    It comes with a saree guard, which doesn't have a footrest(at least mine didn't have), so only option is bike's rear footrest. However I believe you can install an aftermarket saree guard with in built footrest which should be more comfortable.

    How often is she going to sit behind you?

    Regards.

        You got 2 options -

        1. Buy R15S. Invest in widening on the seat by adding some cushioning sideways. Invest in an aftermarket saree guard with welded footrest. For occasional use, she'll be fine.

        2. Look for some other bike with flatter rear seat.

        Regards.

It will cost you 200 rs and is a direct fit on R15. Other options will cost you a huge amount of money. I have been using the RX100 stand for 3 years now and it the best option. whenever you need to wash the bike, pop the stand between the 2 metal hoops and slide the center pin across, then straighten up the bike and use your foot to keep the stand in place and use your hands on handle bar and pipes of the rear foot pegs.
            I have the center stand which my service center guys use, bought it for close to 800 bucks. What I noticed was, a couple RX100 type stands I looked around in local shops looked kinda fragile with thinner tubes, this svc one is built solid.

            (But I wanted to save some bucks too)

            Cheers.

                Hey bro, I am not sure if the RX100 stands you saw were original or not. There are a lot of duplicate spares available, the one I bought is original for RX100 and is solid built and heavy, and even after 3 years no rust or paint chipping. Yes, if you say that you want it for R15, any shopkeeper or service center will charge you 800RS, they think that if we can afford an expensive bike, we can buy expensive stand, and its their right to charge extra. I just asked for RX100 main stand and pin, without the spring. Did not mention R15 anywhere. they said it costs 200 Rs. I just paid and left. Someone in this very thread had told me that it is a direct fit and he was using it himself for quite a while. So I trusted his advise and it worked.
                I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

                  +1 for your points. RX100 stand does the job pretty well for more than an year.

                    Yep bro, I believe those were not original ones, didn't feel like one.
                    Even I got the advise somewhere in this forum for RX100 ones.

                    Happy riding.

                      Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

                      Hi guys, has anyone tried fitting the fish-gill fairing of V2 to R15S? I kind of like the V2 fairing as compared to the S fairing. I guess it won't affect the bike in any way if this modification is done. I'm thinking of adding the white/red V2 fish-gill fairing to a red R15S. If any of you have done it, can you provide me a rough estimate of the price? If you have pictures, it's all the more good And whether its okay to do this in a new R15S?

                      Thanks and happy riding.

                        Hi guys,

                        After long discussions i booked my r15s(Track White) on last Monday with down payment of 10k. SVC guys said bike will be delivered by next month 7 for sure. Excited to get my hands on her. Will update you guys soon.

                        One of my doubt is in all BS4 bikes AHO is mandatory. Is it possible to add Headlight on/off switch manually without taking risks.

                          Pradeep,
                          You can replace the current switch kit with that of old switch kit assembly on the right side and things will be fine .

                            I have a query. A weird one though

                            When we are in low-beam, and you press the pass button, it activates the High beam for that instant. Can we do the same while we are on a high beam to activate the low bean for that instant, so that vehicle in front of us will give way.

                            Any thoughts if this is possible or not.

                              Nope. While you're on high beam, both the lights will be glowing and the pass light switch won't work.
