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.

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

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 a lot for the info, Bro! Hope you get your bike back in a perfect condition ASAP! Cheers!!!

I have two white L.E.D's installed in the front which i use during normal driving whether night or day. So as usual, came back home from college which takes me nearly 30 minutes and parked the bike. I realized that the number plate light is also the same as those on the front and just wanted to take a clear look at it(still using the stock light, wanted to change it to LED's) and so i bent down to look at it and when i touched the casing(the plastic that covers the number plate light) on the top, it was FREAKING hot that i almost literally burnt my fingers!!! Trust me guys... I tried touching it again and it seems impossible to touch it for more than two seconds!!! But all the lights, indicators etc etc work fine and there was no burning smell or visible clue!! Is this just normal and the same in your rides too or is something spooky here in mine? Eagerly waiting for your responses!!!

l
Nothing to worry about, its normal .
Why not change that also to an led.

Try touch the front disc rotor after some hard riding, it will definitely burn your fingers

It's the rear disc rotor that gets heated up... the front gets warm though

When you say that, I hope you don't mean you prefer using the rear brake more than the front. Use the front brake as much as possible. Rear brakes don't help in slowing the bike down. It's just an assist to the front brake.

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...

Guys my front brake has become soft.. Doesn't bite like it used to. Done 10.5k km on that brake pad and i have attached the pic. No metal scratching sound when i brake,time to replace??

You are doing it wrong.
what i do in this kind of situation is simple, don't ride slow........
ride hard, very very hard, the idea is to get your blood circulation higher. really work hard on bike, lean more, more body movement on bike, ride fast, as fast as possible, this will make your head focus more and adds to increase the blood flow all over.
also breathe more (heavily)
this tips may sound weird, but trust me it works, (i don't have a problem if it is winter or rain, i am evaready for a ride even w/o a glow or jacket )

10.5k?? Are you serious? My god. I am done ~9.3k on odo and have me 4rd brake pads on.
I think you can do some more kilometers. Bleed your brake once.
At the time of replacement replace oil with dot4 and it will be better.

Ya... I squeeze my front brake harder than rear, but rear worn out at 8k and front still going and already replaced with dot 4 at around 7k km on odo.

Me too
Try pumping slowly which makes you feel better. I do it always. I also have got steel braided front brake hose. I feel much better now.
I don't know if the better feeling is derived out of new pads I got while I got steel hose installed.

P220 steel line?? And anyone knows whether cafe racer steel lines(front) are direct fit for R15??
