Question on RX100/135 electricals/wiring - Page 2 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

kjayakannan · 03-09-2010, 10:43 AM

For Electrical 6v -12v conversion what I did was

1. Coil rewinded and taken one more wiring from source coil.
2. Changed to AMCO 12v battery
3. Wiring kit is same as prev 6v
4. RR - KB100
5. Changed the bulb to 55/60 w

Initially Tail lamp main AC bulb gone. After 3 months yesterday battery was down and headlight high beam gone and low beam blinking.

What could be the problem?

Plan to install the RX135 12v system. Let me your feedback once you done successfully.

replace the wiring kit,RR,rotor&stator assembly with one from RX135/RXZ. that would be the perfect work to do.

OR

replace the wiring kit with one from RX135/RXZ. get a RDD 90/110 kit (RR,rotor&stator assembly included) A that would be even more perfect work...!!!.

I love to go in for the latter part

; but if I don't get that I'll stick to OE. BTW - what's RR, Rotor & Stator? Tks.

You can always experiment with the bulb and LED setup, it wont cost more than 20-30 bucks, but ive seen a LED install in a RX100 meter for back light, and the meter looks good.

JD, its like one morning I wake up & suddenly the bulb glows - yes I got what you meant by the above (didn't have to google). Its actually simple & straight forward, except for one fact that if the LED fuses, I've to unsolder & replace the LED from the holder in the wiring harness. Right?

I'll go in for 12V LED than adding a resistor to step down the voltage

Sorry Jayakannan, I decided against rewinding; thanks for the tip though.

Correct me if I understood you right? You've a 6V wiring kit with 12V rectifier & Magneto; I wouldn't recommend this as personally I know the holders from the magneto will not match the wiring harness due to which there is numerous cut & join wiring that I personally don't like & that's precisely the reason I keep waiting & when waiting I'm learning

Man, yours is a bone stock beautiful bike, give it to an ASS & they'll get it done at no time; Trust me you'll love 12V.

Coil rewinded already...

Yes..i guess thats reason there are some loose gaps in the wiring and my battery was down last week, not charging properly and horn was not working. Headlight bulb has gone fuse.Last night, Myself opened the headlight and changed the bulb with one I have already.
For the past five days battery will getting charged slightly.If I use indiactor one min the indicator will glow then battery go down. I thought RR is not working and thus battery was not charged. Excess current flow to Headlight and gone. so plan to change the entire Wiring system to RX135 12v system until yesterday.
Fortunatley I found that today my battery got charged normal and ROOTS horn working surprisingly.Reason I guess loose gaps..
So is it sufficient to change the WIRING Harness 12v Minda?

You mean to say that they wont touch the coil. Only RR and wiring harness need to be changed to 12v?
If so, let me know YASS which will do this job best and how much it will come?

LEDs have a much lower failure rate than bulbs.. and if the bulbs in my 7 year bullet meters are running strong.. what more can be an example for LEDs... just a suggestion though.. you can go with bulbs as well!!!

kjayakannan · 03-10-2010, 05:24 PM

Is that TRUE that RX100 which came after Mar -1990 having 12v electrical system. I want to know this since How can I check the my magnetto assy has 12v coil.

Please suggest me...

Use a multimeter or approach an auto/non auto electrical shop & he confirms it for you

Well, I took it as a command

; no looking back to bulbs, I'm for the LED
