Simple yet very informative video. Thanks!
So many questions , great video !!
I finally did it and very happy with results and the recommended parts worked great ! Diagrams we're not needed but I did have to pull my head out of my a** and I did a lot of mock up with the battery and the handlebar switch and a light. Thanks for a good tutorial!
I would love to learn about your passenger pegs. Thank you for the great video!
Thank you for the links and explanation. A wiring diagram just hand drawn would be super helpful!
Hiw nice of this guy to answer everyone's questions! ....NOT!!!!😒
omg thankgod you made this video
Nice video! Very informative.. thanks
You got it man glad I could help 👍🏻
I’m slow in learning this, could you walk me through the process a little slower on what wires to run to the spark plug and the capacitor and the tusk battery? Also so does the battery now get a constant charge? What rear light is that?
Can i eun it without a battery im doing it for honda xr350r 1985
Hi Patrick. Great video btw. Im doing this to my xr this week. I bought a tusk enduro kids a rectifier and capacitor. I don't know exactly where to splice in tge capacitor though. Im new to the electoral world. Do i attach it to the harness after the fuse?
Hey, I'm looking at doing a conversion on my XR400. This was helpful! Just wondering if you need a battery for the bike when you're doing this? Currently mine doesn't seem to have a battery. Any idea what I need to do in that case? Thanks!
Finally
Hi Patrick, thank you for sharing this video, I would like to know:
What's the differences between stock regulator and the aftermarket?
That lithium battery charge with the engine generator or you need charge it before running?
I have XR650R with out battery and wondering to add one.
I like led. But God blam those aftermarket light housings are hideous...lol. but thanks for this video. Simple and sweet.
Excelente video , será similar hacerlo a mi Yamaha wr 400?
I noticed you can switch the light on and off and also hi and low beam. My stock 202 XR400R does not have a switch for any of that. When I start the bike the light comes on. Any thoughts on that? Also, does the battery need a regulator so that it does not over charge??
Got the regulator/rectifier spliced in started bike fine ..spliced in battery and capacitor , started bike , was reving bike a little when snap capacitor blew out explosively! No pos or neg marked on these capacitors ..thoughts, ideas
any chance u have a wiring diagram for this?
Followup to exploding capacitor..the oval mark on these capacitors indicates negative. Good thing Amazon sends you six of these..rehooked it up , started the bike , and I think I've got DC and the battery is charging. Next I've got to try and figure out the handlebar switch , horn, lights, etc
Hey man thanks! I have a question. I got a xr600r. Would this be the same?
With the battery do u have to recharge it like when the bike isnt running? or is it wired up to the stator? also how do U wire it to the stator to charge when running
It's a 3s pack (11.1v nominal), does it have any trouble receiving 14.5v or whatever the regulator outputs? I was thinking about trying this with a 4s pack instead since the nominal voltage is much closer to what the charging system outputs.
I have an ‘80 XR 500. I put a 6v LED in the headlight and it worked for a while. Then the headlight burned out and it burned out my taillight, but the brake light still works. I put back the stock headlight and now the taillight works / brakes fine. But when I brake, my headlight dims. I thought I blew the 6v regulator, so I bought another unit and I get the same results. Do you have any ideas? Please help 😢
I just bought an LED bulb off. Amazon stuck it in the socket and it works just fine. Off the stock stater
It will work but it will burn up the led’s eventually
Those passenger pegs! Did you do something custom?
Awesome Video, I noticed your passenger footpegs screwed into factory bolt spots. Can you send me where you got those pegs from, been trying to find a decent passenger peg so my 8 yr old son can ride along. Thanks for the video, i may eventually change my headlight. Im just now concerting xr400r to dual sport.
Bro that is nice, I need some help to conect my xr400 electric system!I have the original cdi, but my regulator is 6 wires! Let me know if you can help me thanks
I'm working on a 82 XR500R going over to 12v. I have my 12v power working good but at low rpm have the light shutter problem. Seems like your battery and capacitor fix this. I was wanting to know if you could send me a wiring diagram. Thank you for your time
Were you able to complete the 12v conversion on your xr500 ? I have a 83 xr500r im wanting to do the same thing to it. If you have any diagrams I could follow I would greatly appreciate the help
My kx250f stator only puts out 45W would that be enough?
How about adding turn signals .
Hi Patrick... Can I ask you please for a wiring diagram of what you did or a way to contact you? Much appreciated!!
Where do you get the dc regulator ??
