        any mod is having its own risk if not done properly.

          spare watts in motorcycle to run 45 to 50 watt add-on

          Hope drvmtm or abhijeet can answer my query.

          I want to know the output wattage from the regulator for motorcycle models sold in India. Can you provide me these details. The reason is I want to run an add-on DC device that will draw around 3 to 3.5 amps i.e around 45 to 50 watts continuously from the motorcycle battery. Do you think indian motorcycles have spare wattage of 45 to 50 watts when running on full load without posing a battery discharge problem.

          Also where should I connect the add-on DC device, to the battery or to the regulator output side. Can the battery discharge problem be avioded by connecting the add-on DC device to regulator output side instead of the battery.

            Nice post.. Wish I had seen this a month back.. I was struggling with the battery drain issue in my apache classic after HID was installed. Thread. No solution found for many days.. Had got the relays/ cutouts/ switches connected, tried different mechanics, but of no avail. If I ride for 30 min in the daytime, the HID will work for 20 min during night before going off. Strange problem, somehow I managed these days without any long trip. Now I decided to buy another HID and replace them with the fog lamps in my car. BTW how much does the Ape RR cost?

                  What if i short the both the +ves (lighting and charging) coming out of stock RR unit and give them to +ve of battery and lamp?

                    U can enjoy the smoking smell of the wiring harness and will set u back by another couple of thousands to get a new one.

                    Dude, lighting is AC and batt charging line is DC which is meant for charging.

                      What about putting in one more RR of RTR on that lighting coil output?

                      Just like existing RR is on charginf coil.

                        All AC+DC setup will have the light coil grounded to the stator body so that you wont get the full wave bridging from that. For that u need to de ground it and route it through another capable RR. Keeping 2 rr at a time will make it complex and it can konk off other components once any of the RR fails.

                        Read the below link for the testimony:

                          My ultimate aim is not to go for rewinding, as it will not be as reliable as OEM manuafactured one.

                            Once you get an experienced electrician who can do this job, its as good as OE. AFAIK, OE coils are winded manually, just have a close look at the Bajaj stator coils. I think its the only company have this pattern, rest of almost all having machine winded.

                              why you are not thinking in a way that if you keep the oem coil and do tinkering with other parts that will also may not be as reliable as oem s????

                              sajjit is correct more or less now days all manufacturer use machine s to rewind a coil nowdays but an experianced rewinder will rewind in a way that no machine can,the biggest example is my coil,its 17 awg 12.8 foot per pole where a machine also struggles to get passed beyond 12 feet per pole that also with a thinner wire like 19 awg!!!!result?well the coil i am using is pumping out 12 amps from 3.5 k rpm,and i think thats pretty decent and oh yes its much of a lot safer then oem,using it for close to year now.
                              remember its hardly the coil goes kaput,mainly its the rr that konks off,and oh ya the ape one is a tough one.
