    Not decided on the color. Howz the fiery red?? I dont see anyone in the forum who has bought fiery red..

    I have 50th Anniversary LE White and I love it. The White/Red combination is very fresh and sporty. Go for it. It will be exclusive but I agree, the parts will take longer to acquire and may even cost more. You gotta take care of it really well and avoid accidents.

    Take a look at black too. Although, I personally feel it would look better with a little more white/gold/silver. R15 V1 black was perfect(Black with Gold and Black with White).

    Here are some pictures of my baby R.

      The last two mentioned are based in pune, if you are riding down then go for it. Also i believe that you should try the riding gear in regards to size and fitting, they should be snug fit. So going for PRS and Bachoo motors will be advisable. If they allow go for a test ride once you have finalized a particular design, feel the jacket, see if you can move properly. Then decide the size.

        That would be sexed out! I've been waiting to see someone do that on their black r15 v2. Golden wheels and also get silver brake&clutch levers and gold front forks too dude! If possible, gold stickers for 'R15' and 'YAMAHA' on the sides. Like this:

Recently had been to a ride and i wanted to test the speed.. i could easily hit 133kmph i dint try speeding after that.. and the bike was damn steady no vibrations at all.. i felt like was this the bike i rode it for 2000kms??.. it was awesome experience.. the bike behaves very different after 7k rpm.. It has 2 faces.. 1 before 7k rpm and other after 7k rpm.. And man it looks like this bike loves the corners.. every corner i was enjoying and was waiting for the next corner

                            You can try Cramster - Travel Gear For The Restless : Motorcycle Luggage, Saddlebags, Magnetic Tankbags, Riding Gear - Jacket, Gloves, Backpacks...
                            I use the same, it can be used a tank bag and a tail bag too. Fits an LS2 inside,comes with a rain shield which is in bright yellow color (Perfect for rains as it glows when light is thrown on it). Completely washable. About its tail properties on the V2.0 then it has hooks all you need to do is buy the cords which wont be more than Rs50set and then you can make it a tail bag.

                            You can also check RYNOX GEARS

                            This is one is bit over the budget, but gives you an advantage of being used as a rucksack. A magnetic and Suction options are available, Suction one costs less, 200-300rs less.

                            I think the cramster one is perfect as iam using it since 3 years (pulsar 180). No sign of tearing, this would be its 4th rain. Using it for office and for trips, Very useful if you have camera and lens with you.

                            @Others

                            I got the gear lever adjusted yesterday, i had a problem of downshifting as my thighs use to pain, the mech out there did a fantastic job in 5mins, he loosened the nut, made the gear lever a bit lower and tightened the nut (obvious).
                            Now downshifting is not a problem, moreover i can now grip the tank properly during braking too, no need to get my leg out.

                            Adjusted the high and low beam, Its a total DIY thingy. Get a screw driver and adjust the screw which is present on the headlight which is exactly besides the soft rubber part down extreme left or right side.

                            Left Light -
                            a) Tightened the screw the beam goes up
                            b) Loosened the screw the beam goes down

                            Right Light- Align this one very carefully as it only works on high beam
                            a) Tightened the screw the beam goes up
                            b) Loosened the screw the beam goes down

                            Same procedure.
                            Tip - try doing it in eve time so you precisely know the correct illumination of the path ahead.

                            Also saw a dry chain lubricating spray which is completely from Yamaha Japan, cost is Rs1400, that is costly but the interval is around 2000kms and its sticks like madness.

                            @Pune R15 members
                            Pune Yamaha has organised a small event on this sat regards to customers, a small g2g you can say. Snacks would be there (Yumm) and yes feedback will be taken about the bike.
                            Be there by 5pm @ YFS

                              Did u have any scratches on the tank? the same was reported by many reviewers.

                              Lowering the gear level helps a great deal, especially for tall guys.

                              You will need to adjust your right beam especially if you get HIDs.

                              Sounds good. Assuming the same qty as others (500ml), works out cheaper than Motul and marginally costlier than Tribocor.
                              (Motul and others need a respray at approx 500 kms)
                              Have you used it? Can you mention the brand and availability in other parts of the country?

                                Yes, they would be there as the rubber back side of the flip turtle does leave scratches.
                                Solution - Wash your vehicle and use waxpol polish on the tank, make sure you buff it good and let it dry. Once dried wipe it off by rubbing a microfiber cloth and you are good as new.

                                Yup it does.

                                You will need to adjust your right beam especially if you get HIDs.
                                The stock light is bright as hell, tweak the alignment and you have the entire street illuminated.
                                A white light of same wattage is in pipeline though. Osram or Philips.


                                Sounds good. Assuming the same qty as others (500ml), works out cheaper than Motul and marginally costlier than Tribocor.

                                I dont know since I just witnessed the mech spraying it on other bikes, I would still stick to OKS chain spray which is Rs250 for 500ml, works great.
                                No, I havent used it yet. Rs1400 is bit high atleast for me. We Pune guys usually have a long weekend ride 3-4 times in a month, and at that rate the one mentioned would be costly (After washing the lube does wear off the chain). Washing for my bike happens on every every sat without fail unless iam out. So for me I dont think ill go for it.

                                Its Yamalube Dry Chain Spray- In the pic the right side can.
