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 the light 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.
