Hello guys Im from Mexico and im waiting for the R15 2.0, i've been watching your posts and all your bikes are awesome, hoping with all my heart to see this bike in Mexico soon.
In this moment we only have the R15 V1 and it costs 4000 dlls. Can you tell me the price of this bike in dlls. please
Thx and greetings.
P.D. Zorry for my poor english

Agreed, the manual says that the coolant level has to be checked during each service and if required, to be topped up. Replacement is recommended at 20,000 kms.

How do you determine whether the chain needs to be lubed? Any specific pointers/ indicators? My R15 is @ 500 kms now but I think the chain needs lubrication..

Nope I did not. The same thing happened again yesterday. This time, I just used the engine kill switch, toggled it off and then back to on, hit the starter again and voila, it was back to life..I am ignoring this for the moment, if this happens frequently will take it to the Yamaha SVC.

I completed a 310 kms ride to mysore and back from Bangalore with a pillion (my GF) and a backpack (pics coming up soon). Did not expect it to be as comfortable as it actually was! The only thing hurting at the end of it were my bums

Changed my engine oil and filter. Surprisingly, could not see any metal fillings/ pieces in the drained oil

Well thanks fr ur compliments. V all appretiate it a lot and yes the new r15 is smokin hot!!! . Well approximate cost would be 2500$

-Chain lubrication can be decided by two things, hard gear shifts and chain noise. False gear changes can also be taken as an indicator for chain lube.

-I am not telling you have made a blunder, but why do you want load a new engine that's just 200kms old with a highway run of 300kms? That too with a pillion & backpack? Just puts more stress on the engine internals.

-Did you find metal scrapings in the oil filter atleast ? If you see the drained oil against the sun in a transperant container, you will notice a million tiny specs of metal scraps, that may look like dust, and then there will be the big scraps that looks like comma's.

thanks for d advice...

Ivin thanks...i m gonna do it when my exams will get over...

He leaned the bike to its absolute maximum(almost) but never shifted his weight. the first r15's rider did a bit, we can see his leg thrown out.
1.he lost traction of the rear tyre because of the extreme lean angle.
2. he panicked and braked.

Thanks, will check for chain noise..

To avoid overload, I had frequent breaks, plus I consciously avoided constant throttle, kept varying gears and RPM (restricting it to 5k with 1/ 2 occasional bursts) as far as possible.

Did not check the oil filter, my bad.

Has anyone got the center stand installed? What are your reviews? (Center stand vs paddock)

well i think centre stand does look good on any kind of sports bike. As it is a Baby SBK it won't look good. Well but there are times when we really feel that there must have been a centre stand. But you have to compromise in somethings. Well but paddock stands are very costly. I think it costs around 5-7 k and that is a lot.

I meant doesnt look good.

Nice pics of the Black beauty!

He he! It suggests you understood exactly what I meant to say! Its all about being unleashed!

My pleasure! I've learnt this from other members, who do it to help newbies like us!

The chain noise is fine for me! As DrVenom said, check for lube.

Regarding the second, even it has started to heat up more than what it used to before servicing!
Even I was charged INR. 250 for the coolant. Don't know if it was top-up or change! I wasn't allowed in the service bay.

The coolant level is fine. Its probably because we rev her harder than what we used to during run-in!

Thanks! So waiting for some more time, will check the heating till 2000 kms.
I was ripped regarding the coolant then..

Pics coming soon!

Yeah, the PTR video reviews are superb! Especially the soundtrack they use blends perfectly with the videos!

Yup! Once after the service, you rev her harder, smoother she'll get at the lower revs!

Perfectly okay! The lever is fit perfectly, and hence the hardness! Once you use it a bit more, they'll get smoother.

Paddock stand is not easily available.
So I think, we can get the center stand, and use it temporarily whenever we want to, just like the SVC guys do!
Any suggestions?

R_C111,
you can click on the "edit" on your post and then edit the content!

I have been quoted 1.5 k here at Orion Motors, Bangalore

Exactly what I had in mind! That will cost somewhere around 800..

Well i m sorry actually i was using tapatalk so didnt know much of its features will take care of it from next post. Thank u.

Well thats cheap is there anyway to get it from there to mumbai. By courier or any other means. Thanks for updating my info.
