    How much average you got ?

    Just a random thought, most of us are from Pune and Bangalore.
    How about a meetup ride last weekend of this month.
    Pune guys can ride towards Bangalore and people from there towards here.
    We can spend the night somewhere in between, Humpi, may be.
    and back the next day.

    Just a thought, any takers ?
    Ride On,

      I went on ride of my friends karisma.
      what a nice torque man!
      waiting for 1st service to get free of slow speed.
      do we get the mineral oil in new R15 v2, as the oil has not changed?????
      littile virations in the visor part, will get out at time of service.
      lets see, what happens to my babe after 1st service.

            funny part is i didnt calculate my FE but would have got around 40kmpl thats for sure.

            about your random thought, i have no idea who will ride. i am not free this month end. FYI you could have ridden to goa last month 24th. we were there for few days.

            did you mean that the strange thing is that karizma had better torque? if so whats so strange about it.
            we get SS oil out of factory. give it to the SVC for service. if they ask which oil then say SS oil. thats it.
            that last line didnt sound well, no wonder @incipient gave that reply! lol was humorous though,.

              One query:

              The bike feels too smooth during accelerating, but when the speed goes down, then in 3k to 4k rpm range I feel vibes at my footpegs. The sound is not smooth. Is it same for all r15 v2's? Will it go after first servicing?

              My first servicing is on 20th dec. Some say Yamalube isnt manufactured by motul anymore. So should I use the same or buy Motul?

                buddy, this is same i feel some times when i apply the rear brakes.
                still cant understand what is the reason.
                will ask in first service to get it done.
                about motul,
                what i got to know is that the motul is thick and works after getting warm.
                but yamalube works better for city rides and short distance.
                Motul for long rides and yamalube for city rides.

                      Haha
                      Exhaust is awesome. Power input is very fast now. Much noticable difference. And yes, noice is a pain, but with the db killer, its just somewhere near a fully throttled duke 200 . But without db killer, You cant just hear anything other than this
                      I am financially out now, saving for ECU and cam-shaft

                        Yeah, once the ECU and Cam- shaft is in there is no stopping to this monster. Dagrex costed? along with installation, i think the DB killer comes free with the exhaust system or not? Also, are there any negative signs on the engine if you plan to use it for long term requirements or works just like stock exhaust.

                          Dagrex cost Rs.9900. I myself installed it, so no installation charges Yes the db killer comes with it, and I cant comment on the negative issues unless I use it long term. Since Yamaha themselves are selling it , I opted to go for it other than Yoshi and leo Vince.

                            you seem to be too much worried. its normal. unless ofcourse if it too much. you see when you accelerate the rpm and power increases (think in terms of physics here and not what you feel) its got to be smooth. once you get out of the power band , that is either too less rmp or too high , the engine will get stressed and thus causes vibes. me too face the same thing,. however i dont call it an issue. its an engine after all. no engine will be super smooth for long time. you can never predict when it will get vibes. and the vibes not only depend on the engine, it sometimes got to do with lose fitting in the frame or parts.
                            i used yamalube, will be going for shell Ax7 after i cross 6k ( i am on 5K now) but since its your first service i would suggest go for yamalube.

                            you get vibes when you apply rear brakes? and one more thing dont tel minor things that are normal to the svc guys, they will end up doing something else to your bike. lol
