All, I humbly request you all to avoid personal comments. Please delete those posts. I do not think you all would like to be in that position.

Request to all. Please close the issue. Lets give others a good output from this thread.

Can any body explain me the steps to correct the time on the LCD. I havn't got any papers / documents yet from the dealer, waiting for all the formalities of RTO & insurance etc to get complete. Because of holiday, everything got postponed to next week. But the rule says "Don't keep your bike with the dealer for long time, once it arrives". Brought it home the day it arrived. By thursday I will get all documents. Hence the request.

Neo: pm mohsin hes got the manual, or manan or saminder. I think its the same way one does on the karizma. You can fiddle around no harm in it.

...Nightbreakers light is not as white as Coolblue..

Light colour temperature like 1500k.....10000k goes from red to yellow to white to blue as the number rises. Excuse me if you already know this, perhaps others who are not aware can benefit.

I use clear halogen approx 3000k(fog lights), osram coolblue approx 4000k(high beam) and HID 6000k(low beam) in my car. 6000k is considered white. Coolblue seems yellow in comparison.
The whiter it gets, the less effective it becomes under street light and rain. By the time it becomes blueish its performance gets worse under same condition even though the lumen or brightness intensity may be greater. However white lights performs very good in darker situation like highway or poorly lit street (without rain). I don't know the reason why. Hence I always keep my foglight in prime condition for rainy season

.

My recommendation, go for nightbreaker. They may not look cool as coolblue. But they will perform better.

to change time
you have to press both the buttons on the meter for 3 sec at a same time
after this ....the clock would be blinking .....so change the time by right button & to move on to other number display ....press left button
i hope you are getting me

**ravi@17bhp** · 02-13-2010, 03:26 PM

I prefer yellow light than white. White light is not good for winters and dusty nights.

1. Turn ON the Ignition.
2. Press and hold the RESET and SELECT key for more than 2 seconds..

Now set the time....

I chose coolblue because i liked the shade of the light more than that of Nightbreaker...
Nightbreaker's Bright mode gives more light than that of coolblue i felt..

But i had little preference for the shade of the light as well.. So Coolblue fit my choice perfectly..

I'll quote some of the MRPs.
Coolblue - Rs. 450 ( 900 per pair )
Nightbreaker - Rs.900
Visionplus - Rs. 550 i think...

Now here are a few mobile shots of the new lightbulbs..
Hope it does give you some idea about how it looks like...
The yellow alongside the whiteone looks crap...

I'll be changing that once i get philips or OSRAM parklight LEDs..

@ Kaymantis -
+100 on that...
Well said Mate.!! Ya i know about the temperature thing and the change of colour..
Now that gives everyone a perfect idea about it..

I went for coolblue because i liked its looks and i ride mainly on Highways and then little bit on pocket roads..
So far, i had no troubles with it...
And as i said before, Nightbreaker has got more light..
Everyone who needs the best lighting ( Using Halogens ) can go for The OSRAM Nighbreakers.. Philips Xtreme Power is also as good i heard..

Thats why i quoted and posted again..
I dont know how to delete the previous post..
Sorry for posting twice..

Now this I know, EDIT the post you want to delete, you will see the button to Delete it.

Gautam combination of yellow and white at the centre also looks astonishing bro ... keep it for some time and get the feedback of this combination too, before you switch to entire white.

Agreed

. Maybe you can try LED if you can get them. They are easy on the battery as well.

n ya.. Everyone has the right to raise their opinion..!!

Well i never said i hate them. Its just that i dont like them. Everytime i see a post stating zma is reliable & all my mind reminds me of my experiences with it. It wasnt the correct bike for me.

Heyy.. Thanx 4 helpin me with the deletion.!!

Ohh.. You felt its lookin gr8..?? Wow..!! Nice to hear that..
Then i'll try to get a few feedbacks frm the Xbhpians n ma friends and decide on changing it or keep it..!!

In any case i'll be changing it only after 2 weeks when my bike gets in for its second service.. I Dont want the local mechanics to tamper with the fairing when they remove it for changing the lights..!!

They had this LEDs.. Red, Orange, Blue and White.. 30Rs per pair.. I felt the light was a bit too bleak.. So didnt change to that.. But i never thought about this point that it would be easy on the batteries.!! Hmmm... That gave me some food for thought..!!
