So Today i installed the proton flush mount turn signals kit without removing any farings. I did this to save time.... because my gf wanted me to come over asap....sooooooo i took pictures to kill time wile i did it and figgured i would make a How To on here for you guys <3
P.S. This is my first How To so go easy on me
List Of Required Materials (Or at least what i used)
1x Yamaha FZ6R 2009-2012+
1x Proton Flush Mount Turn Signals (for FZ6R)
1x 8mm Deep Well Socket
1x 1/4 Drive Ratchet
1x 1/4 Drive 1 Inch Extension
1x Roll of Electrical Tape
1x Dikes or Razor Blade
1x Crimping tool or Pliers
2x Hands
Step #1
If you look up inside the farings on the back side you will see this ^ clip holding the wire in two places simply pull the wire up and out of both the clips.
Step #2
This step is easier if you turn your wheel. Simply reach your arm down in by the front forks from the top, and find the back of the blinker tube. It will be located right behind those clips that held the wire.
Step #3
On the back of the blinker tube you will feel this plastic plug being held in the blinker tube by two rubber hooks like show in the picutre above of the blinker i have already removed.
Step #4
Attempt to posistion your figners on it like this ^ your index finger on the hook ready to push one of the hooks away from the plastic plug in the center of the blinker tube and your middle finger on the back of the plastic plug ready to pull it out of the blinker tube.
Step #5
Now pull the hook away from the plastic plug and with your middle finger pull the plastic stoper out of the blinker tube.
Step #6
Next locate the plug on the back side of the blinker tube. It will be at the end of that wire you pulled out of the clips in Step #1. To unclip it you have to find the small clip on it and pull it away from the plug with one hand wile pulling the plug appart with the other.
Step#7
Now you have to cut the plug right off the blinker end of the wire (NOT THE BIKE END) cut it about 1-1.5 inches back from the plug so you have room later to strip and crimp your flush mount to this plug. Then set that plug aside you will need it in a few steps =)
Step #8
You are now free to remove the blinker stem. To do this you can simply pull the stem of the blinker towards the back of the bike and it should come right out. If it feels like its stuck then reach back there with your other hand and squeez the two hooks together to compress the blinkers tube and pull backwards and out on the blinker.
Step #9
Take that blinker Plug you cut off earlier and cut the black fusing tape off it if yours has it, so that you can strip the wires.
Step #10
You now need to strip the wires so that approxamently 1/5-1/4th and inch of wire is showing. To do this you can just gently cut into the rubber sheilding with a razor blade or dikes (Do NOT cut the actual wires) and then bite it with your teath where you just cut the wire and pull it off.
Step #10B
If you choose to (i did) you can cut off about 4 inches of your flush mount wires so that there is not as much slack wiring hanging out on the inside of your faring. Before you cut the wires shorter, its a good idea to mount the blinker, and make sure your wires will go threw the clips and back to the bikes plug for the blinker.
