    Long waited LED headlight had arrived. Purchased from Ali Express for INR 1800. It say 30W per bulb which means both high and low combined. So with low beam on single led its just 15watts and on high beam its 30watts for the pair. Led driver wont allow both high and low beams together if pass light switch is pressed. The power is more or equal to 60watt halogen. Color temperature is around 6500K with no glare and sharp cutoff. Over all I am happy with the purchase. Yet to adjust the focus on the reflector.

    3) Is the fi system same as your old one (open loop)?
    No and the electricals are single phase compared to 3 phase of v1

    CHEERS

[MENTION=83375]Santhu Shyam[/MENTION], you may be right.He always chase r15, if he see it in his videos. Apache RTR 200 is good street bike with refinement not seen in old rtr series (i test ride one)..

    1. No vibration in R15S, if you have then check and tighten the screws , especially on Visor
    2. Yes , its handles similar to V1 [not same, as V2/S has slightly longer wheelbase]
    3. FI system has same specs , but different vendor and ECU also different vendor
    4. i didn't find much different wrt, rpm , old one also does 100kmph @7k rpm , same with New one , only Top speed got reduced in new one and on the positive side the new one has good power distribution

He doesn't even know how to ride in a road and just by wearing a jacket and gloves and having a GoPro, he's boasting himself as a rider! But in reality he is just a bullshit who don't know anything!
    If you notice it carefully, you will find that he's always trying to degrade all R15's. So stop watching his videos!

    anyway, thanks for your info. But now I have a big doubt, there is an youtube channel named JTRipper saying in his motovlog that R15S has 2 valve & R15 V2 has 4 valve and both doesn't sport same engine.It is really shocking for me whether to believe this or not. That youtube video says even R15s has flat response in mid range rpm and very slow in building revs compared to r15 v1. Is R15s has openloop FI system (no O2 sensor) or Closed loop FI like CBR, RS200 & Gixxer SF and Upcoming RTR 200 FI?

Since you owned both, kindly answer my queries below when comparing to your YZF R15 V1

    1) Is there fairing vibrations in R15S?
    2) Is it flickable and handles good like your R15 V1?
    3) Is the fi system same as your old one (open loop)?
    4) would you compare the speeds at 8k rpm,9k rpm & 10k rpm at 5th & 6th gear?

    And the top speed I was able to reach was 122-125km/hr.
    [MENTION=80357]Rajarshi Mandal[/MENTION] Thanks..I need to ask few things about service,should I pm my questions?

    1) In top gear, at what rpms it does 80 km/hr, 90 km/hr and 100 km/hr?Kindly reply with rpm and speed.
    2) What fuel efficiency one can expect by consistently riding at 90-100 km/hr at 5th gear on highways?
    3) Is the windblast tolerable at 100km/hr?


    Help me. You can reply in this thread or PM me or you can reply in my "what bike" thread - "A bike only for Touring under a budget of 1 lakh to 1.7 lakh rupees"

    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
