MOTUL c1 for cleaning the chain and MOTUL c2 for lubing

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

If you're chain is getting rusted, use kerosene to wash the chain with a tooth brush and make sure you clean the chain thoroughly first. Then, wipe the chain dry and make sure you use gear oil and make sure it's lubed well. The reason it's getting rusted is due to the water quality and the roads that it is running on. The key is to make sure the existing rust is cleaned off well, and the chain lubed well. Too little lube will cause rusting given the right circumstances.

Hi Rahul,

How've you been? Can you confirm which lube are you using? Also are you sure that there is rust coming off and not just general grime?

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

That's indeed a satisfying list of procedures carried out. I am surprised, all this was done for free and on a goodwill basis? Secondly, the matte black scheme, did they repaint the side fairings or replace it with a new one? Rest assured, I'd like to know the CEO email ID to which you sent the mail.

Cheers!

Removed and placed.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences


So those brake pad shim/backing plates were available as a separate spare or do they come with a set of new pads? or was it removed from another bike and installed in yours ?

You can go ahead and ask extra cushioning on the Front and back with Pinned seat availability. This has multiple color options but to be frank you wont feel comfortable after extra cushioning as your Legs wont lonk with the Fuel Tank to actually get the experience on road.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Good morning , my bike’s seat is too hard and I am feeling uncomfortable while riding the bike especially in the city and highways too . Two months back , i have put the foam sheet but still it dint satisfy me ! I have googled and searched for gel seat for R15s, they have only for R15 single seat version ! Pls help me !

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Surely lets see if they solve it or bluff me . Whatever be the outcome , I would post photos of what they have done to the rear braking platform with the bike. Lets see how is the treatment of the bike.

Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

Good job man, very very few people do take up their complaints professionally in writing to appropriate authorities, many are happy simply ranting on social media
if your brake pads came with the shims/backing plates then you should definitely be using them. sometimes they (pad backing plate, the metal spring clips) get lost and can be a pain finding them individually.
Let's hope they fix it properly, and do let us know the final outcome of how/what they repaired/replaced it.
about 'action' being taken on the svc guys, nothing will be done to them.. they will continue their monkeying
