        Drilled holes and tapped in the handle.. Take care because there is a supporting beam in the bottom side, make sure you don't drill into that.. Being aluminum it is easy to drill..

          It does splash.. I had cut back half of the tyre hugger and retained the other half it splahed a lot.. After riding a couple of times in rain I was embarrassed and I put it back.. I wouldn't recommend removing the tyre hugger..

              Hello guys,

              I recently noticed some Billet Aluminum clutch and brake levers on some R15's at the service centre. First glance, I'm sold. Also, the brake fluid reservoir cap in billet aluminum. They absolutely look amazing.

              If any of you have installed them, can you please let me know where you have sourced them from. Also, any internet links to the site would be helpful if sourced from internet.

              Lastly, the installation, is it a DIY for a rookie? I will be going through YouTube videos once I buy it, are there any points I need to remember when I install them?

              Thanks.

                [MENTION=65140]rishi1994[/MENTION].. These are available at Yamaha service center only. The levers cost some ₹2400 and the brake reservoir cap for some ₹700.
                But mind you, these levers are not adjustable.

                Ride safe and have fun.

                  Yamaha stopped providing Daytona kit, that is what I heard from a mechanic, if at all you are doing it you will have to get it done by an experienced mechanic.. If not done properly it leads to series of problems, performance definitely improves with complete modification.. Remapped ecu, intake, exhaust, big bore, can shafts and brakes..

                    Thankyou so much for an immediate reply. I had been through an old yamaha site that listed these accessories and other apparel, and it was around the time Version 1 was launched.

                    Thing is, the service centre at Thane does not stock them. Only once had I seen a pair of blue levers.
                    I will enquire again if they can be ordered at the service centre though.

                      No, Yamaha still provides Daytona kits. But these are only on order basis. Want one, give the svc your order and they will provide it.
                      Had mailed to Yamaha last month inquiring about daytona kit availability and they replied with this.

                      You should ask the svc. They will surely have these. I have seen these levers in almost every showroom.

                        does it void the warranty if an owner stops servicing the bike at the SVC (and does it himself instead) ?

                        no man, it doesnt splash heaps of mud and water on the rear light...only a little bit gets splashed over it but not nearly enough to compromise/shadow the red light coming out of it...however it does splash a lot on the bike body part just over and above the rear tyre (below the seat area).

                        i have removed the whole rear mudguard...so all of rear tyre is exposed...so in my case it splashes a shitload of mud water on the below the seat area of the bike and even quite a bit all the way to the monoshock and some of it on the nearby areas around the monoshock which includes a section of the chain...if it's too much then i just clean the monoshock area a little bit...and yes it will splash quite a bit to the pillion too...not at all on the rider though.

                        so that's why i put it back on when rainy season arrives...that was the main reason of not cutting the mudguard in half but rather removing it fully so that when needed (such as rainy days etc) i can put it back in 10 mins..

                        since most of the year is not rainy, the ocassional splashing of the muddy water from the water spilled over the road is no bother...however if it starts raining a lot or very regularly i gotta attach the hugger back.

                        yes it looks very sexy with the rear tyre half-exposed (mudguard cut in half)...even more too damn sexy IMO when all of it is exposed (when the mudguard has been fully removed).

                          Yes, only if the bike hasn't completed one year from date of purchase and also if the owner hasn't taken any warranty extension on his bike. Else, not an issue.

                            That's nice.. I inquired in a ASC few months ago.. They told me it is stopped...
                            Does ASCs fit the kit themselves or it has to be done outside?

                              Don't know that. I had inquired for my fz and got the reply. They even sent me the part number for it to order. Naturally they will fit it themselves.

                                i see...that's good news for me then...my bike is over 14 months old and all the first 6 services had been done at the SVC and i had also taken that warranty extension at the time of buying the bike. .shouldn't be any issue then.
