Hello,
U can buy the Good HID WITH 1YEAR GUARANTE FROM A DELHI PRIVTAE LTD. COMPANY ,SOME FORUM MEMBERS ALREADY BUYED FROM THEM AND ENJOYING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THERE BIKES. THE HID IN BIKES ARE USUALLY COMING WITH SINGLE BEAM BUT THIS COMPANY IS SUPPLYING THE KITS WITH RELAY 12V FOR EXTRA PROTECTION OF WIRING + CERAMIC HOLDERS AS THE WIRING IN BIKES ARE OF VERY LOW QUALITY ITS CAN BEAR THE TEMPERATURE OF 110 DEGREE CELCIUS.

DONT BUY EXPENSIVE NON GUARANTEE CHINESE KITS FROM MARKET

THANKS

Ajay Bhai, one advt is more than enough per day we all r seeing this

At last one proffessional tip, Oops, sorry u r a proffessional guy in all. I forgot. Expect the same in forth coming posts too.

Dude, how to get rid of the grease easily? I use cotton waste then some petrol, and lastly soap but petrol will make the skin dry. Any tips? BTW, Doc, whats ur specialization?

Sorry for the late reply, was not able to access the net for 2 days BSNL Connecting....

Leave the Pulse generator and ign coil as stock, dont follow any diagrams for that. We r supposed to fiddle with the alt coil only. U can bolt the black wire anywhere u'll get a good gnd as Doc said. Make sure that ur batt -ve is grnded with a thick guage wire ie; a 4 Sqmm wire with the help of a cable socket at both ends to ensure that proper gnding. Go to any good electrical shop and ask for a 25cm 4Sqmm cable with 2 socket, pull out the strands to fit into the sockets and press with a good plier to make sure that its intact, u can even try a small hammer if u've patience. Bolt both the ends to batt and chassis bolt where there's no rust and clean.

I think Doc's right. U've to re route the electricals to DC supply. Here's my diagram:





Now, u've identify the stock rr out to the light supply wire and feed that to ign batt switch out so that it will power up only when the ign switch is on. Next take the stock head lights 3 wires ie; low, high and gnd to feed the relays for the bulb as shown in the diagram. Load the bulb with thicker guage wires thru relays will make sure that its working at its optimum. Dont connect the stock RR any more for trial as it may damage other components incl RR.

U've choosen wisely, Amron is the best choice as u'll get replaced if u fry it in the initial days, once u settle with the setup it can offer a trouble free life for atleast 3 years. Dont try to everything as DIY, After all its not a part of DIY, its the concept materialising by urself, but u can take the help of professionals like u took from the electrician. Certain things like fabricating brackets, welding, winding u cant do it alone. U cant do without proper machine and skills, so take it to a welding workshop and they can fix it easily and neat without seeing blood Make sure that batt wont shake or vibrate after fixing else it may cause issues.

C'mon man, dont be shy or feel bad in asking any silly/stupid queries, even those can lead u/us to some other valuable idea. We all leant this way, no one is an expert but expertise with others help and thats the benefit in this forum.

I would repeat Doc's statement u could've wind the poles fully to reap the full benefit rather sticking the stock manner. U r not following the stock alt so u could've done that.

U can use the stock wires coming out of the stator cover safely as u can see the guage of APE RR's thickness, its almost as same as the stock wire coming out. After all its AC and will not deliver full output @ all rpms, so no worries, But u need to use thicker wires to carry DC from batt and thatz a must.

Hope the diagram will clarify ur doubts, if not feel free to ask.

@ ajay

thanks for playing your part in informing us with hid for bikes, but unfortunately i had ordered a pair which luckily got canceled, thanks to sajjt and thus this particular hid kit is not that i am looking for...
read from page 1 and you'll get the idea..
if you can get me particular types like h3, h1, h7 bla bla then you'll hear from me soon...

@ doc

Yup bleeding was there
its alright as i have shed my sweat and blood for this mod
i used dettol instantly to wash off, as there was grease too in my hands, so far its healing but a bit pain is there which is normal.
i dunno as how can you be a medical doc and a gearhead at the same time.... will definitely meet you someday.
its difficult to cope up with biology and electronics, ask me..
thanks a lot doc.

@ sajit

getting rid of grease is simple.
the sacks in which farmers supply wheat and rice ....
i dunno what you call it particularly in English, its called BORI in punjabi...
buy one for 5 bucks and cut it into many small hankies and it easily wipes off grease
make sure its a rough brown cloth kinda thing, I'll post a pic

thanks for the diagram, its more clear now..
DIY well i always thought that living in mumbai will make everything done, but no one here is innovative, or even values an innovation, atleast in my reach so had to get all hands down myself..

thanks for the diagram again initially it was a bit confusing (thanks to those bunking of physics lectures and roaming around)
but now its crystal clear...
dad has taken the bike somewhere so I'll wait until he comes back and then off to an auto electrician...


THANKS THANKS THANKS everyone
Sajjt, doc, shreeni, abhi..
i owe you people a lot..........

Gunny bags

Gunny bags? Lol, sorry yar... I dont've that much patience to make them into hankies May be my puppy can do it in minutes, he's got a record of tearing a car mat into no of pieces in just 5 mins once we forgot to close the door. My bad and made a hole of 1250/- in my wallet for the same

Dude, dont go for these making them hankies if u can get Rs10. cotton waste and clean it. Our mechs r using the same for cleaning and every service we'll get a bill for this too. The problem is even if u use ur proposed or the cotton waste, the grease will be very much there even after 2-3 washes especially inside the nails Thats the one I want to get rid of. Any tips?




I hope ur issues must've solved by now.

reply in bold

............................................sorry if had gone ot in some places.

Wow, Drji, I need a quick and snappy tip for this. Am fed up with this mess. I use dish wash liquid after the cotton waste but still its there even on my finger print grooves I used to repeat the soap treatment for 2-3 times to get rid of this thick grease.This is what my better half advises too in this mess, she's a staff nurse and been in theatre for a while so she says washing is the most toughest part than in theatre as it should be germ free.

Petrol treatment is more easy and that too stinks and more over its making the skin very dry as am basically a dry skin type. I don't like other Vaseline or any moisturizing creams.

Again nice auto-biography and my best wishes for ur higher studies. U've got the talent of writing and being a tourer why don't u try a travelogue?

Wrong, no ac wire will be routed to the ign switch as its obvious that it produces AC when the engine is running. And most bikes have only two contacts in the ign swtich, ign/earth and the batt. Forget about the old TVS Max/Sam series which were having the same stupid (My second bike was a Samurai *&*#& ) arrangement to save an extra switch. Those were the days where there wont be any flash switches in bikes.So u need to route it thru the ign switch first then feed it to the Stock RR AC out wire, then all other lights will work on DC and load the bulb from batt thru relays.

The battery is charged with DC current, and the halogen is charged by AC. Won't we need some AC to DC converter for feeding the AC current to the battery?

,glad you liked it.well repeated washing is the only wat to get tid of dirt,and the best way to use gloves,surgical one while working..as your better half told already,well,she is correct,ask her the various methods of scrubbing which i showerd in the picture,you will understand it better.
as of writing ,well i wrote some ,here are the links,there are tons of pics,enjoy.

is that so.well i thought as when the ign switch is off if we kick the engine while keep the headlight switch in on position it dosent glow,so there must be a switch in ign which is cutting the ac also.i remember when old bajaj scooters are kicked the horn and light used to glow momentarily as the ign switch was not in series.i may be wrong.
in this case the bike is already converted to dc so all lines are dc only and there is no ac phase in the system .

the output of my ape rr gives 8 volts at 2000 rpm, and 34 volts at 7500 rpm

how can i control it?
my batt (old one) was completely discharged and took only 1/2 an hour to charge to max.
also my headlight has become very very very poor, its almost off, my indicators give more light than headlight.
i disconnected my batt and ape rr, and using old rr with old batt so that no matter what happens i don't spoil my bike..

what should i do to control the output voltage which shouldn't exceed 14.5 v
if i put a relay to cut off the supply to batt then it would cut off at 3500 rpm itself..
if i put up a 7815 circuit in the wire connecting the batt, then i thought it would work well even though it does not supply below 15 volts but it can't hold more than 1 amp..
it got blown away today.

a new mess

How are you measuring?

Do this -
1. Connect coil o/p to RR unit i/p.
2. Connect RR unit o/p to battery. Do not connect the battery to the rest of the bike wiring.
3. Measure voltage across the battery terminals for some duration.

7815? Forget it. Mostly looks like a wiring error.

+1 to abhijit.
select dc 20 volts in your digital multimeter.check with a charged battery.

i connected the multimeter to the yellow wire to ape rr
and it shows such high current, thats y i didn't connect it to my batt...

batt shows 12.5 const

Can you elaborate the connections? If you connected the meter in current mode across the rr unit o/p what you did was wrong. That will just blow up the meter.

NANO PUT UP SNAPS ASAP OF YOUR CONNECTION,IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR SYSTE,M
