Hope your confusions are clear now.

Good, Smart decision.

I'm stuck with a number plate holder!
Can somebody help me with this issue?
I need to remove the number plate holder of my V2 to affix number decal on the visor. But if I remove the holder the mirrors become loose. So i tried double sided tape as well as got V1's rubber bush to replace the iron holder. But it couldn't replace the holder and in the process my left mirror is not bolted tightly and it vibrates. Now what can I do to get rid of this piece of iron?
Is there any owner who successfully got rid of their v2's front plate holder who could help me with a solution?

hey bro, mine didnt come with a front number plate so no idea about it. Why dont you ask the workshop people at the dealers place to remove it.

Ideas

I'm going to go to the dealers place to remove the saree guard and the rear view mirrors. I'm having second thoughts on the rear view mirrors since its useful in the traffic to see who is coming from behind, but they are a pain as well specially when you want to squeeze yourself between vehicles to overtake/change lanes. Any ideas?

At any kind of posture the RVMs are perhaps just a couple of inches or so outside your elbow levels. RVMs are ABSOLUTE necessisty and shouldnt be tampered with.

Certainly my point. I don't want to remove the rvm's instead I want to tighten them to their proper fit after removing the front plate.

Any way to trim the couple of inches? any particular adjustments? I would definitely like to keep them, but they tend to bug me when i'm squeezing between vehicles.

It's been one month since i own this bike there's only 2 issues i'm facing till now 1st false neutral,hard gear shifting(gear shifting was ok till 300 km but after i crossed 300 km shifting gears seems harder now i'm at 750 km and 2nd issue is bike is heating too much i can feel the heat in my right leg while driving at traffic

Is there any solution for these problems plz help

hi guys
am karthick from chennai
i own a r15 v2,she s 7days old wit 170km in ODO....
yesterday i rode her upto 90+kmph~
d 1 keep on striking ma mind is will dat affect my engine performnce..coz she is new..
guys pls help me...

NO

dude for the first 500 kms drive under 5000 rpm and from 500 to 1000 kms drive under 7500 rpm...

If its a one-off thing its ok..though it was quite early..I did touch 80 once but only after 500kms...As per owner's manual, be under 5k rpm for first 1000 km but its always better to be upto 3.5k for first 500km and upto 4k and occasional touches to 5k for next 500km...Try driving in all the gears considerably as well...
Yesterday only I met a person wid V2, he hasnt followed running-in properly, he got shocked to know that I get a mileage of 45+ while he gets 30. Though mileage is not the only sign but nevertheless its the only visible sign as of now...So control your right wrist, its just a matter of 1000kms, follow running-in properly and reap its benefits all throughout the engine life...

Run In Period

See the photo attached

Like I said before 5000 rpm under till 500 kms and 7500 rpm till 1000 kms. Of course you can ride it above the rpm as well, but not for a long period of time. Now whats that long period is not sepecified, so I'm guessing 1 to 2 mins

Break-In More Insight and thoughts

Folks..
i agree to what you all and the manual say for break-in.

BUT.. Maybe bike manufacturers are being super cautious at the expense of your motor's performance? I think that they take the cautious route that works over time (1000 miles, or about 20 hours of break in) versus a faster route that can be more easily screwed up."

Can all you expereinced guys out there please provide your feedback for the below article ??

New Engine Break-in Procedure

TIA

New wheels...

Hi!

Short version- Got my Blue/black YZF R-15 v2 delivered today...

And now, the Long version...

WHY- My first vehicle was Honda Dio, bought in 2002 during my 11th Grade. Its still very much alive and active. The best scooter out there. And always puts a smile on my face when i take it for a spin. But for so many reasons, in all these years i was always denied to get an upgrade. Three years back when R-15 v1 was launched, i was still a student and a dependent on my parents support to buy one. And even when they did, they got me an i10 for final year college... Now after two years of owning an i10, it has made me realize, i aint meant for 4 wheelers. And so the decision to get a bike.

WHAT- This is short. I like R-15. Respect its engineering brilliance. And i ride really HARD...

WHERE-
(This can be very useful to prospective R-15 buyers in chennai city). I started hunting for the ideal dealer for me. And then i came to know that a dear friend of mine was family friends with the owner of JAIN MOTO BIKES. Now everybody would say thats a great thing, and so did i. So after some intro and phone calls, i ended up paying my booking amount and was told a waiting period of 2 weeks. This was on 28th November. The following days, the sheer frustration and disappointment caused by JAINS MOTO BIKE, especially with their arrogance and attitude made me feel so sick and disgusted for booking my bike with JAINS, even though i had proper contacts. But i can blame no one other than the bloody manager @ JAINS. That SOB was manipulating me into paying the full cash, saying the bike has been recieved in the yard, and i can take delivery on 2nd december, when actually they never got any such stock. It was then and where i decided, i should stay away from such ppl in business.

And then again the hunt began for the proper dealership last Saturday. Almost every dealership didnt have the qualification or decent customer friendly attitude to run a bike showroom. It did put me off so much so that i even was ready to give up on YAMAHA. Yes! I need satisfaction too. Not just the bike. If they dont know how to treat you, they sure will not know how to treat your bike.

Then today, the last showroom i had to visit, SRI MOTORS near kasi theatre. Having faded all hopes over finding a proper YAMAHA dealership in chennai, i was really glad i visited them. "A class" customer friendly and customer oriented service. Definitely recommend them.

THE BIKE- I was already fixed on buying the blue colour. Walked into the showroom, introduced myself and told them that i was interested for a Blue R-15 and full cash settlement. To my surprise, the sales person said that they have one, that arrived in their recent lot, not been booked so far, for instant delivery! So, asked for a PDI. Was duly allowed to, and i did a complete PDI. Then proceeded to the necessary paper works. Paid cash. Was handed over the bike in perfect manner as how a dealer should do.! HAPPY CUSTOMER...! HAPPY DEALER...!

Couldnt register it though, and tomorrow being a National holiday, i decided to bring the bike home unregistered. Didnt feel like leaving it behind in that godown when i made all cash payments, which means i am responsible for whatever that may happen, and i cant deal with that. I am in no possible situation to ride my bike beyond 50km on the odo till i get my registration done. Which will happen by wednesday.

As of now, I am a happy man, and gonna enjoy every mile on this Legend of a bike..! Pics tomo...
