
using tape or zip ties.
