    I'm relatively new to this forum. I'm planning to this bike maybe in next 2 weeks, I owned a RX 135. I'm kinda scared now after read this thread (almost 100 pages) people seems to know a lot about this bike and my knowledge is very limited when it comes to bike. I just Googleing stuff to understand the terms most of you use. I'm trying to learn but lot of stuff is going over my head. Will this be a problem after I take my bike because I hate to see my bike suffering due to my lack of knowledge and you all seems to identify issues rather quickly. Would you recommend this bike to a Newbie? I have one more questions to friends from Chennai, I heard this bike is technically very advance and most of the SVC people doesn't know what they are doing, Is there a good place in Chennai you recommend to get the servicing done or is there a direct Yamaha SVC in Chennai like Enfield (i'm new to Chennai i'm from Kerala)?
    good to know about your decision. once if a person has made a decision about buying r15 then its hard for him to think about other bikes lol.
    dont be scared. it will only add to your worries and wont be a pleasant ownership for you. good to know you have been following things here.
    i see you are not a newbiee you have been riding rx you have to worry about the sitting posture and pillion(if any like wife/gf/any other).

    I put on a request to be with the mechanic during the service but the chief mechanic slightly got angry and instructed not to allow any owner in the service area. so I was forced to wait in the waiting room but I didn't give up, started to get in with out any permission (I should not do ) and I noticed that they were demonstrating how to fix the chain sprocket to other fellow mechanics... I just smiled that my bike would be a test trail for other mechanics. If I continue to do the same I may face the consequence in the quality of the service so started listening music inside the waiting room.

    They took three hours to fix the sprocket.
    Which service center you went to? i happily stand 3 meters away from my bike when its being serviced no one even tells me anything

                            .
                            Please let us know which shop in Mumbai.
                            Also about the price and whether the stock battery is able to handle or you changed the battery itself.
                            A detail review would be highly appreciated.

                            • No i have changed the battery to 9amp Amaron, and these projectors are fitted with 55w H7 bulb so at a time only one beam is on untill you press pass switch. I will post a review with the images soon.
