Nitin - Why're you struck to the old type of bulbs? I thought you should be using the 90/100 kit; worst case, atleast use the modern day H4 bulb type holder & get a 35/35 halogen bulb. Though you might've to groove the doom a little, its worth doing it.

**NitinGirish** · 03-10-2012, 12:04 AM

Where do I find the holder for it?

Grooving the headlamp assy may turn out to be tricky if not done properly. I don't want to risk moisture/dust getting in. Or bulb rattling when I go over a pot-hole.

I do have a 35/35 bulb with me though. My Dad said it was being used by him. No idea what kind of holder+jugaad was done to accomodate this. Didn't notice it. This was before the rebuild.

At the moment pretty low on Vitamin M man. Thats why no 90/100 kit. Besides, I might not keep this bike with me for more than three years. So no point in spending too much from this point on.

Nothing to worry; I've had this grooved & run last monsoon in Chennai

Ummm...its simply plug & play; remove the existing headlamp wiring; plonk this one & then you're set to go. Call me if you're struck; the color code mapping can be tricky, but, not difficult.

Doh!!! Rs 35 for the holder; bulb you've it anyway; reflector is sufficient or use Mazda's which is not more than Rs 150

Nitin, revert on your stock CDI untill you sort all your wiring stuff. Once you're sure everything works good, reconnect the RDD CDI and install a fuse between the long brown +12v wire and the bikes harness . Tip- Always double check all the connections and connect the brown wire the last. keep the ignition S/W off all this time.

I was talking about 90/100 kit. Not this one

Point noted. I prolly get this done once my magnet & coil plate installation issue is sorted out.

There were no wiring issues Nitesh. Everything was running fine on electrical front so far (2300kms).

There seems to be an issue with the installation. Like Ron and other members have pointed out, the magnet maybe rubbing on the lighting coil. I will get this checked tomorrow. Because even if I have to revert to stock CDI, I will have to get the magneto assembly opened to revert to stock timing. If I have to open the magneto assembly might as well fix the issue is what I am thinking.

Well...ok...then...check out Sanjith's thread where he got the coil wound up like less than 1K or so. Wouldn't that be cool?

**NitinGirish** · 03-11-2012, 07:20 PM

Problems sorted

I didn't understand the problem description though

A wire from lighting coil was grounded

is what the installer told me.

Noise was coming from the tank. The rubber bushes on the tank don't sit in the slots of the chassis properly. It was like this from day1 though. It was mounted a little differently today (trying to make the best fit on both the sides) and the noise is gone

Most importantly, drum was not rubbing any of the coils so I am damn happy

**NitinGirish** · 04-21-2012, 06:39 PM

Finally got my RC card

These guys seemed to have screwed up the owner serial number. We are the second owner but RC says 1st

Whatever. I hope it doesn't affect while taking insurance.

Staying on the topic of insurance, it has expired. Any suggestions on taking third party/comphrensive? For a bike this old third party should suffice right? Any input is much appreciated.

Comprehensive is denied for vehicles more than 7 years old unless it has stayed in comprehensive all the years without a break; Private insurance companies do not deal with third party insurance, atleast, IFCO Tokio doesn't.

Best bet here is with nationalized insurance company like New India Assurance etc.

I bet you know, but for the unprivileged...
Comprehensive helps to cover the damages/theft for the vehicle & deal with the third party, if any, involved in the accident

Third party insurance DOES NOT cover the damages/theft for the vehicle, but only takes care of the third party who threatens you to pull to court.

Thanks Ganesh. The previous insurance (third party only) is with Oriental. Will try them sometime in 1st week of May. Its going to be a hassle taking the bike to the insurance office since the policy has already expired in Feb

Well...not much I guess; now that your policy is expired you've choice to take from whichever insurance company you want to.

Procedure is...
- Carry original, RC, license & tax token & a photocopy of each one of them
- Tell the agent/May I help you desk that you need to buy a new insurance for so & so vehicle
- The inspecting officer comes down to take the pencil mark print of your vehicle's frame & engine number to see if it matches with RC
- Once done, hand over the photocopies to them
- Then the procedure is normal, they say the premium amount, pay it by cash/cheque
- Collect the receipt for the premium, followed by the insurance copy

**SriramEfunds** · 04-21-2012, 11:52 PM

If at all going back to Oriental Insurance, carry the expired copy of the insurance if available. Might help them to key the policy number in their system within half hour's time and pull up the details on the screen.

Along with what you're carrying also make a point to carry the bikes' Pollution Certificate as they had asked me when i went for renewing my Insurance. Although exactly don't know what that might be any use to them, but it's just better.

Ram:- I thought of mentioning it. How it works is like, while you do the name transfer, RTO expects clean chit for the bike. So they demand, all the docs, RC original, Transfer forms, Insurance Upto date and PUC Certification. Only then they proceed to do the name change on the RC Book.

Insurance Company comes in to play only after the endorsements were made on the RC book. They will write an insurance only based on the RC Book owner's name and address given. PUC is irrelevant and they did not asked me in my recent acquisition. A copy of the PUC Certification in hand should help just in case.

Planning to go back to them. Only problem is they are off on Saturdays

Its either them or Bajaj Allianz. Just for the heck of it, used their online quote feature, the IDV of the bike came upto 14k

Anyways, I I've decided to go for third party only.

Need to get this done too. Whether insurance guys asks or not, cops do. So yup, will get this one done too.

These guys have a funny way of working. They ask you for an NOC while coming from a different state. On top of that, they write to the concerned RTO and wait for thirty days. Within thirty days the previous state has to give clean chit. If they don't respond "Maunam Sammati Lakshnam"

It is a completely pointless process. If you are going to write on your own, why do you want ME to get an NOC while coming? And how can they assume if nothing is heard from the previous state RTO, everything is fine with your bike? Ridiculous

Either do it properly or don't do it at all.
