I know the owner of the bike, he has done it, I cant agree with the 173 kmph claim as I haven't seen it.

Here is a post of mine from a few pages ago related to this.

Yes, i thought that too and have already gone through tappet adjustment and the bike was running fine until this happened. Roughness is still there beyond 6.5k rpm and vibrations too are more pronounced than before.
There's one thing though i switched from Xtra premium to regular petrol from the last two refueling just to check the difference in engine performance. Could that be the cause?

i don't its the fuel. in anycase the recommended fuel for R15 is regular not premium.

i think its best to show it to a good mechanic at the SVC.
btw, have you checked the coolant level?

Yes you are right coz i use only normal petrol from the beginning and there is no engine roughness felt.
Can u suggest how to topup coolant oil. It will be good if there is some picture or video tutorial for that.

Does the fog lamp serves the purpose? Or just for show off?

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

^^Not a fog light, try it in dense fog i'll bet you'll be walking your bike, it's called a side light, parking light or pilot light all vehicles have them, usually they're used at dusk, very cloudy conditions or light rain the purpose is so other road users can see you, doesn't make much difference as nobody bothers to look anyways. I believe they were originally introduced as parking lights.

sorry for being pedantic but coolant is not oil. its essentially a mixture of etylene glycol (alkaline) and water (either premixed or mixed separately).

haven't had a need to top up the coolant on my bike so far, so can't help you there.
a top up is required if the coolant level in the coolant reservoir gets close to the low level mark (this check is to be done when the engine is cold).

check the manual, if it isn't explained there then you can download the 'yamaha R15 service manual' from the net.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Guys got my ride back

As good as new except few niggles.

Headlight is not focusing on road,its shining high. But its fitted properly as of I checked. Should I adjust the focussing screw for this?? Or its not fitted properly??

And the lower fairing ( the white part in sunset red ) is different. So yamaha sticker is missing. Can I get those stickers separately?? It kinda looks awkward

And engine is heating a lot than before. Il check the coolant though and inform

Please help guys.

Dont do the focussing yourself unless you know about it. You could mess up with the lighting. Go to svc and do it.
Go to a Local sticker shop. They will do it at a cheap rate and perfectly to your desire.

Yes, They might know. But do it in the night for better outcome. Apart from the adjusting screws you see outside, there are a pair in the inside too. Check that too. The one you can see is height adjusting only.
