Re: queries regarding yamaha r15 mods

thank you blackthorn for the quick approval (: Guys do we need to change the ECU mappings if we change to full exhaust systems on r15.Thanks,Shailesh

Re: queries regarding yamaha r15 mods

Bro, there are so many threads on the same lines although not a dedicated thread only for R15 mods. But you can pretty much get what you seek, from those threads. Full exhaust system coupled with a free flow aftermarket performance filter will fetch a slight bump ~1/2 bhp. ECU remapping isn't mandatory but advised for a flawless performance.

Do check the forums for relevant answers.
All the best!

Re: queries regarding yamaha r15 mods

Hey, As you are already aware MODs are expensive and not reliable as stock.. I mean the reliability is unpredictable and every member has fluctuating reliability experience, so nobody can vouch for reliable MODs.
Since u are planning to keep it long I suggest stay stock.. Mods need constant attention and care and its almost a never ending journey. You are most likely not going to stop with the first set of MODs. Your need for more power is not going to end with ~2 bhp increase.
If we don't have high power 2 wheeler in market, then we have no choice other than MODs. We have reasonably priced rides in market which will prove to be less expensive than MODs.

Suggest you check out some new launches like RC and then decide

I have quite a lot of MODS done by Race concepts, So far I did not have a Major breakdown or reliability issues. I had to visit race concepts quite few times to fine tune the ECU when I moved from Chennai to Bangalore and for other minimal maintenance works. I run in fully synthetic motul oil and will change it any time after 2K kms. I mix petrol with 97 Octane and normal petrol whenever I fill her up.
My MODS have run close to 10 K in over the period of 2 years.I am currently not riding for past 3 months as I am out of station. I will get to use it only after 6 months. The list of MODs done in my ride is as below.

180cc bigbore.
Bigger head and valves.
Highlift cam.
Race dynamics ECU.
Bigger throttle body.
Valve springs and clutch springs.
Very high free flow simota airfilter.
Close ratio gear box(3,4,5 and 6) - (1 year old).
Free flow stainless steel exhaust (1 year old).
front and rear petal discs with steel braided lines.
Lightweight Chain and rear sproket.
Front sproket
