    No sound just that the light jitters compared to headlight

    I care on my personal safety more than any oncoming traffic; so I intent to setup the aux lights parallel to my high beam that way I've a choice to turn ON/OFF with who disrupt my vision in the night.

      I won't say good choice, but wise choice. You can now start zipping through traffic and don't have to care about expensive body panels.

        In my case the aux lights are mounted on inner side of turn indicators.

        With this arrangement i can adjust the angle of light throw. The output is really good, lights up the road extra 50% compared to high beam.

            Very interesting setup; if you could share, please share a pic or explain where the aux lights have been mounted, unless its on the sides of number plate mount. Thanks.

              Won't those lights interfere with the suspension Incase you run into a pothole or large speed breaker?

                Guess there should be enough clearance between the suspension and the lights when the bike is travelling in a straight line.While turning, you hit a pot hole a bigger one, that is questionable

                  That is a very sleek placement you found. Its almost hidden inside the faring, is it a DIY? could you share more details?

                  In turning, bigger pot hole. Then we have to worry more about other things than the clearance between the lights and the suspension .

                  Here are the pics, as I said its taken from mobile phone and the size of the pictures are reduced for better handling. So the quality is definitely low, but it should give you some idea about brightness. The wall was about 15-20 feet away from the bike

                    I'm a bit curious to know where is this setup connect to on your bike? Also there would be more drainage on the batteries or does it run on its own electrical power? Ive seen a similar setup on a duke. Im curious also if I change my light setup to HID bi xenon, does it need a more powerful battery?

                      I have a separate toggle switch connected to operate these lights. The source is our stock battery, I have taken the power from pass switch wiring inside the left hand switchgear.

                      I don't use this as DRL's so it have not drained the battery yet. The max I have used is for some 45 mins in the speeds above 70 kmph, and other times I use it for very small duration like 1 or 2 mins when I need more light on roads.

                      I am not an expert on lightings, but I guess if you are going to use a good quality HID setup the stock battery should be able to handle it.

                        How does the battery handle the load, have you changed your battery from stock ones to something more powerful ?

                          Hey guys,
                          I had some irritating noise from the engine at 3-4k rpm about which i had posted a few days back. I had mailed HMSI about the issue and they kept in touch from then, as the svc in my hometown didn't have spares for cbr, i took it to a bigger svc today and got the "CAM CHAIN TENSIONER" replaced under warranty. Thank you everyone for your suggestions! Now the bike is running super fine

                            It's the stock battery which is close to 3 years old.

                              My CTT was changed at 25k kms, which is a bit early. What is your odo reading? Did they charge you for the CCT?

                                I don't think that's early bro, my odo reads 3800 kms!!
                                No, i wasn't charged anything for it. I was surprised that they didn't even add the labour charge They said it was a manufacturing defect.
