How to get sizes of bolts from the part numbers..
The Yamaha microfiche shows the bolt size, you just have to know how to read it. Here is how it works.....
The part number is broken down into 3 parts 99999-06012-00 is an example. The second part, which is 06012 tells you the size. That bolt is 6mm in diameter and 12mm in length. If the second part was 08024 the bolt would be 8mm in diameter and 24mm in length. The first part of the part number tell what type of part it is such as bolt, screw, washer etc. and last 2 digits generally determines the finish such as black, cad, etc
Here is the wiring colors for the bike harness:
Black= Ground
Blue= Running (or low beam on a dual element bulb)
Green= Right Turn Signal
Brown= Left Turn Signal
Yellow= Brake Light (or high beam if using a double element bulb as run / brake)
You have 2 wires on your light, one will be the high beam and the other the low beam, you need to figure out which is which. Connect the low beam to the bikes blue wire and the high beam to the bikes yellow wire. If you have turn signals then just connect them to the brown and green wires. Mounting thećlight on the frame will be the ground connection. Now just one thing, Jeff has advised that grounding to the frame where it will pass thru a bearing may cause some damage so for a side mount you may want to consider running a ground wire to the bikes black wire. You can make your own ground wire in several ways, if you need help then put a post up for that and we'll try to help you out.
