Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0


Its a Chinese one. I have seen this on a feature about cheap Chinese bikes. They work well in the beginning but slowly end up leaking the brake fluid. They are not reliable. You can try the entire brake setup of Honda trigger instead. It'll cost more but perform better and last longer. Just my thought.
Cheers

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Is R15 v2 swing arm directly fit into v1.
Or some modification required for that.
When i google this & found some pics.
I m going to buy used r15 v1.
Main problem with v2 is its pillion seat.
thats why select used v1.
as new v1 is discontinued.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Logged into xBhp after quite a long time.

My cold starts were like:

1. The engine was not able to run on its own at idle RPM.
2. The engine needs to be revved to be kept alive.
3. The clutch engagement, which takes the bike to idle RPM, used to switch off the engine.

No unusual noise or difference in spark plug colour.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Yes, the swingarm is a direct fit, some other mods will be required though, like longer rear brake line along with caliper bracket as its completely different in v2.
also the chain set will be changed to that of v2. and add to that the new rear alloy and tire setup.
and i am not sure about this but you might have to cut the rear fender of v1 to accomodate longer swing arm along with fatter tire.

is it showing any sign of movement on the latch once you turn the key, if not than probably the wire might have come off the key latch.
i guess removing the side panel, that Y shaped panel on either side which once opened gives access to brake fluid/coolant reservoir on right and left side respectively. you might get some access to the latch from there.


i am able to hear some noise, was not sure whether is was cam chain or tappet, so i suspected both.
bike is in running in period at 2600 km, so decided to tighten the cam chain(not sure if this should have been done as i cant find any thing in service manual that suggests that it should be tighened, and i could be wrong but it seemes like an automatic adjuster, any comments?)

things do seem to be smoother now, less noisy
but tappet sound is still there, though only audible beyond 7k rpm,
no idling or cold start issues.

what is surprising me is that on V1 the tappet and cam chain were never adjusted, and even at 42000 kms it sounded better than V2 at 2600 kms

any suggestions,

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

You can user the original brake line, no problem. You'll need to change the rear brake caliper, sprockets/chain, chain adjuster, cutting the fender is optional as is the rear mud guard, the pillion pegs need slight bending, you'll need a new rear wheel, v2 tyres, the swing arm links are advisable, bearings, bolts, nuts and a few other bits. You may need to modify the seat as the bike tilts more forward, unless you like your wedding tackle pressed up against the tank. You could buy a v2 and plonk on the v1 seat and rear fairings, if you know someone who does fibreglass work it would be easier and possibly cheaper.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

nope, no latch movement on turning the key...the key is turning freely without any springy feeling as if there's no spring inside the locking system..clearly i completely misfitted the spring and now it's stuck and/or disconnected from the latch somehow.

yeah thanks for the suggestion about the side panel, removing that might help. will try it tomorrow at daytime, or else would have to take it to the svc.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

i have a Yamaha r15 v2 (30,000) done now , one common issue that I had and many other riders have with r15 is the headlight throw

i changed my my headlight to HID on lower and halogen on upper ( at a time only one headlight will be running)
and the hid has made a world of a difference in the lightening on the road.
I have been running hid since last 10k Kim's and I am still on my original battery so haven't faced much of a battery drain issue. As well.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0


Even I'm getting some noise, suspecting it to be from the cam/timing chain. It is mostly coming within 4-6K RPM. When the engine is started after a long duration of more than 4 hours, the sound doesn't come for the first 1.5-2 kms. But then it starts coming gradually but when I rev the engine above 7K RPM the sound gets overcome by the engine sound. Tappet sounds are mostly different and the noise that I'm getting is coming like a rolling sound as it comes out from the drive chain but in a smaller proportion. I'm planning to ask the ASC guys to look after it at the next service. Experts any comments?





Exactly. V1 needs less, much less care than the V2. I've a friend at Pune, who has ridden his V1 for more than 130K kms but still he hasn't yet adjusted the tappet or cam chain.


I'm also facing a strange issue recently. My engine is getting cut-off suddenly. It happened twice and that also in the middle of the road, which is actually very risky as traffic from behind can actually hit you. I found out the issue to be coming from the engine kill switch. As soon as I turned the switch off and on, the bike was still on motion and engine was running but there's no throttle response, the starter motor started the engine. What my analysis is, as soon as the engine kill switch malfunctions, circuitry to the engine is cut-off and the engine stops as there's no power going to it, just like switching it off manually via the switch.


Has this happened to anyone else? If yes, then what's the resolution? Do I need to change the engine kill switch assembly or the relay or check the whole wiring?

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

how much is the HID going for these days?

i had the same issue with headlight, even on high beam the lamp was pointing about 10- 15 mtrs which was ridiculous
i have just adjusted the headlight with the adjustment screw for now
both lamps have seperate adjustment screws so one can easily fiddle and set them to their liking
turn it clockwise to raise the beam/spread turn it anti clock wise to lower,
i am quite happy with the setup. but i am also considering 55w bulb (just for highbeam) for winter/ fog riding.
i ran 55w on my v1, notice a little drain on battery only when horn was used, other than that it ran ok.




sigh. i miss my V1 now.

as for the kill switch issue, start with switch assembly, open it up, it might just be a lose connection. and as for checking wiring/relay, use a small peice of wire to make the kill switch direct, and take the bike for a small spin, if it stops again, something could be wrong with wiring/relay, and drive down to svc, if all is good, just replace the kill switch assembly.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0


The HID cost varies
But you can expect to get it for ₹1200 approx
Plus fitting charges

I am a diy enthusiast and do most of the bike work myself , so I fitted the hid myself

In fact it is quite easy for an r15 it's a direct fit

Talking about 55w halogen (it will consume 55w obviously)
Whereas a 35w hid will consume around 40-42w so you Load the battery less for about 10-15 watts

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Thanks
1200 INR isnt bad and certainly worth a trip to Karol bagh. (i remember vaguely that last time i inquired about hid was about 5 years back for v1 and being quoted about 5k for HID.)
any specific brand/manufacturer i should look for?

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Brand is definitely a priority but I am very sure you won't get any branded ones in the market flooded with Chinese HIDS

As per my experience go for the HID with the bigger ballast (vs the smaller ballast one available nowadays)

Also I think the ₹ 5k price is mostly for the hid with projectors.
Which is what I would recommend.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Hi Guys, again got into an issue with my bike .
Today morning suddenly my bike refused to start. The engine warning light popped up on HUD. Checked the blinks it came 4 long blips and 8 short blips. Push starting also failed. Called the svc, mech came down and fixed the issue.
Now coming to the issue, the wire going into the Fuel Injector has got almost worn off at the point it enters the injector. He has temp fixed the issue by putting a black tape on it. Asked him what permanent fix option is to which he is saying that the whole wiring kit ~ Rs 3550 and the injector ~5K needs to be replaced. When I pointed out why I need to change the injector he said that I can give it a skip. Also he mentioned that there is another way of repairing the whole wire and he will charge me ~1500.
Somehow am not too convinced with his methods and he said that this is a very common issue.
Guys let me know if any of you have faced this issue. Also tell me if there is any mech in Bangalore who can do this work properly. It involves electricals and wiring. (svc is on a rip-off mode I guess).

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0


Rip off is right bro.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Get it checked from a local mechanics
And ask him if he can fix the wire.

Is your bike still under warranty ?

Take shot and drop
Yamaha a email saying that the wire got rusted and connection is breaking.
