I might select another SVC which is close to my house and does the job in less time. I think that might not void the warranty can it?

Not at all. You can get your bike serviced at any Yamaha authorised SVC.

EG- You are being charged RS50 for coolant, here its Rs200 + Tax = Rs240-260rs

Chain clean and lube - 200+Tax= Rs240-260

This is nothing but loot. You get a full 300ml coolant for 300 bucks IIRC. During the service it is just a top up, 200 plus tax is exorbitant.

Similarly, u get Tribocor 500ml for 300, Motul for 500 with which you can have 15 generous lube sprays, wonder why they charge 200 for a single spray! (FYI, chain cleaning is done for free during service since it is done along with the normal bike wash. What they charge here is exclusively for the lube.)

Yeah just called the customer care and got it sorted. Will be giving to Monarch Auto henceforth.

I use OKS chain Spray for lubrication.
Cleaning of chain and rear sprocket is done by washing center, so need not worry on that. Monarch i hope they are good than YFS.

Coolant top up I would actually leave it for the SVC because i heard you need a certain torque to tighten the cap and a pressurized system to check the temperature as well as pressure inside the coolant chamber (please enlighten)

Iam still awaiting the symptoms of damaged cone set on an R15 V2 please reply those are facing it.

Symptoms of damaged cone set please.

reduced front fork response and a twichy sound, like 2 people making love on an old wooden bed, while going over potholes and bumps.

I too get that noise and I know many others who do. But I have either got used to it or it has reduced, will keep an ear and confirm after some days.

**Ron Syl** · 07-19-2012, 06:56 PM

but i heard some one saying that its the sound of the cables rubbing each other when we brake or go over hump etc.

@all: Its always the coneset who's the culprit. Happens cuz of raceball dislocation or bursting of the same. Happens on hitting potholes or bumps a lil too hard.
Sucks to lose the punch,believe me.
Get it corrected under warranty guys.

I dont think so. I got my bike with '0' kms on odo, and while taking it for registration, even the very small patch works on the road produces this sound.
But, now nearing 7k kms, the sound is still there but is negligible and got used to it.

Areh Ivin, most SVCs disconnect the odo meter and it doesnt record any reading till the PDI.
Even I got mine with 0.00km straight from the godown thats 4km away from the showroom, a storey underground where a truck cannot reach. That wasn't the case now,was it?!

Besides, the cones can conk by simply not being properly loaded/unloaded to/from the truck or under the perils of delivery.

Mine conked up after an accident where even the forks got malalligned.

Lol, that was not my case. Unloaded from truck in front of me, they did the quick paper works, no PDI done, and handed the bike to me. Now, I would have to imagine that the truck driver ran it from inside the truck and got coneset damaged

Someone loaded it, dint he? *the pessimist*

lol.. Juz kidding..

YOU damaged it..or it aint damaged and lets juz say the sound u refer to isnt the sound of 'love' at all.

**Eshan-P180** · 07-20-2012, 10:11 AM

My take on this issue would be

1)If everyone is facing the same sound then its normal - All Yammies wont be defected.
2)If there are two or three members facing it, it is something to worry about.

can we have a continuation of who is facing is and who is not, please continue to put the next number in the required section.
Members can post other queries too but dont forget to quote the section below - For all members

Anyone facing spring loaded sound from front forks after going in bumps, pot holes or any type of obstacle.

1)Yes -1
2)No - 0
