Well, most of you here don,t know, but the right side bulb also supports low beam, i.e. there is a low beam filament in it WHICH NEVER lights up because it isn't connected at all. If you switch to HIGH beam, the second filament lights up, but the first is untouched. I remember reading somewhere in the manual about how to activate both the beams.

    Coming to battery life, I can safely say it DOESN'T get affected. I've been running on this setup without any issues. Superbikes have this kind of a single side low beam which is always on. The R15 kind of copies that look. I didn't know about that and the very first day got both the bulbs activated for low beam Lighting is better

    I didn't know that. Can you post pics of the wiring. Also can some pics on the lighting comparisn btw your and a factory setting r15 side by side would be great.

    That person who does make a guide will get immortality credits from us all... muah!
    Change the immortality credits to "free petrol for life" and I'l find every damn thing and write it up :P




    @ All: Anyone been using irridium/NGK sprakplugs ? any benefits from the stock?

    how long before the stock needs a replacement? (Mine is at 4.5k and 5 months)

      not using one though, read posts by those who have, they say don't expect any noticeable change except an added refinement and lower misfiring at higher rpms..
      get it changed if you feel like! it won't worsen anything for sure
      after monday and tuesday, even the calendar says WTF!!

            have done almost 11k kms on my R15. Installed a K&N RC1060 Air-Filter the other day. Slight bump in low-mid range torque, almost not noticeable. Sound is good fun.

            Got one question, the mech left the air-box lid open. He said "I've installed K&N on many R15's saaar. Dont put the lid on, could damage the engine" Other R15'ers with k&N installed, please elaborate on your setups.

            P.S. - I paid Rs.1890/- for the filter(MRP).
            Me installed from SVC for 2000rs mine lid is also left opened and one more thing they holed the hose pipe where K'N is connected. 2 pipes which are connected there which goes to engine don't know why? and fuel mixture they did not touched they said its not needed.

                Keeping the high-low switch in the middle lights up the second filament on the right beam. That said, when I was wiring up my HIDs for fun sake I got either of the beams to work at a particular time. I.e. In high mode only the right would work and with the pass switch both L-R together and otherwise in Low only left, just as stock

                LEDs are good on the bike. Consume less power than stock pilots. I had two pairs which both died and now back on stock pilots.

                  Will get them if and when the stock plug would need a change. Thanks for the reply.

                  Yeh kya drama hai bhai

                  LEDs are good on the bike. Consume less power than stock pilots. I had two pairs which both died and now back on stock pilots.
                  Hmm how much power do the stock pilot bulbs use? I think it's 5w each,correct me if I'm wrong. And how much do the yamaha accessory pilot LED use?





                  @ All : Some random guy said to me that my bike's chain was loose. I checked and there's a slack of around 1-1.5 cm between the upward-most and the downward most point on the middle of the chain. Is it too loose?

                    1-1.5 cm is absolutely fine
                    Guys I'm getting a weird sound from my chain (or Front sprocket area). It's not the sound that comes from a badly lubed chain. It's kindof periodic "tak-tak" sound. And the frequency of the sound increases with speed. I've even checked the chain for jammed links but there were none.
                    An one more thing this sound comes only when I'm accelerating.

                      PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me how you did that! This is exactly what I wanted to do! I have two HIDs too and when both light up, the oncoming traffic gets blinded and everyone is dipping, which is fun at first and then starts to get annoying. Besides, two HIDs starting up at the same time consumes shitloads of battery! HIDs have a high start-up voltage.

                      Please! Can you tell me how you rewired your lights so that
                      1. Only left glows in low
                      2. Only right glows in high
                      3. Both glow when you press the ''flasher'' button

                      I would be greatly thankful to you!
                      D'oh!

                        ^^ you had the yamaha ones??if yes then how much did they cost??

                        @parth, yes the stock pilots consume 5W each..

                            like u guys even i started using my bike's low beam during the day ... its been kinda cloudy all day so i thought i would give it go but it gets so irritating when people constantly tell u that your lights are on! i had 5-6 people indicating that to me in just 5 kms!

                            starting the headlight in bright day-light seems to be berserk, people don't understand the relevance very well, neither do i..
                            when its sunny, i don't start the lights..
                            but i make it a 100% point that i start the low beam when its raining or when its cloudy/dark...and so should others..
                            learn the art of ignoring, my friend..
                            sure!
                            i need to learn that fast!

                            thanks a lot bro! ... even i had gone to the svc a week ago when i had to get my no. plate and asked the mechanic to do the settings ... he told me to wait for a couple of servicings and do it later on as it voids the warranty.

                            @ All
                            So should i or should i not make the headlight adjustments in my bike so as to make both the headlights work on the low beam ??
