    @Vikram refer to the above discussions and follow the links provided. You'll know what to do if you have ever cut and joined wires.


    @Rahul
    Man I am finally done with exams and shit. Now will start on the project.
    Today morning I checked out the wirings under the seat.I saw the cable coming from the stator plate.
    Man it has 8 wires.
    Which ones do i have to run through the rectifier?
    I will start with building the rectifiers.
    Do I have to use generalised Circuit board or get a copper or glass epoxy ckt board and etch the circuit using FeCl??
    First start building the rectifier. Use a general circuit board. It can be done much easily and quickly this way. If you want to etch a circuit, it will drive up the cost of the project with no apparent added benefits.

      Follow the cable from the coil to the male/female socket. See for the Yellow coloured with Red line wire, only one single wire. This has to be CUT! Now when have splitted them, the one coming from the coil will go to your custom rectifier and the one towards the BCU will go to battery via switch!

      Actually you need not use a PCB. It's just a rectifier, you can make it without any boards!

        2 questions sir ji...

        1. how much does that stock coil of the RX-135 generate ?
        2. can a 5 ah battery fit in the battery compartment of a rx-135?

        thanks and regards.
        There once was a woman who was quite begat.
        She had three babies named Nat, Pat, and Tat.
        She said it was fun in the breeding,
        But found it was hell in the feeding
        When she saw there was no tit for Tat.

            i looked there first. i don't think this particular spec is mentioned. thats why i asked. anyways, will look again.

              Maybe it is not there. Some manufacturers do not put it there. Indian bikes generally have around 100W output.

                I have no idea about RX. What's the rating of your headlight bulb?

                  ^^ it would be 35/35. But as it has a smaller battery, so battery charging current needed would be lesser too. So, the coil output would definitely be lesser than the 100W found in bikes with 7/9AH battery.

                    Dude have you upgraded the coil to avenger 180's coil?
                    Also, since you have HID kit, you'll need to convert the headlamp circuit to DC and run it off the battery.
                    AFAIK you have converted to a battery run headlamp.
                    Now all you need to do is use the AC line from the coil which used to run the headlight in stock setup to charge the battery. This way you'll have two charging mechanisms for the battery running parallel so that the rate of charging the battery will increase to support the HID kit.

                    BTW is your HID kit 65watt?
                    Have you got projector for it too?
                    How much did it cost?
                    wtf was tat ?? sorry man not into electricals at all! no clue about wat u r talking...
                    its 35watts, cost me 4k

                    Well i have never cut and joind wires. have had many electrocuting experiences
                    anything with the engines nt the wires....
                    so kindly tell me a mech who can act on ur suggestion...and kindly elaborate
                    if possible.

                      Ya, but again if the headlight makes 35W, we don't much either, if i'm not wrong apart from Horn, brake light and turn signal, there's no other load on the battery especially self starting.

                      So, with that I can say - A RX135, can have a HID provided it has a 5Ah. Battery.

                          phillips halogen 35/35W.

                          interesting thing i noticed. i opened up my headlamp. cleaned the whole thing, glass, reflector and bulb with colin and a soft cloth and fit everything back. it was really really dirty.

                          now after fitting it back, the neutral light, the high beam light and the indicator arrow light on the instrument console has stopped working. (prolly wires have gotten loose/discon) but the amount of light from the headlamp has increased drastically. in the sense, not still how much i want it, but a huge increase over the pathetic intensity earlier. in comparison of what it was earlier, the increase is shocking really.

                          what i don't understand is, the flashers work off the battery, and the headlamp works off the coil. but when i turn the flasher on, the headlamp intensity drops and surges in tune to the indicators flashing. how come ?? shouldn't the headlamp intensity only be varying with the rpm ???

                            That could happen - Either the battery is totally dead, and the flasher is straining the coil, or the flasher's are shorting!

                              its a brand new battery. just about a week old.
                              can you elaborate on what you mean by "flashers are shorting" ??

                                Maybe your charging circuit is shot and battery does not get charged.

                                Flashers may create a short circuit when they operate. This maybe because they are defective. But if this dimming does occur even if you put another load like pressing the brake and switching ON the brake light, then flasher is not faulty.
