Thank you buddy...
You r welcome!

But if they disconnect it, something called back-emf comes into play which causes arcing across the wires, similar to how the spark plug works.

The heatsink is keeping it cool!

I mean isolate that terminal from the earth or chassis... there will be always EMF(back emf is called only in motor)...

as the circuit is not closed so there is no current flow... so it wont be a matter

Current WILL try to flow through the air and close the circuit. End result - sparking will occur. This is the sole reason open circuit regulation is never used.

Edit - I think we are going OT

Yep The discussion is about converting the bike to DC headlights. I lost track of what's going on a few posts ago! No offence guys, but I think pls discuss on conversion to DC and possible hazards Pulsar UGIV range is now DC. Does this mean even GS150R can safely be converted to DC as well?

Sorry about that! I have done it on my P150. Should be possible in this case too! But, I need a electrical circuit diagram of GS150R before I can help.

hey guys, my GS is scheduled for the first service tomorrow, and I am planning on buying MotoUL 300V engine oil and getting it filled up by the service center. Any negatives on that ?

MotoUL 300V 10W40

Suzuki recommends 20W40, and even if 10W40 fits the bill perfectly, I doubt they will allow you to switch the grade while keeping the warranty.

Is this oil synthetic? if yes, don't use it so soon. If not, still stick with stock/castrol one, for keeping the warranty.

i will suggest you to stick to the stock veedol/castrol one, till your second service.. after that you put synthetic/semi-synth as per ur wish..

Default Any orange owners?

Any Orange GSR owners on this forum? Though the color looks awesome, is there a possibility that it can fade?
