Hope i overcome it soon. Meanwhile i m trying to take my attention to other things. Any suggestions please.
          Go through version one ownership thread.

          It is not so less powered, just if you are into touring or frequesnt night commuting, then you might need an upgrade.
          Horn problem has been universal since version one.

          I guess there are threads on maintaining your bike, check it.
          and it isn't a problem, it would be there untill first service.

                Well, I'll suggest either the 5A Amaron or the 9A version, just the latter would require you riding at high revs to keep it charged.

                  I can imagine dude what you are going through. Even i have a lot of unfinished work during these days & lets hope the dealer delivers it as scheduled. I m from Mumbai. What about you?? I have even sold my FZs for booking this one.

                      hi, i am new to all of you but this thread is not new for me.
                      i got my bike yesterday 19-03-2012 and the most interesting part was i got the bike(r15 v2.0 Black) without booking.

                      It cost me Around 1.22 Lakhs On-Road.

                      There are already so many beautiful reviews present in this thread so i am not going to write about it.
                      i have 2 doubts which i want to clarify :
                      1) While coming home(with pillion),the braking was too good when i was applying the both brakes but when i was applying only rear brake i feel the braking was not so good. Is this a problem for me only or anyone also facing the same or is this normal?
                      2) In the evening when i start the bike one "gheee" type sound was coming, is this the radiator's fan sound(engine was not hot that time) ? And is there any problem with that?
                      sorry for the picture quality, will post better pics later

                              The bike you got is absolutely fine... Initially I too thought of the same thing about rear brakes, but after that have driven many of my friends R15 v2 and it all felt the same.

                              The reason behind less braking power is that most of the weight is concentrated in front. So front works great without skidding even under harder braking. Try hard with ur rear and it will start skidding at once. I hope you got the reason and apply braking at Front:back::75:25.

                                dont worry man... The radiator fan kicks in often for the first 450 kms (Because engine grinding friction is more.. so more heat)... Mine has done 600 and now very rarely it kicks in (Hope so the engine has got set well)...
