I recently purchased my M1 license in California and bought a 2004 XR400R with 559 odometer miles for $1600. In the near future, I will move to a place where the legalization of off-road motorcycles on the road is quite easy, provided that your bike meets the different requirements. I have been driving a road-approved XR400R for about twelve years. I still don`t have a battery on it. I operate the factory headlight. I used LED turn signals and a 6V horn. Motorcycle batteries are initially inconsistent. I decided to skip it and never looked back. I do not see the point. I have a brother who walked with the Baja Designs Kit on a bike he used to own. I was not very impressed.

It did not provide sufficient benefits to justify the cost and effort. Dunno. Others will certainly disagree, but I doubt any of them have driven an XR400R as far and as long as I have. Going back and forth of 800 miles was the norm for me in 2015. I bought my XR 2005. The XR 400R, as far as I know, doesn`t have a battery and I`m intimidated by what it takes to get legal street lights. Has anyone made a double sporty conversion with this bike? If so, what kit did you use and how easy was it? Is there a kit under $500 that works well and comes with good instructions? I looked around in the road approval kits. I really have to make mine legal to drive in the city. Is there one kit that you think is better than the other? Wants him to be able to resist driving on the trails. Tusk Enduro Kit, the instructions were clear, the assembly was easy, the parts fit, everything works, the horn is a little quiet compared to the exhaust.

It looks great too. The lights are quite bright and the battery lasts quite a long time. Great kit overall LEDs run for a long time on the battery of the kit = the taillight is nice and bright – very easy to connect – everything works well Oh bad mirror, not convex, can`t see much with it – don`t use – motorcycles really need a convex mirror everything else is good! Have the bike marked first before buying money, if your condition allows it. That would be investing the money in the kit and finding that you can`t get a plate. If you don`t need an inspection, you might as well start now. AR is the abbreviation for the state of Arkansas, HS stands for Hare Scramble. ÐÑ Ð¿ÑÐ3/4ÑÑÐμÐ1/4 Ð3/4Ñз Ñð².

I would also suggest fitting a taillight mount (just a simple L mount) and replacing the standard unit with an approved dot unit with the license plate light.

I noticed that this attracts me much less attention from the bulls. The alternative is not to charge the battery from the stator and simply keep the battery on a tender. This is the cheapest and easiest option. This is what I`m doing right now on my YZ300, but I intend to install a regulator/rectifier to charge the stator battery. A reg/rec converts the AC power generated by the stator to direct current, which the battery accepts. www.bajadesigns.com/products/dual-sport-kit-ez-mount-kick-enduro-red.asp What is the AR HS series? Is it on this Fourm? Sorry new on the site and not yet good at finding things. The kit was easy to install. Just a problem with a rear signal light. The PCB soldier was not there.

But easy to fix with Soldier Gun. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage distribution by star, we do not use a simple average. Instead, our system takes into account, for example, the current rating and whether the reviewer purchased the item on Amazon. It also analyzed the reviews to verify reliability. I used the defense kit, just add a dual beam headlight for certain conditions. There is a great article here at thumpertalk at xr250/400 Forum. Tusk/BD lighting kits are easy to wire. If you need something more individual, all it takes is a little more planning.

The core is as follows: battery -> fuse box -> switch -accessories > -> mass to the battery. I agree that BD probably won`t spend much time developing new bisport kits, but I`m sure they will always offer them. They are very popular. The product is great, but the state of Oregon does not agree to register the bike and end the end of the story. Buyers aren`t aware of a single issue that came with the kit, but do some research to make sure you don`t end up with the same issues I bought. Do you have links to teaching materials? How does a layman like me do what you did to your XR? Cool bike, take a look at the defense lighting set. Rocky Mountain sells them for less than $200. It only took me a few hours to complete the installation. It would have been nice if there had been a brake switch for non-hydraulic brakes. Otherwise, I love the kit.

I had a converted 99 XR400R with the same configuration. I never had any problems. If I did it again, I would do a full DC conversion on the bike with a scooter-sized lead-acid battery. NIMH batteries are a joke and don`t last a week before frying and losing the headlight when the bike stops on the trail. Cutting into the air box to fit it is not so bad. You also don`t really need to upgrade the stator, especially if you convert to LED/HID headlight. I feel like Baja Designs won`t be focusing on coated off-road bikes much longer – it seems like there`s a lot of money to be made by selling expensive LED light strips to wealthy baby boomers for their $30,000 side by side. The trick with the XR400 is to charge the battery from the stator. The standard stator is something like 35-45Watt.

Not enough to charge the battery unless you skip the turn signals and use a low-power LED headlight/taillight. Just a heads-up, this odometer is not an odometer, it`s a travel computer. You can reset it at any time. It is doubtful that your bike is only 500 miles old. What about driving brake lights, license plate lights, high beam and dipped-beam headlamps? I have the Baja Designs Kit. That leaves a lot to be desired, but it`s probably better than what I could set up on my own. Radio Shack`s voltage rectifier setup here also works great! The polar patterns are recessed and are awesome, and the LED taillight is super bright, I love it! Another element of the kit that I really don`t like is that the kill switch is moved to the center. He never bit me too hard, but I feel it`s dangerous. I might suggest skipping the key switch on the bike and relying on a disc brake lock like a Xena instead.

The hot wiring of these bikes is a laugh, I won`t say how, but it takes about 5 seconds. The kit should include a small NiCad battery that can be mounted anywhere on the bike, as well as almost anything you need. Get a Baja Designs kit, it should have everything you need. The Tusk child is fine if you just want to „get away with” him to get through, but he will quickly collapse. You can get spare parts and individual hardening parts for baja Designs children, their support is very good even for old kits and they respond to emails. Customer reviews, including reviews of product stars, help customers learn more about the product and decide if it`s the right product for them. Usually, people put the battery in the air box. If you use a lithium battery that is small enough, you may be able to attach it under your seat.

Look at the aftermarket stators or a stator return. If you can get about 80 watts from the stator, you`re pretty well installed unless you intend to install serious lighting or heated handles. You need to be a member to leave a review The Tusk Motorcycle Enduro lighting kit is designed to be an easy way to provide front and rear turn signals, taillights/brakes, horn and rearview mirror for your motorcycle. The Tusk Motorcycle Enduro lighting kit is easy to install and does not require cutting or cluttering your motorcycle`s existing wiring. The components have universal applications and work on almost all motorcycles with minor modifications. The kit is intended for motorcycles with existing headlights. Spend time with guys from the AR HS series or enduro blackjack riders. Many kits include turn signals that many states don`t need unless they come out of the factory on the bike. In Texas, I installed a brake light on the back of my XR4 and insp and plated it.

That`s the sum of my mods. Do not do more than necessary. KISS!. Of course, I don`t drive much in the city, if you really drive a lot in the city, you have to worry more about the details.
