Hi Frnds!

I want to fix a Engine gaurd to fazer is it possible?
probably the one in R15, I enq here in Yamaha service chennai thy told its possible but need to do some modd for clamps !!!!

Is tht will be fine if i fix it !
Suggest me am confused.....

Lets study some physics now.

Assuming bike battery voltage = 12V

Each Bulb wattage = 35W
Calculating Resistance(R) of 1 Bulb:
Power(P) = Current(I) x Voltage(V);
35W = I x 12 V
I = 35/12 A = 2.9 A
R = V/I = 12/2.9 = 4.14 Ohm

Case 1: Both Bulbs in serial connection:
R = R1 + R2 = 4.14 + 4.14 = 8.28 Ohm
I = V/R = 12/8.28 = 1.45 A
Power required by battery:
P = V x I = 12V x 1.45 A = 17.5W

Power Supplied to each 35W bulb = 17.5 / 2 = 8.75
Inference: Both bulbs run at 1/4 Illumination, i.e. Reduced illumination as compared to stock, decrease in battery discharging rate 17.5W as compared to 35W

Case 2: Both Bulbs connected in Parallel:
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
(Cutting the Carp)
R = 2.07 Ohm
I = V/R = 12/2.07 = 5.8 A
Power required by battery:
P = V x I = 12V x 5.8A = 70W
Power Supplied to each 35W bulb = 70 / 2 = 35W
Inference: Both bulbs run at full illumination with improved visibility but with increased battery discharge rate 70W instead of 35W.

Conclusion: If Yamaha hasn't considered that users will be doing such mods, you are running towards deep shit (Dead battery + no kick starter + Middle of the night)

Great stuff man!! I've noticed reduced illumination of the headlights in Fazer compared to R15 even if both have same bulbs. So I'm using only one light at a time.

BTW, my high beam light is brighter than my low beam light!

What can be the reason?

Check the pictures of R15 n Fazer headlight. See the difference!

guys any suggestion where i can place "46" on my Yellow Streak FZ?

im thinking in the rear under the Yamaha logo?!

yeah exactly u have to stick it there....as of ghost riders anniv edition...u have got a yellow fz-s,,,so yellow sticker wud look gud.....

Of course! The Fazer is not designed to run 2 headlight together at a time. So, the battery gets discharged and the light gets dim!

Ok. But why the illumination is not the same?

Even if I use one light at a time, the higher beam is brighter!

Ok what is the specification of both the lights? Are they same?

Both are Phillips HS1 12v 35/35W, the stock ones..

In that case, the difference should be minor. The lower beam spreads out a little compared to the focused high beam, hence the low beam appears weaker. But it is a minor difference. Else, maybe you have got some problems.

Well I ve got for sure.. and many times....and if that wasnt enuf, another strange thing is happening these days... Every weekend the air pressure in both the tyres get reduced to almost half the value... I ve checked with MRF, and they have confirmed (not once but twice) that this is not a puncture... what can be cause? Any 1, Any idea?

Hi guys I have finally posted the review of my Fazer on my blog..I don't know whether its right or wrong to put link of my blog on this post. In case if its wrong then Mods plz remove it.

Life is Beautiful!!

enjoy

I've tested the light intensity while parking it in my garage. The wall was at a distance of about 1.5 feet (It's also clear from the headlight pic posted earlier). I think there's some fault. I'll get it checked by the svc guys.

This is some Firangi conversation about our FZ16

Most of us are lucky. Look at the FZ16 - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

The fuel knob will be inaccessible after attaching the R15 engine guard/full fairing I guess!

**Wheel_Spin** · 10-05-2009, 04:15 PM

And since the engine is air cooled, unlike the liquid cooled engine on the R15 i don't think it's a good idea to add the engine fairing.
