I got a budget charger from simlim which cost me ard 20+ to 30+, can't remember the exact figures. It's a 1A, 12V charger. Decent enough to charge my batt once in a while. Comes with cut-off function when the batt is fully charged too.

 

It's from a shop facing the escalator in basement that sells mainly batteries.

reasonable price, definitely will check this one out. thanx a lot man.

 

sorry to hear bout ur loss. immature 19yr old thieving off other's bikes is one thing, but got class2 license and bike still display such immaturity and lack of morals is dam shameful.

alamak, leceh lah bang..... why buy a honda if i have to do these things

What I meant is.

When you encounter this problem again (flat battery) try not to use the headlight cause it will drain out more current and the retifier need to work harder.

As you can go and recharge or change the battery.

You can always make a headlight switch. Will only cost you less than 10bucks. If I was you, I'd do it cos your home & work-place is very near, saves the battery dey. And for battery to get fully charged up, you have to ride above 4000RPM.

Have anyone heard of Diamond Vision?

Kori have been using it on his F4i. With all the cloudy condition on our battery and charging system do any bro here have any feedback on the application of DV on the RR?

[mechwira]

thanx for all the advice, will keep them in mind. headlight switch for less than ten bucks quite an idea, but got legality issues to consider....

the stock headlights are more than bright enuff for any application, including riding down across the causeway at nigth along roads without streetlamps. most of us change to white light for the look and not for any requirement for better projection than the stock lights

 

100kmh, depends wat gear u choose to go at. the redline is at 13.5k rpm and u can hit 100kmh in first gear at 11k rpm around there. in 6th gear 100kmh ur only at bout 6k rpm. i kind of like cruising in 110kmh in 4th gear at 9k rpm, dam shiok drive from the engine though obviously u burn more petrol.

 

the bike is hot, but bearable once u get used to it. u wont end up hating it or anything. even the pillion rider wont get hot buns form the underseat exhaust, tho obviousy shdn itchy finger touch the exhaust pipe or heat protector like my dad did

 

 

 

 

btw, i've got 'diamond vision' but not philips brand. its got the same wattage rating as the stock lights. my batt probs started long after i installed them, so i dun think its any issue.

once upon a time, i rode my phantom out at 10am in the morning, bright sunshine. so bright i didn notice i forgot to switch on my headlights. a kindly uncle all in white stopped me and politely asked me to switch it on. after issuing me a $30 fine. felt dam stupid on such a bright sunny day fined for not switching on headlights.

 

and thats not yet about illegal modification to enable switching off headlights.

 

but yah its a good idea. wanna make it compulsory to on headlight all the time dun have to go until must make sure cannot switch off totally wat, the idiots.

[hockie69]

phill - at 100km/hr,my techo reads 5.25K RPM (had RT w grounding install & using FP-60)

 

ella - sportb1ke & i using philips DV.so far so good.cos the watt is still the same as stock(which is philip also)

 

Mechwira - just took a few pic of the batt charger i mention in early post.

*forgive my crappy phone cam.

 

got two mode of charging.

 

Normal - 1hr from total flat to "startable" conditon.(then de bike take over the charging)

 

High - 4hours from total flat to "FuLL".

 

*as for the headlamp switch.no choice 1.....use at own risk.but i still believe during cold start,dun need headlamp wat....waste power nia.

illegal modification to enable switching off headlights.

 

Headlight switch..............

Main purpose

Easier and lighter cranking up the engine.

You can hear the different cranking sound with and without headlight

Is LEGAL

 

BUT after the engine start, the switch become ILLEGAL.

eh? really ah? did i misunderstand the law?

 

i tot the law says motorcycles must "disable the ability to turn off the headlights, and any modifications to allow the headlights to be turned off is illegal", something like that?

[mechwira]

taken from LTA site:

 

Disabling of Automatic headlamp switch-on function on motorcycles

 

When motorcycles are in use, their headlamps must be switched on at all times. This is to make the motorcycles more conspicuous to all road users thus enhancing the safety of the motorcyclists.

 

Motorcycles registered in Singapore on or after 1st November 1997 must be equipped with an automatic headlamp switch-on function to comply with the above requirement.

 

Disabling of this function is not allowed.

 

wouldn this technically mean installing a headlight switch is illegal?

 

putting aside the issue of "dun dare then dun do" for a moment.

[Shark]

Thats just another point to cover up LTA's rules. Like for instance, the mud-flap. Be honest, do you see anyone with riding a sportsbike with a mud-flap thats really as long till it reaches half the tires?

 

Same goes to their 'Version' of "Motorcycles registered in Singapore on or after 1st November 1997 must be equipped with an automatic headlamp switch-on function to comply with the above requirement". Most bikes still come with a switch. During preliminary inspection to approve the model, they super-glue the switch so it stays permantly on. So out of maybe 500 units, maybe only 1 unit has all the funny-funny things.
