I have noticed guys trying to use 4 wheeler head lights for 2 wheelers. On dipped beam the 4 wheeler headlight beam dips to the left, illuminating the kerb, on 2 wheeler the low beam dips down. So is it advisable to use the 4 wheeler head lights on 2-wheelers? ( unless the 4 wheeler head light selected does not dip to the left). Appreciate any feed back from gurus as a matter of interest.

Hazard warning.
This amounts to Hazard warning. Not to be used under normal circumstances. Very Bad idea.Originally posted by Shreeni0403 View Post

Shreeni this way may I face any electrical/wiring problems due to this type of wiring? Few ppl are saying to add Diodes in the Hazard Switch wiring. I’ve no knowledge about the electrical/wirings.Originally posted by Shreeni0403 View PostAdd an extra switch connect both indicators by that switch. Now turn on indicator and that switch. All 4 indicators will glow
As you’ve said : I’ve to connect the two positive (+) wire of the turn signal with a switch.

The diagram what you have put is perfect. You just have to turn on hazard switch as well as indicator switch to turn on all 4.Originally posted by soumen.sam View PostShreeni
I donno why diodes are needed for this. If you add diode it will make the power flow 1 way so the reason for this switch will fail !! (afaik)

Yes I too have confusion about that. But I’m just concerned about any wiring damage, any additional fuse is requiring for that or not, will it create any short circuit etc. There may have two different flashers for left pair and for right pair lights, and that may cause something etc. However I’ve a security alarm system installed and it also light up the two turn signal at a time. From the main brain of that system two wires goes to the both positive wire of the turn signal and that light up the light simultaneously. I’ve installed it and there too have diodes inside the main brain for the turn signals wire. Thanks any way..Originally posted by Shreeni0403 View PostThe diagram what you have put is perfect.

I’ve one more issue regarding the alarm system immobilizer. The immobilizing features are not working otherwise all features are working fine. The man who installed it he didn’t wired a Pink wire. And I clearly told him to wire it perfectly, as many ppl damaged their CDi due to that. There have one gray wire and a pink wire for the immobilizer, and some where it requires disconnecting and attaching those wires. The gray wire is connected with the Spark plug coil Green wire directly, suppose to be the positive. The manual says a wire which is coming from CDI to the coil and which is bringing low voltage during turning off the engine that wire is for attaching the immobilizing wires. Pink to the CDI/key side and Gray to the coil side. Do you have any idea?Last edited by soumen.sam; 02-04-2010, 07:21 PM.Speed is a joy but roads are not race track.

Thanks dude..Originally posted by Shreeni0403 View PostNever explored the security system wiring, even I have it in my bike but I didn't find it useful anyway so have disconnected the system. Sorry..

Some people are like that, they enjoy whenever they break some barrierOriginally posted by sajjt View PostDude, do u know the meaning of this indicator mod
? Its hazzard indicator which is meant for vehicles parked on roadsides on repair or u got something to tow or like that. Its very strict that not to use these lights on anyother case, but there r people using it for crossing signals to notice others they r going striaght
Being a responsible XBHP member rider, we should not act like morons.
Its not meant for road show or anyother visibile DRLs (Day running lights)
Man, being a senior member in this community, u should not promote these type of mods
. I feel mad when people using this lights deliberately

wooooooooooow.
this thread is to discuss about lighting probs ,please no war guys.we all are in the same part of the world here and passion also.
my update:-last week i did a 1700kms trip on my modded pulsy and it performed flawlessly.
only draw back when i was using the bike in puri,orissa ,its very congested.it was very congested town,in night time i used my selfstart more then 15- 20 times within a period of half hour in 10 kms of total road.it was night so i was using the headlamps as well.at last the bike refused to start by self.i had to kick it but after 5 min of steady ride the self again worked.!!!!!!too much load?or too much i am askin?
any way road back from puri to burdwan with headlamp on all the way to confirm its highway capibility it didnt dissapoint,not even once.
here is the route map,logs r coming soon....

Just for 8-10 times battery shouldn't go down but probably due to age of battery or headlight
Here ?? Where ?? Where is the route map logs that are coming sooooooon

Even with a batt charger on boost mod, a 9AH batt takes a min of 2-3 hr to its top level but usually no one does it bcz its shortening the life span, do we have a smart charger in bikes to push a whopping 20A+ to a puny 9AH to get fully charged?

A 9AH batt will take 1hr @9A charging, so withing 20 mins full charge it requires a min of 20A to achive this, an addnl transformer may help, but where will u accomodate this
And if u r lucky u can change the batt every week at this rate
Normal stock charging rates are around 2-3.5A max in pulsar IMO.

At least on my bike with Amby h/l, beam is at the center. It is the low beam cut off that is a bit more conservative (that is lower) on the right side and that is the way it should be to prevent glares. High beam is perfectly straight ahead, no probs there.Originally posted by sudharma View PostThis amounts to Hazard warning. Not to be used under normal circumstances. Very Bad idea.

Yup, agreed. Atleast 2 hours of high speed run might charge the battery to some better extent but within 20mins that too just keeping bike on..Originally posted by sajjt View PostEven with a batt charger on boost mod, a 9AH batt takes a min of 2-3 hr to its top level but usually no one does it bcz its shortening the life span, do we have a smart charger in bikes to push a whopping 20A+ to a puny 9AH to get fully charged?

I guess he is stating it when battery is marginally used. Bcz he is using healthy battery. I also agree that Self Start takes a lot of current but not just a mere 8-10 cranks !!

I was refering with a flat batt, in my case, ok leave it. Yeah , a healthy batt wont get discharged fully for not using for even a month too. There are many to vouch for this, even I tried once after a rest of one month idle in garage, with a single crank my bike started, but my state climate is very friendly compared to other north states where temp can play good role in batt perfo.Do it Yourself, what so ever, if Possible
