- In this video I will show you how to install a super bright LED headlight in a Kawasaki Vulcan S 650. Here is the headlight I used (not sponsored) www.amazon.com...
i have a 2022 vulcan s and i had the same problem with the throttle. the reality is that it's a high-revving engine (came from the Ninja). once you get up to like 3-4k rpm it all starts to smooth out (you can even cruise at like 6-7k im told), and the engine stays cool no problem. when i first got it i drove it just like you because everything ive been taught was to keep rpms low to conserve gas and less wear on the engine. but this engine is designed to spin faster while cruising. once you get over your intuition youll realize the full potential of the bike. its a really fun ride lol ride safe and thanks for the vid, im in the market for an LED bulb
I wish it was still available, ive tried several and got a small v area with dark spots.
Get your ECU reflashed wirh Shouldabeen Engineering.
What about that throttle tamer you mention in the beginning, as one of the two complaints you have? What did you do for that? My Vulcan S is very twitchy at lower speeds.
Kai, I considered the throttle tamer, which is a mechanical device that replaces your OEM throttle, but decided to install the Booster Plug instead. The booster Plug connects to the bike's computer and gives the bike more power as well as correcting the twitchy throttle. If you want to see my review or how to install it you can follow this link czcams.com/video/D1bQ0yisYks/video.html
Best of luck with your Vulcan S and ride safe.
So the h4 uses the original plug? Just making sure I didn't miss anything. Thanx. Your videos are great
That is correct, there was no additional wiring required. The light is plug and play.
thx guy i will change my. light
It makes a difference
Any more videos of the led headlight driving
I think the only other night time video I have after replacing the headlight is the video where I installed the Booster plug. Skip to around the 6 minute and 26 second mark for that portion of the video. czcams.com/video/D1bQ0yisYks/video.html
@@themotorcyclegene tks buddy
Did you ever change the Running Light bulb?
I only ever replaced the high/low beam main headlight. The smaller light that comes on when the key is turned, before the engine is started never got changed.
@@themotorcyclegene ok great! You happy with the outcome of it? I seen they have a whole LED assembly but I wanna keep the adjustment with the stock.(know the LED conversion kits can be adjusted with washers and such.) My bike before this was a 2003 Suzuki intruder 1400 and it had Halogen bulbs so I'm used to them! Going to pick up a 2022 Kawasaki Vulcan S ABS this February or March.
Is that bulb for both low and high beam? What about the DRL?
It is the high and low beam, but not the driving light.
@@themotorcyclegene not sure what you mean it does the high and low bean but not the driving light? I have a 2020 And my low bean comes on automatically isn't that your low bean? Or am I doing something wrong
@@michealwhynot the light in my video is the high and low beam. The low comes on automatically when the engine is on, but if the key is turned on without starting the engine a smaller light is on that you can’t really see once the headlight comes on. I referred, incorrectly, to that light as the driving light. The low beam in the headlight is the driving light and the LED that I used to replace the OEM light is both the high and low beam. Hopefully that helps.
@@themotorcyclegene yes that helps out alot I just bought my first bike it's a 2020 650 Vulcan leftover it's brand new
The DLR is a 194. I got a 194 LED bulb 6000k and worked great.
Good video. Does the new light have any strain or effect on the electrical system? Do you have a link to Amazon for the bulb you bought and used? Thanks Bill
I have not found any evidence of strain, and according to the packaging that came with the light, it takes fewer watts to operate than the OEM bulb. Here is the link for the one I got www.amazon.com/dp/B07TF8XCMM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@themotorcyclegene thank you, I appreciate it.
Does the led light come with a fan?
The light has a built in fan, and the manufacturer says it is a "12000RPM powerful turbo cooling fan to ensure a long-time life-span."
@@themotorcyclegene Thank you for the answer, has the LED light serviced you well since you had it? The after market complete headlight assembly seems to be too costly? Somewhere over $300 to $400 if not more. it seems like a more of a cost efficient alternative. By any chance did you have to add a relay with it?
How has this light held up?
The light has held up well and I have not experienced any problems with it. Also, I have not found any evidence of it overheating, which is something a lot of people ask me about.
@@themotorcyclegene Thanks! I ordered the Sealight LED and hope I don't run into any issues.
No fan...will burn the headlight
