Yoshimura Type C Micro Signal Kit for V2 Fender Eliminators: Install & Compatibility

Quick answer

Yoshimura Type C Micro Signals are designed to work with V2 Fender Eliminator Kits that include model-specific plug-and-play wiring, so installation is mostly bolt-on with no wire splicing. Before you start, confirm your bike's model year and that your V2 kit is the correct version for your application. If you are unsure about fitment, call Yoshimura Sales at 800-634-9166 before ordering.

If you have a Yoshimura V2 Fender Eliminator Kit on your bike, adding Type C Micro Signals is a clean way to finish the tail. The V2 kit's plug-and-play wiring and integrated fasteners make the signal install simpler than older designs, but a few details still trip people up.

This guide walks through the installation in order, with checkpoints for the mistakes we see most often. It also covers compatibility so you can confirm the signals will work with your specific V2 kit before you pull the tail apart.

What the Type C Micro Signal Kit includes and why it matters

Yoshimura Type C Micro Signals are compact turn signals intended for use with V2 Fender Eliminator Kits. The V2 kit itself is redesigned from the ground up with model-specific plug-and-play wiring, so you do not need to splice wires during the install. That is a major change from older fender eliminator kits and it is the main reason the signal install is faster and less error-prone.

The V2 base also uses integrated fasteners that eliminate almost half of the hardware compared to previous designs. Fewer loose pieces means fewer chances to drop a bolt inside the tail or strip a thread. Still, the signals are a separate accessory, so you need to confirm they are the right fit for your bike and your V2 kit before installation.

• Check your V2 Fender Eliminator Kit part number and confirm it is the version that supports Type C Micro Signals.
• If you are not sure, call Yoshimura Sales at 800-634-9166 with your bike's year, make, and model.

Compatibility checks before you start

Compatibility is not just about the fender eliminator; it is also about your bike's wiring and signal requirements. The V2 kit's plug-and-play wiring is model-specific, so the correct kit for your motorcycle will have connectors that match your stock harness. If you have a 2026 Kawasaki KLE 500, for example, the KLE500 2026 V2 Fender Eliminator Kit is built for that application and includes the plug-and-play wiring.

One limitation to note: the supplied catalog information does not list every motorcycle model that the Type C Micro Signals fit. That means you should not guess. Use the model-specific V2 kit listing as your starting point, and if your bike is not clearly listed, contact Yoshimura before ordering. This is especially important if your bike has LED signals from the factory, because load resistors or a different flasher relay may be needed.

• Confirm your V2 Fender Eliminator Kit is the correct model-specific version for your bike.
• Check whether your motorcycle uses LED or incandescent turn signals from the factory; this affects whether you need additional parts.
• If your application is not clearly listed, call 800-634-9166 or email [email protected] before purchase.

Tools and prep

Gather basic hand tools: a socket set, Allen keys, a trim removal tool if your tail plastics use push pins, and a clean workspace. Because the V2 kit uses integrated fasteners and plug-and-play wiring, you will not need wire cutters, crimpers, or soldering equipment for the signal install. That said, having a small pick or flathead screwdriver helps with releasing connector locks.

Before you remove anything, take a photo of the stock tail wiring and signal mounting points. This gives you a reference if you need to backtrack. Also confirm you have the correct Type C Micro Signal Kit for your V2 fender eliminator, and that all included hardware is present. If anything is missing, contact Yoshimura before you start rather than improvising with hardware-store bolts.

• Photograph the stock wiring and mounting points before disassembly.
• Lay out the signal kit hardware and compare it to the instructions; missing pieces are easier to resolve before the bike is apart.

Step-by-step installation

The exact steps vary slightly by motorcycle, but the sequence below reflects how the V2 kit and Type C Micro Signals go together. Work slowly and test as you go. The most common mistake is forcing a connector or over-tightening a fastener, both of which can damage the kit or the tail plastics.

Remember that the V2 kit's plug-and-play wiring is model-specific. If a connector does not click together easily, stop and check that you have the correct mating plug. Do not cut or splice wires to make it fit; that defeats the purpose of the V2 design and can create electrical faults later.

• Disconnect the battery negative terminal before working on wiring.
• Route signal wires away from hot exhaust parts and moving suspension components.
• Test signals before fully tightening all bodywork.

Installation steps with checkpoints

1. 1. Confirm compatibility: Verify your V2 Fender Eliminator Kit is the correct model-specific version for your motorcycle and that Type C Micro Signals are supported. Check your bike's signal type (LED or incandescent). If your application is not clearly listed, call Yoshimura Sales at 800-634-9166 before ordering.
2. 2. Disconnect power and prep: Turn off the ignition, disconnect the battery negative terminal, and remove the seat or tail panels needed to access the fender eliminator wiring. Take photos before disassembly. Common mistake: skipping the battery disconnect can blow a fuse when you unplug stock signals.
3. 3. Remove the stock signals: Unbolt the original turn signals from the fender eliminator or stock bracket and unplug their connectors. Keep the stock hardware organized in case you need it later. Checkpoint: if connectors are stuck, release the locking tab rather than pulling hard on the wires.
4. 4. Mount the Type C Micro Signals: Attach the new signals to the V2 fender eliminator using the integrated fasteners and any included mounting hardware. Do not fully tighten yet; leave slight movement for wire routing. Common mistake: over-tightening can crack the signal housing or strip the integrated fastener.
5. 5. Connect the plug-and-play wiring: Route the signal wires along the same path as the stock harness, away from hot or moving parts. Plug the model-specific connectors together until they click. Do not splice or cut wires. Checkpoint: if a connector does not seat easily, verify you have the correct mating plug; forcing it can damage the terminals.
6. 6. Test before final assembly: Reconnect the battery negative terminal and test the turn signals, including hazard function if equipped. Check that left and right signals flash at the correct rate and that running/brake lights (if applicable) work. If flash rate is too fast or too slow, you may need a load resistor or LED-compatible flasher relay; contact Yoshimura for guidance.
7. 7. Final tighten and tidy: Once signals work correctly, tighten all fasteners to a snug fit (do not overtighten), secure any loose wiring with zip ties, and reinstall body panels. Final check: re-check signal operation after fully assembling the tail, and inspect wire routing for any pinch points.
