Baby R Lover



I'm also an r15 lover, and I can assure you that replacing pulsar 150 with an r15, is surely an upgrade. I'm waiting for my baby R, which may come any day now, so thought of sharing some info with you. Firstly, My close friend owns a pulsar 150 and we meet like, every other day and I ride it most of the time. And when I ride the R15 after getting down from the pulsar, Its just bliss. No offense to the cool pulsar or anything, but it just really is a class apart and a true upgrade

Now, for your queries. .

1. I've ridden my friend's R for long distances, it was kinda my 1st time after the test ride ,but felt great on it. You just have to find the right posture for yourself and you're good to go there are many Xbhpians who have gone on real long tours with it.. Respect

2. Compared to the pulsar, it feels kinda stiff off-road, but if you're just talking about dirty roads and stuff, you won't have much problem, because the places we went with it didn't have the best roads.

3. For this, you just have turn few pages back and look. Just little things like chain lubing and just taking care of it.

4. I don't really know about the fairing, but heard its difficult to replace if damaged in hyderabad . I learnt that the front lower panel and the tail fairing together cost around INR2400. I too need the full fairing price, just in case

5. This, depends entirely on you. Don't screw up the run-in , take care of the oil and filter changes, and follow the manual, and the bike will return the favour


And as you said, on paper,there are other options, which may seem better. But, you're not buying the paper. The feel of riding on the beauty is just unbeatable.

I'm an only son and don't have that pillion problem either . just some friends now and then. But, its a treat to the rider ..

Hope you got what you needed.All the best

guys what is the best solution for cleaning drive chain of r15....there are thousands of opinion on the net as a result of that im in big confusion as to what would be the safest combination to use on a o ring chain....however yamaha dealers in jaipur use diesel and motul chain lube to clean...is diesel safe for the chain or shall i go for motul chain clean and chain lube combination coz its getting too harsh on the chain these days due to rain....many say scrubbing chain with a tootbrush makes matter worse...help me

colour change

changed my black panel to white and i must say the bike looks good now..stickering job to be done on the panel

Nice pics there mate.. If they are not copyrighted, can I download them??

Thanks bhai no issues u can..he he

hey guys... i am new to the r15 family... and my bike has clocked 580kms till now..

i have raced the bike till 105kmph on 7000rpm after it crossed the 500km mark on the odometer... is there a problem with it????
i was adviced that i should run the bike under 4500rpm till 500km and under 7000rpm till 1000km by my friend during the run-in period....

also there is no humming sound coming from my bike when it is turned on... infact when i start the engine it gives a sound like "teeeeeeeee"..
i asked the mechanic of the service center about the problem... but he said that this sound is normal for r15....

help guys...

^^^ nope... No problem at all... the sound is from the fuel pump and is normal... chill and enjoy your ride....

welcome and chill buddy do not take every little sound that come from the bike to a fault or something bad. as abhimanyu31 said, its normal. and its not what speed you reach but how u reach there, if you keep ripping it on every second then its gonna cost you. just give a gradual rise

Two R15s & a Sunday.

This is how a fully loaded R15 with luggage looks like. Had stopped at the fuel station for fill up...

Btw a day back had experienced white smoke out of exhaust, anyone knows or felt the same? It just happened for the first start... Today morning i think it was back to normal. Please enlighten on this topic.

Good Lord bro! Where were you heading??
White smoke didnt notice anything like that!
Maybe your babe just got high

Was it the first morning start? coz on cooler days it is common to see white exhaust smoke when first starting a ur ride. This is generally steam caused by condensation...or in the worst cases it is an indication of a leak, not just any kind of leak, but a leak that is allowing either oil, coolant, or transmission fluid to get into the cylinder!

Hi,
I think there's nothing to worry about if it happened just once, could be the water in your exhaust.

I was just returning from my bro's place. Hehehehe yeah high on Octane.

Steam smoke and the one i saw were different, it dint look as is it was steam. I will be taking her to SVC mostly this weekend or something. No, i had been to the gym, parked it, went upstairs to get ready for office, come down and smokey a bit.

Yes, it just happened yest. Dint see it today, do I need to check the tip of exhaust or something?
