Put a small hole to the can Pipe - you can also get the Grunt...
Else use K&N to get better Grunt....

.
no no...im not talking about the stock sound in RTR and FZ...i mean the exhaust beat is faster(lesser bass but louder and faster beats)..there is some modification done in the stock exhaust..but the exhaust looks normal from outside..



.
oh...ok..putting a hole can be easy ...whats the size of the hole??close to the exhaust hole??how close?..i really want to get that sound ....and im not interested in K&N..

Pls help

yesterday i bought blue led bulb as parkin lights for my apache. but today only one s workin. I read in some thread that led s cannot be connceted directly as they require dc current where as in apache/old pulsar its ac. is it because of this or problem is with led that it stopped working?

n y wud u wanna do that?

pls help


hey guys i own a pulsar 180ug3.. and am planning to get a paint job done on it.. so could aneone tell me nice place in delhi or in ncr from where i can get it done...

dude! bikes DO NOT have an Alternating current(AC) AC current is a fluctuating current which cannot be employed in vehicles( unless you have a power grid being pulled by your bike)it is always Direct Current(DC) of 12 volts ~7 amps which is achieved from a battery!!

My advice!

1 Go to a electronic shop ( TV, VCR repair shop) and check the voltage of the bulb, if the bulb hold more then 12 volts, you will indeed need a resistor,
now to know the correct amount of resistance needed by your bulb use the simple formula :

Resistance = voltage/current

I hope this helps!!

where V = voltage ( it is always 12V as motorcycle use a 12V battery)
and I = current (which can be around 5Amps, I may be wrong, as I got 9Amps on my FZ)

I do not have knowledge about RTR's as I am not into TVS, but just check the bulb for the sake of it, it anyways helps you know the power available in your battery.
Lastly, Light Emitting Diode(LED) according to my knowledge come upto 12 volts but are rare to find, and looking at your bulb cross section, I am assuming that it is a 12V LED, but if you connect that in series it will consume a power of 24 volts, for 2 LED's which your bike battery is not capable of, try connecting it in a parallel circuit!



Roadfreak!!

Where did you get that now?!

@ torino!

To achieve that kind of short beat in your bike, the best option will be to take off your exhaust and cut it at its joints and remove the baffle plates that are mounted inside, once the plates are removed, tack weld your exhaust back into position and fill it up with cotton waste so no exhaust gases pass out, and try accelerating your bike, if you think you have achieved that "Roar" remove the cotton waste and weld it back and you are done!
(I say this because My pal and me have done this experiment on his LML Freedom and another pals bullet and had got satisfying results)

I hope this gives you some ideas on your roaring project!!

well I read somewhere that generally alternator is used for generating AC in vehicles from engine speed..

I suppose you are correct, Apaches use a alternator!
My bad! I had no idea, they still did that!
but, how bout Dc connecting the pilot LED's instead of going through the whole Circuit Diagram of the bike and lastly get dim lights?


Roadfreak!

u can convert AC to DC using 4 diode rectifier n its very simple...even after that if u r getting dim lights use step-up transformer...refer to local electrician wala

he he

Nopes, all the vehicles have an alternator which generates AC, which in turn gets converted to DC using a rectifier circuit. (Mostly located close to the Battery). This rectifier feeds the battery and the other components eventually.

You dont need to have a power grid .. trust me

Dude, then what do u think the alternator coils does in a bike? How does ur bikes batt gets charged?

I understood what you are trying to say!!
AC current is also reffered as natural form of current because almost all of the sources produce AC current naturally. So, current generated in bike by an alternator is also AC, it is after the generation of current it is converted into DC for charging battery.
LED's are diodes, so they only allow flow of current in one direction(forward or reverse biased), so as soon as negative pulse of AC is supplied to diode it becomes reverse biased and thus stops flow of current and due to high frequency of AC current the blinking LED appears as giving low or high level of brightness. and eventually when the LED gets too much reverse voltage it gets kaput

not generally!!!
Alternator only generates AC current and therefore it is named as "ALTERNATOR".
