Thanks bro a lot for that detailed info. I wondered how R15 calculates the AFR if it doesn't come with an O2 sensor. Now got it clear in my head.

. So I guess I don't have to worry about the AFR while in Ladakh.

As per this line, you're saying that for touring purpose in hilly areas, where you don't throttle constantly, not having O2 sensor will have zero impact on the AFR. Am I correct to say this?

Yes!! and You dont need to worry when you go to ladakh. But you will experience power loss (Even in Closed loop Fi), Since oxygen content in air is less and fuel has been compensated for less oxygen. You might have seen many trip-logs here in Xbhp with R15.. If not,just go and check the Touring section

Thanks for correcting my assumption!

Cool. 22k kms on odo and still using SS om mine

but i am using Shell AX7 from 7k kms on odo. its better and costs little less also.

Bro, You active after a long long time..... Good to see you here

Btw, i still prefer 300V over SS ( Not tried Shell yet ). But Motul SS just gave up after 1500Km in super hot Chennai Traffic :/ Just my opinion

It is perception what makes us feel what oil makes our engine smooth and so on.
I felt this is good for the range at which I revv and am happy with this!
Will check out details about FS oils by Shell

Yamalube is also a make by Motul, all contents are same.

[MENTION=61712]ArnabC[/MENTION] i guess @siddharthsure
gave apt answe to your queries, I could have not done that much justice. And moreover adding to the last query of hill ride , R15 does reads the oxygen ratio at higher altitudes(specially talking about Ladakh), but ECU maps with O2 censors efficiently there. Better to change engine oil and run for 500kms before starting your ascend. And yes you will face frequent power loss, but that will be slightly observable, as amount of hard rev will go bit down and accelaration rate too, this is because after staying for long time at higher altitude in compressed oxygen, AFR ratio will get bit used to lesser oxygen level and so ignition will be not as good as in plains and so loss lower revs and lower power jumps.

SS Yamalube is actually just Motul 5100 that's been slightly altered as per Yamaha's demands. So it's surely the change in oil that's made your ride better.

i used to keep a tab on whats going on here sometimes, didnt post much thats all. was kind of bored of few stuffs

saw this particular discussion so posted.

and the new V2 comes with O2 sensors AFAIK . safe to say 2014 r15v2.

Knew they that but found difference riding engine with Yamalube SS and 300v of Motul so happy with it

It doesnt comes, no technical changes, and you know why I am telling

I am riding that bike.

300V is only recommended if you're riding at the track and putting your motor under serious strain. I ride my bike really hard and still use Motul 7100.

Will give a thought about Motul 7100 for the next change [emoji106]

Make sure you get the right grade though.... 20W50 is ideal for the R15.
