How to install a Programmable Integrated Tail Light on a 2019+ Kawasaki ZX6R by TST Industries

[@mw6563]

Just finished your total tail mod on my 40th ZX6. Thank You for providing a thorough and well explained video for all the mods. All four mods took less than 2 hours at a careful pace. For those not sure about tint or clear taillight on a 40th. I went with clear and it looks AMAZING! Sparkles just like the silver frame. Thanks again.

[@cartalkwithmattandalex2794]

hey man did you install the tail tidy first or the tail light? Trying to figure out what order to do it in, thanks

[@40thzx6]

hell yuh same bro

@@cartalkwithmattandalex2794i did the tidy just cuz it’s easier to me

[@Viper555]

I just installed the tail light in the dark smoke color on my black 2024 ZX-6R, looks great! Install took maybe 3 hours for tail light, fender eliminator, flasher relay, and license plate light. It took extra long because I dropped a bolt inside the motorcycle and had to take some more fairings off. Don’t be like me, be careful while doing this a rewatch many times! The installer is very good and it will take you longer than it will take him, unless you’re gifted or a mechanic (in that case why are you reading this).

[@cmbiker]

I just installed this integrated tail light on my 2023 ZX6R and absolutely love it! The quality, features and looks are fantastic. It is worth every penny. My only advice is to be extra careful with removing and putting back on the rear fairings. I bumped into an issue reassembling the tail because I overlooked the placement of one of the tail pieces. Not a big deal, but you've got to be meticulous and take it slow. BTW, thanks for this video. It made all the difference during the install.

[@TSTindustries]

Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate the extra pointer for our viewers. Cheers!

I’ve been looking to grab a ZX-6r. This year was to busy and hectic so I’ve pushed it out and now winter is approaching in less than 2 months..... but come spring, I’ll definitely be getting a zx-6r and the TST kit will be the 1st thing I do. Best on the market I’ve seen!! And I’ve been searching like crazy!! Awesome job TST!!

[@TSTindustries]

Good stuff man. Thank you for the positive comment...we always appreciate it. We spent a lot of time on the design and development of these components. Hopefully you get your bike soon and we can help you get it customized to your liking.

[@SubiSkank]

TSTindustries Your R&D definitely shows through the products! Let’s just hope it’s a quick winter with very little snow lol I’d be more than happy to move back to FL (Ocala) and enjoy bike weather year round again. However, I’ve been rather unsuccessful talking the wife into moving to FL. One day maybe. In the meantime, I’ll be looking forward to spring!

[@echo.motion]

@@SubiSkank I’m hoping to get the 2021 zx-6r this coming winter. The white and grey one looks so good to me. Which color are you planning to get? I bought the TST tail light for my ninja 400 about 2 years ago and it still looks amazing. 😊

[@SubiSkank]

@@echo.motion I actually went to flatout motor sports last week to see if they had any ZX6R in stock. None in stock but they did have a 650 in stock with the white and grey color. After seeing that white and grey, I knew that was the color to get!! Initially I was looking to get the storm grey but that’s not happening in 2020-2021 so I’ll be getting the white/grey. Look beautiful in person!

[@echo.motion]

@@SubiSkank I bet! I’ve only seen the white and grey in pictures and videos. I test rode the 2020 zx-6r KRT edition yesterday and it was such a blast to ride. I love the quick shifter and the riding position. I have the storm grey/black/yellow ninja 400. It was the best color scheme imo.

[@rl-ub9hx]

Holy Crap guys, I order this and some Gilles rearsets late night on the 16th and here it is noon of the 18th and I'm installing the parts. Pandemic Be Damned, y'all make it happen!

[@rl-ub9hx]

Install and programming was simple. What blows my mind is how much better your unit fits than the factory light. I couldn't get the factory light to stop rattling without a lot of tape and padding. Yours fit perfect and secure with no adjusting or rigging crap up. These manufacturers need to use your products.

[@TSTindustries]

We spend a lot of time in R&D and go through a lot of prototyping iterations before we make injection molding tools. We strive to correct any inconsistencies from the factory. We have been doing that for a long time. There are a lot of our competitors who just copy the OEM parts without regard to how they actually fit and function. We re-do everything. Thank you so much for noticing. I hope you tell the world. Cheers!

[@rtificial8292]

Kinda like the design of the jpa version of these lights. Hope to see some upgrades to the taillight lenses

[@TSTindustries]

Not sure what the JPA version is as we are the original designers of this tail light. Any other company offering this light with different colors or features simply copied our original design.

[@TSTindustries]

You reset them as shown in the video, push them in and then press the center until it pops in flush with the head. The extra connector is in fact for the OE license plate light. It isn't molex brand but it is a two conductor connector. I'm happy to hear that everything works great. Cheers!

hi, do you plan to making underbody exhaust for kawasaki zx6 2019, to hide those exhaust in housing?

[@TSTindustries]

At the moment we are not planning that.

[@robscherer]

I see that this is set up without the addition of the license plate light, is that needed? Or does this setup provide plenty of light for the license plate? I would assume at night there is no light on the license plate making it impossible to see without braking.

[@TSTindustries]

If you want to illuminate your license plate then you will have to add that light. The tail light does not provide any white light on the license plate.

[@Kubetsu]

This is a great light. But now I have a CE light on. :-/ EDIT: *** TST reached out to me, figured out the error - do not test the turn signals without all the cables plugged in. It'll cause a CE Light because of the Servo. Also, purchase the Relay that they recommend. It's too easy of an install not to have. It makes the Strobe Light & Sequential Lights look wonderful!

[@TSTindustries]

That is not related to the tail light. We have done a number of these in house, and sold hundreds to 19+ ZX6R owners, and nobody had this issue yet. One time there was an issue where the CE light turned on but when we read the code it was because the tip over sensor was disconnected and bike powered up. Someone missed a step in the sequence of installation and cause the CE light to turn on but that was unrelated to the equipment. You should retrieve the code from the dash so you can reference it to what caused CE to come on.

[@rroberts6800]

Will the licence plate holder work for a licence plate outside of US? (Uk)

[@marlattmotos]

What did you do for plate light? Is the brake light throw enough, or is a separate light required by law?

[@TSTindustries]

That would be a part that would be covered in our Fender Eliminator video. In short, we do offer a license plate that’s universal and can be installed on virtually any bike or vehicle. Finding out legality would rest on you as we’re not familiar with laws of every city/region.

[@marlattmotos]

@TSTindustries I ordered your tail tidy/fender eliminator as well with the "panel patch" so everything is there to hook up I just haven't ordered a light. If I need one by law I'll be ordering yours.

[@petertenaglia1709]

Question. I have a 2021 ZX6R that came with this setup and I was told it wont pass inspection because the blinkers need to be further apart. Do you make something so I can get my sticker then remove after? Thanks

[@TSTindustries]

Yes, you can purchase both of the products linked below to either introduce external signals in addition to the integrated ones or you can disconnect the integrated signals and only use external signals. The choice is yours. Y-Splitter - tstindustries.com/tst-kawasaki-y-style-signal-harness-splitter.html Rear Pod Turn Signal Kit - tstindustries.com/tst-led-rear-pod-turn-signal-bundle-kawasaki.html

[@MyShit893]

Are you guys going to make a version like this tail light for the +2017 Yamaha R6 & R1? If so when would it be out?

[@TSTindustries]

The R6 and R1 have a very slender OEM tail light. We decided to not make a tail light for that bike because there is not enough room to make signals distinguishable. We do have some designs for the R6 and R1 that are external signals, just haven't completed the projects yet.

[@TeethOvHellmouth]

Hey Bart my integrated taillight came with two extra couplers attached to it one green and one brown what are those intended for? To tap into for my license plate light?

[@TSTindustries]

At some point Kawi switched the type of connector they use for signals. We need to ensure compatibility across all the years of this model so we had to add the extra connector. You just use the ones that work with your bike and leave the remaining ones not connected

[@dominicmercado6689]

The bundle from the website comes with a flasher relay but do i really need it with this new taillight because i do not see it being used in this video. im also getting the fender eliminator kit

[@TSTindustries]

In my experience of working on the 19+ and 24+ models, when you replace the rear OE signals with LED signals the flash rate gets faster. If you also replace the front signals it gets even faster. So this is where i use the appropriate relay to remedy the fast flash. If you don't replace tje relay you will likely have fast flash. This does not damage anything, but may be confusing as ot is not the standard accepted flash rate

[@brandonpatterson51]

Thank you Bro ....love the help ....I have same bike in Orange

[@TSTindustries]

Nice!

[@VETTE_Drummer]

Same. The color is choice 👌

[@Diskubredor76]

Sir, where can I buy that kind of tail lights?

[@pravesh736]

If the flash rate doesn't matter to us, is it ok to use it without resistors or relay? Just the integrated tail light. Will it damage the light?

[@TSTindustries]

The flash rate will not damage the light. If you are trying to use sequential signal, the sequence will not have enough time to complete if your flash rate is too fast, and you won't light up all the signal LEDs.

[@pravesh736]

[@savmarz87]

When showing the after, the bikes turn signals went from a regular 85 cycle to a fade out thing... how was this done

[@TSTindustries]

If you are talking about the sequential signal mode that wipes amber light from center out, then it is one of the programmable modes that we built into our lights. There is a little button on the light enclosure, accessible from the trunk compartment after installation, and with each press of that button you toggle through 9 combinations of programs.

Nope. You can't damage the lighting components with fast flash. Please note that if your bike signals flash very fast, and you've chosen the sequential signal program for signaling, then the sequence will not finish because the cycle time for each flash is too short. In that case you will not be lighting up all the signal LEDs.

You most likely disconnected something like the exhaust servo and powered the bike. If you plugged it back in it just needs time to reset.

If you are asking about the new ZX25R that just launched with the 4 cyl engine then this is the same light that will fit in it.
