The led def has a better clarity to it. Also have you tried raising your headlight a little (point it up just a hair) the led should reach out a lot further then it is in this video. Just a guess on my part. It made a difference for my bike.

Another fantastic video. I was searching for info on replacing the stock bulb with an LED on an SV650 (it looks like I'll have one in a couple of weeks, now). I should have known the Smokin' Monkey would come up as a resource. :-) Very good video. It looks like it is brighter, but it looked in the video like maybe the pattern isn't as large, and doesn't throw as far. Is that the case? Now, a year later, is it still in? Or did you go back to halogen?

@SmokinMonkeyOG 3 жыл бұрын

Still have the LED in for now. I prefer the white better than the yellow hues from halogen bulbs so I stuck with it. It does have a bit smaller pattern on the road but I don’t mind that much and I usually don’t ride in the country at night so there’s always street lights around to help illuminate the road.

@rockspydre 3 жыл бұрын

@@SmokinMonkeyOG Good explanation. Thanks. Maybe I'll stick with the stock unless/until I run across something else. Most of my riding will be in the country, with almost no streetlights. I saw another type on "Jake TheGardenSnake," but it had such a large and complicated cooling system that I don't think it would fit in the SV.

I did the same a while back, albeit with a different brand known as “nighteye” I found both on high beam and dip there was less of a beam in the led so switched back and bought a halogen night vision which was better in everyday, oh I’ve just taken my givi screen off and yes your right it’s actually better with it off, less pressure directed at my helmet, better steering can’t actually believe the difference. I’m going to review the tuck and roll seat next, thought doubt I’ll get anywhere near good production as you. Ride safe

I am seriously considering the SV for my next bike, own an XT660Z currently, and have watched all of your videos. Thank you very much for your really helpful work mate ! I did notice a difference in the white balance of your side by side videos of the 2 lamps so I am not really sure if their color is correctly represented. In the halogen part, the bike’s LCD screen appears kinda blue whereas in the LED light screen, the LCD screen appears pure white. So I am guessing that for some reason the light of the lamps appear to have different temperatures. Or perhaps I am totally wrong and miss something.

@SmokinMonkeyOG 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks man! I actually noticed that too but I had all the camera settings set the same on both shots and I shot them about 10min apart. I think it had something to do with the white balance like you said but I think it’s because the camera used the light as a baseline since there was barely anything else to see.

Why are the speedo dashes different colours? Excellent review none the less.

@SmokinMonkeyOG 3 жыл бұрын

The cluster only displays in black and white so not sure where you see these colours but if you’re talking about the thicker notches for 0 rpm 5000rmp and 10,000rmp. They’re just so you can easily glance down and see where your rpms are without having to stare at the clutter too long. 0 or obviously 0, 5000rpm is the limit you should stay in for break in period and for casual riding you can use the 5000 mark as a good shift point. As for the 10,000 it’s your redline and basically the top end of the power band. You won’t be able to much past 10,000 because of the limiter. You’ll bounce off the limiter if you stretch gears to the end of the rpm range. Trust me I’ve done it. It’s cuts power for a split second and you bounce the rpms off 9800-10000 so the bike doesn’t destroy its engine
