    (Explanation in terms of fuel tank of R15 will be much appreciated.. )
    Upto the filler is where you see the fold of the inner part of tank and upto brim is when you can drink the petrol by dipping your tongue in it
    There's a little gap above the fold to accommodate the inflated petrol when it gets hot. So its not advisable to fill the tank to its brim.

        My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

        The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

            I have readjusted the rear shocks to the least stiff value...
            its fine you can vary without thinking too much
            Kingdom FAR FAR away is where I wanna be...
            But I can't find a road headed that way.

                              Hi All,

                              I noticed a weird thing today... on an empty stretch of road, my friend and I were speeding up rapidly and soon i came across some traffic, for which I had to slow down. Just before hitting the brakes, i looked at my speedo and it read 96. I was totally shocked coz it didnt feel like i was going that fast. I thought I had gone upto 75-ish, but the speedo reading took me by surprise. I asked my friend (who was sitting behind me) if he felt like we were beyond 90's. He said no, and that when the speedo crossed 80, it didnt at all feel like 80. I havnt tested whether the speedo reading was correct or not by comparing with another bike running in parallel.
                              Later on, when going slowly among bumper to bumper traffic, the speedo was reading 10 and the bike was hardly moving.

                              Can there be such a huge fault with the speedo reading? The thing is that it wasnt just me who felt this, my friend also felt the same thing. Has anyone else felt the same?

                              And this happened today only... the other night I was speeding on another empty stretch and when i touched 100, it did feel like it was 100....

                                ^ Check the speedo Wire from the wheel to console ... A Wire's breakage gives error speeds.
