Turns out the spark plug cable problem has raised again.and I noticed some drops of coolant on the floor coming from the pipes on the bottom.is it supposed to do so!

Thus it is best to follow the values provided in the service manual and the timeline recommended in therein. Noise and other sensory inputs are unreliable and can lead to more harm than good.

Chill bro

actually, Joel said 0.1 for inlet and exhaust both. I had cold start issues with that so moved onto 0.1 intake and 0.17 exhaust. We just took up on joel's judgement and it worked. My bike never started on very first crank when cold,this clearances solved everything for me.

Good to hear, I didn't feel anything when I jumped my injectors twice with carb cleaner.
Seems like that 500 bucks would be cleaning on injector cleaning machine, I guess that might be the one to make a difference

Can you please tell me what it is that I should chill about? What was it that I said which is factually incorrect?

Oh and as far as Joel is concerned, you can quote me to him and ask him what is inconsistent in what I have said. Joel knows me very well so do quote me and see what he has to say about it.

Just for your information; I have run Joel's big bore 165 cc kit for 20,000 kms before it suffered a catastrophic failure. I have run the valve clearance that you have mentioned and he had suggested. It ruined the exhaust rocker arm and adjusting screw. The valve clearances that he has mentioned are workable for track applications where the bike is checked before every race. Yamaha engineers are not fools. They make bikes that are class leading and win world championships.

not sure about the play in front sprocket, but the chain in contact with the rubber padding (or even resting a bit on it) is normal and is there for a very solid reason... without it the chain's everyday life would be even more miserable and stressful.

Thanks mate, feeling much relieved after reading your post about the chain. But the front sprocket play though is very minute that it is very negligible to notice. At first, I thought it might have occurred due to vigorous brushing of the chain while cleaning and lubing it periodically. But now I feel the play in the front sprocket should not cause an issue because the play is almost non existent. (God! I should not have posted about it at the first place.)

Re: Can Daytona on R15 V.20 will match the power of KTM RC 200 ?

Some play in the front sprocket is normal . It is mounted in that way on the splines so that when the rear suspension compress it can move on it's axis and take up the play , so that the chain still runs straight . However if your bike's chain is touching the plastic swingarm-protector , it's a bit too loose - adjust the chain slack .
Also never brush an o-ring chain vigorously or use any stiff brush on it , it shall damage the rubber o-rings . For the same reason , never use high-pressure water / detergents / solvents on the chain . Clean gently with soft brush with very little kerosene in it . Lubricate with light engine oil and wipe off all the visible oil on chain with soft dry cloth soon after . This is sufficient for o-ring chain .

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Hey guys can anyone tell me which centre stand would be best for the bike? Heard that the rx 100 stand fits good. Just wanted to confirm before I buy one.

There's one specifically meant for it.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Guys, another query.

How much oil should I use while changing the engine oil. Should I stop filling when the maximum level on the dip-stick is reached? But it seems there is still space left to completely dump the Yamalube 15w50 can into it. (The can holds exactly 1l of engine oil.) When servicing the bike previous time, I poured in the complete can. But during this time I stopped when the maximum level on the dip-stick was reached.

How much is the exact quantity of oil needed by the bike? Assuming the oil is completely drained.

i assume you want a main stand for self servicing purposes, in which case, yes the rx100 stand fits fine..buy it along with its attaching pin...total costs around 200..you can get it at pretty much any bike parts/accessories shop...the one sold by the svc costs around 900, but that's probably the main stand made specifically for R15 (and comes with the attaching springs and bolts etc which are required if one wants to have the main stand attached to the bike permanently) and hence so costly.

Yes I wanted it for self servicing. Thanks a lot

With bike in main-stand on level ground , fill until the oil level shows between the Min & Max markings on the dipstick or view-window , whatever your bike is having . Maintain oil to this level by checking the level every fortnight again . This is so that there is some leeway for mistake both ways . Total oil volumes taken by the engine on complete drain ( by opening the case ) is given in your bike's manual - but this is of no concern of ours . We mind the oil level & correct change interval , not volume - and everything else shall be okay

.
If you have ever overfilled oil by draining whole bottle into the sump , open the air filter box and remove filter . Open air filter box drain plug and clean off the inside of the box and check the air-filter for oil contamination .

Thank you so much for your well explained posts mate.

I just checked and refilled the oil. Also read the manual and it turned out that R15 needs 1l of oil if the filter needs to be replaced or 0.95l if the filter is not going to be replaced. But it is very important to change the filter each time, So 1l was the required quantity. Thank you again.

Setting idling RPM on yamaha R15(2014 batch onwards)

Hi guys,
I got the tappets adjusted recently but the mechanic did not set the idle properly.
Now in the morning bike starts at 1.5k rpm and drops to 1.1-1.2k rpm(earlier bike starts at 1.8k and settles down at 1.3k rpm), at this range I can feel engine is missing some beats and it sounds like its gonna die.
I wanna adjust the idling myself but from 2014 onwards yamaha changed the idling mechanism on R15. There is no more brass adjusting screw on the exhaust side of the bike.
Though now there's an O2 sensor and the Fi system is closed loop, the idling speed can be still adjusted.(friend got his idling increased).

Your help is much appreciated.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Hey guys I would be leaving my bike for the first service at my local mechanic whom I've known for years. I am thinking of using motul 5100 15w50. Is it good or should I be using any other product. Also is there anything apart from changing the oil and oil filter to be done at the first service?
