This is the kit I used https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/H7-HID-Kit-55W-12-24V-Melbourne-with-1yr-warranty/300526900322?hash=item45f8cc9462:g:cYkAAOxyXDhSnReE I have bought other gear from this seller (JTX Lighting) and can vouch that it is good quality, there is a lot of crap quality out there. I...

Its a projector light body, made for HID and Halogen globes and is a good system. A simple electromagnetic arrangement like a relay switch, simple and robust! Rarely a has problems! Do not fear this system, get a H7 HID kit and you will love your lights!

I've had similar behaviour on my KLR650, just conks out at low revs for no good reason, after much thought and checking electrics and finding nothing wrong, I investigated a different avenue. I had a good look at the valve clearances and the decompression set up. Now the exhaust valve just...

Cheapest clutch basket I found was from Partzilla. I reused the nut and gasket with no problems. I also changed to a Graves manual cam tensioner while the clutch cover was off so you can see/feel the chain better, also keeping something wedged against the chain so it didn't move whilst changing...

This is how I mounted the HID gear. The H7 lights come with a grommet attached for the input/output wires, you just need to drill the right size hole in the dust access cover, really easy to do, the rest is plug and play!

I have changed my gen 1 halogen lights out for proper 55w 4300k HID lights (not LED!) and are very happy with them. They are simply awesome! Real HID is the way to go I reckon, and the projector light bodies that Yamaha used are actually made for HID globes. Consider this, 6000k light is great...

I had a hard start recently, it just would not catch. After doing some research, and observing the pump noises at key turn, I have come to the conclusion that if you turn the ignition on with the kill switch in ON position, you get a prime up burst from the pump, but if you turn the ignition key...

I usually stand when getting into tricky stuff, especially sand, but it really depends on what speed you are doing too. I don't think your example of metal beams welded to the foot pegs is very good because of how ridged and inflexible it would be. When you are standing, your body is constantly...

Oh hello bigbob, actually I am along way from you in Perth, Western Australia.. G'DAY!!!

I have a 2010 model and I love it! The clutch basket is soooo easy to do, over in about 30 mins and you don't have to drop oil or anything. To be fair, I haven't ridden the 2nd gen so I can't comment on that, I guess if you want cruise control you might consider it. I added a Rostra car CC and...

Waking up an old post with my take on the Final Drive breather mod. After getting leaking seals front and side from a blocked breather hole due to many kms of red desert dust and years of crusty gravel roads, I decided to install a remote breather up under the seat. Using 4mm hard tough PE...
