Thanks for the credit and your appreciation. Actually everything can be solved in a simple manner. It is we who makes the system complicated. Off-course it is not our fault. It is the education system which made us like this. While we are doing engineering, MBBS, e.t.c anything which can be explained simply and easily is made complicated. When we cannot understand anything our professors just advice us to mug them up and vomit on the exam paper. Nobody is interested in understanding and thinking practically. Everybody is studying with only the motive of scoring high percentage. We follow foreign authors books but similar or better books are written by our indian authors which helps in understanding the concept. So whole point is that we are ourself making the matters complicated. I always try to find the simplest of solution and do it in such a way that i can make the other person understand.


What happened to your hunk. Just ask me for any help anytime.

Apart from the camshaft, carb jets everything is interchangeable with unicorn even the cdi.

This sucks big time .

Hero has completely stopped selling over the counter spares.Today only i went to SC and they told me to leave the bike they will change the ring - only then they will give the clutch+bore packing. They are saying even if i want to change the air filter i have to leave the bike for service or i wont get any spares .

This particular SC is run by a bunch of thieves so i called the head mech in vellore and he is saying they too have stopped selling over the counter .Without proper packing the head mech is not willing to touch the bike but he confirmed unicorns rings will work on xtreme - i will try to get it from some other SC but i am not sure if i will get the packing .

can anyone confirm this ?

OT - this forum needs to incorporate the "like" button thing i see on other forums i visit .

... I have a different plan. After warranty gets over i have the following plan:-
1. Convert to DC as i have explained.
2. The stock bulb will be there.
3. Fit two projectors on leg guards on both side using GI sheet tubes as mentioned in GS thread.
4.Then i will fit 25 watt H7 bulbs in both the projectors.
5. Each projectors will have individual switch. So that depending on the requirements i will switch the required light to assist the headlight.
Like this but instead of HID i will go 25 watt H7 bulbs which will assist the original headlight.
Since all will be running on DC i, they will provide best illumination....

This sucks big time .

The counter sell is not stopped . Here you can get what you need if it's available . Why Hero will stop counter sell ? They getting money with it .
I think it is by your ASC , may be they have shortage of spare or getting very less bike to work on . Contact HMC thro there web .

I had similar experience, I went to a big ASC (RAJ motors if am not wrong) and asked for indicator bulbs, they told they do not sell over the counter.
But, there is a small ASC in Nungambakkam, I used to get engine oil from there.
So, I think this is only followed by some idiots.
Also, I've seen Hero genuine spare parts dealers like "Focuz" in Kerala, they used to have all Hero genuine spares. There should be some dealers like that here as well, I think googling will help you....

This is a good idea , I have always been exasperated why a 6-cell flashlight(torch) is able to throw a clear compact beam at least 10 meters away while our bikes with all the alternator-battery-wiring-reflector-halogen-bulb setup can't do that .

Same thing here too . But I have found the way to bypass it .
See, for every Indian state HeroHonda has a statewide distributor/stockist for all their parts , usually located at the capital city . HeroHonda does not supply it's ASC's with parts , except for a warranty replacement item . The ASCs are supposed to buy all their parts requirement from this authorised statewide distributor . Like for West-Bengal the authorised distributor is Bansal-Motors in Kolkata .
Find out where your local HeroHonda ASC is buying their parts from , or otherwise who is the authorised distributor for your city - and they'll happily sell you all the parts you want and at the correct catalog rates too . This is what I do now .

Of course yes.

From yesterday there is a great dilemma over electrical of bike.
So here i am clearing all your doubts.
Lets start with basics:-
1.What is RR?
A RR is nothing but regulator and rectifier.
2.Why is the name Regulator & Rectifier?
Well the unit has two functions. It regulates the AC current and converts a part of AC current to DC and rest regulated AC to electricals.So basically RR unit converts AC to DC and also regulates the AC current by capping the voltage.
3.How does a RR unit know how much to give for AC and how much to give for DC?
It is a function of coil to determine how much to give for AC and How much to give for DC.
Lets say for CBZ extreme.
WE know every thing except headlight runs on DC. So RR unit must send 3 amps to AC circuit and rest to DC. So what happens is that in coil the no. of poles are divided. Suppose there are 8 poles. So after three poles the coil will be grounded and rest five poles will also be grounded. One wire from 3 poles will feed the regulator and the ground will serve as negative. Similarly the 5 poles will feed the rectifier and the ground will serve as negative. Basically the grounding of coil varies with the ratio of AC and DC.
4. How can we make CBZ/HUNK full DC or RUN 60/55 WATT bulb?
From the above point you can easily understand how the current is distributed between AC and DC circuit. So what happens is that the RR unit sends only 3 amps to headlight and rest is wasted as heat. So direct fitting 60/55 bulb will not light because of regulator as it regulates the maximum current and voltage.
Hero has done the most foolish thing in giving the ac to headlight and rest all dc because it will cost more for ac and dc set-up and also the wiring gets complicated. Instead full DC would have been easy.
We know our extreme produces 140 watts of electrical power.
so 140/12= 11.67 amp.
Load-
Headlight- 35 watt- 35/12=2.9 amp.
tail light- 0.5 watt- 0.5/12=0.04 amp
stop light- 4.1 watt- 4.1/12= 0.34 amp
meter led- 4 watt(NA)- 4/12= 0.3 amp
Parking bulb- 5w- 5/12 = 0.4 amp.
so total= 3.98 amp.
Adding Indicators, DC CDI, e.t.c comes to around 6 Amps. Remember indicators are momentary loads so they are not important. Even starter motor is also not calculated as when operating the starter every thing else would be turned off.
So in a nut shell our stock coil is more than enough. But the problem is this AC and DC partition. So what we can do is we must remove the partition.
For this we must remove the coil from the ground and join together so that eight poles become a single unit. Now both the ends of the coil must be fed to a rectifier. We can use APE rectifier as it can take load up to 20 A without sweating. By this way we can get all 11 amps to battery.

Is that safe to let such high current to our battery ?? and how long it should take to charge the battery at such high current.not more than an hour i guess

Now regarding wiring just take the output from ape rectifier and feed the battery. Ground the negative wire to body as it will serve the negative for entire wiring.
Now take the wire to headlight and feed the wire to dc through the ignition.
Now your bike will be full DC.
It will take hardly 30 mins if you are well versed with the bike.
So what you have to do is:-
1. unground the coil negative and make the coil a single unit.
2. Feed the wires from coil to APE rectifier
3. Lead the wires from ape rectifier to battery.
4. Ground the negative from battery.
5. You can use the stock wiring, just cut the wire to headlight from the old RR unit connector and connect it to stock DC circuit. Your DC conversion will be complete.
