    @rcazador: Check on ebay and you can get LEDs at a much cheaper price

Also higher cc is planned but not on the immediate as the 250 cc. In 1-2 months the advertisement regarding the suspense will be out before the bikes looks are released and in 4 months its display and specs will be out.

    I am eagerly waiting for it and my bank is forcing me to take a loan as i have not taken a single staff loan, if this releases in Diwali i will immediately take a loan, and buy it. Lets wait for 2-3 months to see the bike.
    Hope they dont make another pathetic ad (like that Ranbir Kapoor one) or the one for CBZ extreme(Thinking is just a waste of time)

              One of our older member Vineeth Aredath had 3 HIDs in his ZMA...had battery drain problem and later reverted to stock Headlights for reliability...

                HIDs are a big head ache.. you will never know when your battery is going to die.. if you are ready to change the battery every 2 months.. then you can go for it..

                    Actually its not(a headache). The only thing is, one has to be aware, as in all mods, as to how far you can go and how much can you tweak a certain part. To stay within safe and reliable limits. There are these smarties who go and hook up HIDs which were meant for big jungle SUVs which have much bigger batteries, much bigger alternators(dynamos), much fatter electrical systems, etc, and then land up in trouble and then they go and say that HIDs are bad or unreliable or such crap. Either the rider or his mechanic has to know what he is doing in order to enjoy the endeavor. No point in putting 80/90 watt HIDs and crying later. Basically if you use HID within 55 Watts and within 6000k and wire it up right with the matching ballast, you should be good to rock!

                      Philips extreme vision H4 12342 XV 12V 60/55W P43t-38 is really a good one you have out there for Rs:550/- For me, it has been doing good for 6 months without any reflector burns. Make sure you don't use it when the engine is off to prevent battery drain.

                          Obviously you guys missed out on something. There are bikes like Unicorns, Apaches, cbz extremes, etc riding on HIDs for years in my neighbourhood without any issue. But yeah, your experience was true for you...

                                I am using MRF Zapper Q 110/90-18 since an year and it has performed well on all tarmac. On wet, grip is pretty decent and I must say much much better than the stock one. It has inspired confidence and I can now lean quite a bit on turns on a completly wet tarmac.
