  • Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

    Hey guys, anyone tried MFR Masseter tyre? My rear Contigo 140/30 crossed 25k kms and on final life. I'm looking at Michelin Pilot Street 140/30 radial at 5.5K or MFR Masseter 140/30 non-radial 3.5k. Is it worth going michelin? I use my bike for daily commute of at least 60kms so mileage is also concern. Thanks in advance all.

      My front disk brake pads are due for change, when I enquired at the SVC they are quoting 650rs for the pads. I found one online which they say costs only 150rs

        Only put original yamaha brake pads. My friend put some cheap brake pad in his r15 and its not half as good as oem and after some kms they became hard and wont wear off.

Immediately rushed to Yamaha SVC to buy the Air screw set, I wasn't able to make the spare seller understand what an air screw set is, so she called a mechanic and asked him to check whats faulty on my bike!

          He then checked the missing Air screw and said that, the air screw isn't sold Separately and I have to change the whole throttle body for 6k plus! Is it really true that the air screw set isn't sold Separately and why should I change the perfectly working throttle body for the air screw which is not on the throttle body! Weird! Has anyone here changed their air screw before?
          Yeah it's available as a separate part costs 289 bucks.
          Try India spares or order from a SVC.
          I always keep a spare set with me.
          It's easy to take out and once had a miscreant take it off a friend's bike just for sadistic fun.
          I got it ordered in a svc and they had it delivered within 15 days.

                Yours is the Torx key variant of screw.
                I think his is the normal screw type that costs 300 bucks~

                  I've been noticing some rattling sound coming from fairing portion/Suspension area whenever the bike enters some uneven roads. I don't know whether it's due to I've upgraded the tyres from 90/80R17 to 90/90R17.

                  R15 Experts kindly guide me what to do and where to check.

                      Hello friends, just came through this led headlight in Aliexpress.com Is this light compatible with our R15 bikes? And do you people find it good for R15?
                      Thanks in advance!
                      Ride safe.. 😊

                        Whose 90/90 did you get?

                        Check if the rattling happens if you push the suspensions in by yourself by applying pressure on the handlebars.
