It helps ALOT to re-wire the the VRR output directly to the battery adding about .5 volts at the terminals. Japanese bikes are notorious for skimpy wiring (the headlight connections on the DRZ are 20g !
I run an HID on my DRZ that allows others to see me in daylight reduces anxiety considerably at night - you can actually SEE ! But it did require a relay and heavier wiring that using the skimpy OEM harness.

I did that mod. Not off Sinsero though.
He just supplies a 10a battery off a fireblade. It actually fits in the stock battery tray if you cut the back out of it and replace it with a velcro strap or something similar. Pictures on my website.
