An easy solution....

Get a dc battery charging kit......After every day park your bike in the garage.....take out the battery charge it via the AC supplied at homes.....put it back in next mrning......Ta Da.....Mission Accomplished.....

Everyday removing and fitting back the battery is a pain

Q: Whats is the stock Alternator wattage of Unicorn?

Motor cycle electrical is interesting stuff.

Coming from the basic formula of Watt=Amps X VoltagePower in >Power out

to retain the battery charge. That is if you provide 70 watt to charge to the battery and run a 60/55w Headlight the battery will easily drain considering you run 10W turn indicator lights and 21/10 Break / Taillights on most Indian bikes. Making that 60w+10W+10W+21W.

Stock alternator of uni produces 125 watt @5000 Rpm
yes they are intersting if you are able to understand them..

Now could some body tell me how much wattage is provided to battery for charging and how much to headlight,backlight for running bike electricals on AC system...

A solution for that as well.....

Park your bike near an AC socket.....remove the side cover.....with the battery inside charge it tht way.....Hassle Free......Simple Way.....

Can the Avenger/ZMA coils be fitted into the Unicorn? Any issues with that?

55/60 watt bulb on uni

yesterday i purchased the philips 55/60 watt bulb and fitted in my stock uni without any changes to electricals..(I just replaced it) and got the results which are:
(A)The output even got worse ....
(B)I have to rev Hard but still wasnt able to do any good...brightness wasnt near to stock bulb of uni
(C)There was time gap of 3-4 sec if you want to use the high beam after low beam or vice versa...
(D) Also switching on the light it takes 2-3 sec for glowing of bulb..
(E) since pass switch was directly attched to battery so i could test this bulb at full capacity and then the results were amazing the sepread and the brightness were outstanding (almost 60% of car lights)...so this makes my mind to have DC setup on my uni....


Now plz tell what are the changes required in wiring and the other electricals......does DC setup on uni can take load 55/60 watt bulb?...hows your battery performing any draining issues?....is there any way other than DC setup?...
In the forums somebody was posting that he made all the electicals to work on battery except headlight..so magneto is free to power only bulb and battery....would this help 55/60 watt bulb to glow at full capcity?..........
thanxs in advance

Not possible... Number of wires are 6 in ZMA whereas 4 in Uni... Some guys sell custom made rectifiers, donno where to get hold of them..

Guess i have answered you...

I can manage somehow in the city with the dim lights on the uni. But when it comes to highways, I need something brighter, much brighter.

I am thinking of sticking to 35W stock bulb on headlight, and add a 35w HID projector. I'll fit the HID on a mount when needed for a long trip.

Will the HID add extra load on the battery or is the battery capable of handling it?

on my RX original Stanley bulb gives much more light than a popular Halogen bulb of similar rating !!

Thou i have Osram Nightbreaker i wanted a HiD on Spot light which i can mount when needed.
For the same i have posted here (5th post) but haven't got reply from any one yet


No idea about the bulb your speaking
