    the bike slammed at the divider at the speed of 80-90kms on the rt hand side YFS guys told dat's the damage from outside for visor parts and the rt handle bar had some bent and abot the speed locking they told that may be the air filter or something they will inform me. It has done 3.2k kms 3rd service is due. Run in was maintained well.

      My advice would be to take the bike immediately to your nearest Yamaha authorised service center and let them do their job(i.e diagnose the damages and give you an estimate) . I say immediately because on impact things can go wrong with a motorcycle which makes it unsafe to ride until repaired .
      Welcome to the xbhp forums .
      thanz pinaki i have already given my bike to the YFS they are looking for the probs but at first they mentioned dat may be the airfilter that is the culprit but i dont think so i hv already clocked my ride at 120km/hr before the incident

      • I had sent a mail to healtech electronics for GIpro gear indicator, got the following reply,

        For the R15, you need the GIpro X-type, part no:
        GIPRO-X + GPX-Y03

        For the CBR250R, part no:
        GIPRO-X + GPX-H02


        Cost is 89 EUR per kit, shipping is 8 EUR per order by airmail.

        If you order 5 kits, we will ship by TNT express, which will take about 5
        days and it has online-tracking service and insurance.
        Normally the extra cost for TNT is about 50 EUR but we can give this option
        free for 5 kits.

        You can place your order on our web:
        HealTech Electronics Ltd.


        Is anyone interested. If yes, then please do let me know.

          • Guys, as written in manual it is necessary to use UNLEADED petrol only?? Or normal petrol is fine?

            What if I use unleaded petrol when I have already used normal petrol?

            I am still not able to decide, can we keep the engine kill switch ON permanently? or it should be used frequently?

            If it should be used frequently, then whats the sequence while turning the bike off? engine kill first or ignition first?

              Yeah, thanx for the advice.Btw, serviced her today.The 3500km old oil made way for new one which made my ride quite smooth.On came a new filter.The guy there advised to change the rear disc pads at the next svc.I have done just 8500km, is the disc pad life this short?Should I change the front disc pads too?
              Hi, I got my front disc pad changed in 4th servicing itself( ODO: 8958 kms), but rear is still fine(now ODO 14K kms). I normally use the front 90% of the time, so it depends on usage.

              'normal petrol' is the same 'unleaded' one which you get in fuel station. so just go for the regular petrol.

                Can you guys plz tell me shall i remove the Mug guard.
                I think that makes more sexy.
                Yes you can remove it.. Though just keep it safe with the bolts so that you can fix it again in monsoons and avoid a modern art on other people.

                As the looks part goes.. You can see the tyre profile 130 section looks huge after we remove the hugger.
                One thing by removing you mean the complete thing right till the rear shocks? or you want to cut the ugly looking hugger extension.. both ways you can do. But I'd suggest go for cutting the hugger
                Check the pic below. rightmost R15. I've cut it halfway.. If that's what you want to do
                Keep Calm and Kaam se Kaam

                To all those how-to-run-in-the-bike-oh-it's-so-confusing. Here's an advice.
                Read and follow the OWNER's Manual. Keep it simple.. Old School technique will do more good than harm your bike

                    • It depends on the way you drive buddy. There are people on this thread who even got 42 kmpl during run in. And yea the r15 v2 has both front and rear tubeless tyres.

                        ha ha ha ha ...LMAO.
                        Dude, where is this showroom? Complain this to the manager or Yamaha itself.

                        About the mileage, I get around 35-40 kmpl with ODO 14K kms and I know guys who get even around 50kmpl some time (even after 8K ODO),sounds bizzarre but true as we ride in same group, so know it well.
                        And yes, the pillion seat is not at all comfortable for long trips, but small rides can be done easily.

                          Classic case of last night fight with wife/girlfriend. Don't worry, shit happens. Refer another showroom.
                          The rids is as good as it can be, can refer to polls for the average. With sane riding, 35 is attainable.
                          And yes, tubeless tires.
                          Ride On,

                              hahaha LOL.. 35kmpl under insane riding conditions.. I havent gone below 42kmpl till now almost 8K on ODO (sane insane twisties/highway rides). best I got was 52kmpl in run-in tank full to tank full method. As kuntal is stating we have a rider who gets almost 50 on highway ripping don't know how but he gets.
                              On a serious note go and get this babe. She'll never dissapoint you on the road or otherwise :P
                              and here seldom will happen that somebody will give wrong information..
