Hey what was the condition of the road and the make of it. Was it tar or concrete. Was there any amount of sand or dust on the road or was the road a lil wet by any chance or was it completely dry...???

i think it is a metal surface................even in chennai, ambal motors has such a place.....from where they bring down the serviced bikes.......its a slide from 1st floor to ground .....from where they take n bring back the bikes which are for service,they are made up of metal n they are oily too.......

by the way i've a blown neutral switch and they don't have it in stock... and will it be covered under warranty?

give me the rights of a city inspector and i will throw the orion guys out of the city and make them ride on a donkey, they have not only screwed my second R15 but they have also pissed me a lot.

hmm this is the story i would like to hear
BTW i am not sure I am not sure why orion sucks but my bike was screwed up by perfect rider, and Orion solved the problem. ofcourse i had to complain to Yamaha about this incident.

Friends and fellow R15 owners , this is regarding the engine oil for our R15. Till now most of us if not all have been using YAMALUBE 4-stroke motor oil(20W40 type SG) but i read it on Castol's motorcycling site that CASTROL POWER RS R4 5W -40 is good for Sports bikes, wanted to know how good it will be for our R15.
