Re: DIRTSACK Forester Magnetic Neo Tankbag
From the Google images, it seems like a large enough bag to hinder your leaning, TBH. But don't take my words on it.Originally posted by Saravanan Murdlock View PostIm beginner in Tank bag usage, Neither used one nor seen one in R15 before. i dont know whether the DIRTSACKS will be that big that you wont be able to properly lean on handle bar? Please advise me. Cheers!!
I was in the same situation as you, I tried a few tank bags in local moto shops and found all to be a hindrance in riding and specially turning. It was a risk so I had to compromise and get a smaller bag which is only useful for a very little use case.
Do a test before ordering - Just fill a normal backpack(college/ 15' laptop bag) fully and keep on your tank. Now sit at idle and check the posture, comfort and turning etc. If you think it's good, then go for it. For me, it wasn't so I didn't.
Or go check any local moto shops for a demo.
Regards.

I've been using Gods Zeon R1 tank bag since a few months. This one is a small tank bag and it moves around due to light weight. I bought it mainly to keep the mobile visible for GPS navigation, as it's kinda tricky to use a mobile holder with R15's clip-ons.
If your tank bag is large, how will you comfortably lean on to handlebars?
Regards.

Im looking to buy Dirtsack Forester Magnetic tankbag for my R15S. Our gas tank made up of steel material and not plastic or fibre i guess. Can we use Magnetic tank bag in our motorcycle? is it compatible? I just want to clear things up before making an order. Cheers!!

Re: Turning Radius and Dashed Dreams
HaHa I totally understand the jibe. In hindsight, I feel idiotic. That was my own bikeOriginally posted by PrinceCruise View PostThis amuses me...! You had to take the test on an R15...?
Was that your R15 or provided by the RTO?
I mean I can totally understand that for any first time rider, riding a fully faired sports bike like this for the first time has be difficult. More so when it's a test.
Regards.
I have been driving around on it and thought I could thread the test track. Well, bugger !!

Re: Turning Radius and Dashed Dreams
This amuses me...! You had to take the test on an R15...?Originally posted by neonvibez View PostSo..
I didn't know that R15's have quite a turning radius. Today was my driving test and I failed. Although most of it was due to my novice level driving skills.
Word of advice for new guys like me, RTO Panvel has a tough driving track.
Any suggestions for me? Someone been through this?
Cheers.

Re: Yamaha R15-s Valve Sound
First, start off with valve clearance and make sure the valve clearances are carried out to spec. Valve clearances are meant to be carried out when the engine is cold, not when the engine is hot. I'd suggest you take your bike to the SVC and get the clearances adjusted.Originally posted by aaronjacob View PostExactly, the valve clearance (tick tick) sound. See when i go for long drive the sound is increasing, at that time I use to stop the vehicle and let the engine to get cool for 1/2 hour. During cold start time the sound is less, but when its get heated the sound increases. What should I do?
Need Valuable Suggestions

Many new R15s have this right from the factory, even the FZ 250s are plagued by this issue. Some R15s even have had ECU faults, brand new bikes.

Only after 20000 kilometers the valve has to get changed, then this sound will go, he said. If it is a common factor or anyone facing the same issue, please let me know about this.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences
Guys I have engine stalling issue . Even after fuel pump and injector cleaning. Idle is 1100 rpm . Tried to increase idle but it didn't go beyond 1100 in hot engine.
In morning when I start my bike engine gets off after 1 or 2 seconds bike start.
Tappets gap was adjusted last week. Its toward somewhat loose (as there is minor noise post 5k rpm).
Inlet tappet - 0.127 mm
Exuast tappet - 0.207 mm

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences
I'm using Osram silverstar HS1 on my FZ-S. It is definitely better than the stock halogen, but not enough on certain occasions. I could see my own shadow in the path of the beam, you can check out my vlog on it... https://youtu.be/2XwDZiWxgl0Originally posted by Rajarshi Mandal View PostCongrats Anunay.
It's my second week and I'm still struggling to get past 100Km, no, I didn't got my number plate installed yet
. But coming from Pulsar 150 UG2, which I rode almost 10 years+, I felt, or still feeling uncomfortable with this motorcycle because of the riding posture and for somewhat stiff suspension. Howerver, the power, torque and the handling is very good, even with a pillion.
Quoting from your pros and cons here are some of my thoughts.
My only big problem is the riding posture, I was really sad
, for the first 2 days I got wrist pain, then it goes away and comes the back pain, then comes the neck pain. And yes, I'm still trying to adjust myself. Now I feel somewhat adjusted, but I really cannot comment on this as I didn't got any opportunity to go for at least 10KM drive at a stretch.
The small problems are:
1. With 12V 4A battery, they could have given LED parking, indicator and/or tail lights.
2. There's no foot rest with the saree guard.
Can anyone comment on how is Osram Silverstar HS1?
I've already placed an order for led headlight on aliexpress!
