Now, since there is confusion on R15 Amp being lower than Fazer, I need to check on how to go for HID. But, at least, thanks for the good news that I can fit the HID on Fazer to begin with. I do visit Probiker and he did mention that he could fix it however I want to be absolutely sure to avoid any issues in future.

Thanks anyways
Hey how much did you get the r15 battery for??
Can you please check the rating of the battery by any chance please..?

in case of yamaha r 15 its 5k and above it can pull 2 hids.

remember its not the battery its the charging that matters.......
from what i heard.. even when i went to buy my bike the dealer told me that to switch on both the light on the fazer they would install the R15 battery.. n said that it was stronger than 5ah stock battery of the fazer..
I didnt do it as i was not sure..
i heard two things.. either the R15 battery is 7.5aH or 9ah.. not less.. as it has to run.. cooling fan.. ecu.. injectors.. coolant pump.. twin highbeam lights etc..
I may be wrong too..
