and Thank you very much for the Link.......you are the only one who replied rear wheel traction.............thanks once again........
Hi Nilay!
It is a nigh impossible task(lengthening the swingarm) and IIRC the price of R125 is somewhere in the vicinity of 2L.

The R15 is a very stable Motorcycle, maybe barring cross-winds, but thats to it. How many kms have you ridden? Take the R15 to a good highway ride which has twisties, enjoy your ride, come back & share your experience.

If you look at the R125 and you will noticed how well is fit and finish etc......
Forget what your friends are saying or better ask them how to do it and if they start experimenting... well, tough luck.
What experiments/riding style/habit are you talking about? Which Motorcycle do you feel corners even half as decent as the R15 in India?

Also the Specific Output of R125 is aroun 120 ps/liter and R15 has around 113 ps/liter..........So even the Power efficiency of R125 is better that the R15.
It weighs less & produces more power, but it doesn't point out to higher top-end or acceleration, you may 'you tube' R125 & R15 top speed runs & check them out.

Ps.--You may multi-quote & reply to as many guys as you want in one go.
