Nothing as such... but at/after 10.5k RPM the rev limiter kicks in.

The NGK Iridium spark plug model no for R15 is CR8EIX , the NGK G Power(platinum) model no is CR8EGP and the stock spark plug model no is CR8E.
I am using G Power which costs 140Rs and there is no noticeable difference in performance only the engine is a bit smoother than before. The Iridium plugs cost 700Rs+ and should be used with spitfire cable to get the best out of them.

Because I did, and obviously I said no! Just a few minutes back I recieved a call from the dealer whom I serviced it from and his voice was very oily, asking me what the problem was. I told him about the careless service, and the mechs forget to replace fairing screws for which I had to do round trips to the svc just to get some damn screws back in to stop the noise/vibration. He said bring your bike either today or tomorrow and we'll look at all the points where you felt our service was lacking. He needs to submit a satisfaction form signed by me, to Yamaha or they'll do some more arm twisting. So people who are utterly dissattisfied with service, can actually get things done this way!

Yes, I got one message two months ago after my 2nd service. I replied to that sender with some big text like with all the problems I got. Very soon I got another message saying "please reply with Yes or No"

. I did reply again saying big "NO". No call or response from the SC so far

And according to what they say,
"Your electronically fuel-injected motorcycle/ATV can now boast improved drivability and more power with the Two Brothers Racing “Juice Box™” fuel controller. The Juice Box™ features simple plug and play installation and quick and easy adjustment. No need for computers and complex maps, just use the integrated buttons & LED display. Uses carburetor tuning logic for easy to understand fuel adjustments. If you plan to modify your vehicle then our Juice Box™ is a must. This easy-to-use control unit plugs directly into the OEM wiring harness between the stock ECU and fuel injectors providing precise control of the engine’s fuel management system."

And, the link that I previously posted is an official PlanetDSG website, so I don't see it being a speculation/rumour

Well, the busa is parked most o' d time, isn't it?

I've seen it being used on furioussphinx's P200, and also my friend's FZ16. Both o' them started yellowin after some time..no idea if it's cos of the sunlight or if is cos of dirt.

Currently they've juice box for R1 and Busa costs 17k, i'm not sure if they're gonna launch something for R15 as they seem to have something only for the litre class bikes.....

Could you please throw some light on "Spitfire cable". Is it commonly available at stores?
The IX series is the high performance series by NGK.

The DSG guys have publicly said, on their website, that JB (Juice Box) for R15 is under development. Hope they manage to get a proper deal (imports) with TW (Two Brothers).

NGK GPower's MRP is Rs 130. That of Iridium IX is Rs 550. I got my Iridium at Rs 475. I am not sure how we're gonna setup spitfire cables for R15... atleast, hope they are available... The spark plug cable doesn't come from coil but comes from the ECU and then via a High Tension booster (yes, this is not the correct word)...

Crossed 14K.

Exhaust note changes to a deeper sound as the engine opens up... generally hapens around 5-6K KMs.

Touring shows on the fairing... minor sounds from fairing creep in at certain RPM's. I guess it is mostly the bubble screen - when I put my hand on it most of the noise subsides.

There is a clutch bell noise that has become common in some R15's... Again nothing that alerts you but you'd know that this noise exists.

Performance.... no difference. Just rocks.

I dont really think that we have seen any R15s with major mods so far on xbhp. Last week I saw this blue R15 with a wider tyre & minus the mud guard, spoke to the owner about it. He told me that he had got a MRF 110 fitted on the rear & that he had raised the height of the rear end of the bike. Initially I thought it looked slightly taller but I put it down to the visual effect of the resized rear tyre. Looked different overall.
