  • Suzuki DR-Z400 Super Moto LED Upgrade. Here is a link to purchase the LED Headlamp: amzn.to/3erReIY
    My first modification on the my brand new 2020 Suzuki DR-Z400/SM. LED Headlights are not available on these motorcycles, and many past retofits were not only expensive, but required skill sets in modification of brackets, boby parts, and often wiring work.
    That is in the past with many advancements in the World of LED Lighting designs. The Auxito LED Bulb used here is robust, compact, and has all the feature we need built right into the bulb. Heatsink design uses a built-in cooling fan, LED Driver is internal, and the aluminum body helps disburse heat from the LED Chips and circuits.
    And the compact size is close enough to the original Halogen Bulb that it fits right into the factory headlight housing. Many competetion Bulbs use huge heatsinks, and external drivers that will not fit the tigh spaces behind the DR-Z's headlamp. All this foe $25.00 a bulb? Yes Indeed!
    I cover the concept, the product, the install, the static testing, road testing with stock vs. retrofit comparison's. Last but not least, my favorite, long distanct High Beam mode is on the Video too!
    Thank you for watching, your support, and let's all learn a few details along the way.

      I found a pair of heated gloves on Mercari new in the box in unopened sealed bags for $90.
      Battery powered.
      They work great.
      I bit bulky but worth is in the colder mornings.
      I swap out for a regular glove on the way home.
      So far the new headlight is working great.
      Most of my route is lit up pretty well but every little bit helps. Also less draw on the battery.

    • @frdbecker
      @frdbecker  Před 3 lety +4

      Yes I bought the 2 pack, and it's for 'vehicles', but it fits perfect, works great. This way each light is also cheaper. I am using second one on another bike. If I wasn't I'd sell it to another rider. If I find a link to a single of the same model, I will update the info on that.

    Does the bulb fit on the DR-S?

    • @frdbecker
      @frdbecker  Před 2 lety

      I don't have a DRZ-S, BUT most bikes I have worked on have the H-4 bulb like the DRZ-SM. I'd almost bet Suzuki didn't reinvent the wheel. If it's easy to pull your bull and compare it to a photo on the web that would be a good verification or ask your local dealer what the replacement bulb part number is. I tried to do a quick web search but it wasn't readily able to come up with it. If you figure it out share it here, we'd all like to know. Thank you for chiming in and ride safe.
