Re: Idling

You did anything special?? Like oil change or you driving after long time R15 is always vibe free

Re: Idling

i do that too mate

if by those speeds you mean post 125-130 kmph, well, i go to those speeds once or twice a week or two for a few minutes on the expressway...if by long time you mean times in the scale of an hour or more, well haha no, havent done that yet

also, i full throttle at any gear only in the expressway (thus, only once or twice in a week or two for not long times)..in the highways usually (rather, almost always) my highest attained speeds are below 110-115, particularly in the 2-lane roads, infact it's 80-105 most of the times and i attain those speeds not via full throttle but via either gradual throttle pull or via taking the throttle to 70-90% of its max at once, depending on situations and/or my mood.

i'd like to disagree with it, despite not having enough experience according to the manual (if you take it to be a guideline), only between 500kms odo and first service it's not advised to cross 7.5k for prolonged periods of time..but once first service has been done and the break-in period of the bike is over, i think it not negative going over 7.5 k for prolonged periods of time and riding in the 7000-9000/9500 for prolonged times should be fine.

seniors correct me as well if the above is wrong.

148 in the night ? :O the road lighting must have been great.

care to elaborate on this a little please ? i get that too (not often) but i can't find any other reason for that apart from the little invisible irregularities or undulations of the road surface..or at least i make myself believe that.

love the feeling of a slight wobble at high speeds though every time that it's happened so far has been another reason i amaze at the bike's stability against such perturbations.

not mine at low gears mid-high RPMs. :|

Re: Idling

Using Shell AX7. i ride the bike almost 29days out of 30 or 31 days a month

1. Nope. the NICE road does not have lights except at Toll gates. its pitch dark at few places. good thing was that most of us had projectors, except me. on this road there is 99.99% chance that there will be someone crossing the road or animals cross because its not a street road. Fun part was taking those curves in pitch dark after the toll gates. Bangaloreans will know what i am talking about :P

2. Minor wobble: first thing you need to know is that r15 does not wobble by itself, the rider needs to compliment the bike on bad roads. if you put more pressure on either clip-ons then there is chance of wobbling. in my case i have problems with handling due to issues with wheel alignments n other stuff. this happened in curves and not on straights. the wobble was not of front suspension but due to the uneveness of rear. i could feel it.

3. i believe sid was talking out of love for r15 do not take it so seriously that you start finding faults with yours. the word VIBES differs form person to person. when i said no vibes i was talking about higher RPMS and higher gears, especially from 3rd to 6th and between 5k rpm to 10k rpm. i always ignore minor vibes i get at 1st gear and 2nd gear between 6k rpm to 10k rpm because its like stressing the engine a lot.

Re: Idling



Please reply people!!!

Re: Idling

I got one Allen key, one screw driver, three spanners and a spark plug tightener. I think you are not offered all the tools bro

Cheers!!!!

Re: Idling

yeah about my slight wobbles once in a while, i am pretty sure it's because of the slight invisible road irregularities.

yeah no vibes at all at high gears mid-high RPMs. smooth and composed like a beauty.

Re: Idling

Used 300v?? If yes, can you compare the experience of both?

Also can I get the small screw like projection that is at the bottom of rider footpeg ( used to scrape I guess) separately or should I get the entire foot peg?? Mine is missing on RHS footpeg

Re: Idling

Thanks for the info man!!!
I'll go to the asc tomorrow and screw those guys for it....

Re: Idling

Guyss what is the cost of the r15 emblem on the exhaust???

I lost mine

Re: Idling

It was Rs.50 when the bike was launched.

Re: Idling

not used that 300v

yes you can get that screw separately. no idea abt cost

Re: Idling

I'm moving to a different country (Bahrain) and I'm selling my baby It's only 6 months old and only ran 500+ Kilometers it's red white.

Re: Idling

today went to the ASC for the toolkit issue...
told then about the tools missisng...
they told sorry sir we gave you the Fz tool kit..
Got it replaced and now satisfied with the tools available..

3 Spanners,
2 allen keys,
1 spark plug tightener,
1 screw driver

but no plier..

Re: Idling

This screw like thing is known as peg-feeler. Its function is to let you know that you are leaning to the maximum extent.

Re: Idling

When I had the r15 it was available separately but was for around 100bucks I think. So I decided to switch to that of the FZ16. They were for 30rs. I guess the material is different but I wanted to scrap it anyway, so didn't mind choosing the 30rs option.
