That you just need to line up the cut off by eye, use your left hand lamp as a guide.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Thats the problem..its very difficult to locate each beams.. And btw can u explain how to measure the height of high beam light/filament? Both low and high are at the same height right? Read in google about height adjustment but they have different heights for both low and high ( i mean the height marked on the wall) ...how come?

check these if u cant understand what i mean.. Its for car but how come different heights for car?



PS: Cool!! i understood Now should find a place for this..Thanks buddy for your info and i dont know why new headlight assembly comes like this

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Hi Guys,

Got my Voodoo (Yes! I nicknamed It ) on 3rd of May.

Thanks @Eshaan for helping me out.

Posting some pics of my Voodoo Doll








Very Happy to Join Yamaha Family

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Congrats bro, this shade looks nice.




Bros got all this stuff yesterday. Was little anxious to see what are the best parts to apply wax as some people said its only for tank. But the end results are awesome and now I know, just leave matte black parts and you are good to go(product should be genuine). Used every product today and got to know that my choice was good :-)

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Guys another sad thing done by my noob svc. They mounted the front tire in reverse :banghead: will there be any problem in dry conditions?? Wil change it probably within 100km. It doesnt affect the tire right??

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

No! Get it fixed right away.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Braking under wet conditions will be an issue, better get it sorted out ASAP.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Yup!! Need some time to fix. Btw no wet season now,so can I postpone a bit?? And can a gud tire shop do it properly? Removing the rim and all??

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Removing your bike tyre is a big joke in India, these guys will ruin your rim, my version,1) Go to the best tyre shop in town, 2) have them deflate your tyre, 3) apply making tape to your rim, mask the spokes aswell, 4) have them deflate your tyre, make sure they press it aswell, 5) make sure the best clown is on the job 6) ensure chief clown, applies even pressure whilst popping the tyre (if not, slap the clown) 6) Once tyre is free ensure it's turned in the proper direction, whilst it's off, allow clown to wet sand the inside of the rim (Very Important) 7) Allow clown to refit the tyre in a controlled manner, 8) once refitted, remove masking tape, 9) Allow clown or assistant clown to fit the valve and re-inflate with TLC, 10) Pay the owner and give tip to the clown if he has not scratched your rim, 11) If all is good and damage is very low, recommend this guy to your friends and remove the title clown from him, if not you should curse the fellow and demand the return of your tip. 12) Go have fun, job done!

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

That F1 wax doesn't look genuine to me. how much did you pay for it?

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Its authentication is guaranteed so no issues at that part. Its 340gm tin and costed 461 rs after discount.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0


If you might have noticed, while looking at the front tire the treads forms a 'V' profile. Note: This is for commuter tyres mostly. Track motorcycles do not have treads at all. There is a reason as why that 'V' profile is there in the first place. For tyres there are:
- Central lines (in absence of a central groove covering the central circumference of the tyre there are spaced-out overlapping treads - rotate the tyre fast and you will see a faint blackish appearance on the central part of the tyre). One of the reasons why MRF Zapper Y is a bad rear tyre is because it doesn't have a central line either by means of presence of an actual central groove/overlapping treads. Rear tyres will mostly have a inverted 'V' profile or like an 'A' profile. The rear relief of the tyre is to aid in grip mainly, increasing friction as the tyre rotates.
- Treads near the side-wall to aid in traction while the motorcycle leans on its sides.
- Different tread depths in combination with different tyre compounds for different usage of the same.
- Flat/Tall/Rounder profile tyres (tyre aerodynamics)- depending on the weight/power/aerodynamics/intended use of the bike.

Reasons:
1. Primary reason: The treads are there to increase the surface area of the tyre thereby aiding in grip and traction.

2. The front tyre is expected to 'make way' for the rear tyre to run on. Best way to test and understand this is take your motorcycle on a un-metaled road and then ride a few feet on a straight line. Notice the tread patterns on the ground. Now, one might argue that we ride on metaled roads; and why does the tyre have to 'make way' for the rear tyre at all? Well, to be frank, this doesn't apply much to on-road stuff. This physics is applicable for deep treads and off-roading mainly.

3. There is little aero-dynamics into play as well. Consider the air flow through the V-shaped grooves while in motion, keeping in mind the direction of rotation of the tyre. This in turn gives rise to the fact that not all front tyres can be used as rear tyres or in reverse fitment.
- There are quite a few tyres from Michelin/Bridgestone that can be used as bi-directional tyres/front/rear tyres. This time I am unable to remember the model number of that Michelin tyre. One of our respected member- [MENTION=28478]satyajitrc[/MENTION] had it as the front tyre (Front -Michelin, Rear- PSD 110/90 x18) on his ZMR.

4. The little road/tyre noise while cruising at good speeds on a smooth tarmac is due to the air flowing (whistling) through the treads. Heard a truck pass by on the highway? you'll get my point. Good tyres are costlier than its counterparts not just because of the compound but also due to the amount of research time gone into making of one.

Due to these, motorcycle performance is much dependent on the type of tyre your mounting. Top end/acceleration/mileage/nimbleness/etc.
Stefann has rightly pointed out the nuances while fitting a tubeless tyre on such rims. To add to that: Please take extreme precaution while mounting/un-mounting of tubeless tyres on tubeless rims.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

^^ nice info buddy. Thanks,will sort it out asap and will take of the rim while fitting

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Why is it necessary to let the selfcheck finish before hitting the starter. Its my third bike which does selfcheck but I am still unsure if these bike are so adcance to have a self checking mechanism or its just a plain gimmick. At some random points I hit the starter before letting the selfcheck finish (by mistake though). I think its a very less talked about topic here.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Dude Dude plz dont Do this in R15 or any other Fuel injected bike.. Its the time Fuel pump will prim the Fuel ( you can hear it running when you switch the ignition ON. NOTE: engine kill switch should be in on position before turning on ignition to hear fuel pump priming ) So press the the started after it completes and let it idle for few minutes before you start the bike..

Cheers
