Yes there's change in riding, position on v1 and v2. V2 is has more agrresive riding position than the older verient. I but according to me v1 is much more comfortable in touring than the v2 and v2 is more comfortable for city riding.. Both the verients has its own advantages l

How do you even care to submit such an incomplete post and then ask for replies. You have mentioned Rs 550 for oil, but which oil? Should I assume that its Fork Oil since your bike was involved in a fork issue lately? Please post clearly of what you need and what solution are you looking for.

Rs600 to fix, that's too much, shoot a mail to Yamaha stating this problem.

@All members

Please refrain posting petty issues like -

1) Is it okay to speed my bike at X speed at X KMS on ODO
2) Will something go wrong if the bike faces rough gear change
3) What is running in period and what KM/PH should I ride my bike
4) Should I go for Oil Change at X kms, I feel like doing so because it would smooth up the acceleration even if its against the manual
5) Front vibrations
6) Manual is boring to follow

This is a knowledge forum and not a complaint box, I can guarantee that your mentioned complaints will be only solved by going to Yamaha SVC or by mailing the Customer Care and not by any member here, at max they can guide you in knowing what the problem is, only if you post it properly. Quality of our V2 thread is going down, there are no knowledgeable posts, only rants and complaints when there aren't any. Please avoid SMS lingo on the thread.

Bro its very well understood that its Engine oil since clutch O-Ring was replaced and what oil you replace During Every service?? And 550 is for Semi-Synth Engine oil which i replaced at 2200KM on ODO.. Can i skip Oil change at second service which is Due at 3000KM?? Now you understood?

Cheers

I think you dint read my post correctly, my point was that you mention your query properly. I understood it was engine oil when you mentioned Clutch Fork, but others, mostly newbies might no understand you. Read my post again where I have mentioned that it is a knowledgeable thread, you just cant assume that a newbie might or might not understand what you need and are here for.

My suggestion would be change it, because of warranty issues and not because it can harm your engine. Do shoot a mail to Yamaha, who knows they might call you back for a refund.

Here is a quick method to assess the fuel efficiency - 12 liter fuel tank and total 6 bars on the console means 1 bar equals roughly 2 liters. A bar starts flickering [ goes off for a time to reappear ] when 1 liter of fuel has been consumed . So, the odo reading corresponding to the flickering of the bar indicates the fuel efficiency. Yes, this is a very ' average'[pun] method but provides a quick check. There are errors, for instance, I had 10.61 liter in tank and after riding 30 km [0.61 liter= 30km; with efficiency of 50kmpl] two bars vanished, giving me a panic attack
On an another note, I got my gear lever adjusted for a more down slant position from svc. Shifting gears has now become a difficult task to do, the shifter feeling very reluctant and notchy, albeit having my chain cleaned with petrol and lubed.

First upon all sorry for late reply.Bro sorry i was busy so i am uploading now and will pm you images link.

i beg to differ. r15 v2 seat can hardly be called comfortable.
if someone's looking for a bike for daily commute and isn't into sport-riding (or posing :-P) had better look elsewhere.

personally, i got a problem with the slope in the seat. sometimes during cornering especially while going down a steep descent its very hard to prevent the body from sliding towards the tank, not good.
what's the purpose of it anyway? on the internet people some suggest that it makes it easier for shorter riders to get their feet on the ground, some say it just goes well with the design (high rear end) of the bike. i am not convinced. motogp bikes have it too so there is obviously some reason for it, just don't know what that is...

given the work involved the labor charge is justified.

i think the bill will do. changing the oil again at 3k will be like throwing away money.

i think siddhartsure's post was pretty clear, i dont know what 'confused' you. but again your 'set of rules' for this thread seems to contradict your next post where you mention 'newbies might not understand'
i think ppl have a right to ask even the so called 'petty' questions (according to you). what might be petty to you might be complicated for a newbie to figure out.
and may i ask you what was the purpose of posting a pic of your bike a few posts ago #5695? ( i dint notice anything technically/knowledgeably different in your bike from a regular r15 v2) IMO That was much more 'pettier' than the list of questions you have listed above in your post.
So chill, and let ppl ask what they want to. you can either choose to answer or ignore. We have our mods to do the clean up if the posts are found to be breaking the rules of this forum.

Thanks for the advice about correcting the seating position. Now it's a lot better. I'm enjoying the bike to the core.... After seeing my gears people slowing started to wear them, Most of them think we wear these for style.. I explained them the reason, I guess people have to be more educated in this matter. Anyway thanks for the help. My friend rode the bike and told me to adjust the fuel injection when I give for 1st service, he said it will improve the performance. Do I need to do so? I just nodded I didn't want to look stupid

Shot a complaint to Yamaha.. Got reply in 5 minutes asking me for the bill. Sent and now waiting for reply

Regd Tyre Sealant

I just did an inspection of both tyres after washing my bike.
Very small air bubbles leaked in a couple of spots.
Is it advisable to go for a tyre sealant.
Can i be sure tyre sealant will not cause any issues( corrosion or rusting ) of my rims.
If ues to the above questions, please tell me if I need to go for a specific brans and its approx cost.
I absolutely have no idea on this

you say 'ppl have their own views' and then go on to justify otherwise. no one protested about that pic and neither did anyone protest about siddhartsure's post.
i am sorry if you took my reply as a 'rant' (maybe that was 'your' view), but i was merely pointing out what was 'knowledgeable' about that pic. eshan has said this is a knowledge forum so 'petty' questions shouldn't be asked. I am asking is the pic any knowledgeable ?
I am only asking for you guys to be less 'bossy' and let ppl ask what they want and you are not obliged to reply and have the freedom to ignore. And again if you read my post, i said we have admins/mods to take care of the crap and so called 'petty' things. If you think the post is inappropriate you can as well report it.

I am sure many ppl here get PM's , and that's a different topic altogether. Dude.. this is not some 'crime' to have ppl testify. Please chill and let ppl post their views and questions.. lame or petty.
ok, i am out of this OT discussion on 'manners'.. back to biking stuff.

Got another reply ? My one experience:
In did not have a problem with warranty because i dint change the oil at service. This was with honda. i remember when my dio was new, i changed the oil at first service (i guess at around 700km) and then for the second service at 2000km (i.e. 1300km later) they themselves asked me 'sir do u want oil change? bike has run less only', so i said no and they dint have a problem. I then changed the oil at third service, and skipped at 4th service. Now after 4th service i had issues with poor mileage and then petrol leaking/overflowing. the svc was like 'come tommorow saar' for two days on the trot.
I shot a mail to honda, and they had a senior guy look in to it and sent a mech home to pick up the scoot and got it fixed. When i went to collect the bike back, the showroom guys tried to bill me, and i gave them a piece of mind about warranty and they waived the charges.

Ya got another reply asking for the Chassis no.. I don't know why they need that And about oil,u need some record that u changed oil during every service for the warranty to be intact. In your case as it is with the same SVC,you dint have any problems. The problem arises when you go to different SVC. So its always safe to have a record of oil change

cheers
