Projectors are just lens.. they do not use battery.. the bulbs inside use.. and they can be HIDs or Halogens.. Depends on what you are using..

Paint peeling off (apparently) at the exact same place on most LEs.

It was a FZ main stand. going by the looks of it. it was coming just a 3/4 cm below the side stand. I dont think it was lower the fairings on our babes. So it should not be a problem AFAIK

Sure it will, havent you noticed that even the side stand is removed on the R15's used in one make championship since there is high possibility of it scrapping down and losing control.

This same problem is reported on many R15 v1's. But I dont think the same happens on other coloured R15 V2.0 's except White.

Will shoot a mail to Yamaha in the same regard.

On-other-topic: Cleaned the chain and lubed it. Whatta pain it is but worth the trouble. Pics coming up in 5 mins.

yup I know dude, after my accident i replaced the same smashed panel with a new one...but as u know the paint keeps chipping off at that same spot...and there would be no point in just replacing the panel as it would result in the same...the next wise thing i could think of is getting a paint touch up done...and i have to admit, it looks pretty neat..though not good as the original but i can live with that!

I agree.

I just inquired with the other guys...it doesn't seem to be an issue in the normal variants, guess why this happens to the white LE's alone

as if the spares pricing wasn't already a nuisance!

yea it sure is!..Which clean and Lube did u use?...I use Motul chain clean and lube and its holding up pretty well...lasts long in these rains even after commuting 18-20 kms daily!

**ABikerAtHeart** · 08-12-2012, 06:55 PM

The sauce bottle contains kerosene worth Rs10.
Old tooth brush.
TVS Chain Spray worth Rs310.

The bike parked and newspaper spread well.

The kerosene application was made much easy by the nozzle.

Brushing it up. See the dirt?

See the difference?

After 1 hour of cleaning.

After 1 minute of lubing.

Yayy! *so proud*

**ABikerAtHeart** · 08-12-2012, 07:04 PM

Will leave the bike untouched till morning for the lube to semi-solidify.

@geekboy: I used kerosene instead of chain-clean as per Pinaki Sir's post, given it doesnt require water which could cause rusting and is very very cheap. But it requires a lot brushing.

A neat job there. How did u manage without a paddock/ main stand? Did u drag the bike back/ forth to cover the entire chain?

**ABikerAtHeart** · 08-13-2012, 09:32 PM

Yes, Teej.. Back n forth method..

Getting an Rx stand next time.

Undoubetly the ZMR. Fits every slot perfectly. Though I'd suggest ZMA-R simply cuz it looks alot more macho and stylish to me. Not Fi in the Zma but I dont think its needed.

Pulsar 220 is another good options comes with a semi fairing. Helps in touring. Fantastic mileage for a 220cc.

Fazer is the last best option from my side. Yamaha engine is sure reliable at high speeds and in the long run. Spares are cheap too. Mileage of 40kmpl on constant high speed touring is evident.

Wrong thread, bro
