    I was riding around in the city calmly and suddenly the yellow light showed up on the instrument panel. I reached home turned off the ingition.

    Here is what the showroom guy told me about the yellow light ' If ever the yellow light is on , stop the bike , put it in a trolley and get it to the SVC
    I'm not sure about the credibility of this but just in case
    At the end it might even be just a small technical snag . don't ride your bike until you figure out what it is
    The equation is simple mate,If you can't REDLINE ​it you don't deserve it.

      Ideally, to get the maximum benefit you will need to modify the fueling. With the LV Corsa and no fueling change your bike will run a little lean in some areas of the power band (as a general rule it will happen with any FFE). Overall, the ECU has enough flexibility to compensate for this increased flow for it not to be a problem. While there is no O2 sensor, it still has a air mass sensor which measures the mass of air being inducted into the engine. However, this also depends on bike make to bike make and their design of FI and quality of fuel maps.

      Now, the case of R15 with full LV Corsa, the bike runs lean in the 3,000 to 4,000 rpm range and this creates a flat spot in the power band. The flat spot is pronounced enough that you will feel as if the bike has suddenly lost power and is bogging down. After 4,000 rpm there is a very healthy punch in the power band. It really starts to fly. For power and torque gains check out the dyno chart for the exhaust on the Leo Vince website. If you want to eliminate the flat spot then fueling has to be modified.

        1. When standstill The front brake lever is not engaging smoothly. There is some resistance as if something is struck.

        2. When bike is running, if I press front lever,it is opposing my pressure. This happens in sequence like I apply- will oppose-will brake-will oppose- and goes on. Just like abs when you try to lock the wheel.

        And braking power is seriously reduced due to this

        So is it due to airbubbles or caliper prob?
        Like Teejay mentioned, get ur disc overhauled caliopers checked, also any air bubbles if present will cause it. Check the Disc assembly kit,there are springs here and there might happen that a small spring (due to which the brake leveer gets to its original position) has chickend out. Same stuff happened with my P180. One question on this. Does at any point when you apply the brakes, the lever gets stuck there at whatever position it is ?


        On another note, have not heard from Kuntal in long. Also Ron, I hope your saddle was good for the weekend ride after 'humpty dumpty had a great fall on his Bum'

        To all those how-to-run-in-the-bike-oh-it's-so-confusing. Here's an advice.
        Read and follow the OWNER's Manual. Keep it simple.. Old School technique will do more good than harm your bike

          btw [MENTION=52685]Sorcerer's apprentice[/MENTION] - gear shifting sweet spot just beyond 6000 RPM in my bike as well. around 6100-6200 to be precise.

              LOL thats a cheeky way of putting it, FYI i am not "humpty dumpty" :P

              nope man , couldnt go. guys backed out and also weather in bangalore is so horrible. :/

              BTW my brakes are working fine now. they were very sharp before. now i feel like loss of braking power which means they are set after a good 300kms

                    ya its cloudy and small showers but if you want a wet ride, then this is the perfect condition i think.
                    i had few rides and liked em. roads are wet but visibility not much reduced. so liked it.
                    Get out with a mindset to get wet and enjoy, then you will love it.

                        ya , its not that i dont like rainy rides. just that for certain rides i dont like rains. if it was short ride i wouldnt mind but i had plan of 700kms single day ride so didnt wanna start it off with rain. and when curvy roads are involved i dont like wet situations riding r15

                                As long as you yourself are not getting wet, riding in the rains is delightful. Added benefits are that overall traffic is low and chances of people/ animals walking on / crossing the roads is minimal. If only someone could suggest a way to keep our feet dry, it would be even better.
                                Plus, the kind of grip the stock MRFs provide durign riding/ braking in wet conditions is phenomenal.
