This guide covers installing the INNOVV K2/K3/C5 front camera mount for the Yamaha Tracer 900 / 900GT. It tucks the camera into the nose of the bike for a clean, protected, unobstructed view.
At a glance
- Difficulty: Moderate — one person, but you’ll drill 4 small holes in the nose bodywork
- Time: ~15 minutes
- Reversible: Mostly — the mount removes, but the 4 drilled holes are permanent (hidden inside the nose notch)
- Tools: 3–3.5 mm drill bit + drill (1/8″ or 9/64″) · 2.5 mm hex wrench (long handle helps) · non-marking tape you can write on (painter’s tape) · a pen/marker
- In the box: mount body · screw template · 2× inner nut-holder/washer strips · 4× 3×16 mm screws · TPU insert · 2× 3×12 mm screws + Nylock nuts

Mark & drill the holes
- Unpack the kit and find the screw-template part.
- Apply non-marking tape to the inside of the notch in the center of the bike’s nose.
- Hold the template under the nose and let it settle naturally into the angles of the notch — don’t force it; slide it lightly back and forth until all the angles rest properly.
- Holding the template steady, mark the 4 hole locations. Then check twice that nothing moved and all 4 marks line up with the template. (You can keep or discard the template after marking — it isn’t used in the final mount.)
- Drill the 4 holes with the 3–3.5 mm bit.
Mount the body
- Find the 2 inner nut-holder/washer strips and the 4× 3×16 mm screws. Remove the screws and confirm the locknuts are seated in the tabs (a little tape helps hold loose ones).
- Secure the mount body one screw at a time. Put a screw through a hole in the mount body and hold it with the hex wrench. Line it up to the matching hole in the bodywork and push it lightly through. From behind the nose, place a nut-holder strip onto that screw with your fingers, then drive the screw in — leaving it slightly loose for now. Repeat for all 4, alternating sides.
- Tip: keep a finger on the back of each nut as you start threading so it doesn’t push out of the holder. If a nut spins in the holder, hold it with a small wrench.
- Tighten in a cross pattern until the mount is steady. Do not over-tighten — you only want it solid, not distorting the plastic.
Install the camera
- Slide the TPU insert into the mount body — it’s keyed to go in one orientation and sits flush to the front.
- Slide the camera into the mount. (It’s usually easier to push the K2/K3/C5 in from the back, but either way works.) Confirm the TPU insert stays seated in its keyed grooves — this is meant to be a tight fit.
- Power on the camera and check the live feed to confirm orientation. Slide it forward as needed to clear any bodywork obstructions. Do not push it so far forward that it isn’t fully clamped, or it could work loose over time.
- Install the 2× 3×12 mm screws + Nylock nuts in the base clamp and tighten until the camera is secure. Don’t over-tighten — you can damage the mount or camera.
- Route the wire back to your DVR, and you’re set.
✓ You’re done when: the mount is solid (no flex, plastic undistorted), the camera is clamped firmly with the TPU seated, and the live feed shows a clear, level, unobstructed view.
To remove or re-check the screws later: take out the camera, pull the TPU sleeve, and you can reach all 4 screws with the hex driver again.
