  • Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

    So I went to 3 shops today. 1 was an official MRF dealer - Bombay tyres Mumbai.
    And I'm sad to say all 3 of them said it's not possible to fit the masseters on the R15 v2.
    One said the front is a thinner profile so it won't fit. One said the rear is taller so it'll touch the guard. One just refused outrightly saying he has tried and it didn't fit. Wtf? [emoji14]
    Anyone here who has fitted them on their bike?

      Any update on the root cause?

        No bro! They just said that it might be a loose connection and they also told me that they fixed it! No engine warning light from there after! And am not satisfied with their reply though.. [emoji19][emoji53]

          I changed my rear 140/70 conti to masseter on march. No problem with tyre guard although my guard is little bit trimmed. With this tyre, bike is eager to lean more. Grip is good, but couple of times tyre got locked (I think mainly hard braking and no ABS).

            Hey guys,

            Recently as i was away i asked my friend to get my chain lubed as it was pretty dry. So, he went to a local shop got it cleaned and lubed. Now, the problem is that the lube is of unrecognized brand and its sticky and green in color.

            I don't have any clue if this lube is okay for O-ring chains. PFA the image of the chain lube attached.

            Does any of you have ever came across this chain spray? If not, should i again get it cleaned from reputed place using a reputable chain spray, don't wanna damage the O-rings!

            Thanks!

              Arrowchem is not actually an unrecognized brand, not a famous brand but they make good VFM products.

              This one is completely okay to use on O-ring chains. I've been using the same M51 lube since a few months on my R15S.
              It's not water based but adhesive like, sticks like a gum. Works great for ~500 KMs in normal city conditions.

              I'd still prefer using gear oil for lubrication but that mucks up the rear rim and the chain guard badly, cleaning gets necessary. With water based, the duration is much less, this one seems like a balanced approach to keep the chain lubed.

              Hope it helps.

              Regards.

                    It seems Yamaha has stopped selling DID chains for V2 and giving out vastly inferior rolon. Kudos to Yamaha for bajaj-isation

                            Fitting was easy you just need to order jst connectors along with the clock . Order 20 30 pieces for 100 120 bucks join them to make a loom insulate them and connect the terminals to pilot lamp.
                            Its done. The benefit of jst connector is that u can remove the panel without breaking up the wiring for the clock.just need to disconnect one connector couple. No cutting no splicing of the wiring assembly and u can throw it out in case it fails
