i doubted it exactly, but i washed my bike with very mild pressure and i didn't sprayed directly at the 'head' and to the spark plug area....

stalling with RTR was common with that 'silver' injector but it used to crank up in the first self after that....

this was the first, with the black injectors.....

There might be little bit of moisture or water in the plug cap joint. Just unscrew the plug cap from the plug wire and check. there should be a cap kind of a rubber at joint (where sprak plug wire and the plug cap joins). make sure its fittied in properly. else water seeps in easily.

this could be the reason....
i'll check it...

has anyone tried out different sproket combinations??

has anyone tried out different sproket combinations on their Apache 150/RTR??

I guess the stock Front/Rear sprocket teeth combination is F/R=13T/43T

has anyone tried different comb. to make taller/shorter gearing??...I want my Apache to run on taller gearing...so these are the various options available.
(more teeth on front sproket or less teeth on rear sproket=taller gearing)

Pulsar 150-F/R=14T/44T
Pulsar 180-F/R=14T/43T
TVS star city-F/R=13T/41T

Have any of you guys fiddled with ur sprokets...share your experience!!..thanks.

Agreed. Current depends on the load (resistance). Since, the battery voltage is 12V and LEDs probably function at 2V (depends on the type), you can think of connecting a number of LEDs in series.
I feel that, the resistor you are planning to connect in series will dissipate the energy as heat, whereas LEDs in series dissipate that as light (a preferred and useful one)

I have to experiment on it.
Connecting 5 LEDs in series to 12V will result (V=I*R, => R=V/I) series resistance of around 600 Ω

, so better to use 680 Ω to 1 KΩ.
Now the only thing to calculate is wattage rating of Resistor.

Expecting some more light on this topic from Techie seniors

Which language is this, Chinese?

What are your trying to experiment on?

C'mon yaar, its scientific. Ω is Ohm. Don't embarrass me yaar

It'll be some hit-&-trial method to calculate wattage of LED indicators.

They are chinese to most of the commerce/economics student and for ppl from other field like me

Why bother soo much? You'll only end up saving the battery from draining faster. Which is unnecessary unless u plan to power the headlight directly from battery!

U got to the point.

I'm planning THAT

And may be some other freaky load (accessory, of course not the HORN and flashy lights).

exactly same for a MBA like me.........

but running the same 35/35 with the battery wont impact on the brightness much...
and to run a HID of 55/60 watts will require a large amp battery...
and that'll call for the wiring and fuse issues i think....

What about "Nightbreaker"??

All ideas accepted...

**Technocrat** · 11-19-2009, 08:56 PM

hmm but why not try the 35w HIDs, they would be bright & still be of same wattage as stock?

**ravs** · 11-19-2009, 09:04 PM

Been there done that.....

I tried it.... Fitted a 37T at the rear. The bike became butter smooth cus I was doing 80kmph at 4000rpm. But the bike would struggle to go beyond 110. required more stretch of road to do that. The pickup also reduced but still could match the pulsar 150.

Later I tried with the front sprocket. Got an extra tooth added to the front with stock rear.
Pickup died out considerably. also i used to feel that while trying to get more pickup, it would feel as if there was considerable strain on the engine. Sometimes i could hear a knocking sound also.

I am now back to the original factory setting, and loving it all the way. All the vibbes are back but THAT is the character of the RTR. The power throughout the RPMs is remarkable again. I find the stock sprockets more to my liking since I can have power when I need it and economy when I need it. No need to change anything.

**onlinesatish** · 11-20-2009, 12:38 PM

illa anna, The ugrapdes am talking abt or the usaul upgrades to eliminate the niggles in the bike. Not some performance upgrades!

**indianz_alive** · 11-20-2009, 12:43 PM

RTR 180 FI was always on the cards...

ABS was also in news right when RTR160Fi was being waited.
I hope the ABS can be installed in existing RTRs too, and also, this ABS to be true ABS and not just any pressure regulator which are rumored in market as "Mechanical ABS", courtesy: Saferide ABS

.

In a series circuit , the current "I" is the same, so wattage is simply I*I*R watts, already you have calculated the resistance values.

BTW, V=12V, How you calculated the resistance as 600 ohm? Have you measured the current using a ammeter or the voltage drop at each resistor?
