    Till now what i understood is something like this...
    Swap the RR unit, and replace the battery with the sufficient capacity...
    Is that all?
    Now the question is, will a bigger capacity battery fit into my bike and if yes, which battery is it exactly?

    Sorry for going slightly off topic
    I'm sure this will be helpful for other RTR owners who want to convert to DC without any hassles.
    in ac bikes coil output is not sufficient to power a 55w bulb , fz with full dc can handle it but rtr will struggle . swapping rr wont do much good if the coil is not producing enoigh current . apache also already has a 9amp battery so cant go any bigger n anyway it wont benifit much . to make rtr full dc u need to rewind coil and put a full wave/full dc rectifier .

    Watts = Voltage X Amperes.

    Hope this helps.

    I need some clarity on this.

    The Duke is - Expensive to "Own"
    Having clocked 16000KMs on the Ninja650 in <6months of ownership, I do not want to buy another "premium" product and end up at the mercy of PBK for both my bikes.

    The Impulse is Superb at places and boring in some, the RTR is like the old love that you keep going back to! So unless something radical happens I could go back to cheap thrills, which is BEST done by a RTR!

    This over the Impulse and the Duke200!

    happy?
    Really?

    I don't know if the comment was meant to be sarcastic or you really felt that way, but having owned an RTR before and still opting for the same seems like a no brainer to me. It's a brilliant city bike mind you but don't the other two awesome options entice you more? The newer RTR does seem to have lost out on it's novelty, but maybe that's just me saying it

    @Sayank : No offense but was there any need to compare "again" with pulsar? Lets keep the thread up to its name and minimum off topics
    i am not comparing it with pulsar,ok lets rephrase it for the sake of your better understanding.new rtr is priced close to old rtr abs,so new rtr is definitely pricey,and i guess i am definitely not going off-topic.

    Hope to get this done at SVC or I will get parts from spares shop and get it done outside.
    No I have DC convertors, need to get it full DC before any trip is planned. APE RR unit costs 1100INR here, plus 500 of rewinding and other stuffs. if you want I will PM you the threads which will help you converting RTR into DC

    New college going guys who wants to "show-off" will get this. We prefer to be called Classic RTR owners

    BTW even the showroom pics of the RTR can't win me over

    Actually im not sure what parts are supposed to be swapped for DC conversion... it would be nice if someone can tell

    New members of xBhp will buy ! As I see this is targeted for college going kids ! Working group will probably stay away from 160 for sure.
