The headlight sucks even with high beam on...what can I upgrade to for better lighting. I'm looking to spend no more than 200$.
Cyclops h4 led (about 75 bucks), I changed to a Baja designs headlight housing because my 06 did not take an h4 and it's a better assembly (about 100 bucks). Much, much better light, you can ride with low beam and actually see where you are going.
No the stock harness gives AC power. The stock halogen bulb uses either AC or DC. You will need to run a DC power lead from the battery through a relay that is switched to the lead for the smaller city bulb within the stock light housing
Mine would not, others said the 2006 took an h4, however mine looked more like an appliance bulb and the housing where the socket went in was nothing like an h4. So I went with the Baja designs housing that would.
Yeah, just pulled my headlight apart and did some research, its a ba20d adapter with a 35w/35 halgoen bulb. I read a thread on thumper talk ( http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/480492-te610-extra-lighting/page-2 )and someone used a 9007 halogen bulb with some modifications, but it ran hot and melted the assembly. Then I found this 4200 lumen 9007 LED from cyclops ( http://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/4200-lumen-9007-LED-headlight-bulb_p_159.html ) and thought since the LED runs cooler, this would work if i did the same mods as the other tread. what do you guys say?
The stock housing is pretty junky honestly, not sure how much it will take. If it doesn't work and doesn't harm your led if it lets you down you could always upgrade the housing then.
The Cyclops led used the factory wiring, comes with the correct end (for h4 bulb), just put the wires in the correct slot according to the instructions and plug it in. No new wiring needed. I believe ktm runs a.c. on most of their bikes. Could be wrong, I don't drink the Orange koolaid
I know this is an old thread, but are you sure the Stock 610 Harness is AC power? I put a voltmeter on it and I swear I thought I was reading about 12 DC volts at the front.
