Hey Guys!

Just read through this whole thread. Must say I'm very impressed with Rahul's ideas. Great job buddy .

Now, I've recently been moved into the night shift at my place of work. That means either taking a company cab, or taking the bike. I have a 2.5 year old P150 UG3 which is in quite decent condition . It has been slightly modified with the stator plates from the Avenger and a 55/60W headlamp. Illumination is pretty decent but yeh dil maange more . I am considering taking the bike to work at night. So I want to spruce up the lighting

So, I was thinking of getting the DC setup done and then perhaps plonking in the OSRAM Nightbreaker or an HID setup if budget permits :P. Trouble is I'm totally useless with circuits and electrical components.

I tried to understand what has been done, but the technical terms kinda flew all over my head. I didn't understand what the relay switch was and how it can be made.

Can someone please elucidate on it?

I need a simplified wiring diagram if possible :P

I'm sorry for being such a moron

Hope you guys can help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure we can use two rectifier to charge the battery. At any time no two rectifier work with identical voltage. Higher charging voltage will lead to battery explosion. The exact charging voltage is 14.4V. Is that possible to eliminate the original rectifier replaced with high power single rectifier.

quality of wiring will decide wether you need to change your wiring od not. if you are going to run a 65 bulb than i guess you will need to change coil as well as wiringl but in xase of hid, the custom rectifier will be good enough no need for any wiring change.

can we just put a higher rating battery in the bike or we need to change wires and the coil etc

all electrical gurus busy kya

5 amps for a 35 w bulb
rx has 2.5 ah battery only.... i dont mind buying a new battery
my light is already very dim...... i really need a 55/60W setup i guess
and also a steady illumination... not a fluctuating one ...
but that is far i guess

thanks

thanks
but i dont know how to do it

yea ur rite about the battery
but what would happen in case its converted to dc
please elaborate

thanks

If i am right, RX had a tiny 2.5aH battery and making DC setup on that will toss the battery.
===============================

Well coming to my updates

Couple of days back when i pressed the self a weird smoke came but from where!!! That i was able to rectify very late... Bcz of this smoke i was scared and removed my custom rectifier

Later thou my battery was fully charged self stopped working completely, only then i came to know that wire connected to self (on top of starter motor) was lose and from there the smoke was coming.

Now i am running on stock setup as i don't ve time to clean my bike properly But my battery is doing fine without any hiss even with lights on for longer duration.

And if you can run other lights on LEDs like I did, you can even run 60/55 without any problems.

Yes any bike, which has a battery can be converted to full DC. But I would say DC lighting is only beneficial on a HID setup. All in all, at least a 5amp battery is required for a 35W bulb to be on DC.

friends sorry for hijacking or disturbing this thread

i had a question!!!
can any bike be converted into DC like this in a cheap manner like you guys did ?
can a two stroke rx 135 4speed be also converted to DC?

from the experience so far.... you think it is worth it or it is better to go for a upgrade like 55/60 W setup?

Yes it surely can be done. There are just 4 major components. That is Body Control Unit, The Stator Coil, RR Unit and the Wiring.

Only problem is the cost, which come to around 4000 Bucks, compared to hour custom made solutions which won't even pinch 100 bucks in most cases!

regarding the DC setup..

Since the new Pulsar 180 (also old/new 220) has the full DC system, can't we find out what changes or components Bajaj has used and then put the same on to our bikes?
I have a P200 and I have held off on the DC as the bike does not have a kick and so I could be stuck if some electrical problem occurs.

Anyone knows the new Pulsars' electricals?

Hmm.. if you connect it to the input correctly, maybe it will work. But the rectifier can get overloaded!

You have Uni electrical circuit diagram? Or can draw the exact no. of wires from coil to rectifer?

Alright will upload the wiring diagram, its 2 line input out of which 1 is grounded. Like this

Even when it's connected, I doubt whether the stock rectifier can take that extra load. Even with the Avenger Coil, the RR Unit heats up.

The line from the coil to RR unit is a single wire? In case of pulsar there are 4 wires. So which wire will you connect it to? Do you have Uni electrical circuit diagram? If so, please upload it here. I may be able to suggest you better.
