I think they are a direct fit atleast that's what I have heard.[/QUOTE]

Ok man, i'll give it a try.
and thanks for helping , By the way, you do chain cleaning and lubricating by your self ?

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

had a great ride today in terms of cornering..finally found a place that has a few nice corners that are mostly empty, not blind (sparse tree covering on the roadside) thus rendering the way ahead (corner exit) visible fairly clearly and with good road construction ..it's a bit far, but not that far, and much nearer than that other place with some kickass corners on the hills in MP where i went 2 weeks ago only to find out the road was disfigured and semi-broken for the most part..

also, had an absolutely stupid ****ing crash on the way back...no, not while cornering or speeding through or anything where one would expect crashes...but from a speed of about 10kmph or so behind a van..won't even describe it, it was that stupid and embarrassing...so pissed at myself for that...me in riding gear (and also slow ass speed and not falling on the path of any incoming vehicles) as always meant not even a mark of the crash anywhere on me but the right fairing of the bike off is scratched even more that it's now visible from a distance...totally need to find some place here where they paint up bikes to cover up the hideous scratches..so so stupid a crash, ruined the happiness i had about finally finding some empty corners.

will be away for 15 days from tomorrow and the bike will be left unmoved and freezing in this winter here all those days.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

No, but thinking about doing it myself. That's one of the reasons why I want to get the center stand.

@aditya_YZF-R15 that's too bad. Glad that you are safe. Even I had a crash with mine, though that was a while back. There are some scratches in the left fairing, but not that its too visible though, that too from a distance or in the night.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

I know why that incident happen, most chances are that your concentration was diverted to something else and you took that speed and distance very carelessly and crash happened.....even this shit happens with me most of the time if my concentration on road is diverted to some roadside thing.....i always scold myself.......kameene road par dhyan de...

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

yes i was diverted towards the flash of the fuel in reserve to see how many kms it had been in reserve. ..lol

shit nearly happens all the time, but still once in a while i guess one has to fall down to have some concrete example/memory to talk about later in life hehe..

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Few weeks back, I scratched my tank with riding jacket. Can someone suggest me some branded tank pads and where to buy them in Delhi?

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

finished with another service yesterday at Bangalore wheels, rajajinagar, about 14kms from my home, went early morning at 8.30 and got bike at 5pm, bunked office lol.

things done: 1.oil change- Shell AX7
2. Oil filter change
3. air filter change
4. put a back up clutch cable for emergency situations if the cable breaks.

bill was around 1100rs.

was very pisd with the amount of TAX we pay for poor roads.

KMS done: 14.9k

was standing half'a meter from the bike while the servicing was being done. was having a chat with the mech on what he was doing he showed me where the oil filter goes, saw first time an oil filter :P he even showed me how to connect the clutch cable if it breaks. Adjusted chain slackness infront of me. job done well. but little late, he had loads of work to do on another bike. he appreciated me for maintaining the bike well said sprocket was good, tyres are good (given to the amount of rides i do and also ripping )
bike is super smooth now. ride it to believe it. good response to throttle. all set for the mega ride to valparai by month end. bike was shining like a new bike


big drama happened outside the SVC when a guy came in with a autowala, auto guy had hit him on the rear, and the r15v2's rear left panal beside seat was broken. both were on fire when the estimated bill came upto 3.5k

saw a r15v2 damaged beyond repair. will post pics later. was a very bad sight to see. and also an r1 which was there after an accident but couldnt take its pics.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Hope both the riders were safe.

How is the Shell AX7 compared to the Yamalube SS???

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Much much better.

Cheerz!!

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

No idea about the riders.

Yes, shell is better. Ride my bike to believe it. its butter however i wanna add that, in neutral, when i accelerate little around 3k to 4k rpm, there is little vibe near that carbon fiber panel on the sides. when riding its not there.

here are few pics

the damaged r15v2 (found this little funny in humorous way) must have had a bad fight



full view


the damaged r1, take a close look at the front, there is nothing :/


thats me checking the rear wheel rotation. (pic is little blurry, a fried had taken this)

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

^^ damn.. Nothing left in the front part. what might have happened to the rider.!
mindles noobs, they think by owning a sports bike, they get the right to make our Indian roads into race tracks.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Looks like the R15 had a more severe crash than the R1. There is nothing much left in the front and the right side of the bike.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

i wouldn't judge like that without knowing any detail about the incident...for all we know, the rider might have been going as slow as the traffic around him and someone else just came and hit him from nowhere...or maybe he made a terrible mistake while riding normally and not too fast as if on a race track...so many other possibilities...accidents just happen with or without one making the road one's own race track. :-)

besides, i think we all treat (and have treated) some of our indian public roads as something of a track to ride too damn fast at some point or the other (when it's fairly empty and etc) :-)

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

ya, i agree with aditya. I have seen a crash, where a guy was waiting on his bike and another one came from nowhere, lost control and cashed.
Anyways, went for a small ride early in the morning. Around 295 km on open highway max. at 146kmph. Man, she very stable and under total control at that speed.
Here are few photos

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Ya, i am not judging. We all are learning, but i tell you, out of 10 R15 i see, 8 bikers are riding in a rash way. I said the above thing based on that.
The poor guy may be a responsible one, and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time..
