Generally you will get it from SVC and if you need some good variety then visit your nearest bike aftermarket shops i your area. -

One Stupid thing i noticed, I DIY removed my petrol tank, the pump and everything from the bike
and switched later switched the bike on to check what error light will blink
to my surprise, the r15 check completed normally , and no diagnostic light came up.

I think the reason for this is that when you keep the engine kill switch in off position, the check completes without any errors.Originally posted by abdulsheikh007 View PostOne Stupid thing i noticed, I DIY removed my petrol tank, the pump and everything from the bike

Please forgive my lack of knowledge here, but what exactly as a purpose do tankpads serve? Scratch prevention?Comment

Yes, scratch prevention. Depending on your riding posture, there may be instances when your belt or any other factor around your waist may rub against the tank, resulting in scratches on the tank, if the tank protector pad isn't present.Originally posted by Sushrut View Post

1) My bike has done some 250 KMs till now, should i go for the oil + oil filter change at 300 KMs?
What'll be the approximate cost for the same?
2) What's the best recommended procedure for cleaning/detailing/polishing the bike?
And what are the shampoos, polishes etc recommended?Yamaha R15 V2.0 (2012)

The tank pad won't cover the entire tank, but just the portion which comes right near your waist. If you do have the Italy flag colors done there, then yes, you 'll have to sacrifice it, but then again, it's for the best.Originally posted by Sushrut View PostI do noticed a patch of scratch.But if I am going fora tank pad, I may need to sacrifice the cool Italy flag colors got done on the tank

you should have changed oil and oil filter at 200 km.there is a dedicated thread about bike polishing,google it.Originally posted by Techiemechie View Postand the question remains why do i race?

Ans 1: New bike? Yes you can go for the oil filter+oil change now, it won't hurt, except a few bucks. Ask the service center which oil have they used when handing over the bike to you. Continue the same till the next servicing. Even if you go by the manual, it won't hurt, given that its Yamaha who has written it, right!Originally posted by Techiemechie View Post
Ans 2: Google is our best friend. I am sure Google will definitely point out some thread linked to XBHP. I am not sure if car shampoos/polish can be used on bikes, so won't suggest anything out here. You can visit Shell Petrol Station as they do keep a variety of polishes/shampoos. I myself haven't tried it anytime. (I own Black Pulsar 150 by the way. Also, you can contact @Eshan P-180 here. His Black babe shines and looks so cool that you can see your face. He might be just be the person you canbother about THE R15).Regards,

Completed Third Service @4.5k kms(instead of 6k kms.). Had the overheating issue for long time. This time tried a different service centre to solve it.
They found that the spark plug is 'defective'.. and they also said that there is a leak in the head(reason being the head is not fit tight enough to stop the coolant leak). So they have fit it properly.Have to run a
The oil and filter has been changed as usual!
Spark plug-63
door grommet(coolant side) - ~61
Oil+filter- ~670
coolant(top up)- ~90
Total- ~915
P.S; Engine guard's Paint quality is very poor..it stated to peel off, at around 3months from date of purchase. Anybody face the same problem?Rx is a Phoenix!!! It always rise from ashes!!Comment
