the rear looks so so hotter now with nothing to cover that badass tyre...drooling even more on the bike now due to that...

however i need to clean, shine and generally pimp my bike up one of these days...havent been caring about its exterior cleanliness/shine for many months now...too many bugspots and all kinds of dust marks on the fairings etc...

if you saw it off properly then there will be a negligible gap between the two parts and the part that is connected with the saree guard the rear mudflap or whatever it is in fact a self supporting structure and can be put on separately without any need of support from the hugger.
i had cut off the hugger from the mudflap 2.5 years back and had faced two monsoons with this two piece structure(installed the cut off mudflap during monsoons and it doesnt rattles or shakes or twitches) no issues morever the hugger is necessary to prevent mud going into the shock gaps so it would be better if you used the hugger

Yes mate sadly that goes along to under cowl too... seems like need lot of changes to be done,If I opt for it.... Better let me just try and keep the same color as possible with slight addition in it and sure it will work in this way.....:thumbup:

dont worry mate, as i said earlier i will be reinstalling it when the rainy season comes back so that mud is not splashed all over the bike's rear and the monoshock...that's the primary reason i went with removing it all...had i sawed it off, i'd have been a bother every year to go buy a new one anytime it rains, and i am also too lazy to do all that that you suggested one could do even with a sawed off hugger haha.

when it's not raining, it's just dry dust in the air and ground that's unavoidable anyway but that won't cause any dirt aggregation on/in the monoshock .

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Hello friends I need to your suggestions on the below things:

1. I want to install frame sliders

would that be possible to do in between fairing?
2. Can we use NGK Iridium IX spark plug? How far that will help in bringing little more peakier acceleration & is it safe to use?

Thanks

1. It's cheaper to change fairing. The sliders are only good low speed crashes. I am not sure how much stress the sliders might cause on the chassis, but the fairing is really good at absorbing pressure and stress of a fall.

Is there a slider made for R15 specifically in the market?

2. Yes better sparks plugs do aid in better combustion, make sure you use a spit fire cable as well. But no noticeable changes will be there, I ll bet on that

Yes your right

it costs around 5k

Not sure..just want to check with you guys..

Is that so:what: very bad then...

And keen to know if this is the case for r15 users who are already using iridium sp. Then I have no option than to quit this idea....

Thanks mate cheers

Correct about the fairing. Its cheaper than having a frame slider.

No there is no solid breakthrough in making a frame slider. Even if you get it it will cause damage to the chassis n thus increasing the costs.

As you said the frame sliders only help in case of low speed slides, dropping at standstill or hard landings can cause the slider to put all the pressure concentrated on the mounting points and thus as a result lead to frame damage.

So, indeed as many say , it's better to leave the bike as it is , without the sliders.

True. Even at slow speeds or standtill drops the fairing are strong enough to take the force.
I have dropped my 2 times and the only damage was some paint knick which is barely noticeable.

My friend had a fall at 60
Kmph on his R15 v1 and the outer fairing was scratched deeply but not broken.

So to sum it up R15 fairing can take a good amount of abuse before giving away (breaking) .

How do you manage to fall on both sides at the same time?

You hinted that by using frame sliders it will save you from spending 5k to replace side fairing kit. As far as I know it costs around 2.5-2.8k. So was wondering

Regard spark plugs, the spit fire cable cost around 600bucks + cost of spark plugs.
So the cost outweighs the benefits if there is any.

Yamaha has done enough research before deciding on the current stock spark plugs for best overall performance.

Better spark plugs will give gains only if you have a big bore engine or running at a higher compression ratio.

In our single cylinder engines, these don't help much. Unless you live in really cold areas, these might help in cold starts, nothing more.
Best is to change the stock plug every 12k kms or 1 year and you are good to go.
This is what I follow

Iridium sparkplugs have nothing to do with performance. Standard sparkplugs are copper plated (correct me if I am wrong) which is a better conductor than iridium. The only reason iridium ones exist because that material lasts longer. I will have to calculate, but I think it will work out cheaper to change regular spark plugs at it's interval than use iridium ones because the price difference is a bit too much.

In fact I have a sneaky suspicion that it may affect efficiency adversely as iridium isnt as good a spark producer as copper
