    I too thought of the same, first they changed the r6 towards the 2015 r1 kinda styling and now it's the R15's turn! Obviously Yamaha won't make a 1.5L costing bike to look like 25L Rs costing one. But it is still a sick look for a 150cc bike! Already the R15 is the most coolest looking small capacity fully faired bike out there and now this will make it even more adorable!

      Can anyone suggest an alternate airfilter which will last longer than the stock.
      That is actually the pipe connecting the fuel tank to the charcoal canister at the back.

        Yeah but the rear swingarm and the engine casing(visible in another pic) are lifted directly from the current R15 v2
        So mostly it's a Yamaha

            Bought a mobile holder which is simple and easy to use with our bike. This is made to fit on car AC vent but i tried to fit it in front visor of our bike. It can hold on it very sturdy. Rode the bike on very rough roads full of pot holes and also tried triple digit speeds to check whether the wind blast might do anything with the mount and mobile, but it stayed perfectly safe and sturdy. I couldn't upload the pic with the mobile mount attached with the bike. I will upload it later in about 2 days.

              Ofcourse, it's a Yamaha mate. I said that it resembles the Gixxer on a funny note! And here is a rendered picture that closely resembles the production version.

                    You need fork realignment.

                      Make sure your upper and lower T-stems are straight too. check front axle and replace if bent.

                        no gaps on the right new bars.
                        You will have to get the triple clamp/under bracket whatever it is called that connects the forks to the steering head changed or rectified/fixed/ repaired. My RX 100 and Unicorn also had such problems but more than your bike- RX had a big crash at 85kmph and Unicorn had hit a large pothole at 90 kmph and I had that part changed. U should feel some difficulty in riding such bikes.

                          Is it causing any trouble riding ? else leave it alone . Many bikes have this kind of slight "off from perfect center handle" kind of thing from hard knocks , feels odd a few days then you get adjusted to it and forget . No real problem I've ever had from these .

                              Loosen both the allen screws that connects the clip ons to the top triple clamp. Clip on can be actually be moved a little. Make sure both the clip ons are adjusted to the same angle and tighten them. Clip ons in R15 can be adjusted a little.
