Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Help please!

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Bro this has been discussed several times in this thread(even recently just 3-4 pages back). It has also been repeated many times by our members that plz use the search function before posting.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

the damn windchill man, despite the fact that i am fully covered tip to toe (hell, even in summer i am basically fully covered thanks to riding gear) with not only riding gear but sweaters inside etc...that little wind that gets through from here and there is enough to numb any feeling and fun...engine must be happy, but certainly not the rider :P

it's not so cold here standing temperature wise, but riding even at 40-50 kmph for a few minutes yesterday gave me the chills...went for a short ride yesterday thinking it felt not so cold in general and the sun was up after many days, ended up feeling hardly any fun at all on the corners or anything...at high speeds cold nulls any kind of feeling, plus reduces physical/muscle relaxation (body wants to be as contracted and contained as possible, thus resists to being loose and relaxed which is something essential in general and more importantly while cornering for instance)..when you are chilling inside due to the windchill, body is all tight and tending to contract, even shivering a bit at times and the mind dreading having come out, even the best of corners dont give any feeling and fun...

that's why not so excited about going out to the city for searching stuff just right now..will do that after some time...

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Oh. I did search but didn't find anything. Okay I'll look again. Sorry about that. Thanks!

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Where can I install handlebar risers on my bike in Delhi? My daily run is of 70kms and I really need to have a relaxed posture on.
Thanks.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

very challenging indeed, But nevertheless these sort of situations are quite relentless and often brings the best out of the true rider since you are getting used to these conditions on numerous occasions. Just Can't imagine riding without full protective riding gears on especially given the situation you are exactly in. But its little weird to go out there with full riding gears on ; in a city which known for its hot hotter hottest (chennai) weather conditions even the liquid cooled 4v is like(but r15 sees through any threat because it came from the lion's den R1 ) though, I mange to wear helmet, jacket, gloves, knee guard (depends), jean & sneakers.

Try to go long distances, I'm sure you would have done it many times or before get trapped in winter.

No hurry take your time let's see the bike styling stuffs later
cheers man:thumbup:

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Bro if you really need a relaxed riding posture first of all never buy a sports bike, go for cruisers or a commuter bike. Sports bike are never meant for relaxed riding postures and regarding the handlebar risers I strongly suggest against it as it may affect the handling capabilities of the bike.


Cheers

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

I've done 9k kms in 9 months.. But now, at high speeds my bike seems to be a little unstable..
Can I know the reason why..
I've got my tyre patched from inside as there was a pretty big hole.
Is it because of that?

[QUOTE=Suresh@yammie;1032070]Yes Yashas is dead right, there can be no adjustment done without shocks and doing do is quite devastating to the dynamics and ergonomics of the bike and often makes contact with humpy bumpy roads. Let it as is bro rolleyes:

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

in summer, most of north-central and central india (including my place) burns under the sun with searing temperatures and then massive humidity along with high temps once june hits...but those conditions dont hamper a rider wanting to ride anything anyhow, even if fully covered in riding gear and thus seemingly really hot inside (preferably the jacket is meshed, so allows for air circulation, which can be stopped if one wears a liner inside, which i do in this winter time for instance)...
but in winter, even moderately low temps hamper spirited riding due to windchill even during the day (in night windchill is brutal usually), and on top of that it can be quite foggy even sometimes in the daytime...that condition is just not for riding freely...as i said earlier, the body can't physically function well enough to have a fun filled spirited riding..all you feel is cold and nothing else which by the way even mentally is a disturbing distraction which can lead to all kinds of shit...even if you do try to have fun spirited rides, you dont really enjoy much because of all that numbing cold feeling, thus hardly anything registers in the mind as being fun..with longer rides a bit used-to-ness develops but that proper feeling and full enjoyment is never there...that's why winter all over the world (wherever it gets sufficiently cold enough) is like a hibernation time as far as racing championships, scheduled trackdays etc are concerned...none of that happens for these 3-4 months wherever winter falls well enough, particular the 2 months within..people dont feel fun enough, they feel cold enough haha..

it's alright though..i am not in any hurry...starting from about a month from now (or less), situations will be perfect for riding.

[QUOTE=Suresh@yammie;1033745]
yes! to some extend it could vanish the scratches but it won't be enough to remove it permenantly unless you use markers. All i can say if not too many scratches, jut stick to conventional coating rather than offerding expensive markers.

[QUOTE=puneetrokz;1033760]
Could u suggest me a good marker for it ?? or attach a link ??
[MENTION=67781]puneetrokz[/MENTION]:I have seen them in snapdeal and ebay but they are way too expensive, search with the keyword " scratch remover" if you really want to go for it... if you can't find them please let me know I will attach the link

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

I am using the default air filter only. The bike is strictly in stock condition. And 95% of the time my bike has more fuel than what should be for the reserve amount (the rest 5% is accounted for while going to the fuel stations ) So fuel pump should not be an issue for low fuel... Might be the Idle RPM screw setting is posing the issue...or the valve setting which might be too tight...I will go and check the Yamaha Factory Workshop, Pune to get this sorted out.. Needed insights from you all so that I can be sure that I am on the right track to analyse the issue Your insight really helped me a lot

As per the Yamaha ASC guys we should only use semi synthetic oils, which is 15W40. 300V is also of the same grade and it belongs to a different category altogether (I mean there is no comparision at all, it is the best of all FS oil). So I would not see it posing any problem. But it would be great if you can follow the grade mentioned in the Owner's manual i.e. 20W40/50. Long journeys can be done on semi synthetic only (I did return journey of Pune to Bangalore and both the times I covered the whole distance of 870 kms within 12 hrs without any problem of the engine is getting heated up. I rode for around a stretch of 250 kms within 2.5/3 hrs anfd then taking a break of 20-30 mins to one hour. And the engine running on semi never posed any issue of heating or otherwise). Yamaha has created a masterpiece in R15 and you should not have any problem running long distances as long as you are sticking to the manual and following it.

Don't worry. Just tell the ASC guys to top it up with good coolants, particularly from Motul And the manual is correct to say this, but I would suggest to replace it fully after 10K kms. (Mine got changed after 6k kms only as the stupid transportation guys dropped my bike and almost all of the coolant got leaked out). But till then I have only topped it up and not replaced it fully for the next 14k kms almost.

Thanks very much sir for your insight. I would certainly ask the ASC guys to follow the procedure as you said. But guess I had to take a whole day off from office, which will be a killer request for my manager.
