Don't know the gentleman, so have really nothing to say or form an opinion from.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

why getting so agitated ? i think it's you working on your reflex man. it appears from your very first post in this topic how agitated you are to show inaccuracies in people's post or prove them wrong. maybe you are highly experienced, so instead of writing posts that sound like you are shouting at someone, you can simply write straightforward posts with your opinions or suggestions..i merely pointed out in my previous post that if you mean mineral oil by saying conventional oil, then that particular point in mobil's FAQ is not relevant here because no one is talking about mineral oils and that FAQ talks mineral vs synthetic primarily...and then i merely asked if you'd confidently suggest someone to start using FS oil in a new bike and you take it to be me trying to prove you wrong. lol, maybe i should have put a smiley or something after that question to imply no one is shouting at you or trying to prove you wrong..

i can hardly prove anyone wrong at the moment, my bike is 20 days old and this is my first bike, so basically i am like one month old to having an actual experience in motorcycling..if you follow this thread regularly then you must have observed how many newbie level questions (and the ensuing discussions, if any) i have asked here in the last few weeks, which if you read will automatically imply nothing i say or ask here is to prove anyone wrong unless i am too damn sure about something, which i hardly am about hardly anything so far..all i am doing is either asking questions, or saying what the SVC guys told me.

right after posting my previous post for the first time, i edited the post and removed the team bhp reference (before you probably even started writing your reply), for the reason that it said whatever it said in the context of synthetic VS mineral oil, and as i already said, i (or anyone else) wasn't talking about mineral oil here so mineral oil issues are not relevant here..yet you go and reply regarding the team bhp reference.

it appears i really should have put some smileys in my previous post.. else you seem to take straight questions as confrontations on you instead. i do apologise for that.

what ? :O every bike has a break-in period...even the R15 manual says to follow certain restrictions within the break-in period (which is roughly 30 days or 1000kms or the first servicing, whichever is earlier).. all that that mobil FAQ point says about break-in is that in modern bikes it's not at all required to use conventional oil (mineral oil or whatever) during break-in, as opposed to the bikes of old times where apparently it was the common practice to use conventional mineral oil during break-in...the point does not say not to follow a break-in period at all..

i hope you followed your bike's break-in restrictions (RPM restrictions and all that).

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

^^^ Like I said, I have no axe to grind with you... So chill... As far as your take on my trying to prove someone wrong, I have just pointed out some facts and have absolutely no interest in mud slinging or putting someone down, i come to this forum because i love bikes and have been riding them and working on them for 27 years. I come here to learn and share my experience.

Now, here is something that you may know or may not know, nevertheless, I will state it. Facts remain facts, it's irrelevant that one may not like them or feel bad or get emotional, or it hurts one's ego. It's irrelevant to them that this is one's first bike or this is the 50th bike. So either one take take them at face value or one can believe whatever one want. It's one's call totally and its a free country, so please chill and believe whatever you want, it's no shirt off my back.

Why does everything have to end up in a fight here?? :-o :P

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

[MENTION=62910]aditya_YZF-R15[/MENTION]: Kindly stop polluting the thread with irrelevant arguments/comebacks/defense/explanation/apologies (whatever you'd like to term it). Thanx.


[MENTION=28149]kotty4u[/MENTION][/MENTION]: As Ronnie said, all tyres are weak on wet conditions. But the ones on R15 are a set one can vouch for. If you were to delve into this thread you'd find photos of [MENTION=14085]Eshan[/MENTION] who took his bike to the ghats during these monsoons and is seen cornering as they say, like a boss.



Because some newbies just refuse to shut up.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

I have been using a PSD on the rear and a IRC on front on my V1. If I were to compare apples to apples, I would say I would have been better off with stock MRFs. Not that these are bad. No, not at all. Its just that the suspension is dialed in to these MRFs and they do give slightly more feedback compared to the PSD and IRC. I have no complaints with the PSD and IRC as far as grip or traction is concerned. But, next time, I will try harder to find a set of stock MRFs.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

It's just a forum.. I think we should be mature enough to not take things personal..

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

yeah well, sorry for your inconveniences..apparently it was me who took it personally and started shouting at someone, when all i did was write what some svc guy told me, then got asked if i can claim this or that at which i honestly said i cant claim anything and it's obvious people, or at least inexperienced ones, will tend to believe what their svc guys tell them, and then apparently i was trying to prove someone wrong.

anyway..newbies should indeed shut up in a forum except when asking questions..there go I.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Dude I'm not pointing out at anyone.. What I said goes for everyone.. And yes... I think its a bad idea to ask questions here if it gives rise to so many ego clashes....

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

[MENTION=58394]Sher[/MENTION]yzee.. [MENTION=62910]aditya_YZF-R15[/MENTION]..
dudes chill out.. no more fighting.. this tends to take away the productiveness of the thread..
even if someone says anything harsh to you, why reply them back in the same manner.. behaving like kids is not a good thing..
the thing saying "inexperienced riders should keep quite" doesn't seem to brighten the thread.. if any senior member says anything, just tell them what you really meant.. getting agitated won't get you anywhere..
so peace out and carry on the tech talks

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

HI

V2 is heavier then v1 by 5 kilos..There is not much difference but on highway v1 defeats v2...not much difference though.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

You wont find any posts from me which indicates harshness to anyone. What you are trying to say is exactly the same thing that I want to say..lets stop categorizing as newbies, experienced, etc. And if someone is wrong, I think its better to correct them politely rather than having harsh posts insulting them..

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

hey, no no, my previous post wasn't at you either.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

most such things between 2 bikes the differences between which are not massive in a certain situation (in this case, highway riding) depend largely on the riders who are riding them...just the fact that v2 is heavier than v1 doesn't mean anything by itself and so it's not necessarily a reason as to why v1 may or may not be faster on highways than v2 by a small margin.....there are several other differences between the two versions and all aspects are together playing their roles when you are riding a bike...

and anyway, v2 has been found to have higher acceleration and top speed than v1 according to most pro reviews as well as rider reviews from riders who have owned both of them.
