      I didn't notice heating problem till my servicing. Now the right side heats up In a strange manner. Left side is all cool...???? Weird ..very weird.
      1'st servicing undergoes a coolant change right???
      So is there any chance of coolant screwed up??? . Is the coolant divided in left and right zone?
      And left being with less coolant...? I have no idea so plainly guessing.
      One probable reason for heating of any bike engine is oil leakage.my zma had this problem...the oil used to leak and heat up sending fumes all around the bike tank.

      Please help
      -For the first problem, i believe lack of lubricant in chain is the culprit. Two things how this could have happened. Either the SVC people forgot to lube the chain. Or did a water wash of the bike, when the chain was already lubed, where-in the water wash could have washed away sufficient amount of chain lube with it. Always make sure that this mistake is not done by SVC guys. My advice to all owners is clean and lube the chain yourself, it so easy and cheap that way.

      -For the second problem, A new bike in its initial few kms (read even till 2k km) tends to heat up significantly. Thats not an issue. And for my own inference, the radiator fan kicks out more air through the right fairing than the left fairing. This explains why the right fairing gets more heated up. And if you had been noticing all this when the bike was on side-stand, then its self-explanatory because hot air tends to travel up. As long as the engine-temp gauge in the console doesn't light up. Its all fine.

      @ TO ALL OWNERS- No car or bike manufacturer, to my knowledge, recommends to change the coolant during the first service. Coolant is freshly topped up during the Pre-Delivery Inspection time. And that makes the coolant only one month old during first service. And life-span of coolant is 12-24 months depending on its chemical nature and riding conditions. I am sure Yamaha doesn't recommend coolant change during first service, though i haven't looked up the manual. Coolant top-up is all that might be necessary during first service, if at all. Stop getting ripped.

      @ ALL- Do not quote all the pics posted by other owners in your post, not only it clutters the thread with same pics, but also makes it tough for browsing with mobile phone.
