There's no issue with the front forks unless and until you go through a pot hole and bump really bad. It will damage the forks and then you'll get and the forks will make all sorts of kat-kat dhus-dhus sounds however you may like to describe it. As Eshan has very well mentioned about the scratches and the golden colored thingo( if at all forks are damaged). You can check with existing owner of R15 in your city regarding that. Seeing is believeingOriginally posted by Shubham@bikez View PostBro actually I wanted to know the reasons for this problem; why it happens & also is it very common in R15?????????? Coz it seemed like a pretty serious problem….
In the end it all depends on the way you ride it and the care you take.
It's your call mate.
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 bikeComment

Bro now you have all the answers on your questions, now it will be your call !
But remember unless until you don't drive a car on road you won't know when will the traffic signals would go green/ red !! I don't think any R15 owner here is complaining or regretting of the bike as people do on other threads! This shows smiling ownership of R15 !
All bikes have some or the other issues! And believe me owing a R15 is really a complete different feeling !
Owning a R15 makes you a commuter on a Sports bike + you get well aware how a sports bike feels and rides/ handle. Which will help you in your higher cc sports bike riding/handling!Comment

Still the bunk person can fill some more into it... Bcz if u miss 100 ml, it's gonna affect your calculation for sureOriginally posted by somen1984 View PostIts better to sweat than bleed!! "AGATT "

There is nothing called as wrong decision. these are machines, anything can happen. even from a nut missing to engine seizure. cant really predict. but i can assure you that r15 has not given me any problems. you have to make sure you maintain it and ride sensibly. We are here to help each other only. but the thing is what was normal, you thought it was problem.Originally posted by Shubham@bikez View Post
exactly what i was talking about.Originally posted by somen1984 View Post'On the Road that never ends...'

Don't worry bro... go to pump and just say "full tank". The petrol pump helper will fill it accurately.Originally posted by siddharthsure View Post
There is a level at the mouth of tank i.e a metal sheet with few holes Big and small, fill till that level. More precisely see the pic below :

Make sure next time too you fill it till here only and note the liters refueled.Comment

Thanks Eshan. I went to SVC late today, so no one could attend my bike. One of the service personnel came and said will check it tomorrow, he started the bike and vroooom, accelerated it hard till 11k rpm on neutral gear. I was willing to get a jail sentence for his murder at that point
.. By the way Where do I get stickers for the shocks (g stickers 
) ??

Which stickers are you referring particularly? G stickers bhai kaunsa hai
You in Mumbai right? post it in Mumbai thread in regards to sticker shop. In Pune we have Funky's and AKay's for stickers, even Nana Peth to be precise. I think there is one funkys in Bandra
Call them up before you go - Shop no. 1, Elcid Building, 565 BR Ambedkar Road,Opp Imppa House, Behind Dr. Sajanani Clinic, Bandra (west) Mumbai, MH 400050, PH - 022 3292 9593
They have a same outlet in Camp, Pune.
Hope this helps, Goodluck dude!sigpic

Hi everyone, I think I'll be buying the R15 by the end of this month.
Can you please give me some information about the maintenance of the bike? Actually, I'm a college student and it should not be too heavy on the pocket. :P
My weekly riding will be around 100 kms.
What extra maintenance it needs when compared to an FZ?
How much does both free and paid services cost and what do they include?
What about the durability of parts and the frequency of changing them and their respective price (like the steering bearings/ball racer, air filter, oil filter, etc.)?
I have read about issues people had with the fuel pump. Is it something to do with improper maintenance? Does an FI system needs any additional maintenance?
Is the low and mid-range torque close to an FZ?
Please help!Last edited by anishbora; 01-11-2013, 06:56 PM.Comment
