    To all the guys facing issues after coolant change one advice is that whenever you fill up the coolant fill it with engine running and on side stand also please pinch the pipes that come out of the radiator. Will help a lot in bleeding out air from your system.

        The cap is just to let off excess pressure inside the radiator. It's not at all related to the issues you mentioned.
        Either it was filled up some rubbish brand of coolant or in incorrect ratio or your coolant system has air or blockages. Other reasons could be low oil or a faulty oil pump to carbon in the combustion chamber to incorrect CO settings blockage in injector or /and pump. The list of things going bad is long.
        In any case the same issue was mentioned 20 30 pages back and somebody had some similar issue.
        I gave a description of how to trouble shoot the cooling system. Going back a few pages will really help.

          Also if your bike is more than 3 4 years old did you ever flush your cooling system completely??
          A pic of your radiator cap and the inlet neck of the radiator will help

                    Had a chance on visiting the service center last weekend. Here is the attached image of the oil that was changed on my bike previously at the Yamaha service. What's your take on it? center.

                      I use either this or shell ax7 for the last 70000 kms.

                        Though I don't own an R15. My experience is purely based on this oil on another brand of motorcycle and this is by far one of the mid rang-ish better oil grades apart from Shell. FS does work its way through R15, but not much and so does mineral. As Raza mentioned, I've personally loved the AX7 Ultra and those AX7 Ultra the former Semi Syn and the latter fully syn. Both are a good choice.

                        Cheers!

                        Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                        The girl said, 'NO!'


                        And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                          Can anyone here please upload the owner's manual of v2 or give a link of the same? I can't seem to find it.. All I got was version 1 owner's manual.
                          Also, I want to change the pilot lamps and stock head lamps of my bike. Any suggestions? Don't want to go through 1500pgs of ownership review..if only someone would be kind enough!

                            There is no difference in the manuals of both. You can follow either of them.

                              Motul!! Don't Yamaha guys use Yamalube oil range for all their bikes as far as authorized svc are concerned..?

                              Or am I missing something here?

                              Regards.

                                The service center near my house keeps a stock of both of Yamalube and Motul these days. During oil change they provide option to the owners.
