Hi Srinath,
I don't think there is any improvement. But I thought the lighting is sufficient. Liked the dual horn though...

R15 v2's company claimed/ARAI claimed average fig. is 46kmpl while those of v1 were 50kmpl. So in real world 35 kmpl should be expected, i guess.

Hello guys I paid the full amount for the Bike today.
I'll be getting my black r15 tomorrow evening.
Please tell me or point me to a good PDI that I should perform before delivery.
Thanks.

Now you are real lucky ..... And so are we ... The sooner the bike comes the faster we can get reviews ..... (just kiddin) anyways I guess the PDI would be done by the them before delivery or else the usual brake free play, all electricals, etc..etc.. But am guessing Yamaha would have the best inspection done .... So good luck .... And anxiously waiting for the first review ... hehehe

Maybe I was hoping too much but was wishing the next version of R15 came with complete projector kits

A larger rubber at the rear and slight increase in weight seems to have caused the drop but its still quite descent for the performance gain.
