(Yes, you have to reset trip meter as soon as you hit reserve and not after you've got the tank refilled.)

    2. Turn the knob to "main/on" as soon as you've refilled the tank by x litres.

    3. Next time when your bike hit reserve then note down the trip meter reading, say y kms.

    4. The FE is y/x kmpl.

    Repeat the steps for each riding style you may wish to find the FE.

    And do post what figures you got in steps 1, 3 and 4.

      You are one lucky guy out there. I've been waiting for the last 3 months and still it is not sure, if I can get her soon or not. Regarding the run-in, you have got your answer. Just try for an oil+oil filter change after 100-200 kms.

      P.S: This is not a standard procedure, but I've read it in the posts earlier.
      Money can get a 1942 BSA these days, but even Warren Buffet's whole Bank account can't get us our leg back!

          just stay below 6000rpm for first 1000 kms, shift gears around 4000 rpm or so, dont lug it and rest of the info you can find in owners manual. Happy Revving
          @prakhararya and shreyassave

          Thanks for the advice guys

          @shreyassave

          Ya Im really Glad that it will reach me within a week of booking. Many Outlets here in Chennai have Stock of R15 most of the time nowadays. Ive enquired in a few showrooms.. For a Full cash payment they are ready to give the delivery within 3-4 days. But the problem I faced was that I couldnt get the Blue one. Only the Red and black ones were in stock

                Fill petrol when it hits reserve... FI machines are easier to use since no fuel on,off,reserve etc... All is done automatically...

                    Did you find the reserve knob in V2, would like to see that if you can share the snap as V1 doesnt have the knob man. Just kidding

                    By the way i come to know something which i would like to share with you all, simple yet logical every 9-10000 kms, when you do your servicing check your electrical with the meter from authorized showroom and ensure power reaches all end points without any disturbances and there is no leakages involved, also check the rubber bushes and engine bolts every alternate servicing

                    Happy reviing

                    • Yes no reserve F

                      I do agree that best way to check mileage is to reset trip meter as soon as you see on your display and then fill the tank with X liter and note the reading when it hit reserve again and do the calculation.

                      As per this calculation my V2 (Run in) is giving mileage of 50 at highway and around 42-44 (combined highway and city). I am still keeping it below 5000 RPM and using all 6 gears changing between 4100 -4500 RPM

                        I'm getting the Blue and Black after 3 weeks (January end).

                        The Red-White is uncertain..

                        Ride safe and enjoy!

                        • Now,I am the latest one to get into the debate of whether buying Pulsar 220F or R15v2.0 ...which to go for? The extra Rs. 20k for R15 is quite a blow for me.

                                My wants list is HUGE:
                                My ride consists of zero highway driving and I hate people sitting on my bike,in my absence. So an R15 would draw hell of a lot of attention.Pillion riding will be very inconvenient,specially for my mom and gf? Firstly,I want something having very good quality which I can keep easily for 5 years,without getting rusted parts. Love Yammies for the monoshocks and wide tyres. Bajaj bikes get rusted very easily,although I take extreme care of my bike. How are the charges for servicing and parts of R15 and FZ? Any rumours about Yamaha updating the FZ?
                                I want stunning looks,about 45-50 mileage,fat rubber,dual horns and long lasting parts.
