        Damn it was 1.34l otr mumbai a few months back and now its 1.46l otr :banghead:


        Ron : Which petrol do I have to use? Is normal petrol with 87 octane rating enough for r15? or should I go for speed - 91?

        Can we use additives to increase the octane value of normal petrol?

          Thats a news to me.

          and about the Fuel, frankly speaking, R15 is not an R1. Dont know who started this trend of going for higher octane n stuff. Normal unleaded petrol is more then enough {and check the manual also} some guys have tried extra premium petrol and stuff also. I always filled up with normal petrol, only in the later stages i filled up with Shell few times. nothing much difference i felt. Purely my experience. one more question that goes around is the Engine Oil, AFAIK R15 will have yamalube SS in stock out of the showroom. if you wanna change then try shell Ax7 SS after 2k kms. make sure you change the oil filter also while changing to different oil. hope doubts are cleared.

            • Guys can the tool kit compartment be used as a helmet lock? The mechanic mentioned something about this when I purchased the vehicle but I wasn't paying too much attention.

                The back side of the rear seat has 2 hooks for this. Pls go thru the manual, it has details as to how to use those for locking your helmet. I tried couple of times, could not succeed. Pls post your experience

                  Same here bro. Those straps do not fit inside, God knows which helmet where they planning to fit there. But on a serious note, I wont put my costly helmet like that, bloody any one can rip it and it take it away or even scratch it in parking. Even if the helmet lock works, I'm not going with it, personal opinion.

                  Did that with my Honda Dio, someone flicked my one month old cross helmet costing 3k. That vent helmet was so big that it wouldnt fit inside the dicky, so had locked it on the helmet lock provided at the start of the seat.

                              If you're in Bombay the normal petrol will be 91 RON as is the speed/power and extra mile, only speed 97 is different, you won't need it unless you are running higher compression.
                              Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
                              More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
                              Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
                              Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
                              Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !
