    It takes a little getting used to but if you've already got it, all is well.

    Happy riding bud

        Don't go for the Rynox Nomad, they are big and they don't have the dexterity when loaded up, they droop down to one side. They are excellent quality bags, but aren't that great when loaded up. I'd suggest you go for Viaterra Claw series, the basic ones, they lock up easily on the R15 and they offer decent luggage room. They have three variants of the Claw if I remember, go for the mid variant, they are extremely useful and practical.

        Cheers!

        Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
        The girl said, 'NO!'


        And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

            Re: Yamaha YZF- R15 S Owners Reviews and Experiences

            Dear bikers,

            I bought R15S BS4 engine model on end of 2017 @ Chennai. I rode nearly 24k and I really love the smoothness, handling, braking and performance (Top speed 139 kmph).

            Maintaining speed btn 80-100. Its really awesome ride. Everyone will love that ride. Sometimes I felt like whether engine is on or off (very slient and no noise).

            I love night ride.

            Due to light, I can't enjoy the ride. most of car drivers are putting high beam and they won't switch low beam even I indicate. So I can't even see closer road also getting anger.

            Because of bs4 oneside light will be in on conditions. So I am too bothering about where new bulb will support for r15s, battery, visibility..

            Anyone could please suggest headlamp for bs4 engine without affecting battery, look of R15s.

            (If it is yellow it would be more helpful to get out from Police)

              The stock is best as you can get. If you want more yellow you can go for 3000 lumens yellow fog lights, those are the minimum yellowish lights available. Your stock lights are a perfect compromise between yellow and red. The stock rating is 35/35w that is the least number you can fix on your bike. Some members have even used 60/55 bulbs on the bike and have had good results. If you really like better throw I'd suggest you look for LED setup they offer better throw and beam spread. But, for the most part, your stock is the best as it can get. Though the reflectors aren't that great, which is a gripe all R owners have.

              Cheers!

                  Tagging in [MENTION=17086]Black[/MENTION]asp here, he is more into overhauling almost everything when it comes to R15, he's the right person to answer.

                          You can use soft spiked handlebar grips. These grips have ribbed/spiked protrusions. They offer good palm grip. They cost hardly 150 to 200 rupees and most auto shops have them, even some seat repair shops.

                              I am trying to rope him in here. Did you check with a mechanic nearby, at least they can help you out with the right sized T rod measurement. Easy peasy?
