any one used these plugs NGK IMR9C-9H ?

When I saw "What Spark Plug you are running on ?" I could not resist the urge to say:

"Hopefully, all 4 of them"

Good one :offtopic: ! ....maybe my next poll :biggrin:

From what i have been reading - it does not matter.

This link show how the difference in spark

P.S. Where did you get the relay? how much? I think I have seen a thread with info on sourcing the LEDs already, but the only place I know for the relay is Thurn...

the flasher i picked from eBay for about GBP 14 plus shipping.

Having replaced all the bulbs to LED, the signal was blinking faster than normal. I did try to fit the resistors across but didnt work. So i had ordered the LED flasher.

LED Blinker - Step1

Purchased a couple of connectors from the hardware store and used one set of old wiring.

LED Blinkers - Step 2

LED Blinkers - Step3

The problem was connecting the wiring to the existing harness. I tried using an old connector i had but didnt work so i bypassed and connected the wires directly to the harness

LED Blinkers - Step5

Finally looked like this.

LED Blinkers - Step4

Took an hour to get this done right but it worked.

HID are great. :biggrin:

Besides using less power (hence less strain on the battery) it much cleaner and bright. I think the colour of the light is a lot depends on personal preference.

My pre4fernece is about 4800 to 5000K...the light is a lot whiter. The blue ones hurts the eye and yellows looks really sad. Again this is my preference

I prefer the range 5K and 4K. I have fitted 4.8K - they are really very bright and white.

here is the range of the colors

Mine is an European version so has both Low and High beam. I have fitted the Philips model which works great. Came with 2 adaptors - one of them is to block the high beam to some extent so it does not bother the upcoming traffic - however not fitted those.

One more advantage of this is also it consumes half the power - i believe its about 35W and also works on lower voltages (7 ~ 12)

The day i got my bike ...the first 2 things i changed were...

1) the Headlight to HID

2) new tires..

HID are a good investment.

check if there is a lower Wattage bulb available

very very smart and shining :fing02:

hi Guys

Finally got the HID fitted on the bike. It took me about 3 to 4 hours to get it all fitter (finding the correct place, wiring routing, to see if it really works) but eventually got it going. I used a Philips car H4 bulb HID kit. It will come with 2 Ballast,2 Bulbs, 1 Relay wiring harness, Wire tags etc.

1) Remove the UPPER and LOWER COWL along with the meter panel

2) Disconnect the HEADLIGHTS, SIGNAL LIGHTS etc.

3) I fitter the BALLAST under the upper first with double side tape as its easy to take out incase the placement is wrong. Lucky i did that as i had stuck it too close to the SIDE COWL. (if i had screwed them in ...that would have been quite a mess)

4) Repeat the same on the Right side

5) Now fit the bulbs, I first tried fitting the bulbs first and then to the HEADLIGHT UNIT. Trust me thats very tough as its very difficult to put the lamp locks afterwards

So i took the bulb out of the HID socket and fitted the holder first. Lock the holder using the RETAINER.

Now fit the DUST COVER and then insert the bulb(s), this was much easier.

6) Mount the wiring harness

Since its all plastic i fitted the the relay and the wiring harness on the inside of the INNER PANEL. use the wire tags to hold all this together.

7) Connect the Wires (no images)

- Connect the Positive wire (red) to the battery

- Connect the Negative / ground (Black) to the chassis) - i used the horn bracket.

- Connect the wiring harness to the BALLAST.

- Connect the Bulbs to the BALLAST along with the Hi/lo socket.

- The harness also comes with a bulb SOCKET (female type) which is connect to the existing /origninal bulb SOCKET. This triggers the power, high and low

8) BALLAST location finalize

- once the location of the BALLAST has been finalized, drill holes on the UPPER COWL. Bolt the BALLASTS into place. I used match bolts like the one on the upper cowl.

8) Switch on to see if all is ok. (ususally is )

Lights getting warmed up

9) Fit all the cowls (had a tough time getting the UPPER and SIDE COWL, the rubber screws kept falling inside. (but finally eventually got there)

10) Adjust the beams

Lights fully warmed up

Also changed the Parking lights to LED

11) Total Cost : $180

You are done.
