Asked the service people to change the suspension setting, after that I didnt feel any pain..change your suspension setting if it is hard and try

I have done about 1.9kms.. suspension is pretty soft ,its still in stock setting though..

Does anybody here has a similar experience.?

dude whatever it is thats causing this pain, I suggest you start jogging

coz riding your bike less won't solve the problem(even if it is the cause). but na; I also have same extensive riding habits but no long term pains only the ones due to fatigue.

Interesting you made holes in ur clutch plate for what joy....And how has it made an increase in the power. This is the 1st time i have heard of this...

Yesterday a weird thing happened. I was supposed to give my bike for 3rd service today and was thinking of telling them to adjust the tuning toward more mileage when I got a mileage of 51kmpl! I am sure that for exactly 2.2 litres, the bike has run abt 112km. as I use the reserve to reserve method.

Now have decided not to adjust the tuning after all.

yamaha doesn't sell the emblems separately..you will have to replace the whole part for the sake of having the yamaha emblem..

still check out with your svc guy. maybe he can help.

+1. If they are the tuning fork holograms, you can get them, but the body panel stickers are not available separately. They come clear (lacquer) coated to the paint.
Mostly the person who made away with your sticker also wouldn't have been able to use it.
The same thing happened to my R15's left side panel sticker too, costed me Rs.575 to change it.
Really sad that such things happen to people like us who love their bikes so much.

You're wrong bro.... Yamaha does sell the emblems separately,..costs 20 rupees or something,...

some hooligans removed it from the R15 and i got new ones kept,..from service station itself

But the stickers u cannpt get them,..have to change the part!! yamaha emblems are available for sure

Oh, if its that one, you'll get it easily for about Rs.20 as nikhpaul has said.
But if they are the tank/other panel stickers, its not sold separately.
