How to Convert Your Honda XR400 to an LED DC Lighting System with Battery and Headlight

[@lrn3d340]

I would love to learn about your passenger pegs. Thank you for the great video!

[@danclark9522]

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!

[@benkanobe7500]

Thank you for the links and explanation. A wiring diagram just hand drawn would be super helpful!

[@oh-qn6ht]

Simple yet very informative video. Thanks!

[@ryu1014]

So many questions , great video !!

[@lancehosea662]

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?

[@STHusky]

Can i eun it without a battery im doing it for honda xr350r 1985

[@legenderekfixes]

Hiw nice of this guy to answer everyone's questions! ....NOT!!!!😒

[@danclark9522]

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

omg thankgod you made this video

[@facetious_1]

I like led. But God blam those aftermarket light housings are hideous...lol. but thanks for this video. Simple and sweet.

[@project4stroke876]

any chance u have a wiring diagram for this?

[@zachelmer9210]

Those passenger pegs! Did you do something custom?

[@jabrielwhite17]

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?

[@paulkleanthous5482]

Great video for a weekend sparky but anyone on here got any suggestions for an idiot like me just wants to put in an after market LED globe and have it be a bit brighter?

[@markniggemyer8353]

I just bought an LED bulb off. Amazon stuck it in the socket and it works just fine. Off the stock stater

[@daltonnadeau1339]

It will work but it will burn up the led’s eventually

[@danclark9522]

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

[@arcangel271189]

Excelente video , será similar hacerlo a mi Yamaha wr 400?

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.

[@melasonos6132]

Hey man thanks! I have a question. I got a xr600r. Would this be the same?

[@vincentsmith2950]

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

[@TartsHouseOfMuscle]

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

[@buellertech]

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.

[@gillhalford8228]

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 😢

[@robiemyers3227]

Hi Patrick... Can I ask you please for a wiring diagram of what you did or a way to contact you? Much appreciated!!

[@cleanfreakinteriors7359]

Nice video! Very informative.. thanks

[@patrickr2228]

You got it man glad I could help 👍🏻

[@balconio1172]

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.

Finally

[@mrrecliner7675]

My kx250f stator only puts out 45W would that be enough?

[@protectork9831]

How about adding turn signals .

[@scottkelliott]

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!

[@mattbasson9591]

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??

[@izyo520]

Where do you get the dc regulator ??

[@project4stroke876]

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
