Please
read these instructions from beginning to end before you start the
installation. Should you have any questions, please contact Mototeck
Innovation 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 four bolts under the tail section as well.
5.
Disconnect the tail light, signal light and license plate wires and
carefully remove the tail section.
6. Cut
the stock signal wires as close as possible to the signals themselves.
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 a
Dremel Tool with a plastic cutting tip. I have used the Dremel tool
with very good results, but you can also use a Hack Saw blade, 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 only takes a few minutes
9.
Carefully re-install the tail section on the bike, but do not install
any of the bolts.
10.
Slide the Undertail up into the tail section
and position it to line up the six holes so you can attach it using the
six 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. Our Part Number is 3100610 .
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. |
