Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Sometimes the reason and logic fails you. These are the moments when rationality is hard to define, senses elude us and we find ourselves treading on a thin line between madness and lunacy.
Happened to me today. What else can you call it.
Sold my 2009 r15 3 months back (for reasons which are beyond my understanding now) and today lo and behold a new one finds it's way home. The old one served me well, was a lovely machine. Looking forward to fruitful time with this one too.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Can someone help me with the price of R15 V2 Timing chain tensioner price. My bike had a strange noise for the past 10,000 kms SVC guys were not able to find and rectify it. Recently I met a mechanic who tunes yamaha bikes for racing and he found that the tensioner is not working properly and needs a replacement. Is it normal or anyone had to change it like me ?

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

bro this sounds like great idea,,,, u removed it completely and then when situation demands so u put it back on,,,, is it so easy to do that,,,, ?? what its like all we have to do is just unscrew some bolts ,,tats it,,,?? u took off whole saree guard and rear tyre hugger ,,,??

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

now one brother is saying they dont one saying they do,,,,, any of u bros done the Daytona modification,,,, what wd be the whole cost of it,,, i mean i really felt it being underpowered beyond 117kms,,, it takes like hours to accelerate further,,,, i am like buying a whole new bike with more power,, then on the other hand i dont want to replace my love ,,, does Daytona really gone serve my purpose,,,if it is really available around,,,,,??

Re: Yamaha R15 V2 Issues and fitting Free Flow Exhaust system.

Hey guys,

Need inputs for installing the official Yamaha Billet Aluminium levers for my red R15. Are they still stocked? Also, any good brand which makes those super awesome adjustable clutch levers? I also heard some users installing a volt meter for the battery. Any idea where this could be found? Last but not the least any one here installed fork stabilisers? How is the feedback?

Inputs will be mighty appreciated as always!

Re: Yamaha R15 V2 Issues and fitting Free Flow Exhaust system.

Get aftermarket ones, the yamaha one are not adjustable, check ebay or local shops.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

It is a little difficult to remove the Allen bolt on the side of the exhaust.. Others are easy.. If u get a long Allen key it gets easier.. Swingarm is made of aluminum its soft.. If the threads get worn out u will be in trouble.. Make sure you don't repeatedly remove and install those bolts.. Removing 3 allen bolts and two hexagonal bolts the whole tyre hugger with the a Saree guard comes off

Regarding acceleration, 5th and 6th gears are overdrive, can't expect acceleration in those two.. I keep it in 5th till 125 and then shift to 6th, it doesn't feel slower that way...

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

I have cut the rear hugger in half. I simply reattach the cut half back, during the monsoons. Refitting is just a few minutes' worth of a procedure.

A question here, folks. The manual specifies injector cleaning at every service and obviously, most of the service center 'technicians' are totally clueless about this thing despite Yamaha's tall claims about the competency of their service centers. I would be surprised even if they manage to tighten the chain correctly.
Is there any way any of you guys have found around this? Or do you ride the motorcycle without cleaning the injectors at all?
I would be obliged if someone is to throw a light over this matter.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

There is DIY about this, pretty simple procedure you can do it with Yamaha tool kit and a 10mm T spanner..

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Yes, I have gone through the thread but given that I'm a med student, its rather difficult a task for me [emoji28] .
I would try my hands though, but sounds like a risky proposition to me.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Try System G, mix it with fuel in proportion & it does its work. Works well & you can feel the difference on fuel injected bikes, repeat the same after a interval of one month (depends on your running) for clean injector.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0


yep it's that easy and can be done just with a couple of tools given with the bike itself...as gurudatt mentioned, one bolt near the exhaust is a bit difficult to screw/unscrew properly because of lack of space for u to move your hand properly but it's doable, just takes 4-5 mins of time while the others take no more than 2-3 mins together...yes the saree guard is attached with the hugger so if u take the hugger out fully (or even cut it in half) the ugly saree guard comes out along with it.

how do u attach the cut fibre material mate ? heat the edge up a bit so that it is semi-melting and then stick them together ?

about injectors, well i suppose it's one of those things one doesnt check regularly until there's a problem which can be traced back to the concerned component. i have never had my bike's injectors cleaned and i dont think anyone does it at every service anywhere.

the manual says to do a lot of things at every service just to be on the safe side for themselves legally so that no one blames them later on for not mentioning something that should theoretically be done every now and then and lest anyone sues them for not mentioning these things when a problem with such internal parts arises...not even the most sincere rider will do so many things every 2 months for years and years when the bike is otherwise running all fine without doing so much...our bikes aren't so fragile or prone to decay so easily i guess, particularly not the bikes meant to be run in india :-) if everything is going fine in general then just the basic things like oil, chain etc should be looked after regularly and some other parts such as brake pads, clutch, cables etc once every year or so...then there are more intricate things like valve clearance, tappets kinda things (in which i suppose injectors also is among them) that i have been told by other older members here that should usually be checked once every 20k kms or so.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

No such stuff required, Aditya. The local mechanic has attached a 'buffer' as we may say,at the edge of the cut portion, so that the two parts are properly approximated. I simply screw in four screws to reattach the cut part during monsoons.
Let the pictures do the talking.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Well if you are unlucky then the injector and pump may clog up real bad...myself clogged my injector 2 times and cleaned it myself at home . in the 60000 kms I covered I have cleaned up THE INJECTOR 4 times the process is easy once you take out the injector you need to jump the injector using a pencil battery simultaneously you need to attach a rubber pipe to the fuel inlet of the injector on the other end of the rubber pipe connect a syringe without the needle fill the syringe with carb cleaner brake cleaner or wd40 whatever u like and press the syringe this is done to mimic the fuel pump which sends fuel to the injector under pressure.. When you jump the injector using the battery the carb cleaner fluid will go into the injector under pressure and will clean up the injector completely. Do this for 3 5 minutes n you are good to go

[MENTION=52770]Sushrut[/MENTION] - i see, clever jugaad :P [MENTION=60133]black asp[/MENTION] - thanks for that description mate, should be useful to everyone. hah, now that it sounds pretty easy i might as well give it a try although my bike's just 14 months and 8800kms old :-)
