Bye-Bye 2012

Wish u a very Happie New Year 2013.:-)Ride Safe. Ride Hard.

Wish you all a very Happy New Year!
@Kotty- This is not going to be a very costly affair. Dont worry! You have to change - front panel assy(1945), Right panel comp 2(2175), Right panel inner cover(1450), RVM(250),Indicator(141).
From what i assume(not in pics).you may also have to change - Right rear cover(555), Silencer Muffler(250+55 emblem), Rear brake lever (~200) Engine guard(950).

Main issue to be checked is the Fork bend and Wheel bend. You can easily spot a fork bend in R15 when driving it. Hope it helps!

The prices mentioned are of White LE. So your bike's spares will definitely be cheaper. I guess total should come around 6k out of which 50% will be covered by insurance(Plastics).

I am not worried about my Leg at all i'm worried is about her .. Bro will it take long for the parts to arrive for replacement? Whats the span in which i can get my baby back on road, built perfectly?

Bro can you give an insight about my Expenses too??

And Ron Bro Actually I was too eager to know how you looked without your helmet saw your Fb profile you look cool..Can you help me with my Accident recovery scenario too??

Same goes to you also..Except the Right panel inner cover(1450), Engine guard(950).
Both RVM's are damaged (2*250). You don't have to change the Left component panel in my opinion. It has been just scratched.

Happy New Year Everyone ........Getting My Red-Bull Tomorrow and btw anyone from here came to Bikerz Yamaha at chromepet,Chennai on 31st around 10 am With u r Red R15 v2???

Strange thing observed today while riding my sweetie.

Was doing 30kmph and mistakenly instead of using high beam switch I powered off the engine kill switch. The acceleration was cut off instantly. While moving I just turned the switch back to ON position immediately (hardly 2 secs) and viola the bike was running again without hitting the start switch. How on earth did this thing happen? Or is it normal?

Lol yea.... It's normal,if u r on right gear..... Else u wuld have experienced rear wheel lock... It can start bcz the wheel is still spinning which is enough to crank the engine again back to life

Same principle of bump starting

Riderz yesterday on 01.01.2013 I finally Engaged(booked) with my Angel LE... Now Im looking forward to marry with her...

Ha ha ha thanks!

AFAIK you cannot get to know the damages of the bike by just looking at the outer damages (visible). take it to the SVC and check out. remove the fairing, check the Chassis, handle bars, and other things. Once with major accident its hard to get the bike back to normal if there are too much damages. and also since this will affect your mind set about riding, you may sometimes feel that something is not right. Have confidence and go ahead with replacements and other things.

Recovering Well

Thanks a lot bro , today rode her again to office and leg is still recovering
planning to visit SVC today , will update after their observation

Hi, Got My Red R15..........Can anyone guide me on Run-In Procedure please???????????? Also this is My driving habit-- I engage the clutch everytime i leave the throttle (stop accelerating) and then leave it when i again start to accelerate.....Is it good practice??? If Not wat should i do??? Please Please Guide me...I have been driving discover 100 all this time,so i want to know exact driving style atleast now

There is no difference between the operating procedure of a Bajaj Discover and R15, you are doing good.

For the Run-in procedure please refer to the bible - OWNERS MANUAL

I too had a small accident almost 5 months ago, only the L-RVM and Left handle bar had to be replaced. although the side fairing got many scratches, but refrained from replacing them.
Now just last week, we were on a 2 days ride covering ~900kms. While returnign back (almost 400 kms left then), I felt that after every lil bit of bad patch/gravel my bike passed through,the RVMs and Headlight assembly used vibrate and gradually it increased to a limit that I had to adjust the RVMS after every 10mins.
Then I stopped for a while and found out that the the screws holding the headlight assemly are broken. So I was holding that part with my left hand and was riding single handedly whenever there was any speed breaker/potholes. The headlights were doing discos on the road .

Took it to SVC the next day and found that the main Steel bar holding the whole headlight assemblly is broken .
The reason is the 5 months old accident which left a little crack on the bar and after that going through many potholes resulted in breaking them.
Total cost:
That headlight assembly: 2318
The headlight holding bar:600
The side panel where the assembly is mounted: ~650(need to be replaced yet, the part was not at SVC then)
Labour: 300
