  • Actually i want to run my H/L on DC.my bike is Pulsar 150 DTSi 2004 model(UG2 i guess).

    From what u've said in ur last post i have modified the image.


    P.S. My apologies if im getting on ur nerve.just that i want to be clear on what is to be done before i get my hands dirty!

    • Yeah you are correct this time. And since yours is a UGII, you dont need a relay or a DPDT!

      You just need to make the Rectifier. And, nowadays, you get bridge rectifier as a single unit, which you can just connect. No need to make any circuit like I had done.

      • No il rather make it myself.Long time since i made any ckt! BTW just wondering since the o/p of Custom Rectifier and the O/p of Stock rectifier is plainly shorted at the bat terminals there aint any loading effect(or any other electric anomaly) on any of the ckts??(few months back i had replace the RR unit after smoke started coming from it , the reason for which till date i have no clue about!)

        • No, it runs fine.. I used it for a month though with a 60/55W h/l. Nowadays running a 100/90 h/l with custom coil and RR unit..

The exact charging voltage is 14.4V. Is that possible to eliminate the original rectifier replaced with high power single rectifier.
                      No use. Rectifier does not produce any energy. Just converts AC voltage into DC. You have to get the alternator modified to give higher out put. This in turn is going to increase the load on your bike and the fuel concumption is going to go up.

                      BTW what is your alternator out put in terms of wattage?

                      • Just wondering...why dosnt pulsar come with DC H/L ad default? i think we can manage 50 bucks rise in OTR price

                          Not only P180UGIV, even P220, XCD and Discover 100 (!) comes with DC lighting!

                            Abhi, have you noticed the diff in brightness with a AC lighting and a DC one? AC light is more brighter than the DC. I just compared yesterday, reason is rectifier is putting more load and a power loss while conversion. DC lighting ofcourse offers a constant brightness but AC light gives you inconsistent but a better luminance in a avg rpm.

                              Maybe. I am not sure. Another thing is that DC output can be better regulated than AC. So, maybe regulation is poor for AC and allows upto 15V.

                              • Abhijeet what is the Volt reading ur getting at o/p of custom Rectifier?How bout adding a Regulator after that?
