    Guys, my recently acquired R15 has 4700 on odo. It makes a slight buzzing sound from the top of the speedometer console. Also, there is a slight Khat-Khat sound coming from the front whenever I negotiate a Pune Level Speed breaker. The handle moves freely and there is no oil leak from the front forks. I was not able to look at it since it has been just 3 days since I took the ownership. Anyone here who knows what this is about and help?
    Tighten the handle locknut and the windscreen screws

      Hi guys, I have a peculiar issue. The dual horns work only when I'm accelerating and when I'm not accelerating or if I'm on the lower range only 1 horn works. What could be the issue? Previously I had ecu code 46 flashing on the console and I traced the issue to a faulty rr unit. I replaced the unit and the code is gone. I thought the rr unit was somehow connected to the horn issue but it isn't. I have also replaced the battery. Any ideas?

        Me too had similar issue. Thought it was faulty rr unit or battery. But the simple tuning of adjusting screw at the back of the horn like a silicon cap (not visible directly ) solved the issue.

        • Yamaha R15 v1 and v2 fuel tank Difference

          I have bought a damaged yamaha R15 with its engine in working condition. I have fuel tank of yamaha R15 V1 and I want to fit it on V2. But the V1 tank has to outlet pipes while V2 tank has only one. Anyone know what are those outlet for and which outlet I need to block so as to use it for V2.

              Hi, I'm planning to get my bike serviced. My bike has run 31k kms and has completed 3 years. Just wanted to know what all needs to be checked apart from the regular servicing?

                  Breather tube for the tank.
                  Don't block or play around with it and make sure it's clear

                          So I went to an MRF outlet today to enquire about the front tyre.
                          Asked about the stock 90/80-17 zapper which he said will take 20-25 days to arrive.
                          Now the interesting part:
                          I enquired about the Massater front. It comes with a size of 80/90 17 according to the MRF website for R15. The MRF store guy said it will be too thin for the bike and not recommended. I insisted him to call MRF and ask the size for R15 because in all the massater advertisements and promotions (YouTube videos) R15 has been used. They even used it for the launch event with journalists and motovloggers.
                          The MRF guy too said it will not fit the R15. Like whaaaat??
                          Anyone here who has installed the Massater on front or rear?
                          Can someone confirm what the MRF guys said? I'm not able to digest it

                            There is a difference between the specs as you have mentioned. 90/80 is wider than 80/90. You will lose 1 cm from the width of the tyre.

                              Hello Divyansh ,
                              Yes the Front Masseter can get installed on R15 v2 also the 80/90/17 & 90/80/17 technically they have the same profile .
                              But there is a difference because of the width of the rim the 80/90/17 will look thinner and more round.
                              If you install this with masseter for rear 140/70/17 overall handling will get impacted .
                              So I would advice to use the factory tyre with rear Masseter .
                              One point to note is that the front masseter feels mofe grippy.
                              Front Masseter will be good with stock size ..

                                Thanks for your reply but I have a doubt..
                                Are you trying to say that I should go for the stock tyre in the front and masseter for the rear? I just need to change my front tyre as it has developed cracks. Rear tyre still has a lot of life in it.
