Any info on bike cover + frame sliders?
And 3M paint protection film?

Update

-Bike has done 3000km on the odo.
-Second free service done.
-Left side switchgear replaced under warranty due to malfunction in indicator switch.
-Valve clearance check done. (NVH was slightly above normal).

But in the recent past, (since first service) I have been noticing a small problem in the front disk. When i push the bike in slow speeds (about 3-4 kmph) there is a slight rub of the pads and the rotors. This does not happen for the full rotation of the rotor, but only in one particular area. This though rules out any possibility of dust accumulation, because if it is so, the noise should be for the whole rotation than just a part of it. Though i highly suspect that there can be a slight bend in the disc rotor. And the possibility that the rotor and pad could be misaligned, pointing out this to the chief mechanic, assured that it is normal and not to be worried about.

Though i plan on getting a second opinion in another ASC. I would like to your opinion and also if the same condition exist in your front brakes.

Ghazals to Trance!
That was a spot-on metaphor \m/

Yeah man!

Wednesday left for a ride. While returning today, it was 600+ on the ODO, so tried to enter the club! Only at 6K, I was on Ecstacy..

I can now sense when people say here, "She shows her real character after 5K", and hell yeah, she just turned me ON, left me craving for more..

First service soon at ~700, and then some house trance!

Guys a lil info needed here.

I would like to know 3 things here.

1) 0 - 60 timings
2)0 - 100 timings ( hope atleast a few have checked it. even approx figures would be fine )
3) top speed attained.

I would also be delighted if somebody would tell me the handling of the bike above 100 kmph. I sat behind a r15 v2 today. Felt the bike is awesome at handling below 100 speeds. But I would like to know the situation beyond that as we couldnt take the bike above 100 because of traffic.

Did a 135-0 panic stop. The baby dint even shiver once. It handles like nothing else. Simply superb.

@all: need a cover ppl. Any suggestions there?

I'm still completing the runin so I haven't pushed very hard. However, I did find this
YAMAHA YZF-R15 reached 150km/h - YouTube

0-100 in about 11 seconds and top between 135 to 150 depending on whether or not you have the Daytona kit installed.

Didn't yamaha guys gave you one ?
No clue on frame sliders, ask in version one ownership thread.

Get a second opinion, i have 4 v2's around me and none have such problem.

Well, i haven't had a stop watch along so can;t answer first two.

But, the first would be somewhat not that great.
Second would be good enough.
I have done 143 on three different v2's but i think you can stretch it a little more.

On high speeds, it would be better than most of the bikes. Awesome handling and flexibility at high revs. It runs like butter on highway.

You would never feel let down by this beauty.

and who says no 100+ in traffic . Just joking | or may be not.

Whaaatt? Okay,now please tell me what all you've got with the bike. EVERYTHING in detail,bro.

Thank you all for the replies .

You are absolutely right. The strong respect you show to it till 500km, will be paid back to you every time, forever.

With the stringent 5k limit, even the 6-7k range is Ecstasy as you said.
I said "even the 6-7k range", because today early morning, I took it to 9.5k in 4th (being inspired by someone here mentioning the monstrous nature that engages around 9k) and it was otherworldly.

If one rise-up from the crouch mode at those speeds, he will get a tease of how the self-eject on fighter jets would feel

Err, just the bike plus bike cover plus a yammy keyring.

Lucky, I asked for a cover and they refused saying only the keychain comes with the bike

My First Test Riding on my College mate Baby R15 V 2.0

Things that i observed while i had a chance to ride my Friend Bike ..

1. Shifting each gears & maintaining the Sixth gear at 4 k RPM is awesome while riding in busy roads ...

2. Shifting each gears & maintaining the Sixth gear at 4 k RPM and Overtaking Two wheeler's , Four Wheeler's ,Lorry and Buses in Sixth Gear @ 4 k RPM is not worthy ..

3. Shifting each gears & maintaining the Sixth gear at 5 k RPM and Overtaking Two wheeler's , Four Wheeler's ,Lorry and Buses in Sixth Gear @ 5 K RPM is 50 % OK ..

4. Shifting each gears & maintaining the Sixth gear at 6 k RPM and Overtaking Two wheeler's , Four Wheeler's ,Lorry and Buses in Sixth Gear @ 6 K RPM is Excellent .

5. If you want to lead from the Signal By leaving rest of the bikes Behind you -- > You need to shift the First Gear @ 6 K RPM to lead the 100 cc - 150 cc segment bikes , and you have to shift First gear @ 7.5 k RPM to lead the 160 cc - 223 cc segment bikes ...

6. Gear shifting from First - Second & First - Neutral is very hard ... Rest of the Gears it works Fine .

7. The Engine is silent While riding on 4 K RPM ..

8. The Engine Sound is awesome while it crosses 5 K RPM .. The Engine will be Roaring ... [ I Note these Sounds from the Gap between the Handle Bars and front forks . I guess the sound comes from the radiator ]

9. Riding at 5 k RPM it delivers a descent mileage of 40 km/liter .

10. Riding at 6 k RPM - 7 k RPM it delivers a descent mileage of 37 km/liter .

11. Riding at 7.5 k RPM and above it delivers a mileage of 32 - 35 km/liter . [ Dint check the Mileage on the Highway ]

12. I took the bike up to 132 km/hr in singles . [ Rider weight 75 Kilos ]
There was nearly half throttle left , But i dint give because a felt little fear .

13. I took the Bike up to 126 km/hr in Doubles [ Rider weight 75 Kilos and Pillion weight 81 Kilos , Total = 156 Kilos ] There was little bit throttle left , But i dint give because the Bike din't attain speed if i open full throttle

14. The Fairings gets hot after a 3 km Ride in Traffic .. [ Gears used 1st , 2nd and 3 rd ]

15. There was a agile handling even at the corners .. i was able to corner the bike at 70 km/hr without any fear with pillion ..

16. Braking is Excellent ..

17. Radiator Fan din't kicked on even riding on Bumper-Bumper traffic , But the the fairings and the side black fiber part and fuel tank was HOT ..

18. Horns are excellent ..

19. The Stock 3.5 Amps Battery doen't have the juice to Run "2" Electrical systems at a time .. [ While on using High Beam , if you blow the horn its tone changes and when we start our bike we can hear one sound from beneath the fuel tank , if you apply the Front / Rear Brake that sound also changes .. My friend is planning to change the Stock 3.5 Amps battery to 9 Amps Battery ..

20 . His Bike is going to complete 600 km's s on ODO ..

21. His Bike is 50 th Anniversary Limited Edition and Maintaining the bike is quite difficult .. He will clean the dust form the bike every Night otherwise the Bike looks Little dirty

22. Till now No Servicing had undergone ..

Note-I hope you all din't get bored by reading my Long story .. This is all my Personal experience in my Friend's Bike .. Comments are appreciated

Conclusion -
This is a Perfect package in the 150 cc Segment . Pillion Rider seat is slightly Inclined towards the Rider .. But, My self or my Friend or my Mom din't face any issues .. This bike is Value or money and You won't regret it , It is a head turner .. Performance - 9.5/10 , Suspension- 9.5/10 [ only For Riding Solo ] & 8.5/10 [ Riding with a pillion ] Build quality/Looks- 10/10 , Handling-9.8/10 , Mileage 8.5/10

My Questions -

1. Do the Mileage differs when we drive the bike in Different RPM Limits ?

2.The Bike Engine sounds little harsh , after riding 3 km on No Roads .. Is this common or all R15 or whats the problem ?

3.A sound " Tuck " arises from the chain , When i Shift the gear and when i accelerate a Sounds Appears . What is that ? Any Problem ?

4.Some Fins are bent in the radiator , Any problem ?

5. The Bike is very sluggish if we overcome a speed breaker and then if we open little throttle means the accelerations is very sluggish as other Moppets/Bikes were leading us .. Is this common on all R15 ? or Whats the problem ? Should i have to open Half the throttle ?

Last but not the Least

Well , I'm still waiting for my 50 th Anniversary Edition ..

Cheers S.V.Prasad

Always Ride with Complete Riding Gears and Don't Violate the Speed Limits
