Hi all,
I've just joined xBhp.

I own a 4 year old Honda Activahalogen bulb as fitted on the latest Activa and Aviator. Is it possible to do so? When I asked my Honda service centre, he simply said it was not possible.
Any ideas?


Thanks

It's definitely possible, though no idea about warranty issues.

So i plonked in an OSRAM NB in my RTR. I havent made any modification to either the coil or the wiring. Two days ago the pilot lamps (Leds) went kaput..after having them only for a couple of days. I had put the leds along with the NB and they were working fine until a couple of days ago. Now as i understand it, the system on the RTR can only deliver a max of 35w to the bulb anyways. Why would the LEDs go out? Do i need to add a relay or change the wiring? Or are the LEDs just really cheap in quality??...btw these are from JC road here in Bangalore.

did you change power to DC type ? because Leds require DC current .

no i didnt...like i said i havent touched the electrical system at all. the LEDs worked fine for about 2 days..then they went out the 3rd day.

hmmn...maybe i'll just have to get regular pilots then. I would like to convert the bike to DC but i have no idea who can do that for me here in bangalore...

And hows the NB working? Does it get bright enough? And what about dimming at low rpms?

@RedApple -- Required some info.. Which shop on J.C. Road did you pick the LEDs from? and whats the cost?

Thanks for the info in advance..

A small question here. Does fitting the ONB on the ZMa need any extra mods? like adding a relay or so? My setup is by default a DC electrical setup.
My ZMA also has the indicator buzzer. I dont know how much this consumes. I am under the impression that I will have to remove the Buzzer to reduce the load for the ONB's to do its job.

Its a straight fit to ZMA.

Don't worry about the buzzer. Leave everything as it is.

Thats great.. Now I need to find company with someone who is looking forward to buying ONB's in Bangalore.
