  • Help on Rectifier for CBZ Classic

    Hmm so here is a thought in my mind about making DC for my bike..

    I have a Classic CBZ whichs light can be referred to as candle light due to its no clear type reflectors which used to come in early 2000's

    Now since changing & doing anything for the stock headlight will not do any help I changed my doom to round doom of Fiero FX & put new bulbs Osram 35w Halogen & the focus & spread now is beautiful & more than ten times better to what I had in stock.

    Enough is never Enough , now I want to know if I can make it DC with stock battery which is 2.5A, I know its small a battery to plan DC but wanted to know since I want to do DC for stock wattage bulb i.e 35w can the DC be stil fine if I use any other rectifier whcih is used for bigger size battery say 7 or 9ah so that charging rate is increased ??

    Some one said pulsars recitifier is a direct fit ?? can

    somebody who has tried or know this can confirm if I can use pulsar 150 or 180ug4s rectifier ?

    Further more after if this thing works fine.. Wana try 55/60w just to check how much it can withstand..

    So please electrical gurus help me ??

      I can see from your post that you want 60/55W. If possible rewind your coil and go for a Pulsar/Avenger RR Unit. Only if you want HID, should you think of going for a DC setup. In that case, its better to rewind your coil and go for P180UGIV/Zma/P220 RR Unit.

        Thanks for dat Info bro.. well I want to workout something cheaply , dats Y i am thinking how to use max power from my battery & use the 35w as DC.

        Can you confirm if the pulsar 180UG4 Rectifier unit is a direct fit on to CBZ's if yes then I am gona change that one & go ahead with DC conversion.

        My point is that I want to check if Pulsars Rectifier Unit for 2.5A battery can help run 35w DC on my bike..

        Here total cost involved is around 800 ( 400 for DC + around 400 for rectifier)

          If you want DC, as I said, go for rewinding. If you dont want to do that, you will need a custom made rectifier. And if you want to, upgrade the stock RR unit to one from Pulsar/Avenger, but not P180UGIV. For using with P180UGIV RR unit, you will need coil rewinding. An all DC bike has different stator coil compared to an AC/DC combined bike.

            Do you think RR Unit will differ much so that we can't install UG4's RR Unit?? I was telling Abhilash the same thing yesterday. Btw do you have any idea about CBZ Star's RR Unit ?? As that bike came with Self Start and a bigger battery.

              A AC/DC combined bike's RR unit has 2 parts - one part accepts input from the battery coil and provides regulated DC to battery. Other part accepts input from lighting coil and provides regulated AC to headlight.

              But in case of an all DC bike, there is a single coil which is regulated by the RR unit and provides regulated DC to battery. Note that the AC part is missing here.

              If you connect this RR unit to a AC/DC combined bike, how will you connect both the coils?

              And, this info is for DC electrical equipped bikes internationally. It should be the same here, but a P180UGIV electrical diagram would confirm the same.

                Bro, my request. Can u plz get hold of ZMA wiring diagram and confirm on what u said. Bcz ZMA gets power in 3 wires to its RR Unit whereas Unicorn gets power from only 1 wire.

                Atleast try to get wiring diagram of Pulsar UG4 which might be useful..

                  I don't have the diagrams yaar! That is what I have been saying, anyone with the wiring diagrams, please post the pics! I have the diagrams for Pulsar180UGII/UGIII only.

                    ZMA magneto is a 3 phase generator whereas Unicorn, Bajaj etc are single phase ones. 3 phase can add more power than the single phase ones nowonder ZMA, Bullet uses 3 phase alternator and hopefully P220 too as these bikes are fully DC. Abhi you know how to explain better than me.

                      ^^ Do you have the Zma wiring diagram? I would like to have a look myself!

                        No I dont. I just cross checked with one of my friends, I've done enough research to find a good RR for me.

                          AFAIK even the Bajaj's (atleast the avvy) has 3 phase.
                          Till date i ve saw single phase only on Unicorn..!!
                          No idea about Xtreme... But yeah you are right that ZMA has 3 phase...

                          So currently which RR unit are u using and on which bike??? (If u ve changed else ignore question )

                            Am still on the stock RR as I havent re routed the magneto wiring for the battery charging. Needs some time to fix. In the mean time will commute on HID till the battery drains fully later on an auxilary h3 spot from the stock light wire. Sadly I could;ve gone for a xenon+halo combi, to avoid the spot.

                            Avenger coil is as same as the P150-200 which is a single phase one and thatz why people have upgraded to avy coil. Else they would;ve to replace the stock RR also. But its a direct snap fit DIY job. Pulsar have 4 light coils and 3 for the battery charging, so while seeing the 3lines u can get confused. 2 blue wires from coil are dedicated to battery charging and the yellow-red line wire is for light coil and red wire is for CDI and obviously black is earth. Am right Abhi?

                            I dont know about Uni coils, am still a beginer in this. But to my knowledge, only DC bikes may require the 3 phase coil as its demanding more power to compasate the battery drain. But there's an exception for 3 wheelers like Ape and Minidoor which uses 50A batteries and full DC but feds from a single phase alternator but you cant compare with a bikes magneto.

                              Are you planning for any Ph.D on this

                              Thanks for that info. If possible go thru the Unicorn wiring also and help me solve the battery charging issue on DC Headlight.
