    [QUOTE=Srinivas sr143sr;1148264]hello Art,

    many such methods were tried and many of them failed. please go through all pages. Pavanchirmade's bikes was set on fire due to parallel charging (As far as i remember). I kindly advise you not to attempt such methods and waste your time and money.


    i am also not sure how much time will your AC BCU will handle the DC current. BCU is the most prone part for failure in the whole vehicle. Slightest voltage/anything change will leads to fail. Be prepared for surprises...!!!!

    There a lot of stories in that thread.. dozens of rr's and BCU failure stories...!! Please go through each and every page before trying anything...!!!!

    Never try parallel charging..!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Either you go for complete DC or leave it as it is...!!! Either go for APE RR or UG4 RR if you are going for DC..!!!

    buddy I was just the suggesting the circuit.....my bike's BCU is already in suspect zone....randomly the horns keep honking continuously...nowadays when I turn handle right the digi-console keeps restarting and trips reset to zero. The RR shows no charging current but the head light are lighting...Earlier the headlight was not lighting so i just connected a wire to the yellow wire of RR to start the lights....nothing more than that....electricals awaits checking at SVC....As of now battery is charged externally.

    Re: Convert AC/DC bike to ALL DC.

    Couple of days ago my pulsar's (150ug3) RR went bad...i was left with no lights, speedo, horns etc....RR was shorting the battery current so i diconnected it by unplugging its socket. I am using Exide chloride 7AH UPS battery....I took the battery out and charged it using my 4AMP external charger, meanwhile I was going through these threads carefully and was also analyzing ug3 circuit closely. Finally I convinced myself to experiment DC conversion on my bike. So once again connected the charged battery. As RR was unplugged so i connected a high gauzewire from +ve terminal of the battery to yellow wire of the socket going to headlight. Every thing lit again and my bike was in DC mode but with no charging. The "EUREKA" moment was when i cranked the bike using self, engine came to life in one attempt. NO BCU BYPASS WAS DONE...VOILA....restarted using kick this time again the engine roared...went for 58kms long trip at night without any problem except battery got discharged after running 20-25 mins....the battery is around 3 yrs old so its ok. daily i charge the battery at night using external charger and plug it back in the morning....searching for APE RR in scrap shops..as i love to do JUGGAD

    An idea is oozing out of my mind...How about using both charging and lighting coils to charge the battery but using this circuit? I dont know whether the regulator part of RR will work with DC at its input, as i dont have any proper RR circuit to analyze...if RR supports DC then this circuit can boost charging in stock condition...and can also be converted to full wave after ungrounding the coils in the stator...so electronic gurus kindly throw some light

    Re: Convert AC/DC bike to ALL DC.

    Hi All!

    I am planning to covert my GS150R to full DC using Pulsar UG4 RR. Pulsar UG4 RR is a full DC bike and its RR should do the job as I plan to use 35W headlamp. I am posting a pic of the RR. Could anyone please let me know which two wires go to the +ve and -ve terminal of the batter and which two to the ignition coil. There are four wires: 1. Blue-white 2. Blue-white 3. Black-yellow 4. White.

    I will deeply appreciate the help/assistance.

    Sorry it was long back. I only remember i used ape three wheelers RR. Winding and installation was done by the mech.
    Search this thread for xbhp handle nanotechnology.
    He should be able to advise you.

    Also take a look here : http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...g-hid-etc.html

    which gauge copper wire is to select for rewinding? how much turns on each coil.?
    any one from Mumbai or around has done it in their hunk?
    i want to do everything on my own but under supervision of experienced person.
    I got coil rewinding for my RTR from a mech in andheri east.
