Stansport Saddlebag review

A brief review of the Stansport Saddle bags. You can find then here at Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004Z1239G?vs=1
What size fuse do you use? I used a 10 amp and it blew when my battery was low.
I bought a bracket that fits where the stock reflectors bracket is, and it clears the turn into the radiator fairings. The Fenix lights I'm adding are very similar, although a bit smaller. I use two rubber washers between the metal washers for the mounts connection to the bracket. My harness has a relay and fuse, as well as a switch - keeping just as manual to hit when required, and not wired into high beam etc. But man, there is no room on a DRZ for routing that harness/relay/fuse! Di you run your's under the frame spine or sides? Any tips on how you got it to fit?
So what stays disconnected? What does it do? Or not do since it's now disconnected?
With the kick stand switch did you also twist the wires together and heat shrink?
Sorry for the late response, but yes. I soldered the wires then heat shrinked them
What is the voltage at idling out of stator's red and black?
cool
7 years latwr and i just bought one. Idk yet. Need to see it mounted
The last time I watched your video was nearly a year ago when my DRZ stopped charging and I had to push start it in the middle of a small town in Central WA. That was my last ride of the year, so I procrastinated troubleshooting the issue. In Feb 2023, I tested the stator, it checked good. I can't remember if I checked the regulator/rectifier output or not. I broke my wrist riding my KTM in May and haven't ridden since then. I finally rode my DRZ yesterday. It still won't charge. I need to do more diagnoses on the problem once I get home from the camping/riding trip I'm on. I'm RV camping and doing day rides. I'm glad I was thinking ahead and brought my 4.5 amp Battery Tender charger! I also need to do the free power mod!

Will it improve spark and starter performance please?
Add the JNS headlight and your low beam will be like your current high beam
*I find it strange that manufacturers don't show off their products on RUclips. Or even give discounts to folks as an incentive to review their products. (If they don't want to appear like they're advertising.)*
You're using these on a motorcycle, so this might be kinda a dumb question considering. But I just got these for my wife's bicycle assuming there would probably be Velcro straps to attach them to her rack but it only came with 4 strings. I can't find anything on RUclips of the best way to attach them using the strings, would you by any chance know what I'm supposed to do?
If you ride in the dirt, you might consider oiling your filter.
i wish i could easily hook them up as backup lamps on my bmw. their backup lamps are as close to worthless as is possible.
are you going to tell us the name of the lights?
keep the automatic chain tensioner. it works just fine
Been a year since you've left this comment, and I can confirm it does in fact work fine. Thanks for the comment.
what is that annoying noise in the background? sounds like an animal
I got some. Haven’t put them on a bike yet. I think they’re supposed to be toss overs. I’m not going to toss them over I was going to do like you and I am about halfway done waxing them with Sno-Seal. Oh my bad. 6 year old video. Those are long gone.
Could you pop round to my house and do this on mine please?
In my 5 years of owning my drz, i’ve had my stator failed once, and my rectifier just failed last week. Did the free power mod previously but when i installed the new rectifier, i didn’t have the proper equipment for the job so i connected it as stock. Now i’m about to do the free power mod again as i’m about to install a 40w floodlights, and to counter the higher wattage consumption from the floodlights, i’m changing my front headlight to a 12w LED instead of my current 55w halogen. Hopefully my electrical systems will be fine.
Gracias 💪🏻
I just received the black ones for my ninja (I do have like wearing a backpack) I wanna commute to work with gas so expensive. I think it might be too close to my mufflers. Any ideas?
You could try cutting the bag down the middle and removing some fabric and then restitching it. Nothing a seamstress couldn't handle. Would be a relatively cheap alteration too... Good luck!
@@narcanmedic3841 I sent it back in exchange for a tail bag. It'll be here tomorrow. Thank you
Eh 22
Eh 22 hmm eh
Is there any way that anyone knows to adjust the air fuel cuz it’s capped off for me.
gotta drill the plug, there is a slotted fuel screw underneath
So does this charge the battery faster
It's not necessarily about charging the battery faster as it is about providing a more efficient way to charge the battery. Stock wiring configuration was so inefficient that the battery would still drain even at higher rpms. This mod makes better use of the power generated by the stator to reliably charge the battery while operating the bike within the normal RPM range
And gals? 🙄
Have you studied the areas of linguistics as it pertains to phonology, syntax and pragmatics? Interesting studies about why individuals may use certain idioms based on where they were raised. I hope the video helped with your DRZ mod. Thanks for the view!
@@narcanmedic3841 haha...nice try...I have lived EVERYWHERE and I actually can not remember why I commented on your use of the word 'gals' but it sounded weird...don't get your feelings hurt.
@@GM-he3um I'm glad to hear it! Thanks for the clarification! Be safe
What are you cutting off doing the mod? Where does that connector go?
Hey, thanks for the view. That connection goes to the battery to charge it, just in a very inefficient way. Been running without issue since the mod. Good luck
Excellent video. I’ve had my DRZ since 2006. I’ve heard about the free power mod but never followed through with reading how to accomplish it. Don’t waste the money on an MCCT. I had one. It’s a finicky process to adjust it. I apparently never adjusted mine tight enough so my cam chain wore out. It didn’t fail though. When I replaced the cam chain, I switched back to a later model ACCT.
Great advice! I've held off on the MCT as everything looked great when I did the valve clearance inspection. Thanks for the comment and the view!!
I've never owned a Suzuki, but yet hear I am watching.
Getcha one. You won't be disappointed 👍
Great vid! So you are just bypassing the stock connector? Or is that part of the harness bad on all the bikes? Thanks for the info🍻
Hey! Thanks for the view and the comment. It's not that the harness is "bad" per se. It's more "inefficient" than anything. This mod bypasses a connector that piggy backs a circuit on the wiring loom. It removes a lot of excess wiring in the circuit..less wiring=less resistance=more volts. I'm not an electrician tho, but this mod has caused no issues since posting this vid. Hope this helps! Safe riding!
So its been a while since i first saw this vid, did you ever measure your gains? Im going to do this mod this weekend on my bike so i can add a few things. Any idea what the max wattage is that the bike puts out?
Why are my weights laying on the ground?? My God man.. 🤣 🤣
New bike huh?
Clean wiring mods. Please do the 3x3 with a JD kit rejet. I waited forever to perform that and it was definitely a plus to performance.
I'm planning on that next after I can save up for a full exhaust. Maybe I'll upload that project too. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the video. I'll be doing this on my 2019. I have heated grips and 2 extra sets of lights. I've been lucky so far with 5,200 miles but I know its a common issue where the stator goes bad on these.
Generally, the newer models are having as many issues with the stator. Still, it's not a bad idea to check those stator bolts for loctite. Thanks for the view!
Wow! Great video! Very clear ! Thank you!
Thanks for the comment and the view! Be safe!
Do you happen to know how much available wattage is there on the drz before or after you do this? I wanna run my heated moto jacket.
In stock configuration the stator puts out 14 to 14.5 volts. Anything less than 13.5 won't charge the battery. I'm no electrical engineer so don't quote me on that, I pulled that data from my Clymers manual. Good luck and thanks for the view!
Great review NM! I plan on buying a '22 KLR650 and, after watching this vid, know I'll get these bags for it. Thanx again!
if you do this mod, would it make it draw power even when the key is in the off position?
Nope, circuit is still broken with the ignition off. Thanks for the view and the comment
Decent honest review
Thanks!
mate, conduit for wiring is really cheap.
Definitely, but when you're a mouth breathing simpleton like myself, I found the pre made harness easy to use lol. Thanks for the comment and for the view!
Make a video on how you can put the helmet lock. O. A drz and how it works I have no idea and I can't find a video on RUclips thanks I appreciated ... just subscribed
Not a bade idea! I'll work on that!
@@narcanmedic3841 Thank You.. I also bought a Brake Pedal Switch that goes behind the brake pedal somewhere to make the rear brake light go on and I can't find a video on that neither...if you have this stuff please help me out I have no idea how it goes on. I don't know if I need a bracket or something.
@@VenganzaCayey are you trying to street legal the DRZ400E? The DRZ400S stock comes with a brake light illuminator on both the front and rear brakes.
@@narcanmedic3841 My drz400 does not have the sensor behind the rear foot pedal so the light go on everytime I press the brake and I can't pass inspection without that brake sensor. Plus my brake pedal is after market someone has told me that I need to buy a rear foot pedal that has an attachment to it to connect the sensor but I just wish to see one to see how it works or how is done
It's called the rear brake pedal switch...that's behind the foot pedal somewhere attached by the frame somewhere is basically something that does what the kick stand does for safety when is down.
what amp fuse should be used?
I used a 15A, but it will be dependent on what size wire you use. I would recommend 18AWG automotive or larger. I'm no electrician, but I ran a 14g with a 15a fuse
what is the black plug with the black and red wire originaly used for? What does it do if nothing is connected to it after the mod?
When I referenced the wiring diagram in my Clymer manual it indicates that the plug connects to a circuit that piggybacks the wiring loom back to the battery. In stock configuration, this causes current to be lost as it travels excess wiring (internal resistance).
Thanks boss. Was wondering how you shortened them up. Good idea. I am still waiting for mine to show up. Should be tomorrow
Whats the amp rating on the fuse?
I put a 15A in as I am using 16g wiring. So far, so good. Beside the regulator rectifier is designed to divert excess current into heat, so use the right size fuse based on the wire gauge you use to make your jumper lead.
Looks like you do not have the EVAP system on yours. Removed? Any details you can share on that would be appreciated. Thanks!
Yes I removed those. Easy 3-5lbs of weight saving. It's easy to do and it's pretty intuitive. You'll need to buy a vacuum cap to cover the carburetor vacuum port that feeds the charcoal canister.
Good job on the video. How about removing turn signals and swapping headlight for a round LED? Would that reduce the electrical load?
Those additional mods wold definitely help! I did this video to show the mod with little cost burden. Thanks for the comment!
Good job, sir! This is the only video review I saw and it convinced me to get some for my Honda Shadow. They come in black now, for about $8 more, by the way.
Good to know! Thanks for the comment!
