    Thanks a tonn..
    You mentioned about the oil and oil filter change at 150-170km. Do SVC guys do that? Any special oil to put in or continue with Yamalube?
    There is no better therapy than riding a bike down a straight road at full throttle with the sound of the engine for company.

      Yes. SVC guys will change the oil and oil filter. They will charge you though but given the long term effect, I think it is well spent.

      I have around 30K+ ODO reading in my bike and I have only used Yamalube, till date. Once I used Shell Ultra Advanced FS oil but only for around 4K kms. I havn't faced any issue with Yamalube till date and my bike still works as it did the first day.

      Ride a motorcycle if you want to live free, but above all ride it safe and make others' lives safe.

          Congratulations for the new bike bro,
          May I suggest something.....
          Ask your dealer about the Yamaha protection plus plan. It costs about 700 bucks and it is a type of insurance for about 153 most important parts of the bike. The most important components like sensors, computer chips, ecu, fuel injection system and many more important parts are insured against manufacturing defects.In my opinion 700 rupees is not expensive to insure the most vital parts of your bike, because Yamaha spare parts are expensive. And premium parts like ecu and sensors cost too much.
          So I would advice you to go for the Yamaha protection plus. Ask the dealer for more info.
          Once again congrats and Welcome to our club.
          Happy mile munching.
          I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

            Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

            Got the bike today amidst the heavy Mumbai rains. They gave me a Teflon coat free. Also got the extended warranty & a parking cover free. Upon coming home I realised the left mirror is loose and also wanted to ask you fellas, is the under cowl, the lower most one which falls near the rear brake pedal a little too soft compared to the left side one? I found it has more play than the left side which appears more hard. I mean it flexes more than the left hand side one.

            The stock MRFs don't seem that inspiring to ride in the rains compared to say Michelins or other better ones. Any better upgrades apart from the Metzelers? Also, any good cleaners for all the aluminium and steel parts?

            Will appreciate your inputs.

            Cheers!

                  Yours is a new bike mate, let the tyres settle in. New tyres from any make will have less grip. Let the upper polished layer wear off, then the tyres will be all set to go. The stock MRF tyres on R15 are realy good, both in dry and wet conditions.
                  Ride safe and have fun.

                    nah, speaking from my experience the stock tyres in R15 offer (surprisingly) solid confidence in the wet and other questionable road grip situations..

                    as nadz11 said above, let them get ridden a bit and settle in.

                      Thanks for the info.. Will take the protection plus plan then.

                      Apparently the truck bringing the bike to the dealer's warehouse broke down and is taking time getting repaired. So I did not get the bike yesterday. Getting her today also seems a distant possibility.

                      Does anyone have any prior experience in dealing with Pearl Yamaha, Kondapur, Hyderabad?

                          The left side RVM is intentionally kept little loose. You can notice when you park your bike on side stand, left side RVM extends further as compared to right side one. If some one accidentally collide with it, and it is kept in hard setting, than this might cause damage to the RVM. In the current setting, it will simply turn, preventing any damage. Still if you feel it's too soft you can ask the svc guys, they can tighten the bolt holding the RVM.

                            Dont worry, she's on her way, a few more hours wait wont hurt much, I used to get myself drowned in work at the office when I was waiting for mine...
                            3 days felt like 3 bloody years. Happy waiting.. enjoy.

                              Well, we cant comment or advice you on the cowl problem without checking. There may or may not be a problem. What I would suggest is that, the next time you go for the service, take a look at the other R15s standing there. If the service station and the showroom are quite close, go to the showroom and check the bikes there. If they all feel the same. Problem solved. If not ask the service station guys about it and get it replaced.

                                Yes the right hand side lower most cowl is loose, I checked it on other bikes. But I noticed one real issue. My rear indicator unit and the tip which juts out from the rear number plate is misaligned and doesnt appear straight when seen with the rear tyre guard. Will they replace this because it indeed is genuinely 'teda!'
