There's lots of better horns out there than the Majesty's. I picked the Fiamm low tone horn because another person on this board had installed it with good results.
Stuff you need:
10mm box wrench
12mm box wrench
tube of Loctite
diagonal cutting pliers, box cutter or penknife
The Fiamm low tone horn besides being louder sounds a lot more like a car than the Yamaha's horn. Where I live some people in SUVS think bikes and Honda Civics are road bumps to be driven over so I like sounding like a big Buick.
Anyways: the horn is right underneath the front fairing on the left side (as you sit on the scooter). It is held on by a bracket. Turn the front wheel TOWARDS the horn - then you can get a 10mm wrench in and undo the bracket bolt (I couldn't get a socket wrench to fit).
Disconnect the double wire connector (it just pulls off)
Unbolt the Yamaha horn from the bracket with a 10mm socket.
Unbolt the Fiamm horn from the bracket it came with with a 12mm wrench - save the washers.
The Yamaha bracket had a rubber piece with two metal inserts - push out the inserts.
Now you can bolt the Fiamm horn to the Yamaha bracket - use a drop of Loctite on the threads and use the Fiamm washers.
The Yamaha electrical connector has two connectors the same size as the Fiamm, but they are too close together to fit. They are held together by two V-shaped pieces of plastic - cut these. Now cut about 3/4" of the
protective plastic sheath being careful not to cut the wires or their insulation.
Now you can plug the Yamaha connectors directly to the Fiamm horn.
Bolt on the Yamaha bracket with a drop of Loctite and you are done except since the Fiamm horn is much bigger than the Yamaha make sure it doesn't interfere with the movement of the forks.
