    Hi Sambit bhai, IRC available in CTC/BBSR, could you please share some details?

      Was down for two days coz of health. Anyways, Read your FAQs for RTR owners, and thank you for the information! I see that when it comes to headlamps you have given that for old RTR you need to convert to all DC setup. I'm not familiar with electrical statements and terms, but I see in my owners' manual that type is '3 phase Alternator' and from this I assume it's still AC and I need to convert to full DC before I can try on HIDs. Would like to hear more about this. I also had been searching about HIDs, but I think I would have someone else do it than attempting to mess it up myself. :P

        The new RTRs are DC but it still wont be able to sustain more than 35w HIDs, you need to get rewinding done.
        And what all you want to know in HIDs, I am currently on HID + Projector Setup, might pass on any info if that helps

          I thought 12V, 9.0Ah battery could support HID. Anyways, I'ld like to know the following as I am a layman on this (and most other topics ).

          1. Which mfnr do you endorse for HID + projector setup.
          2. How much would it cost me, approx, to get this done? Do I have to go for Ape RR since I don't have to do DC conversion?
          3. Will introducing this to a stock bike void warranty?

Am still running on them will change back to 100/90 profile this summer. After doing lots of naughty stuff I came to one conclusion Stay stock stay sexy !
            No I dont feel, it hampers the chain sprocket's life. All is normal in my bike. have changed chain sprocket twice till now, at around every 20K. I had changed my tires when my ODO was 24K. now its 44K.

            Yup, At Buxibazaar. It was Rs 2.8K then. Now it is above 3K(with fitting).

            Meanwhile 44K completed.

              1. Philips have HID , quite pricey though. Chinese HID and Projector setup can be bought in 2-3k easily. I prefer a 35w HID with Pulsar's Projector or if you have the money Skoda Octavia's projector.
              2. Here in Delhi it costs 3k + 1k(max) fitting charges. The RR unit would be the same but the rewinding of the coil needs to be done.
              3. Any electrical changes TVS are more than happy to void your warranty.

              • Weird,funny,strange,pissing off things happen to my bike..
                1.Engine oil started leaking from the 3 way metal tube (as in pic)..
                Was wondering what could have caused this leak.?Component to be replaced or "re-threading".??

                2.Rode back home from college, some 70km..Found the indicator in this condition & the screw missing..I guess the screw fell off due to the vibrations..

                3.The nut used for chain adjustment was standing on its last thread,ready to fall out, a few days back..

                PS; need to check all nuts & screws before a ride, they tend to fall off...

                  Loosing or almost loosing screws and nuts have been common for me from the beginning. Thankfully I've been able to source/get them all. So now its a practise to check all screws, bolts, nuts and even try tightening those at critical parts....

                  reg oil leak on the oil lines, check the bolt at the top (where it goes into the cylinder head). Take to a workshop and check it and add a fiber washer/spacer if required.

                    I guess I'll wait till warranty period is over.

                    • Hello guys, I would like to know if I could use a 55w Headlamp bulb without any mods. If yes please suggest me a few brands.

                      Thank You.

                          Regulator and Rectifier Unit. When we need a clean DC output from a converted AC input we need to use RR.
