    I'm glad you are okay. What happened to that dog? Did he survived?

      Thank you
      The dog gave a loud cry, got up and started chasing the other dogs.

          on your advice have ordered for a new spark plug my bhaiya said iridium ones are better so have ordered for that will take a day or two

          another good news

          I upgraded the headlights to HID with Projector and angel eyes My bike is looking Damn cool now.
          sadly 4300k is not available here in Raipur so got fitted the 8000k one

          also the shopkeeper was a known person so he quoted me a price of Rs.2250+Rs.100 for blackening the reflector..
          these are chinese ones, the one with a warranty is not available in Raipur

          he was telling me not to blacken the reflector because in case i want to revert back i can't but I wanted a new look for the bike so wanted this
          but I tried a new way I blackened just the outer part of the reflector(you can see if you look closer headlight reflector has two units outer which is attached to outer transparent fibre with screws and the inner one)
          I have just blackened the outer one
          and this is the result
          hows this looking now friends??? [MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] [MENTION=28527]sibun[/MENTION] sir [MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION] sir any advice,comments or suggestions if you would like would be helpful

          ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

            Iridium is used for long plug life...if you want performance and better FE go for the "G" power plug. 8000K color temperature is in the Blue region. The HID Headlight will look good in dry weather...if it rains or there is smog or fog , your light will be pathetic. any color temperature above 4,300 K is a waste, and not worth it....Chinese HIDs are 1,500/- and branded Original Philips will be 6,000/-...
            Over a period of time the HID will fail (depending on usage). and is not reliable if you plan on long trips....

              8000k is bluish bro and though it looks cool, it wont be safe to ride at night.. the road visibility will be poor and well i dont want to even imagine the next thing that can happen.. at max you can go upto 6000k but again if it rains or if there is fog or smog, the visibility is zero as white light wont penetrate through.

              Dont worry. Even if you are planning to revert back to stock. The headlight assembly wont cost you more than 1500.. been there and done that..

              If i were you, i would be looking out for 4300k which i still am looking for (HID).

              BTW. Red ZMR looks sexy..

                    The reflector is smoked to make it look cool. I had the inside reflectora smoked and left the reflectors of the Patking lighta just to make it look different. If you don't smoke the reflector. It is good so when you decide to remove your projector, yiu dont have to get a new headlight assembly which will cost you am additional 1500/-

                      thanks for the prompt answer sir
                      okay then will better go for G-Power ones
                      And yes I did read about this 8000k hid's cons in your previous posts but sadly that was the only option available here
                      and yup light is not so good although more than stock ones still am not satisfied
                      thats why I was asking can i change just the bulbs of hid from 8000k to either 6000k or 4300k???

                        Yes you can if you can find it. Get the specs.of your current HID bulb amd look for it. Ask the seller if he can get you 4300k or 6000k

                                I dunno if its just me or the bike is revving up much freely than before some amount of engine oil was present in the air filter compartment and one of my friends mentioned that it was normal.

                                Btw, is there an oil filter for our bikes? Not the one with the drain bolt, but one that is housed in a separate compartment??
