    there is an overwhelming amount electric energy needed and teh battery just about manages to cope with it..adding more stuff to it wud definately push it over the edge...
    better to let the stupid bas***** tuch her in daylight than leave her alone at night becoz she wont start as the battery wears out..
    Problem is that such stupid "bas***ds" in my city leave scratches on the bikes. And then our hearts cry from within, obviously as bikers we all are ...

    I have one installed on my P180 - working fine! It's Company - "Policeman" (Chinese)

    @ Reuterian:     Right, infact from Ninja 250 to the ZZR 1400s, their rear discs are single only, in around 230 - 260mm size or something ... Not beyond that, how much ever the displacement increases ...

      yes, the security system first of all is not RECOMMENDED!!! secondly the R15 battery is too weak to handle tis sooner or later you will face some problem. Thirdly, do not tamper the factory settings (wiring etc.), you will meet thousand people here who wld give you the same advise.
      I wanted a security system for long, & I've been thinking about it a lot. One of the crazy ideas that came to me was: Is there a possibility of installing security system, sourced with solar? Does anybody know, how big panels need to be to generate required power? If they are not huge & can be fitted on bike somwhere (like rare fins or something), can it be done?
      And God said, "Let there be light" and there was HID Kit. And God saw that the light was good;

        nope, solar powered option is out since the panel required would be at least half a 15x9 cms,
        its much more resource consuming than a solar powered calcy, since it has an active circuit which can sense radio signals from your remote , or anything being inserted in the keyhole, plus the touch sensitive alarm.

        forget the battery drain, such a system isnt recommended , i had to remove mine it started behaving oddly (and dangerously ) and has blown a fuse once.

        plus cutting the wires, rejoining with new ones, only a good mechanic wont botch the electricals up.

        invest in a wheel lock or a thick chain, far better.

          Is the size required really that small? because, I know, where I'm going to fit those 135cm^2. You might think I'm a fool, but Dude, if you know anybody who can design a system that works on that size of panel, please forward me the contact-info. Professional circuit-designer to a 3rd year BE student... Anybody with right kind of brain, & I am game for this scheme.

            install a solar panel on a bike
            r u sure it it for security systems..trust me you leave n the market and come bak the solar panel will be long gone..and u cant hide the panel anywhere..

As far as rear is concerned..while braking it pulls off all the wieght from the rear tyre making it easier for it to loose grip.
              if the same brake (used at rear wheel)is used on the front wheel it will perform better due to its location.
              bro the rear always has less bite. and ideally the rear brake should never lock the wheel easily.

              BTW when you apply the rear brakes the weight is transferred to the rear and that's why the front becomes light which is not an ideal situation coz in such a situation even the front becomes susceptible to locking with the least amount of pressure on the brakelever.

              bikes have bigger and stronger brakes upfront. when you apply the front the weight of the bike moves forward and compresses the front fork which makes the rear light in such a situation if you apply the rear the tendency for the rear to get lock is very high so manufacturers all over the world makes the rear smaller and with less bite.some superbike instructors even go to the extent of limiting the travel of the rear brake lever to prevent it from locking.

              source :Sports riding technique by Nick Ienatsch (former instructor at kenny roberts school)

              i quote his saying for the rear brake "LESS IS MORE"
              " if WRONG is a T-shirt ; then wearing it inside out doesn't make it RIGHT "

                  No way... in the case of lamps... High power battery ?? may be...

                    Hey!! I saw a 10-day old and just 300odd kms old R-15,,and it was kitted up with H.I.D. lamps,,and after i enquired he said it was pretty simple to add the kit..and nothing extra...
                    However Me thinking over what is going with its battery can it support,cos many of the zma owners had to take it offf,cos it drained their batteries.. and also i tried doing a demo of it...
                    Myyy poooor Discover Almost died...and i could see that it was not providing the output that it should be.. howeverrr it was giving a Fantastic output in R-15...

                    Can some one throw some light on the above scenario...

                      Didnt you check.... with the highbeam ON and honking horn...?? you can observe the light going dim and coming back again. It would definitely... drain the battery.


                      Is it true that any bike's battery would get charged only after 3k rpm ?? How true is it ?

                      It its true... A Good 1 hr of heavily stop and go traffic with HID in highbeam would definelty take a toll on the battery.

                        See the stock lamps are 35W, I guess even the HID lamps are 35W. So actually there's nothing like 'HID drains your battery'. But if incorrectly installed, it can lead to battery drainage.

                        But then HID on a multi-reflector .....Bad Idea!

                          "you can observe the light going dim and coming back again."- its the same like bajaj chetak scooter...tht we had earlier...
                          its very sad that we will not have HIDs..but a high powered battery will give life to the bike.

                                not only the HIDs on multi reflector, but if you fix a projector,the whole set get changed...even the fiber works on the fairings.but have you heard anything about this buddy?
