Yippe kay aye!
I finish my 2 months with the bike so far

Officially clocked 5000KMs on the ODO.... Unofficially it should be about 6.5k KMS

My wobble problem was traced to be due to a faulty sprocket.... they will get it replaced...

BTW I saw a guy here with R15+K&N+Spitfire+Iridium and that things just ran...
Now theoritically unless the AFR is tweaked, the extra air and the extra flame wont help... (which the modder also agreed) but what he said is kinda funny-lame-and-brilliant at the same time...

He says that the extra Air that the K&N gets, is burned by the Spitfire and iridium combo... Now that bike did run much torquier, though it sounds like a fartbox ...
So is the analogy right, experts... guinea pigs... please reply!

I don't know whether you can really make out much of a difference in pickup in your R15 since it is very new, but yes, it will give you more even firing, so better throttle response as well. Please visit the NGK thread&company website for more info.

@All: Here is an R15 with golden rims.

Rims looks quite good ....
BTW...I'm planning for white rims....but what is the whole procedure involved it it..step by step..I mean some say paint, some say lacquering....some say powder coat..

Some details would be appreciated.

That gold colour is looking a lot better in photos... when seen directly it was looking yuck and hence I haven't shot any photos of it!

Why the difference? did you get your console changed?

How does a faulty sprocket explain the wobble problem? Did you get a satisfactory explanation? Pls share with us...

Yes, R15 with K&N sounds like a Fartbox. Not sure if anything else changes... Even with an Iridium plug. But yes, that guy does have a very creatively technical mind.

Logged into this part of the blog after ages! so how are the bikes which have done more than 11000 Kms performing? i have crossed this mark and have few issues with the disk plates and pads. Before every one starts giving me advise a short note: " i have got the disk plates changed for the first time and pads for the third time some 1 month back"

BTW, The tires of the bike looks like will list another 10 k kms.

Guys what is the company recommended CO level for R15?

I would shift to iridium in 3rd service coz the SS guys here are not found of cleaning the spark plug in any service.

The bike with golden rims is the same (i guess) which I saw at Pearl. Its true that its looks awful in real.

The throttle increases but engine doesnt survives in a long run. As told by a mech: He himself fitted a K&N (1060) into an R15 and later the owner wanted to remove it as the engine became rough. Then when he removed it, the engine sound never came back to normal.

EDIT:
I remember a guy posting that he was using "Foam Filters" for R15. I guess UniFoam. These filters are used in Dirt Bikes, mostly off roading where there is a lot of dust. He mentioned that he was getting a great performance+FE. But he never posted the results in long run.

Did you get your pollution check certificate? How much was the CO level?

My Mechanic promised to find it out for me but is yet to come back with the answer.

My bike has it at 0.27 but some others are on 0.10. The mechanic said 0.27 is still in the given margin but is higher than usual.

Yes I got it a few days ago, but the CO level was 1.24

Get it checked somewhere else... 1.24 is not acceptable under Euro III... so, u should not get a certificate too...

Refer the table:

biker boy · 04-15-2009, 04:16 PM

As per the pollution check certificate:

CO level is 0.03ppm
Allowed is 3.5ppm
