Newbie needs help changing indicators
 
Hi guys, I have a SV650s k6 and i want to change my front indicators from stock to mini arrows. The problem is i dont have a clue on how to do it and i'm on a very tight budget. Does anyone know if there's a website that can show how or a downloadable instructions.
I'd appreciate any help even if it's just advice.:)

Pointy/curvy? Fairing/naked?

On my pointy (S, not naked), if you stand infront of the bike & look back at it (so you're looking at the front of the indicators), there's a wee little screw that holds the indicator in place.

Undo that, pull it out, job jobbed.

P.S. You'll probably find you also need some Motrax Indi spacers too, but don't hold me to that.

I'm sure that wasnt there before...

Oh well, nm, just means that the advice I gave is accurate :D

Might get around to replacing my front indies this weekend after I partially service it, but I need to solder on a new wire to each, then solder the stock connector onto the mini indies. Right pain.

You know you can buy indie connectors now from Motrax that connect the two sets of leads together without the need to solder. About 7 quid a pair I think.

cheers guys:thumbsup:
So i guess apart from the indies and cable and a bit of common sense i should find it simple to fit.
However a thought has occured to me ( possible daft question coming up !!), cos the stocks are larger and the new ones smaller in width etc, will i have to have anything else to cover any possible gaps.:-s
Like it says in the Title "Newbie"

£7/pair? You're having a laugh right?

It's not that much of a pain in the rear to solder/heatshrink them!

If they drop the price to, say, included with the indicators, then maybe!

The indicator spacers do that nicely. £14.99 or something daft a pair, or was that for a set of 4? I forget.
