go for K&N R-1100 and do upjetting .. that is .. change your main jet to 20 digits higher number jet .. and as you have changed tyre size .. you can do sprocketing work to get your top speed back

120 and 150 tyres on a R 15 .
what were you thinking ? I doubt your bike can reach even 120 .
Theres not much you can do to increase perf. of an R 15.

dude what in the world struck your mind to f@#* your bike like that??......i bet your bike doesnt even do 120kmph..leave apart 130.....plus you have been stressing your engine way too much....immediately revert back to the old stock tyres..though i feel the damage has already been done to the swing arms,forks and the performance.....Yamaha is speculated to be coming out with performnce upgrades soon..so hold your horses and look out for them...

thats the funniest thing i have ever heard about an R-15......upjetting,sprocketing and what not ...i would really request you not to give any wrong guidance to anybody..

MAXI, dude, in short, you have screwed up your R15's handling & performance. At least, don't touch the engine. As suggested, you may want to go with the performance upgrade that Yamaha is supposed to come up with.

Also, please do not post in all caps and those occasional short form words. Thanks you

information from varied sources indicates that they are working on it for sure... but then, details like what would be given out, how much it costs, whether it would be available for everyone or not, when it would be available, etc can only be speculated until there is an official announcement.
