Lol, sure dude..soon!

Soon!

Well, writing is what keeps me away from making a DIY. Got too much overhead these days, my final year project, the yamaha webblog that I made(updating it is not easy..plus it helps me gain knowledge of Web Technologies, one of my curriculum subjects! ). Since you say even a rough one would be fine..will do it for you guys soon


And about Wurth chain lube, it costs around 650 or something from Wurth dealers. It's extremely penetrative compared to Motul, and I totally loved it. Even lasts through the usual rains and water splashes, waterwashes(company claimed to be splashproof). Wurth even has dry type chain lube for O-rings, but I preferred the wet type since my links need to be repaired first..

Guys, I have this strange problem, there is a rattling sound coming from the uppermost end of the exhaust. The SVC guys told me that there seems to be a small stone or something in the exhaust pipe (courtesy: my building kids), and I've been told that it may not be possible to remove it. I really need to get it out. Please help !

Hey......sheelpriye.....If you read my previous discussion on page no 1148.....you will understand what i am trying to say. I am only comparing the R15 and R125 (sold in uk) because i felt that if R15's engine put in to underpowered R125 chassis (that has 1355mm wheelbase) then it will be breeze to ride R15 but these guys did not understand the question properly and comparing 250R to R15 is no no no no.........

and Thank you very much for the Link.......you are the only one who replied rear wheel traction.............thanks once again........

Nilay

Hey....digislayer plz. read the previous discussion on page 1147, 1148 and the respond......

Nilay

Hey....parth u r unable to answer my Question........


as you said longer wheelbase R125 is underpowered, Thats why i am asking you what happen when comparing to 33bhp (250R) to 17 bhp (R15) to 15 bhp (R125).............

I ride My R15 mostly on twisty road with lots of Experiment and the i find that R15 is not matching up with my riding style or habit. So in regard of that i asked some help from knowledgeable Friends and they said only thing is to alter the wheelbase to some extent so that it can match with ur riding habit and then i search lot of things on net and i have come to know that R125 is selling in UK and then i saw a lot of review on YouTube and amazed that company like Yamaha selling the R15 is not that much of Internation standard. If you look at the R125 and you will noticed how well is fit and finish etc......

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.

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.

Edit--(after seeing another reply)
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?

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.

I've already read your posts before commenting. If you meant something other than what everyone here understood, maybe you could've framed your queries better.

If that's the case, maybe you should have opted for different framing of sentences. Anyways, as far as your query is concerned, the R15 is far superior in terms of handling and cornering. Big and bulky doesn't always mean better cornering. In fact, manufacturers try to keep the wheelbase as short as possible(within limits ofcourse) while keeping the swing-arm as long as possible. It is this balance of long swingarm and short wheelbase that gives you stability at corners and flickability on straights. Also, a shorter vehicle is always better at handling, due to the low center of gravity, and the R125 is taller than R15. If you compare the track videos of both the R15 and R125, you see people carrying more speeds on the R15 around the corner, than an R125. If you think the R15 is not suiting your riding-habit, it's the habit that needs to be changed..not the bike. You'd hate the R125's handling even more than what you're hating of the R15. If you're not satisfied with the R15's handling, nothing else will ever satiate you, except for the biggies.

Hi all, today I've bought my R15 (sunset red). I'm loving the bike more than I thought. It is the most costly bike in Bangladesh. It took 3,70,00 taka ($5286 US) with registration. Hope It is worth every single money.

I've had lots of bikes so I know the basic rules for first 1000km run. But R15 is my first racing type bike so are there any extra things that I should concern? Your suggestions and tips are most welcome.

@adnansanni :Congrats and welcome to the family

@Nilay; Brother this is the first time, i hearing someone complaining about R15's handling. I'm Surprised. I had been riding bikes for more than 10 years and had ridden a lot of bikes too. from my personal opinion i believe R15 is the best handling bike available in the market.It makes me smile always when i take the corners.. it's a feeling it gives to the rider.

To be frank if you are not satisfied with it, it may be due to different other reasons. May be you like more of a commuter type rides. but for R15 you have to adjust your style to match R15 standards. That may help change your opinion.

Just keep the revs below 5k rpm till 1000 kms and you'll be fine . Congrats for the bike, post some pics

Dude you need to change your riding style. Wheelbase designing isn't the game of a local welder.
