Hey man even I had been caught by the stunting bug..but grew out of it after my friend had a fall on his bike

To do a wheelie from standstill put the bike in 1st gear and rev it till 7k rpm and release the clutch..but be careful its not so easy to control the bike..

I was doing wheelie in my passion at 12th std

But, I didnt have much guts to do it in FZ. Have done wheelie twice and yes, as you said it is hard to control.
One bitter experience is that I have tried stoppie once. But, had a really bad deal with the tank. Hope you understand what would have happened

Red ones are normal 5-mm clear high-bright LED. White for park is SMD LEDs. They are compact and bright and spread is even unlike pointed in normal LEDs.

Circuit used is type-R branded strobe controller. You can get any local strobes and strip its circuit and use for this purpose. Or if you are a techy, then program controller on your own

and if anyone knows or can find out how much will a electric one cost please tell

Electric ones cost around 450-550, available on ebay and all Big Bazaar outlets. But you have to install power socket in bike or get a 12V supply to run it.

Pls enlighten me a bit more about the light..Which one to go for in a cost effective manner.+where can I get it in bangalore..

Cheapest and most effective is to go for a 55/60 H4 as mentioned before. They cost from 120 to 250 depending on make. All these NB and Crystal visions outputs only upto 10% more light compared to normal H4 at 800-900 bucks. Always use the normal color temperature bulbs as bling whites plays spoilsport in rain and mist.

You will get them in any car/bike spare shop and it's just a DIY 5-minute plug and play job.

i cannot spend on nitrogen filling because i am loosing pressure more than others but there are no punctures

Losing Pressure quickly ? Have you checked the condition of your rims ?

Search ebay.in for "12V Air Pump" you'll get some results.

But, it's not easily portable and where you'll find a 12V socket unless you have a car?

I have had problems with a 55W bulb ...

, Quite a few blown fuse's and a highly unreliable bike , used to completely shutdown while riding ... I do not know if this problem was specific to my bike but after switching back to stock , have not had the problem again .

Yup, quite obvious. 60/55 will need more current which the battery cannot give.

As it draws more current = more heat and fuse blows.

Also, the shut down of the bike is because the lamp takes lot of current and no power is left for the ignition.

Only option is HID or put 60/55 W with a higher capacity battery with a re-wound coil

Hi Paray,
This is not true. I have been using 2 55W Hella Micro De-Fog lamps on my Fz, in addition to the 35w HID (but never used both together) with the stock battery (5Ah). I never faced any issue (did some trips 100kms+) with the battery except the horn was weaken a bit. There may be other issues for the blown fuse. I'm no pro, but you can check the discussion in the lighting thread, I had prolonged discussion there with the Gurus.
Also rewinding needs to be done carefully, best option is to go for higher Ah battery.

+1. I have been using 55/60 over a year. Frequently using passby on highway (high+low = 115W). Also got a pair of 5A horns. Never faced any such fuse or battery issue. No rewind. Still on stock wiring. Horn wired parallel to entire electricals via fuse and relay.

My battery was changed recently, but not because of H/L or horn

So this 55/60 will not cause any magor problem in the long run???Because I really want to change my stock fast..night riding is getting dangerous especially in rain.Or should I go for HID??

Lots and lots of bikers doing this. So there shouldn't be any issue on long run. Even 100/90s are there

Investement vs performance, 55/60 rocks

HID kit cost around 1.3k for a decent Chinese one. After warranty (3,6,12 months depending on PRICE and seller), if bulb or ballast gone = new kit for 1.3k.

Branded ones cost around 4k.

When it comes efficiency, HID rules. Works well in stock bulb's rating.

**abhijitkn** · 08-17-2011, 05:13 PM

^ Hi Cscsarkar,

Check this thread
Navanish from Bangalore has a descent 55HID which is warm in color. Don't go for white one since it will be of no use in rains.
Post your queries in the thread..you will be heard..
