Every bike has its own positive and negative points so no use in comparing on an exclusive thread meant for a particular bike.
If you want to target a particular bike then this isn't the right place!
If at all you want to advise by comparison then PM the member himself.

Fine but you could decide for yourself after getting the facts from different bike's threads!

Both the bikes are fairly refined and doing triple digit speeds for 1 hour is no big task for both the bikes.

Having a paddock stand is fun if you're leaving the bike for display. but for servicing, you need 2 people to get it on the paddock stand. Yes there are ways of getting it on the paddock just by yourself, but you screw up n your bike is on the side, probably with a scratched or cracked fairing!! RX135 stand FTW!

What you are doing is wrong. You are lugging the engine by riding in 6th gear at 40-45km/h.
What you should do is keep an eye for the RPM's and not the speed. Keep the rpm's under 5k and everything should be fine. Too much babying is equally damaging as ripping.
Read this thread for more.

ohhh ya actually i was going through the thread n read other forums by googling also

anyway thanks a lot for the help

Well it's engine rpm, not the bike speed which is under concern during breaking period. You have to keep the bike under 5k rpm range under breakin period. however small bursts above 5k, during overtaking are permitted. Bike can do 70-80kmph easily on 6th gear under 5k. It's just don't shoot it to limit, go easily gradually increasing the speed. The idle shift range should be 3k for 1-2 gears and 4k for 3-4-5 and 4.5-5K for 6th. Engine feels much refined at 6th gear, but dont do that for long time under 5k as it will lug the engine.
btw you'll always have the manual, go through it and you'll find all your doubts cleared.

Never trust digital fuel meters, they show random values at times, and may not be accurate most times, now tmrow maybe the level will drop by 2 bars. Just make sure you keep almost half tank of fuel always, just to make sure , you don't get stuck anywhere.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

just curious. does this bike have tubeless tyres? if not then how do they get the tyre out from the bike for puncture repairs with only side stand...

Every bike above 1L₹ in Indian scenario is tubeless (Except Re)
For puncture repair of tubeless, tyre is never taken out of rim. It takes 30 sec to fix a puncture. Even you can do that if you have the necessary tools which can be brought off market @100₹ .
Google tubeless tyre puncture repair and see one or two YouTube videos.
Yes only side stand will be pain in the fass if you want to lube chain, puncture repair, servicing etc.
So get yourself main stand, costs 700₹ (and labour of 50₹)
And rev tyres are puncture magnet, so always carry tubless repair kit on long runs. I had to waste 4 hours and bear 6 punctures on Delhi- neelkant trip on r15 .(fool of me to forget my kit)
