    On me getting R15s , well needed 2nd bike for local commute and wife not comfortable on GT , so has to get S model , no other bike comes close with reliability/tech/style to R15. V1 has to sell after owning it for 7 years and 80k kms on odo
    Can you compare R15 and cbr250's maintaining and regular service cost...?? I want to know whether the maintenance cost of cbr250 is double of R15's or it is like 20-25% more only.

    TIA

    Hey Guys!
    After long deliberation I have decided to go with the R15S. Could you please tell me as to what should I look for while purchasing this bike. I am not asking about the PDI checks. Its something that you as a R15 owner and buyer have identified that is speccific to this bike. Thanks in advance!!

The moment pass light switch is released high beam will be off and low beam will be on. On the costlier led bulb like luxeon MZ chips one can make both low and high beam will light up.
    Can you make a small video of your headlamp working with the LED, plus the pass switch, hi/low working so that folks who have these doubts can get idea on what they're looking after.

    Cheers!

    Hello bhpians, mine completed 16k kms but chain rubs with rubber placed on upper side of swing arm. Chain slack seems normal though. Any suggestions? Also checked a friend of mine who owns 2014 model v2 and found his stock chain is 'DID' make. Whereas 2015 R15S has Rolon. Dont know why. Eventhough I used to clean and lube regularly, I am not satisfied with stock chain sprocket.

    Sorry, am noob in this section!

    Yes. Left ON while Low Beam is ON. Both ON while High Beam ON.
    That's cool! Thank you! And how is the product reliability? Is that fine?

    In few LEDs, you cannot make both beams ON pressing the pass switch while the LO beam is ON. Only the HI beam will lit up at that time.
    But in Halogens, you can.

    I didn't understand that! Every bike does the same, right? I mean when we press the pass light switch, both of the lights glow in all of our bikes, i.e the high beam just gets lit!
    Please explain me in detain if possible!

    I don't think so. Probably 25W for 3 LEDs.
    It says if I turn low beam or high beam whatever, it will consume only 50W (25Wx2).
    The unique feature of these LED is when I press the Pass Light Switch, the low beam automatically switches off & High Beam turns on, like P220s, and that is very good feature of not wasting 100W at that time.
    Satisfied after the purchase.

    The one I bought also got similar setu up. Low and high beam wont glow together. I bought with cooling belt setup and yours have solid aluminium fin. The led chips are standard generic ones consuming 2watt per chip. Anyways i will check with multimeter to measure power draw
