[quote=santoosh;170529]Iv ridden for 400+ kms on all combinations
1. 2 60/55w bulbs(NB & SS)
2. 1 60/55w + 1 35/35 w (NB + GE)
3. 1 HID + 60/55w(SS)
4. 2 HID's
completely agree with santoosh .the first combination is dangerous.Maybe because I am using 2 Philips 60/55 ,they draw more power than osram is my guess.In any long distance ride the battery completely exhausts itself.
seen this phenomenon thrice on weekend rides.
Last time was the height,first time I had to "dhakka-Start" R15
but was a piece of cake,only 10 feet my friend pushed and it started smoothly.
All in all good learning experience ,no great damage ,battery gets recharged after sometime.sigpic

Maybe he didnt use it long after that.
I have been using since 3 months now so maybe extended use causes it.sigpic

If a 3.5 ah battery can provide the power to ECU, 35watt HID & a 55watt bulb along with all other electrical stuffs like radiator fan etc in R15, then it is quite feasible for a 9 ah battery to provide power to a 55/60 watt bulb in my RTR. Am i right?Originally posted by kauria View PostJust want to know the detail spec of the R15 battery.
BTW what is the magneto spec for R15?sigpic

That is Japanese engineering. Santa had posted pics of the coil somewhere here and he was saying that the magneto is totally different aiding quick and efficient charging of the battery while keeping the weight to a minimum. So u can run all the mentioned things on a 9ah battery as long as ur charging it properly. Else it will be a case of spending more than what u earn!Originally posted by kauria View PostIf a 3.5 ah battery can provide the power to ECU, 35watt HID & a 55watt bulb along with all other electrical stuffs like radiator fan etc in R15, then it is quite feasible for a 9 ah battery to provide power to a 55/60 watt bulb in my RTR.

I don't have the saree guard and front number plate. I have stickered the no.on the front bumper. Have blue LEDs too. Never got caught by any cop. But this is Hyderabad! Cops stopped me before my vehicle was registered once though.

Any (NB or Philips night vision) works without any problems, i am using (Philips night vision)it for more than 3 months now..Originally posted by surbhit View PostGuys I was thinking of changing the high beam bulb to a higher wattage(60/55W) one. The 2 options are ONB or any 60/55W bulb used in cars. Which one should I go for ?
PS- I am not interested in white/blue lights.

Stock vs 60/55W(its on high beam)

Low beam
