  • Polarities are important!


    I think you are using LEDs specific for automotive purposes - they come with inbuilt resistors and can run off 12V DC. If so, then no need to bother with resistors for LEDs.

      Yes, am using automotive specific LEDs. Its the same LEDs that YAMAHA Sells as accessories for R15. U get them outside too. They are running on my R15 for the past 3 or so months!

          if its permanent then go for it .. usually i turn it off on highways as headlights come in handy

                • @Abhijeet: These are the LEDs I have bought:


                  If u look at Image - 1, there is a bulb with (+) mentioned on one side and nothing mentioned on the other. So I guess, thats positive and negative. But when I fixed these bulbs on my yamaha, I never bothered about the polarities. Why is that? And why shud I bother about it here on the RTR? BTW I have the same Yamaha sockets only with me to fix on the RTR!

                  P.S: Will try to get the components and setup the circuit by this weekend or next maybe!

                    Yeah, that should be the +ve and -ve. If these are the same LEDs you fixed on the Yamaha, polarity would have mattered. Because these LEDs have no circuits built in, they will not work with wrong polarity. And, this socket should fit I guess.

                    BTW, where can I find them in Chennai and the cost? And what are the colours available?

                      Alright then!! I will try the circuit u gave. BTW I did not get them from Chennai. I bought them at JC Road, Bangalore. AFAIK I have seen them there only. Blue, Red, white are available. There are many more variants eith more bulbs on a single piece. I think u shud get them at Pudupet or GP Road at chennai. I will put it here if I do find it. It cost me 80 Rs a piece at Bangalore.

                      • Alright guys I need some serious Help here.

                        Today while coming to Office I observed that the entire Brake & footrest assembly is moving up & down on bad patches. Checked & confirmed that yes there is indeed something loose or missing somewhere as If I push down the rear Footrest the footrest, Silencer & the part holding all this moves down.

                        I see all the nuts that can be seen on front to be there & I also checked with another RTR in the parking, so this is certainly an issue.

                        Anybody has any idea?

                          Sounds crazy!!! If all bolts are fixed, where could the problem be? Am guessing there is an issue with the stay being attached to the chassis. As the whole assembly is moving up/down am doubting this. I have no more ideas.

                          • Yeah man this is really scary & dangerous. Is there any nut or bold which is inside i.e. not visible from side?

                            Would be extremely careful on my way back. Will show it at the service center soon.

                            With every passing day I am realizing that "The RTR is better packaged product than Pulsar" is nothing but a myth.

                              plz post the "discovery"......after coming from the SC.

                              • Renny, I only chekced the screws which are visible form side & found them to be fine, I am not sure if there is any other place where I should look.
