The rear light being on is as you mentioned adjustable , if its the rear foot brake that's the problem , then there is a nut like thingy on the side of the foot brake, behind the leg rest, you will find it attached with a spring to the play of the brake lever, you can tighten or loosen that nut as and when till the brake lights is adjusted as needed, if its the front brake , there is a adjuster covered in a rubber cover near the front brake lever itself, i don't know how to operate that, someone here might be able to help.

P.S: While adjusting the rear brake light switch, be careful not to make it too loose, the spring might unhook at one end and fixing it back is a bit difficult as reaching the place to hook it back might be a little difficult, but nothing to worry about if you have a little patience, can be done easily.

Hi All,

After contemplating for over 2 years whether to go for a better lighting upgrade or not, i have finally decided to install HID on my FZ. I have always been apprehensive about any minute electrical mods or messing around with the electrical wiring of the stock bike. The stock battery is AMCO 5 amps (i believe i had wrongly mentioned it to be 3.5 amps a long time ago, sorry about that!). So it should be able to take the load of an 35 watt HID easily.

But after getting constant enquiries from Stanley27 and other riders for going ahead with mods like Mad Mik (I completely blame him for laying out such a simple yet detailed info about the installing the kit!! ) abhimanyu31, i felt that i should not be left out right?? Only one man's name constantly came up on xbhp thread whenever the HID was searched right along with xbhp; navnesh. All xbhp riders swear by his product and his HIDs have survived over 4 years without the Ballast or the bulb going kaput. His HIDs have survived the brute journey of Leh, Ladakh and constant thrashing on some of the worst roads in India so i guess i don't need anymore convincing in this regard. For those who are keen or in the process of hunting for HID+Projector+Angel eyes should definitely get in touch with him.

Price/cost??

Well i had a long list of mails exchanged between me and Navnesh. I had specifically mentioned that i donot want more than 35 watts, 4200/4300 Kelvin HID bulb+Projector+Angel eyes (so as to keep the specifications acceptable by pandus/cops in Mumbai and across India) and it should not affect or put load on my battery or electrical systems in any manner. He patiently answered all my queries and recommended that i should opt for HID which is priced a bit higher compared to the cheaper chinese variants which in the market cost 4.5k to 5k INR along with angel eyes and projectors and if lucky may last for 2 years, if not 6 months and without any warranty too.

He has quoted INR 6,500+150 shipping charges.

The set up will have:

* 35 watt 4200K HID bulb car grade quality
* 3 inch with shroud angel eyes (term it a monster one!)
* A strong metal body projector which can also hold a 55 watt HID should i decide to opt for higher output
* Wiring harness and relay for controlling the bi-xenon function.
* 35 Watt Ballast (PICC/CE certified) comes with 1 year warranty.
* Overall 1 year replacement warranty.

I will place an order the moment i am back to Mumbai, so now she will have a bigger heart and better eye sight too!!

I had the exact problem few days ago and after clutch cable replacement and idling adjustment the problem went away. Mechanic adjusted idling in a minute and clutch cable replacement is a 5-10 minute job. Cost of clutch cable is around 105 rs. I would recommend checking idling first and observing result as your bike is too new for clutch cable replacement.

What is the color of brake oil!!!! Today i checked the oil level but it looks like there is no oil.My bike is just 4 months old and there is no sign of leakage. The brakes are working fine.....but i am confused,either the oil is full or nill by the way it looks.

Hey Shiv, so glad that you have decided to take the plunge in HID world . I feel, not only for aesthetics but given the condition of roads and street lighting it can be a life saver.
Thanks for all your patience and research for answering all my irritating queries repeatedly through PMs. Can't thank you enough .

No probs, always glad to help a fellow rider..

Yeah, me too came across tourer gear in HID thread but his response were very slow through FB messages and didn't have his mail id too then. Hence he lost me as a customer.
Anyways, I oredered through R&D Motovil and waiting my courier to arrive now. Co-owner Rohit, is a knowledgeable guy and explains you all the possible options over the phone in details.

Btw, did Navnesh happed to mention anything about the brand of the HID kit like Tech hardy, KDO etc?

Also I am still little confused over the legality of colors in India due to contradictory info over internet. Is anything over 4300K illegal or its safe to use till 6000K in India?

As far as i am aware of 4300K is the legal limit for bikes.. any range above that is purely white light which is absolutely useless when riding in the rains and dangerous too. As far as 4300K is concerned it falls under yellow band of the colour spectrum if i remember correctly and 5000k/kelvin is the colour temperature of the sun.

Navnesh is currently out of country so his responses may be a bit slow... my mails were responded after 2 days but nonetheless that is good enough for me. I haven't checked the brand with him yet but the guy has a reputation in xbhp and also being a passionate rider by himself defines the fact that he knows what he is selling . thats how i ended up buying up my scoyco riding gear!! my seller Bhavishya is an extremely passionate rider so his enthusiasm was good enough for me to make the purchase and now after over 2 years and on the gears have literally outlasted their shelf life!

Even I hope the same but I fear it may be clutch cable then because I don't have any problem about idling I feel. Bike starts normally at the first attempt but sometimes it does stop in slow moving traffic so its a bit confusing. Anyways will get it checked too during bike servicing.

Clutch cable needs to be adjusted and the idling rpm checked. If for any reason the clutch play has become too much and the cable is beyond adjustment, replace it ASAP! Costs just 89 bucks INR.

Through the glass window......mine is Fazer, i checked again,it looks empty to me.Which is the stock oil in Fazer? DOT4 or DOT3.If it is DOT4,i think there should b some kind of line or level in the window.

Thanks for the details...can i open the cylinder to check oil level?

My answers in Bold

@Segagt_0: Bro on Indian highways one needs better low beam spread more than high beam. I am happy with the stock bulb's high beam but low beam is seriously horrible and doesn't highlight anyone suddenly crossing the road which makes it very difficult to do night riding especially on unlit highways.

In your case I believe some slight adjustments with your set up should do the trick . Would you mind sharing some pics of your ride with the HID and another just the angel eyes ON with us folks? I want to see how the shroud angel eyes look like!

Cheers,

Guys did you notice the small lights? Its a DRL that I've made. I've connected it to ignition so everytime i switch the ignition "on", it lights up. Its just a 1 watt led each with a lens taken from eveready lights.. Actually I like to DIY. So all of my cosmetic mods, from plonking in the projectors and painting the reflectors to black to painting matt black on the front mudguard is a DIY.Hope you guys like it.
P.S. : My bike is a 2010 model and has already done 22k+ on the odo..

What I can tell you is that the 5000 K HID are very white,

I'm pretty sure I've got the same light as Luc.

There are so much content here, right in this thread and I have read more than half of it in the last few weeks and if you do see my earlier posts you will see that I have done research.
