  • Re: Random Questions regarding the RX series

    Hello @acs what is "diode rectifier" method can you pls explain, as iam also thinking of converting the my 6volt rx100 to 12volts, so what is the proper way of converting it to 12volts, should it be done by just changing the rr,flasher,battery, bulbs and battery to 12 volts.

      I thought [MENTION=6069]sriram[/MENTION] said your bike was 12v model.

        Yes he said that this model came in 12volts, but mine is 94 and have 6volts electricals(and the electricals sucks)the 12volts model came in 96, with a different graphics job, i haven't seen an 12volt bike with the same graphics as mine.

          [MENTION=49419]kusmaker[/MENTION] I responded based on the year of bike manufactured. If I recall correct you said it was 1995? Apologize if I had got it wrong. Infact 12v model came out from last quarter of 1995 itself. Okay let's focus converting to 12v. Hope you already aware of the process involved to convert to 12v.

            I will tell you what i know and then you can correct if you find that iam wrong, according to my knowledge, one should change the main coil plate, magnet, wiring, cdi,rr, flasher,bulbs,battery to12 volts, but most of the mechanics and electricians suggest in a different way, they suggest that there is no need to change magnet, cdi etc, instead just change the rr,flasher, bulbs,batteries and horn to 12volts as this process is far cheaper, seconly getting cdi and magnet assembly is a tough task.

              [MENTION=49419]kusmaker[/MENTION], as I said earlier, have not experimented much with electrical, but do know that CDI doesn't conduct current so as long as the sockets compatible is OK. RR unit experiment I haven't done so can't assure if that works but I heard this that RR unit change is enough to convert - 12v. Off course other compatible electrical components besides. [MENTION=39423]acs1207[/MENTION] sir , [MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION] sir can pitch in to divulge more in electrical environment.

                    Hello @acs as per your opinion stock rx 100 model coil gives output of 14v ac and diode rectifier(full wave) able to convert it to 14v dc unregulated .
                    Imo if the conditions are same as you explained above then it is relatively easier to convert it 12v dc (regulated) by simply putting a 12v regulator on it.

                    If the source voltage is anything above 12vdc(unregulated) then 12v regulator can give constant 12vdc.

                              To what i know is that 6 volt rx-100 generates 12.84 volts.
