    correction: it's Revolutions per minute..and not rotations. though it is the measure of frequency of rotation
    Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

      Go for Osram 4300K.. They are not the white ones you get.. have a blue packaging with something like super bright 4300K written over the pack. The light throw is good. Been using it since last 2 months. No issues on highway and city as well. Check page 378 for the pics put up by a member here to see the difference in appearance of the bulb in daylight.

      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

        You might try(might have alreday tried) adjusting the focus of the bulbs. Rotate the Screw behind the head lights to do that(Anti clockwise rotation lowers the light beam).
        It's fact that the stock bulbs are not that good but large potholes can easily be seen under normal night riding condition(in case there is no on-coming traffic with high beam making you blind).

        Osram 4300K is also of 35W but this option is the only way out(without HID/Projectors and without tampering the battery). Seen his bike's headlight, pretty good.
        Test it before installing.

            Well, the compression ratio of our bike is 10.4:1 if m not wrong, so u can fill normal fuel caz your bikes performance ll still be good..

            • Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

              Well only bikes with compression ratio higher than 11:1 requires high octane petrol

                      Actually, I re edited my post to correct revolutions with rotations. Well, thank you for clearing my doubt

                          This seems to be a common problem, i was getting a lot of that too early on but don't have that problem anymore.
                          You need to be more careful while changing from 1st to 2nd. Make sure you hear the gear slot into place, otherwise here's something you can try: when shifting from 1->2 release the clutch while keeping the pressure on the gear lever and let go of the lever only after the clutch is fully disengaged.

                          Make sure you get grease in the all the places recommended in the manual and also everything else that's recommended in it.
                          The SVC guys will only be too happy to just change the oil and get over with the bike, its your responsibility to ensure everything gets done!

                              Get the swingarm, coneset and wheel bearings greased. Replace the air filter. Get the chain slackness adjusted. Check for brake pads wear.
