Stebel Air horn fitment - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows the amp rating of the standard FZ6 horn relay. I have just bought a Stebel compact horn and noticed that the provided relay is 30amp.
It would save a whole lot of work if the Yamaha relay was up to the 30amp pull.....Would be just a case of removing the Yamaha horn and bolting up the Stebel.

Any advice would be good...........Cheers guys.

That horn pulls a bunch of current.

Your also using one of the Yamaha horn lines as a signal wire which is tied back to the relay.

I would think if you tied both the signal wire and the 30 amp relay wire to the stock yamaha horn harness you'd probably fry the horn button/harness as its not designed to carry that much load....

The battery is right there, I would't chance wiring it (the 30amp hot wire) anywhere but direct to the battery (as directed)...

As a side note, the Stebel relay is not known for its longevity, I'd place it somewhere not hard to get to (I placed mine under the left inner black fairing) for easy replacement should it go out...

I just searched "stebel horn fit*" (the asterix in the last word is necessary as the word is less than 4 letters), and I found a couple of interesting threads, in one of them it says that the fitted FZ6 horn is only 2.5 amps.
Hope this helps in some way.

Thanks for that guys, I have ordered up some heavy guage wire (super flexi) and a fuse and holder.
Can't wait to fit this, just tried it on the bench and my ears are still ringing. I only hope it does'nt give Ma & Pa Kettle a heart attack when I come up behind them.

Keep the shiny side up................Macy

I got mine with the install kit so it was all there. I forgot you can get it without the kit. Once done, it is WELL WORTH the work..

Saved my butt several times... Got it on 2 of my 3 bikes (couldn't find room on the FJR)...

I'm on my 2nd horn. But for $40, well worth it.

One a side note, I have my Stebel mounted where the exhisting stock horn was mounted.

I thought if you placed it there it could hit your front fender.

I haven't heard anything bad (longevity) on the horn itself, just the relay that comes with the kit.

I mounted mine behind the left side of the fairing, just sticking out from the inner black fairing. I made a short bracket out of 1/8" aluminum(approx 1" wide), drilled one hole in the fairing main stay and tucked it in neatly. You can't see it unless you look for it...

Just a reminder, you can take the horn off the compressor part and connect it with a rubber hose (like I and others did).
