    and yeah, big time hiccups too...
    Planning on replacing TCI unit and seeing if it fixes everything... hmm

    But after some tweaking its gone for good... try finding a good mech.

      Do you have any specifics, like what or where the 'tweaking' was done?

        the mech who did the job has done the same for a no. of xbhpians in mumbai. he replaced the connectors and wires he used to connect the rr to the system. funny thing is even when he did that the engine kill wouldn't work in hi beam. i decided to let it be for a while and come back later. and suddenly from the next day onwards the problem wasn't there and hasn't reappeared after a week.
        But my problem was only with the engine kill unlike yours.

            i would have rewinded coil but i couldnt find someone who does it .

            Sorry for the delay in replying, what I meant is, u need to isolate one of the light coil ends which is grounded to the body of the stator and take it to the APE RR, if effect both the coil ends will be floated to the RR, its grounded by stock. If you need to get the full wave output from the RR, u need to do this.

              thanks but now ive decided to rewind coil myself , doesnt look too hard . btw i wire i got looks a little darker in color than the one i have originally on my coil . is it ok ? ive attached a pic

                is our full warranty will go with this mod?
                or only electrical warranty ? please kindly explain. mine is only 2 months old.
                @Janie please post photo of winding like a series. so that others can also follow. I dont know how to wind. is there any mathametical like xcm of coil in one clip? any think like that please any one please explain it too.

                  Doesn't matter, the colour may vary with manufacturers as the insulation material differs. BTW, what gauge is that? 19?

                  Wind as much as turns possible for each pole in a tight, neat manner will ensure the optimum output. Complete with a single length element for all poles, do not ground like in stock, take the both ends to RR. Don't forget to change the winding pattern CW & ACW on every next pole. If you can achieve 70-80 turns will be better, in Pulsar stock lighting coil turns are 90 don't know about RTR but being a newbie its hard to get that number I guess. I could managed to get only 55 when I tried with a 17G which is lying idle bcz of this.

                    yes its 19 gauge . btw the rtr abs has a huge number of poles in it . is there anyone here who has done this on his rt 160 than 180 .

                      How many is 'huge'? Does it have single coil or two coils?

                        while winding my coil i accidently scratched the winded wire on my coil's pole a bit and i guess these have some sort of coating on them and now the tiny place has its coppery core little exposed . will this be a problem ?? should i restart with fresh wire ?? would like a quick reply as ive paused the winding process .pic attached .

                        i meant it has quite a lot of number of poles on its coil . around 12-14 i guess . forgot to take pics .

                          If you happen to see it again, please check the no of poles and the no of coils.. it maybe possible to use it instead of rewinding etc if it has enough potential... i think...

                            scratching the wires is not advisable, u need to do it carefully, make sure that it does not have contact with the stator body with a multimeter. If its showing continuity with the body and the coil, u need to do it again. If the turns are touching each other within the pole or to the other pole means u are eliminating that pole/turns from the coil. This part is tricky and can't make sure unless u've to be careful in winding without touching or scraping anywhere. Just exposing it will not be a problem as the winding varnish will take care of it. Have u applied the varnish?

                              plz see the pic , the only thing that the tiny 1 mm scratch will touch is other wire surrounding it . should i apply varnish on it to correct it ? see the small scrathc on last turn on pole

                                Hey jeanie,
                                Your leaving too much of space between consequential turns, they should be tightly held together, because if the layer below is not tightly held, the layer above will turn even worse.

                                something like this...



                                Besides, you need to make sure that you avoid any scratches on the wire, have to leave it and start over.

                                take your time, if possible do only 1 pole in 1 day as its a tiring job.

                                Try to wind 1 pole in this manner, and compare it to one of the poles of the coil winded by doc in the pic below, if it doesn't look like that, remove the winding and start over again.

                                Remember, try to do it as neatly as possible, you need to hold it very tight and slide it across to make it a snug fit of as many turns as possible across the length.

                                Giving a lot to a fiero.
                                Expecting a lot from a fiero.
