    Why not every r15 guy shoot an email to Yamaha. So that we compel Yamaha to recall all the post O 2 sensor models to rectify this issue.

      Well, I am not sure about others, but I did it for a couple of friends. One got it changed under warranty, other ones was changed by himself and no issues for both after that. yet to get a reply from Yamaha though,we directly approached a reputed dealer, as almost all dealers in Bangalore where unable to solve it even after we mentioning the error was code 46. They hardly cared.
      Ride, ride and ride.. But always do it responsibly..

        Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

        I had bought a used R15 V2 6months back
        The front tyre needs to be changed because it is worn out
        The rear is new 2016 fitted.. But it's a 150/60 section tyre MRF revz C..
        My question is.. Is it an overkill and will keeping a 150/60 hamper the performance?
        Since I'm anyway changing my front tyre.. Should I change both or I can continue using the rear tyre.. It is relatively new with very less wear

        Also.. How's the masseter for the front and rear?

          To all the guys asking for Yamaha's head for faulty RR positioning. It will take 15 rs of zip ties and a 5 rs clamp to mount the RR near the horns. Why not do that first and then take up arms against Yamaha

            Masseter is better anyday, it's upto you whether you want to change back tyre

              Obviously it is upto me [emoji14]
              Thanks for your input but I wanted to ask an R15 owner whether it is an overkill

                It's not overkill, it's the best you can get without overkill 😜
                I have personally used Masseter and it hasn't disappointed like others (Michelin pilot sport/eurogrip/other mrf etc)
                140/70 is enough for R15
                You don't need 150 section

                  Haha I know it's nice! But should I change from 150/60 to 140 sec masseter is my question bro. Will it really make a difference?

                    dude, 6 months (what's the odo read?) and your front's worn out ? what did you do with it ? :O stoppies all the time ? :P even then, it's too early to wear out.

                    also, i dont think the new R15's have a 150/60 rear. that's a peculiar size..the rear tyres are 130/70 revz for all v2 bikes..

                    yes i think 150mm rear will hamper the bike's performance...significantly higher rolling friction to begin with (which will reduce accel. significantly, and hence also mileage)...you might think it will give you more high speed stability, but the stock 130 does that greatly enough already that the extra stability (if at all much) from the 150 will hardly serve any much-needed purpose... 150 is too damn wide for a bike like this, unless it's just for making it look even sexier from the rear view (but that's not what a bike is primarily for)..most people think even the 130 is too wide for this bike, and they are probably right technically..let alone 150mm.

                      Haha no! I bought it 6 months back. It's a 2012 model with 12k km on it.

                      Based on your suggestion, I think it would be better to switch to masseters for both front and rear then.. I'll probably sell off the new 150sec rear tyre!

                        Mine just seems to be an improper power supply to the fuel injection as they had just changed the fuel pump assy a week back! Will let you know the root cause tomorrow!

                            Anything over 130 is overkill for this frame.
                            That's my opinion but you'll eventually find out.

                            Do your bike a favor and resort to the stock size for a peaceful biking experience with this beauty.

                              12k is still pretty low for the front to have worn out..should be at least 18-20k kms in the average indian road conditions..i ride in UP, not a place known for consistently decent roads, and mine lasted 24k even with plenty of broken road off-roading torture haha..

                              anyway, masseters will provide more grip than the stock, but being softer will have much lesser life...stock front provides pretty great grip for any real life situations on our roads, and while the stock rear leaves one wanting more grip from it under cornering or hard braking, it is still good enough for all purposes considering its large life expectancy.

                              so stock both would be best..or otherwise, go for stock front and masseter rear (which is 140 mm, wider than the stock dimension) if you really want more grippy rear...
