So Im gonna assume that its a 600rr????

*Disclaimer* I have a 600 F4

bike side wiring
blue - Right turn
orange - Left turn
green - ground
green /yellow and black /red are your tail and brake lights.
you need to figure that out yourself but it should not be too difficult.

tail light side
the two yellows are the turn. you need to figure that one out.
green /ground
red and black? They are your tail and brake lights. again on you to figure out.

You said F3, right?

Here's the key...

light blue is right turn
orange is left turn
brown is the tail/liscense light
green/yellow is the brake light
solid green is the ground

if you use the green (ground) and the brown (positive, always on) as tests on the
tail you're installing, you can (with the key ON) check each wire to see which is
which. I'm betting that CJ is right about the yellows bing the two turn lights and the
red/black being the brake/tail lights. hook the bikes green to the IT's green and then
use the bike's brown wire to each in turn, to see what lights up, marking them as you go.

Good luck, Ern
