Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine if I need the left or right side decal?

Side orientation is always determined from the rider's seated position on the motorcycle. In this case, the left side corresponds to the clutch lever side of the bike. This is the industry-standard method used in all official parts catalogs to ensure correct component selection.

Should I use a wet or dry method for applying this graphic?

For this tail section graphic, a wet application using a mild water and soap solution is often recommended. This technique allows you to slide the decal into the perfect position for several minutes before the adhesive sets. For smaller stickers, a dry application provides immediate and permanent adhesion.

Ensure the mounting surface is meticulously cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax and residue before beginning the application process for maximum adhesion.

* If this decal is listed under multiple models or versions, the exact mounting location may vary slightly.
