Upgrading Suzuki DRZ400 with NOCO NLP Lithium Stock or Oversized Battery

The stock battery in a DRZ400 is the Yuasa YTZ7S which can be replaced with a NOCO NLP5. You will need to ensure that you have a battery tender that can put out 14.6 Volts and respect the max charging current for your new battery!
In my case I have a much bigger battery because I removed the decompression system from my camshafts. The biggest battery you can put in is a YTZ10S and it will take a bigger max charge rate than the NLP5. This bike has a Sisneros battery bracket but I'm sure you could make something on your own.

A very good video, I just got my NLP14 this week and will be cutting out the back of the battery box next. An FYI for your watchers, order the battery Noco factory direct. It is the best way to get the 5 year warranty honored should you need to. With their promo code it was also cheaper than most anywhere else.

Thanks for the video. I just used a pronghorn to hold my battery in the modified box. Plenty strong!

I love your pannier and top rack - do you mind sharing a link where you got it from?

[@user-gk7gs6cf1e]

did you have to just crush the crimped eyelet coming from the wire harness?

[@colinhoward5696]

Is the 4ah on the lithium not the equivalent to 13ah on a lead acid battery. Sure that’s what noco say.

[@SteveRivett]

That's a good point. You can take more ah from a lithium than a conventional battery that is rated to 50% capacity.

Came to see if the battery was any good, left with even more joy from having fuel injection invented.
