    you'll have to search this thread for details but i remember some members having used the nightbreaker on the rtr. however, there was something about 55/60w bulbs not operating at peak lighting levels on magneto power. still better than the stock though. try contacting kauria. he's in kolkata and has tried loads of headlight mods on the rtr.

          Yes, it s a direct fit, but u wont get the full illumination effect of the 55W bulb as the RTR has a 35W coil.
          When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

              I am not sure jonak. Cos Zma s Headlamp runs off the battery(DC), i guess the bulb will draw the amount of current required from the battery.

              In case of other bikes, the Coil powers the headlamp, the coil can max give out only 35W, hence u don utilise the bulb to its fullest.

              Then again,someone(Inder i guess) said that in the Zma, the electricals run on DC only upto 3k RPM and after that it runs on AC. So, i am all the more confused.
              When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

              • Thanks again dude. Actually I am planning to install a Nightbreaker in my ZMA. But here in Kolkata it is available in pair. One of my friends (a RTR 160 owner) wants to pair with me if the bulb fits in his RTR and gives better illumination than the stock halonix 35W/35W. Hence my query.

                  convert the RTR's headlight to DC and plonk in the NB. and ur ZMA can take NB with ease

                      but it will still be better than the stock 35w right ? so i guess jonak can go ahead and recommend the NB even without converting to dc. reason i'm saying this is coz not evryone does the dc conversion the right way.

                      yup, i've noticed brake fade too after an extended session of hard riding/braking. but the thing is since we're not racing we can just ride sedately till the brake gets back to normal. never had to stop to cool though. i had this suspicion from the start that even though it was a petal disc, the disc material itself wasn't so great. i've nothing to back that though, just a gut feeling from visual observation. kinda like the how the old HH discs (nissin) were great and the new tata ones weren't that good.

                        cuz i always ripped it in straights and not in the repeated twisties...
                        man...u fried the hell outta that disc ha..........

                        but ya i experienced this on pulsar (150) after i had a high speed session in ghat downwards....
                        the front disc went numb completely...

                        • Update on "injection unit" that was replaced...

                          the bike is running fine, i've done 110 kms after the change and (fingers crossed) thr's no missing in the cold and hot temps both...

                          the signature "missing" between 2000-3500 has vanished completely and the new "missing" which i experienced upwards of 7500 twice, is not there too....

                          the bike is running more smooth,and is revving more freely...
