HI Guys,
I am planning to buy R15 v3. I am 6'1'' tall and weigh around 80, I do get back problems sometimes but regular exercises keep them away (I am 33!). I am just in love with r15 v3 but people have been warning me about its aggressive stance and that it cant be used for daily commute. Can the owners please let me know if you are facing, wrist, shoulder or back problems or anything else. Apologies if this question has already been answered, I am unable to find anything similar.

Pain points differ from person to person. Does the stance give you cramps, aches, numbness, a definite yes. People confuse by being fit with no pain, that's not the case. A fit rider with all the bells and whistles still would have numbness and pains and cramps on a committed riding position, the taller the rider the more forward the bend, the more "possible pain points". These don't happen over normal rides, but say when doing a long rides, that's when the body silents starts to protest, and the threshold differs from person to person. For most it's the bums, for some it's the shoulder, for some it's the hamstring for some a combination of both.

If you love the bike, go for it. Figure out what paint points arise after say a 150 to 200 kms of ride, then adjust your breaks accordingly, that way you get adequate breaks and rest.

Hope it helps!

Cheers!

I'd experienced with FZ ,BTW am also the tall guy. (186 cms~)

Just because a helmet "looks" good doesnt mean its actually good.

EPS liners have a shelf life of 7years from production date.

This reduces to 5 years when in use.

This statement is given by SHOEI for their helmets.

Now for a helmet that is from a different brand and in a much lower price bracket, the life of the EPS liner changes.

If your friend is still using his whichever model LS2 since 2013, hes probably putting himself at a greater risk of EPS failure by continuing to use that helmet.

Does the half face helmet comes with EPS liners?

You might get wrist pains sure in traffic! (No doubt).

BTW it gives good mileage and new engine with 19.2 BHP .

PS: you can also try Pulsar RS200 ,by spending few thousand bucks you get a relaxed riding position with ABS brake .

Thanks for the reply[emoji1].
I cant understand pulsar; as in, there are so many variants that I am lost now.

Depends on which helmet you are talking about. Cheap half face helmets have cheap thin EPS liners. Infact I dont think they are worth calling liners at all

I have a body frame similar to you and I've owned the bike for 3 months completing around 2200km. I didn't get any pain in my shoulder or back ever. Only wrist pain is there if you ride with pillion for distances above 20km at a stretch

Thanks dude... I really wanted to hear that. I always wanted R1 family vehicle... Didnt had money back then but now I can manage but Yamaha people made the riding position very committed, hence was in doubt if I am making the right call or not.

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

Hello
Anyone have changed the stock indicators of their bike?
If yes then please tell me the procedure or any fitted photo
The stock ones look a little bulky for the kind of bike it is
Thanks.
