    Dude, when ever you were handed over the bike, the manual should have been given to you.
    From which showroom you have taken the bike? they are just talking crap.
    Either they don't have the manual(seems strange but heard from many people of not getting the manual while taking the bike) or only GOD knows.
    And what if your warranty starts from today...when you are riding form now the warranty should start now...what if something happens to the bike before your warranty starts(within THAT 100 kms), they are gonna charge fully that to you.
    So I would suggest start the warranty from the very first day you start riding your bike and before that please read the manual carefully.
    Its okay if the manual is not given. Such cases happen in two scenarios.

    1) You dont get the manual if you get the delivery of the bike without the number plate (registration). The reason being, the RTO passing happens and the bike gets registered when the process is completed in the RTO. The date and, RTO passing, and other details need to be entered in the Manual for servicing, warranty and general information purposes.

    Paid amount on Monday, took the bike in evening, no manual no number. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday the dealer calls, your registration is done please come for number plate, Manual with filled information present in the RTO passing is given to the customer.

    2) The dealer has the Manual and other documents stored for his own clearance of accounts, it can be delayed by two to three days, mostly at the time of number plate day the manual is presented.

    Hope this helps.

    EDIT- The process is then followed by Smartcard which is sent to your home address by post after 30-50 days of time from registration date.

    Also, if something happens to you in those 100kms it is your responsibility and the insurance wont pay you a rupee. That's why it is mandate to take the vehicle only when the registration is completed, its risky man. Also, you are breaking the law from day one. 60-80 kms are okay on the odo but that's for transporting the vehicle if the godown is far from showroom. It might take certain days to get the process done but its for your own good... Patience does pay off at times.

      yes.
      but in my case I got the manual the day when i got the bike though the registration is done later. In fact I got the number plate 1 week later, but the owner should be handed over the manual while delivering the bike.
      As it's clearly written "Read this manual carefully before operating this vehicle"

Can you please show me where in the manual or on the Yamaha R15 brochure, website, and blog its written that oil and oil filter needs to be changed at mentioned schedule by you. Adhere to the Manual, it knows everything that is present in the bike, also its operation to troubleshooting.

        To each, his own I suppose turned out to be a costly affair for me in my previous bike (Pulsar180). I dont want others to go through the same, thats why buddy, nothing personal. Tk it easy.
        I sympathize for your previous vehicle. The numbers put in are close approximates. Both the use of mineral oil and the period for oil/filter change has been discusses at lengths even here on xbhp. I apologies but I'm having trouble using appropriate criteria to narrow exact posts down. Maybe you or other readers will have better luck.

        • I wont be riding it. Wont break the law. As per form 19, you can take the bike home with temporary number and as when you reach home, the bike should stay there unless and until you get the bike registered.

          Got a cover for my baby yesterday, costs 150/- bucks.

            you are not at all misguiding my friend.it is a good practice to change oil filter along with engine oil at 250 km.then again at 1000 km while first free service.
            and the question remains why do i race?
            every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

              It is a good practice no doubt there, but then again the manual for a particular product is present.

              @Raghu - I saw the link that you have updated, I did find it good but not promising. The reason being, if something happens to the bike engine, Yamaha first strips down the service manual for records, records of your periodic servicing If they find that it is not adhered to what is mentioned in the bible, you wont get the benefit of repair in free since its in warranty and is now void because of different follow up, neither the website you mentioned is going to pay for your repairs since you are adhering to their recommendations. For this reason only I'm advising go according to the manual so that later on you dont bear the cost of parts damaged due to any problem. R15 parts are costly... In the end you should be safe from such payments.

              Hey no apologies man, we are all here to learn.

                    Guys, I just switched off the ignition direct rather than killing the engine switch. Will it affect my bike? I was just showing its sound to my friends. Did it thrice maybe. I am afraid

                    One more thing I noticed. The clutch has a small rubber cover whereas the front brake doesnt seem to have one. Is it so?

                        Not a problem at all, buddy. You can kill the engine using the switch, and turn off the ignition using the key, or do the other way around. Doesn't really matter. The engine kill switch is actually there for emergency purposes, like during an accident or fall, to kill the engine immediately and cut off the fuel system. So it's a better practice if you kill the engine switch first, and turn off the ignition.

                          There are different school of thoughts on this. Debated to death, its better to do what you want to but preaching it to the community as a guideline is wrong.
                          There are many users who might get confused and do something which is not intended by any of us.

                          Safe users : Use as they say in the manual.
                          Advance users or users with bucket's of cash in case things screw up : Can try these methods of advance breaking in.

                          But, increasing the oil filter/oil change frequency in the beginning, if it might not do you any good. It doesn't screw up anything.
                          Think logically, changing oil prematurely doesn't hurt anyone. How could it ?, its just oil. Warrenty is void if you delay the oil change process not if you are extra sensitive.
                          The only question your mech would ask you is, how much you earn per month. :P

                          I went ahead with oil and filter change at 200 km, 500 km, 1000 Km and then as per my need.
                          With high revs, my oil doesn't sit for 3000 as per manual <which takes into consideration normal riding scenario>. I have to get it changed at 2500 around.
                          and that's totally my tryst with destiny. Not telling anyone to follow that. Read, Learn, Experiment, if you are comfortable, go ahead else just enjoy the ride.

                            Exactly my train of thought. There were some solid points in the discussions I read and tbh the mineral oil and filter cost me about 350 in all, I spent a hefty sum for the vehicle and didn't mind as much maintenance.
