Dont know about the price, my suggestion, plonk a black and make it look sexy.

I was thinking the same!

Even thought of keeping it naked, but then...can't risk the radiator fins

Funny as it may sound, had never heard of 3k HIDs..

This is purely lime in color, though it's 3000 Kelvin..

the pic is taken on a Lumia 710 so the proper spread and exact color did not come in the shot.. It's not even close to what it is in reality.. Objects on road are just crystal clear.. Well you are not the first one.. I am sure many have not..

Or many have heard but never seen..

Hey that's green hue ! awesome spread but why don't you add in projectors?
specs please btw

Yes the visibility is much much better.. Did not add projectors yet as I don't believe in cheap ones.. And I do not have the cash to buy the good ones right now.. :P

But yes they are definitely in the pipeline...

So did you replace them with a 3000k kit?
Is the illumination better with this kit?

Yes I had 4300 Kelvin kit.. Changed it to 3000 Kelvin kit.. Illumination and visibility much better.. Specially during rain, fog and dusty roads, the difference can hugely be understood..

Had a fall few days back and the bike's front end got hit. Now there is a bend in either disc or rims. I sense a push in every rotation of wheel in my front brake lever, which inturn implies that the bent part is pushing the pads in every rotation. Any idea how i can find whether the affected part is disc or rim? Also please quote the price of the parts!

Thanks.

Is the R6 tail-light a direct fit for the R15 2.0

Will the R6 tail-light be a direct fit for the R15 2.0??
I came across this on Ebay and really love the concept http://www.ebay.com/itm/06-07-Yamaha...ht_3508wt_1037...if its a direct fit, planning to get rid all 4 indicators and replacing the front 2 with flush mount LED ones!...

EDIT: here's a link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2GrP...layer_embedded

No idea bob.. But why go for it? The current one is pretty much the same as R6's..

@Raneet: That jacket looks pretty neat.. Review with close up shots?
Those metal knee pads.. Still waiting for their close-ups,btw.. :|

Another shot from the Sunday ride..

Oh I'm sorry I forgot.. :P

Jacket is very good.. It's DSG Maze.. It's a mesh jacket.. Wonderful fit, superior finish and quality and very comfortable.. Affordable as well..

Metal protectors, well they are amazing VFM.. Comfortable, good looking and light weight..

Here are some more shots..

Hi guys,
I own this baby for almost last 6 months and it has done a lil moe than 8K kms.
From last 1 week whenever I'm starting my bike after a bit longer time(say 2/3 hrs or more), though keeping it in idle for 1/2 mins, the engine is going OFF while riding mostly in 1st/2nd gear. I took it to the SVC but there it hasn't behaved that way, so they were not ready to do anything untill they see

.
Now a days,everytime going to office, the engine is going kaput anytime and any place...in traffic or some time while overtaking. Man, it's really beoming risky.
But after say 2/3 kms of riding...it's going fine. NO issues after that.

If I remember, earlier someone else had posted some similar issue, so if YOU can put some input, it would be really helpful.
And mostly PROs, please let me know what could be the reason.

Looks-wise, yes it is...but i like the integrated turn signals in it which the stock one doesn't have, I've gotta few ideas which i'm gonna implement to make the bike look a more sportier (I know it looks freaking-awesome the way it already is, but just a little tinkering here and there)...just not sure whether the tail-lamp dimensions on the r6 and R15 v2 are the same!..

p.s as for the naked front tire pics of the bike, will upload them soon!

Mate, you seem to be having a low idling. My friend had this problem with his V1, so he got the idling rectified. Try to keep the revs up in 1st and 2nd in traffic. If the bike doesn't stall then its an idling issue, else go to the SVC or try to get a video of it.

I too initially thought of that yaar, but checked the idle RPM and it's at 1.4 K.
Moreover the engine got switched off on high RPM like 5/6 K as well.
God knows whats happening. Will be taking to SVC tomorrow again. Hope the solution comes in or atleast I am able to show them the problem

Hi Kuntalnag,

Akash is correct. Even I had this issue once with my V1 and my bike used to shut down on the highways even at higher rpms like 5k and speeds like 70kmph and I can tell you it becomes more scary when you are in the rightmost lane and stopping the bike in that traffic becomes very risky.
I took the bike to the SVC and told them about the issue and as I suspected it turned out to be a low Idle RPM issue. The iRPM was set to a higher value and since then I never faced this issue. Just check with your SVC mechanic. I am sure this will solve your problem.

Thanks a lot man...if Idle RPM is the only issue.. I'm relaxed

Between, what's the iRPM set for your R15 now?

How can it be and idling RPM issue when EFI does not have a screw to adjust that?, it is completely commanded by the ECU and therefore there shouldn't be such issues, that is supposedly one of the principal advantages of EFI vs carburettor, I'd say it is more likely to be the injectors that are dirty do to low quality fuel and made worst by not having an extra fuel filter in case the tank already has one.

Cheers and if any of you have any input on this, please explain.

incorrect. There is a screw on the R15 to adjust the idling rpm.

Fact 2: Advantages of fi over carb is that it electronically controls the AF ratio wrt the ambient temperature and on change of altitude and thus prevents cold start issues (completely) and is hence slightly more fuel efficient.
As for the idle rpm, it doesnt control it but merely helps maintain it to its standard set value.
