Now that's a lot of head-breaking.

If you anyway are filling to the brim then why not simply use the tank to tank method.

Fill a tank full - note the litres of fuel filled 'X'.
Start Trip 2
The moment it hits reserve note the reading of Trip 2 'Y'.

Calculation;
The Trip 2 reading Y divided by
(Litres of fueled filled X - 1.9 lit of reserve fuel).

y/(x-1.9) = current mileage.

I use the trip meter too for measuring fuel economy.. By the way theres two trip meters given, what could be the possible use for the two of them?

Earlier I had reported an issue with the clutch not settling 100% back to its free position. Apparently its was the issue with the tightening screw connecting the cable to the lever. It took 3 seconds for the mechanic to resolve it. There are no-jerks now and the throttle response (I have no idea how) has many fold times increased. Feels like the bike will pop a wheelie any second. The guy Mr Ajay expained some important stuff about the whole handling and stuff about the servicing as well.

R15v2 comes with SS pre-installed and its strictly advised you DONT insist on adding MINERAL OIL at 1st service. An oil change is advised at 500km, not 50 or 200 or whatever. These oils, he said, are very very efficient. And its better if people go by the book.


Overall a good experience with the folks at the station but it turned out the whole team was from Mumbai (and not my city) and dedicated to servicing R1s. They had come to collect some spare's stock . Mumbikers are sure lucky they got some efficient mechanics handling their bikes.

This is what i got from the showroom with my R15 V2.0



I noticed one thing that checking of coolant level is missing...
As this is not for the R15. what should i do now?
Should i change it with original R15 manual or not?
Please help me ... n If possible please post the cover-page of r15 v2.0's Service & Warranty manual...
Thanks ...

i use the trip meter to measure fuel efficiency too.. by the way any idea why there are two trip meters? and what could be the possible use of both of them?

So what oil should be added at the first service? semi-synthetic?? and also which oil to be added on the first oil change at 500 kms?

As soon as your bike hits reserve, The Fuel bar starts blinking, also another trip meter comes to display reading "- F" denoting the no. on kms you have ridden after the bike has hit reserve. It goes after filling petrol and riding for 5+ kms!

What I follow is the same procedure mentioned some posts ago.

As soon as the bike hits reserve, I reset the trip 2 meter. (Also you can check the ODO)
Fill in some amount of fuel, say Rs. 500- 600, note the quantity. As soon as it hits the reserve, i.e -F coming on display, check the reading on trip 2.

So- Trip 2 (kms)/ Quantity = Approximate average!

During Run-in, got around 42 kmpl. (whenever calculated)
Post Run-in, keeping in 6K + range, got some 37+ kmpl.

But, there's a confusion regarding the Total petrol filled till date - Reserve 2 lit. and the No. of kms ridden. Something weird. Getting around 35+ kmpl.
Does the bike hit reserve at the same point (amount of petrol remaining in tank).

Now that's a lot of head-breaking.

R15 comes with semi-synthetic oil and all further oil changes should be semi-synthetic only (of course one can upgrade to fully synthetic after 5000kms) be it at first 150 or 500 kms or first service..Switching to a lower grade at any point of time is not a good thing..

The journey with my new bike started 3 months ago and still going on smoothly. I am pushing her 125+ and no complains yet. Excellent handling and mileage.
The only bad thing happened is that somebody tried to peel off the Yamaha Logo from the tank. This has left a few scratches on the tank

-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.

bro since R15 is performance bike never ever think about the mineral oil. it will affect badly on our engine and result in piston sizing, change the oil as its referred in on the manual!

R15 comes with semi-synthetic oil and all further oil changes should be semi-synthetic only (of course one can upgrade to fully synthetic after 5000kms) be it at first 150 or 500 kms or first service..Switching to a lower grade at any point of time is not a good thing..

When I took my bike for first service the service-supervisor advised me to go for fully Synthetic oil, but I didn't agree and asked him to use the regular one...At Yamaha Service centers (Bangalore), Semi-Synthetic is considered as regular oil...

I would be switching to fully Synthetic after run-in period... have done two services so far and the bike engine is getting better-n-butter after every time the Oil changed...

Please don't go with any other regular-oil, make sure if its Yamaha recommended/Semi-Synthetic...

Changing to mineral will NOT have an adverse effect on the engine.

Changing the engine oil only at 1000 and not before that will NOT have an adverse effect on the engine.
TRUE.

kwacker aka Praveen Kumar, filled mineral at 1000 odo and had the oil filter changed at 3000km odo (the service guy forgot to change it at 1st service).
BAD. Grade changes of oil should always be accompanied with filter change. New grade oil with old grade oil filter dont mix up well.

Also, its necessary that you increase your revving with kms on the odo.
5k upto 500km
7.5k upto 1000km
Red line thereafter.
TRUE. VERY TRUE.

The 2 trip meter come handy while touring.
Another addition to the city use, to whoever asked about its use.

Now a quick question, how many of you got a teflon coat and how much did you pay for it?
The company people are a bunch of frauds. Sometimes they just wax-up the bike and claim that they have teflon coated it. Make sure you dont get ripped. I didnt get mine, nor have an idea how much it is. I was offered one for free by the dealer.

One question is ...is d coolant distributed on 2 chambers....left and right...?

Yes. Go to the dealer. Tell him politely what has happened. If he refuses to swap the manuals or gives some lame excuse, tighten up your sleeves.

bro return it and ask for your real manual. it happens in the hurry of your dealer.
