Did you know?

Determining the correct side. In the world of motorcycle parts, "left" and "right" are always determined from the rider's perspective while seated on the bike. This means the left side corresponds to the clutch lever side, ensuring you always select the correct component for your tail section.

Manufacturer terminology. While riders often use the term "sticker," manufacturers have their own catalog languages. Yamaha typically refers to these adhesive elements as "Graphics," whereas other brands might use terms like "Pattern," "Stripe," or "Tape Set" to describe their factory branding.

For the best results, ensure the tail cowl surface is surgically clean using isopropyl alcohol before applying the graphic to the left side.
