    I'm in Delhi, if you're in the same city I don't mind you coming over to have a look.
    Thanks man, checked in DIY thread.

      Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

      I'm seeing signs of rust in some parts of the bike, one in the frame near the swingarm, and another on the inside of the top of the fuel tank. I'm a bit worried about this, especially about the one in the fuel tank.

      EDIT: I'm also looking for adjustable shorty clutch & brake levers for my R15. Has anyone ever tried these before? Where can I get a good set of such levers. I looked at ebay, there are few adjustable levers, but not the shorty ones I'm looking for.

        Yes they would. On the Ninja 250 there are already internal threads on the swing arm to install spools. Initially, when I didn't have spools, I used a bolt (longer than the depth of the threads) so that I can use the outer part of the bolt to hook the stand on. Later I opted for swing arm spools for the Ninja over ebay for a mere 500Rs .
        If you have any slot on the R15 to install spools you can order a set from ebay. You would just have to let the seller know about the diameter of the bolt you would require.
        Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

          I got rust in the same places. I just coat the rust spots with engine oil or chain lube. The rust spot on the frame is under control and almost gone but on the fuel tank filler hole its worse. I think this happens when the paint gets removed from those metal parts.

            did some kickass cornering after about 15 days of not riding the bike, a few of them pretty deeply leaned over. hands were itching and the mind was restless for it.

              Found the problem.. Today morning,idled it for 5 mins and i saw water dripping from exhaust pipe(about 10 drops, not Much)near rear brake lever.. So its water in exhaust. Now the question is can i remove the co2 checking bolt to remove water or is it sealed with some sealant ?? Or is there any way to remove ??

                Strange, water in the exhaust should have evaporated as the engine warms up. There is water somewhere, no question about it. I feel you need to open the air box and check if water seepage has taken place. You can remove the bolt and check if there is water, it should be simply bolted on and not sealed.

                  Even my bike drops water from the place where you are mentioning. Its not that water is accumulated in the exhaust system. Water from the exhaust is a normal condition. One of the byproducts of thecatalytic converter process is transforming harmful vapors into not so harmful vapors, and one of those is water vapor. The vapor will condense on the exhaust pipe walls and accumulate inside it. There is a hole in the bottom of the muffler to allow the trapped water to escape. It is also an indication of a good system. So the water dripping from your exhaust pipe near the brake lever is perfectly normal and that is not the cause for your problem.

                  Cheers.

                      Ya. Check it. However, I have a strong feeling there is water in your fuel tank.

                        Rear disc noise ,I know it happens due to dust entrapment between disk and brake pads .but why only in rear disc .I've never faced it in front disc ,noises comes randomly when water is sprayed/reaches disc assembly.

                              I have another question, do the allen screws that hold the fairing require torque wrench to tighten them?
                              PS: Yet to find shorty levers :sigh:
                              EDIT: Nvm, checked the service manual, specific torque is not required for the fairings.
