  • R15 has an engine guard inside, the Ninja does not.
    If you are talking about the underbody cowl, that is a different thing.

    • OK, refer to the arrows in the attachment. That's what I was talking about. The black thing with Yamaha written on it. Thanks for linking me to the owner of the white FZ... I have seen his youtube vids.

          • Also guys I am having a 60W Philips bulb. Let me know if anyone of you from Mumbai is interested in buying it.

            I moved to stock as is got both my headlights on (by changing the electricals). It would be a load on the battery if I used 60W. Thats why I want to give it.

              High just wanted to reconfirm Will it drain the battery out sooner than the normal 35 watt?? I guess the rating is higher so the power consumption will be more. I guess i have answered my own question but still want a general opinion.

              BTW i my bike's gear sometimes gets stuck on neutral and refuses to go down to 1st. So i have to first pull the bike on 2nd and then when i downshift the bike can hit 1st. Is the common or normal??

                some of the xbhpians have been using a 55w halogen from the past 1-2 year and havent faced any problems regarding draining of battery...

                no the downshift problem is not normal....

                  • Just got the bike back... looks good as new

                    Unfortunately the cleaning also made me notice my front rim is bent. I immediately checked for leaks and luckily there don't appear to be any. All that I feel is a small drop in ride quality. Should I get the wheel replaced (Showroom guys say 1k for the wheel, local dealers say 3k, parts catalogue says Rs 1944) or leave as is?
