Guys, need some help here.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Its not coming to India in most probability



Yes, ABS is going to become mandatory from Next year.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Can anyone help me out with a good service center here in Kolkata.
I went to Velocity Motors and they messed up my bike. My 2nd free service is coming up in 3 days. I need a good service center really soon.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

I hope no. Next gen V3 doesn't have too in the international markets. They might release with abs in India if the indian govt makes it mandatory.

Is ABS going to come in R15?

Trying new chain lube

Hi good folks,

Tried something new today.

As I've mentioned on occasions here, I've been using Yamaha's gear oil as a chain lube for my R15S's 500-700 KMs chain lubing which I do myself. WD40/Zorrik remains the cleaning agent. So far so very good, as the gear oil really helped keeping the chain well lubed. However, today I realized that the rear rim always gets coated in a layer of greasy substance with so much dust, which clearly is the gear oil splashes from the chain. That made me thinking while I was having the routine bike wash. The rear rim always gets dusty even though I clean both rims with my chain cleaning schedule.

Looks like it was time to try a new lubing agent. I'm not a fan of water based lubes e.g. the Yamalube spray which they use in SVC, but that's always one option albeit an expensive one. So in my search I noticed this thing in the neighborhood shop - Arrowchem Adhesive lube spray.



After cleaning the chain, I proceeded to spray this thing, at that moment I realized its a sticky gel/gum like lube which gets sprayed in the form of foam though.(I should've known from the word - Adhesive, duh!). Now, I yelled f@ck it and proceeded to lube the complete chain with this thing, which ended in the chain becoming shiny and sticky, looked well lubed though by a touch. It says on the bottle that it prevents rust, is water and salt proof.

My question is - did anyone try it or something like it so far and what has been their experience with the adhesive type lubes?

(I'll be ditching the gear oil lubing for a while so my option is this or the water based lubes)

Cheers.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

A slipper clutch, USD forks and LED headlamps are additions too in V3. The former is not a must have on a 155cc bike, however the other two are significant additions. Of course, a lot depends on when Yamaha launches this in India. I feel it will be priced at a slight premium over the FZ25

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi There,
I assume you would have done your research before you arrived to the conclusion that the R15-S fits your needs (For the single seat) which is much more usable for a pillion rider than the split seat set-up on the R15 V2.

If that is the case then I suggest it does not make sense for you to wait for the R15 V3, as even if it does get launched in India by end of this year, it will still miss out on the single seat and the relative comfort factor of the S.

However if you want an out and about sportsbike like the V2 then you can consider waiting (but keep in mind the launch of v3 in India is only a rumour for now and Yamaha has not issued any official statement or launch date)

Another thing you must give a thought to is the Price, I am fairly sure the R15 V3 will command a premium price over the outgoing model.

Apart from all this I guess its not a major update as you are only gaining 3 HP more and the chassis, etc remains the same. Just my 2P on this!

Cheers!
