  • Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

    Did 4th service today.
    Changed oil and filter, Lubed chain and that's it.
    They again overtightened the chain a bit, so bike feels little uneasy now. Will sort it out tomorrow. :beer:

      Gave my bike a gentle waterwash at my friends place. No high pressure, especially on the radiator fins,. I was extremely careful in avoiding water into the engine components. About half an hour later when I started my bike, The idle was uneven and the engine was getting killed randomly. After about 2 minutes or so, Everything settled and the bike was idling steadily at 1.2k rpm. For a second I thought that water would've entered the fuel tank[emoji33] or the spark plug would've reached the end of its life. Though everything is fine now since I had to ride about 10kms in the city traffic to reach home. The thing is, what could've been the reason for the engine turning off at that time? Anyone else had a similar experience?

        Happened to me many times when I used to wash it with pipe. Water gets inside all the places and as you start engine it will die frequently. After 4-5 minutes bike heats up and everything works fine as water is evaporated. Ride one mate if it revs well, all is well.

          Guys, yesterday I was riding back to my home from office at about 7 in the evening. When I was about 2 kms from my home I switched to high beam because its a lonely quiet road with no traffic, and the lights went out, only the pilot lamps were on. I was doing 30kmph so I slowed down to a crawl and switched off the lights and then turned them ON again. The low beam came up along with the pilots lamps but as soon as switched back to high beam, the lights went off again. So I repeated the On OFF procedure and rode home with low beam. After reaching home I checked the lights again, and they worked perfectly fine (both low and high beam).

          The bike is 10 months old and completed its 5th service a day before yesterday and this has happened first time. Can anyone help me find the problem. I\\\'m a bit scared, what if I was doing 80 on a highway and the lights go off.

          Has anyone else experienced this?? What could be the possible cause??
          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.

            Got myself an RX stand. Costs about 300 rupees. Now lubing and adjusting chain is easy.

                  Yup

                  Father is in the army so got it through CSD.
                  95k ex showroom
                  Extras like accessories, insurance, registration etc made the cost 1.08. Much better than the normal cost of 1.31 on road!

                      hello people,
                      Did my third service today at odo reading 2941 kms. The service people changed the coolant fully when i just told them to check the level . Had an argument and finally settled over free chain lube , it was already too late and i was totally drained to argue further.. i now want to check if they really changed the coolant. Please guide me on the steps to do the same. Also all those experts out there plss plss plsss advice if servicing the bike at home is better, visiting service centre gives me goosebumps every single time. I decided today that from next service i will get my hands greased and do everything myself. . Do give me some words of hope courage and confidence that the bike will run stronger even if its serviced properly at home . . Looking forward to your valuable inputs. I cant see my babe break down on any given dayy....

                            Nope, I just bought the bike there because CSD facility isn\'t available in Vadodara for Yamaha

                              It can be replaced with v1.0\'s, but frankly speaking it won\'t suit it. AFAIK, mine 2008 model black red or cherry red r15\'s front mask is for 760(normal edition) . It is much more for limited edition. If you want to get v1.0\'s fairing choose wisely so that it suits the paint job and decals.

                              There is no specific way to check coolant is old or not. Check the reservoir if it is topped up to full mark, that would be it. The best you can do is get a spoon we usually use for \'ghee\' and get some coolant off the radiator cap. Look for its colour, you will find out. Motul motocool is bright fluoroscent when its new and the colour gets darker and dull as it gets old, that is what I observed when I did mine.

                              You working on your bike is obviously better that some SVC monkey fiddling in there. That is considering that you know what you are doing.
