Post by: Deiv on May 15, 2014, 02:10:23 AM

Hy all

Has anybody had electrical issues when useing Xenon HID headlight on Gen2 Busa ???
I have heard , that the original 55W headlight bulb is somehow part of the battery charching system/voltage regulating or something like that  :?  Can anyone comment please ???
I`m having strange electrical error sometimes and can`t find the cause  :evil:

Best  Deiv

I've ran 55w HID on mine for years, no issues.  Make sure to wire in a relay when installing.

The Xenon wasn`t the problem - it appeared,that Gen2 ECU is not working OK with Gen1 clusters/speedoblock   :?  Now the Gen2 clusters are installed and bike runs like a champ  :bike:

Without a relay it'll put extra strain on the ballast.  Most stock stock wiring is thin and can't easily supply the current for the ballast to convert DC to AC and ignite the bulb.  They all seems to work for a while, but inevitably it'll prematurely die.
