    BTW I was in Kollam the day before - 3 hours in the morn and then 7.30 PM till yesterday morn . Since I couldn't log in from my Nokia C7 (I could browse but the pressing the sign in button was like pressing a text), I couldn't contact you and ask for your number . Is there a problem signing in from the mob or is it just my phone's problem ?

      Don't tell me that. c7 is a very capable phone, try using some other browser like Uc web or opera. am using uc web and trust me its a wonderful browser. even multi quoting is very much possible with uc.
      Nothing beats stock when it somes to symbian.


      And today Aneesh helped me put back my fairing, cause i'd taken it apart piece by piece, and double taped everysingle part of it..Yup EVERY SINGLE PART!!!. You guys wont believe it but now there are 0 vibes. I heard someone say that the new zma's fibers are stronger than before, But i have to disagree. Its cheaper compared to Aneesh bro's zma, take the visor for eg. In Aneesh's bike theres not even a single crack, but on mine even while unscrewing cracks were forming.

      • Some moron stole petrol from my Zma and on top of it he connected the carb air pipe to the petrol tap thinking it was the petrol pipe.

        My bro had to go to his office urgently and the bike did'nt start and petrol kept overflowing! Lost some good 2-3 ltrs of petrol in the process! He had to take my RTR for work.

        Took me a good 1 hr to figure out the exact problem. was thinking that it was a problem with the float since he ran over a huge ditch at good speed near my hme the previous night. But found out the exact problem only after an hour!

        Morons....gave a piece of mind to our watchmen, but thats of no use, guess i have to install a petrol lock which i dont like, any other options guys?

        Because Zma would be at home for atleast 5 days a week!

              Petrol seems the only choice left but you would have to be careful about the keys for it too.

                  The whiter the H/L , the less visibility you have in fog and rain (compared to yellowish light for the same watts)- that is true unless you have a really good HID . This is what I've gathered from interaction with you guys from the thread . But I don't think it's( your Halonix 55/60W ) 'pukka' white . My Halonix 55/60 W came fron my M800 and it's whiter than my stock 35/35 W bulb , but it's still not "white" white . I didn't put in a relay but am planning to do so .
                  Since the original wiring was meant for 35/35 W and just supports 55/60W since it's of good quality , I don't think 55/60 W users without relay are getting the H/L's full potential ( apart from facing the risk of a burnt wire ) . To get it I think we have to connect the H/L bulb through a relay which is meant for at least that wattage .
                  These are just my thoughts . . could be wrong .

                    Sorry wasnt trying to be sarcastic in anyway, Was kinda shocked cause even my mom chats/posts etc. through her phone(S^1) And stick with stock browser its the best, and try upgrading to latest FW heard the browsers similiar to the ones used in ANNA and there's also extended smiley support

                        Nothing... Should we
                        well to make the best use of your 55w bulb(be it a Nb or Xv or a Ev) its best to use a headlight relay... as you know though zma can handle 55 0r 100w or even 130w bulb with out much trouble(rr,coil and all) your stock wiring and switches wont hold up with these changes because they are not designed to.

                        Back in 2008, i used to experiment a lot with ma headlights. I've used almost all the brands and type of bulb available in the market and also spoiled quiet a few H L units as well,

                        thus from my experience I learnt a valuable lesson that, Be it a 55w or 100w bulb, connect them using a headlight relay.

                        nowadays relay kits are widely available in the market ( if they are available here in Kannur, am 100% sure that its available every where)

                        I've seen many people using higher WATS bulb with out any relay units and
                        praising about their light output but all i can say that what they've seen is nothing. the bulb which you have is a lot more capable.

                        again no offense to anyone . I learned these things from my own experience so thought of sharing it.

                          Edit:- am using relay since 2009 and up to this time , i never had any trouble with it, zma got ample of space in the front cowl to mount a relay and you don't have to make any single modification to the stock wiring harness.

                          lemme know if your planing to do it any time soon
