Took an off today. Will try and go to service center to get oil/oil filter changed. Can someone tell me how much official yamaha oil for r15 and its filter costs in delhi ? And is this oil mineral ?

And people with the center stand, does it produces any kind of problem like stand like stand or bang against the road ? hope m making sense.

as many of the owners/experts said, for any FI engine, its recommended to have atleast 3-4 lts of petrol always.
infact 1 of my friends had faced the issue of fuel pump with his V1 and had to replace with a new one for a whopping amount of ~Rs/-10k(obviously he didn't have that extended warranty )
Although it doesn't happen to everybody, but why to take a chance for 1 ltr of extra petrol

you could have bought 1 RX-100 center stand and fit it whenver needed for cleaning/lubing instead of fitting it permanently(I am inferring from the pictures) as this would increase the weight of the bike thus reducing the efficiency/performance.

Between, pics are nice, seems enjoyed the cornering to the fullest...

Wento to the guy SVC, the oil they were offering was Yahamahalube 15W something somwthing. It was semi synthetic. And it costed Rs 505 in delhi. They didnt had oil filter right now so did not change it today. May b this weekend. One question. Are we suppose to stick to mineral initally ? They said this is the only oil they put on R15.
Someone please clarify. Thank you.

No, its semi-synthetic..oil is Rs. 505 + Oil filter Rs. 167
Faced no issues with the center stand yet and probably won't unless i'm into hard-core cornering!


Guess I'll have to change that habit of mine!

I used the RX stand for a while but then it just got to troublesome, this alternative worked for me!...and the corners were just beautiful!

not necessarily...its 15w50 Yamalube semi-syn...you can go according to the manual and use yamalube or use mineral oil till the third sevice, its just that in the first 1200 kilometers the engine heats up more as its new so people prefer mineral oil until run-in is complete!

I hope the black part in LE is better than the white,
I want to see the black in sunset red, coz the stock one is white.

1)Is there any mobile dock for R15 for my motorola defy as used in cars? I hate to take my phone out of pocket when m on bike.

2)I have done 310 kms on ODO, my service is due on 17-20 of next month, the maximum i think i can cover till then is 550km (total). Would you guys suggest that i still go for oil and oil filter change ? And can someone please tell me a oil to change right now, yahamalube is too costly Rs.505 for just 250 km as i would have to change it again on first service ? Any other ? or should i just stick to yamaha lube ?

3)I read everywhere run-in period is so crucial, so why dont the manufatures do it for consumers and then we can just use our bikes the way we want to from the very start ?

Replies in bold.

No it haven`t done the oil change yet. I was planning it on sunday but they didn`t had oil filter so i didnt. Now i am confused because my vehichle will hardly run another 200 kms ( max ) before its first service. Should i go ahead and still do the oil and oil filter change or do it during service only ?

1) No there isnt avaliable here, but if anyone is coming from US of A then yes you can import from several websites. Also it is not safe to dock up the mobile phone as it may fall due to poor road conditions here. In other countries roads are not filled with sooooo many pot holes that it might fall from the dock.

2) Dont change the oil and filter now, it will be taken care in the first service itself. Please go by the manual, the engineers at Yamaha know the bike more than us regardless of having years of experience too. Again, no need to change now, let the first service happen it will be changed that time and so is the filter.

3) There are bikes which come like that - R1, R6, FireBlade, 600RR, S1000RR and other SBK's. The ready product is headed to the dyno system where the bike is loaded and operated on mentioned run in speeds for those specific kms and then delivered to the customer, Run In period is not counted on ODO Meter, it comes under final testing of ready product.

Why - You cannot ride an SBK at Run In speeds for those kms prescribed in the manual.

So - The company does it for you, it is not practical either. Try riding an SBK on 60kmph in 6th gear, but on a DYNO it is possible since the belt can be adjusted according to a incline, (these are not regular DYNO machines that you see in a Tuner's garage)

Our- Bikes can easily do prescribed run in speeds in day to day runs. It is possible to keep the RPM below 4500 limit and ride the bike without any problem.

If hope this solves your queries.

Thank you for answering all the quesries.
And US of A .. lolz

Drove my baby to office today. 10 km in city and 20 on highway, 3rd time this week . Totally impressed by the brakes. Some truck walla took left, car walla took right, i applied brake and the bike didn`t even wobble. Make me trust my baby more.

Stryker is up for third servicing - 6,000kms. Is there anything that I need to know apart from -

1) Engine oil change
2) Oil Filter change
3) Servicing

Please let me know as soon as possible. Appointment at Monarch is taken for 2nd oct Tue, these guys are working on a national holiday too.

I dont think there's anything more. Just ask them to check the coolant level (or do it yourself)

Hey Guys, what is the Price for the black part near engine where their is a yamaha sticker.plz chek the image

@ESHAN: I suggest you check the Coolant level as suggested by Ivin by yourself, both in reservoir and in radiator.
Also just check the plug colour for how the setting is. ( i know it is stock but still, in case to avoid any problem).
