Frequently Asked Questions

How is the left or right side of the motorcycle determined?

In the motorcycle industry, orientation is always determined from the rider's seated position. The left side (LH) corresponds to the clutch lever side, while the right side (RH) refers to the throttle side. This standard is used across all Yamaha factory parts catalogs to ensure accurate fitment.

Should I use a heat gun when applying this tail cowl graphic?

When dealing with the compound curves of a tail section, a heat gun can be helpful. Use a low setting and keep it 15-20cm away to gently soften the vinyl, allowing it to conform to the panel without wrinkling. Always apply heat after initial placement to set the adhesive.

For the best results, ensure the tail cowl surface is meticulously cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax and residue before applying the adhesive.
