Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi guy's...
I was planning to change my tail section with v2 stock model... Is it OK to do this mod. Is anyone tried this & How it looks like(good / ugly).

My bike was 3 moths old & bs4 model.. So I have doubt weather I have to do anything with tail wiring or not...

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

P220 has a projector setup for low beam. You can opt for projectors on R15 as well. Just ensure bulbs are aligned correctly and they're not blueish, otherwise they'll blind oncoming traffic.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

what about round small reflector like P-220 , it can be easily fix on our stock designer reflector of R15-S ,

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi Guys,

I've had my R15S since December 2015 and I had it modded early on from RaceConcepts. PFB the mods:

Performance:
180cc Big Bore kit
Custom built Free Flow Exhaust
Custom mapped piggyback ECU (PowerTronic)
Tighter clutch spring
Tighter valve spring
Upgraded cylinder head Geometry

Visual:
LED bulbs to replace the shitty stock lamps. Small mod on lamp electrical to light up both sides on both Low beam and High beam.
Fairings originally painted Green(Front mudguard, 2 bottommost side fairings) now painted black

Believe me, even without the Big Bore kit the bike's potential is completely unlocked. The main gain is in the Low and Mid band which do not feel sluggish anymore. Peak power and Torque has also increased. And even though I did not put the exhaust on for sound, man oh man she sounds like a beast now


I saw a few posts here that I may be able to help on:

Hoping this is fixed by now. If it was a one time occurrence, leave it be. Might have been just that day, that traffic. If you want, just cycle the coolant with fresh stuff, but in my opinion don't.

If it has occurred again, along with the checks mentioned in previous posts, you might wanna check your cylinder head gasket because it might have warped a little bit. I had the same problem and it was recurring every week or so and it was before the mods were done. Upon opening the engine, we found that the gasket had not only warped but also cracked at one edge. Nevertheless, it was still holding on (gotta give it to Yamaha's resilience). I've changed it since and till date there has not been any problem. Might've just got dealt a bad card on that one


[MENTION=64547]TheArcher84[/MENTION] - can vouch for the RaceConcepts exhaust. Sound is marvellous. Performance is better.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Planning to upgrade the stock headlight bulbs, Got two suggestions from old threads, they are

1.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3270...706104337.html
2. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1xPa...608.0.0.CpCcGf



Do we need any additional settings to fit this ones ? Or any suggestions ?

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Tappet sound @2K is unusual, but, many FZ25 owners are having the same problem at an early stage.( Read: during the first 2 services)
But, it is better to get the tappets adjusted as they may later lead to a major fault

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

wow.. no updates in the past 2 weeks! you guys must be busy riding

Well, coming to my question. My bike is 2 months old and 2k in odo. I'm hearing a constant metallic sound once the bike is warmed and it's getting uncomfortable to ride with this noise. Checked in SVC and they said tappet needs to be adjusted and that it would take 2-3 hrs to do this. Is it fine to adjust tappet in a new bike? Will it cause any harm?

And I'm gonna ask again for any good SVC in and around Annanagar, Chennai. I gave my bike for 1st service in Walters Yamaha, Kilpauk and wasn't satisfied with them. Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences





Done the same. Make sure to cut excess material at tip as it may rub with tyre while shock compresses near maximum limit.



Even I faced the same issue with pillion during bumps.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yes, It's available in service centre's. Service Centre price is Rs.146.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hello guys,

Can someone suggest a good service center in chennai? Probably around Annanagar area. I'm not satisfied with the place where I bought my R15S and would like to give it some guys who know their job. Any pointers appreciated.

My first service was done at 800 kms and the 2nd one is 45 days away. Is it okay to change the engine oil and filter now (odo at 1500 kms)? I feel some kind of stress in the engine which I think can be attributed to engine oil (not sure though).

Thanks.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Great, im planning to fit the same.
Is that available from the servce center itself ?
Please share more piks from side

Mod Update.

Hi guys, last month I bought my white r15s. Really loved it.
But the only thing bothered me is mud guard. Whenever I ride on a rainy day the while bike becomes dirty & the water splashes all over pillion feet.

So I decided to fix a mud guard but the issue is there is no mudguard available for R15s. Then I decided to buy v2 mudguard & modify it as I wish. The overall mod cost is Rs. 150 only .

Things purchased.
1. V2 mudguard
2. Screws

Step 1: First I removed the excess part from mudguard.





Step 2: Then I removed the screw which holds rear disk hose.

Step 3: Then i fixed the mudguard over it & screwed it tightly.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

There is a youtube link for PISTON exhaust full system for r15, but I don't know they can ship to India or not. The sound is so good even Akrapovic or Race Concept Exhaust pale.

Otherwise, you can contact Race Concept Team in Bangalore, they can ship to Chennai, Price will be around 15000/-, performance will increase upto 5%. And it is good. Below there is the picture.



Wait for the initial 100km, the engine will get adjusted after the service, if not then blame the mechanic who services you bike.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hey guys,

I bought my R15S from Walters Yamaha, Kilpauk, chennai. After 1st service the engine seems to be a little harsh as opposed to getting smoother. I still feel the engine getting hot in crawling traffic. Hope this is normal as I've just completed 1100 Kms in odo. Oil change, filter change and chain lubing were done along with polishing. Just wanted to know if there are any better authorised service centers in and around annanagar chennai. Would like to give to a new SVC next time.

Thanks.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Need some suggestions for a good aftermarket Slip-on exhaust for R15-S in Chennai. Anyone tried Leo-Vince cobra ? Need some inputs and dealer contact as well
