HID Lighting on my 2004 KX250
January 21st, 2009 by Trent (Technical Sales)Well my buddy finally convinced me to throw a light on my dirt bike to ride with him at night. At first I was a little bit skeptical because I have never rode at night before, except for riding double on quads out at Ocotillo Wells and Borrego which is not a good idea by the way. At least for me it isn’t, I always seem to run myself over, so I try and stay away from quads. Anyways I put a HID headlight (http://www.electrosport.com/products/product-detail-501.php), a ESL960 60w lighting stator (http://www.electrosport.com/products/product-detail-543.php) , LED taillight (http://www.electrosport.com/products/product-detail-1720.php) and a ESR600 (http://www.electrosport.com/products/product-detail-622.php) Regulator/Rectifier on my personal 04 Kawasaki KX250. I must admit I did cheat alittle bit because the ESL960 stator is not the stator that we have listed for the KX250. The ESL960 is for the CRF250R/450R, however I was not satisfied with running just a 35w halogen bulb because you might as well just ride with a candle. So I figured out a way to run the L960 on my bike. This sooner or later will be the new stator for the KX, but I am currently doing some testing on it to make sure it works flawlessly. So pretty much I am the test dummie for this new part. I must say with this HID light I absolutely love riding at night, it adds a whole new level of sketchiness to riding.
Even Next to Steven’s (Tech Support) RM in broad daylight you can see the HID in my KX is ridiculously brighter.

Do you know if there is a stator that will fit a kx 250 08? so I can fit a full lighting set on it

Where are you located? The reason that I ask is because the last year KX250 Kawasaki made at least in the U.S. is 07. We do have a lighting stator for the 05-07 KX250 and the part number is ESL989. Do you know if the 2008 Kawasaki you have uses the same stator as the 07?
