Спорт
Here's my setup to run an LED light on my 2020 Yamaha YZ250X powered by a Milwaukee Drill Battery.

Sick! I’ve had this setup for probably 3 years👌🏻 18v is way brighter then 12v. Also have the 60 dollar brightsource backup flood from lordco😂
Duuuude... When I saw the battery mount to use a tool battery to power the light... mind blown! I'm trying to find an adapter for either WORX or PWR POD batteries. I want to run that setup with a Polisport E-Blaze headlight on a 2021 YZ125X. Thanks for the vid! 😁
This is absolutely genius. Thank you. I’ve got flexx bars as well. Going to try a light bar and mount through the flexx bar pivot holes so there’s no modification required. Awesome!

Hell yeah dude!!
Did a similar set up with DeWalt 20v (thinner) worked good. The diamond LED universal snow bike kit works good too, everything in the box!
Thxzzz dude !! Great work 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Slick set-up but I didn't see a fuse. You might want to add one that's a little higher that the light's rated amperage. It should be located on the positive wire as close the the battery as possible. Remember that fuses are not to protect the light but rather to protect the wiring. In others words, run the correct sized wire too.
Genius setup! But also, YAMAHA, cmon. Whip up a YZ250 or YZ300. Electric start. Kick start. Headlight and taillight. Bigger tank. And maybe a tool pouch with a handy oil measuring cup built in somewhere idk. Oh and electric FWD would be a nice touch. Probably asking for too much. But it’s about time the YZ come into the 21 pst century.
Thank You ✔️
Cool setup! I'm looking for a better headlight, and this looks like what am looking for. Maybe this in addition to a good headlamp would be perfect for night enduro! **
Good video dude

That’s awesome, great setup. I’m running something similar upfront but it’s a 7” light bar. It’s incredibly bright. Powering it with the estart kit/stator for my yz250x. For just running a light this would be the way to do it. Well done

Where’s the stator from
How many watts is the side shooter light? I’ve ordered all the same switch, battery mount and I have the 5.0ah Milwaukee battery. But according to my calculations, 36 watts of led light pod will Kill the battery in like 1.5hr’s Or am I off my rocker.

It's made by Night Rider LED called a side shooter
Where did you get the battery mount that you mounted under the seat?

If you google it for the battery brand you intend to use, you should be able to find it on Amazon. That's what I did at least.
Did your yz250x use an extra fan?

Do you ever enter the hard enduro race with yz250x ? Because my yz 250x always overheat when enduro race
Do you think the fork travel is going to cause problems with the brake line contacting the light?

Where did you find the wiring harness that makes the junction between the battery, switch and light?

Does the 18v battery not burn the switch out ?

Good catch... the current version I am running has fuse or something in there to prevent issues. Sorry, don't know the correct terminology.

I Only know because it burnt my switch out haha , put a front light on my Yz 250 with a m18 battery works well but will most likely end up putting a bigger stator on I think
