    Hi bro! that's exactly what it is!! I found it while inspecting my bike and during the first service they did something and it was not there for a day and since then, it again came... Do you know any workarounds??? also the rider's right footpeg is vibrating more than the left... any ideas to get that resolved? it's a little irritating while cruising between 75 and 85kmph because of that buzz

      What I did was I put a little bit of feviquik on the clip[emoji14][emoji12]. And it worked.

        but then you won't be able to open/close the footpeg right? :/

          You can. Just apply it in a way that there is not too much on it so that it won't stick that much

            hehe thank you for the advice... will try it tomorrow

            btw may I know if the switch sound at 7400rpm varies between bikes? In the test bike I drove (also a brand new one), I was able to hear the switch at 7400rpm but in mine I'm not able to... Is it normal?

              Nothing to worry. The switch happens when the VVA opens, and sometimes you might hear and not hear, don't bother. As long as the VVA displays on the screen, there's nothing to worry. Consider yours smoother.

              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.


              THE END

                  Totally normal bro. I have a defined click sound when vva kicks in. It's normal.

                    Can we put 110/70 tyres in the front and 150/60 in the rear?

                      Not sure about the front but rear could be possible as I had a duke 200 before running on 150/60 stock and I upgraded it to 140/70...

                          and i am satisfied with the servicing they have done to my v3 ..
                          They check the whole system with their computers ..and there was showing all informations on the screen..

                          woah [emoji32] i have to say that v3 has some high tech level of system and sensors that monitors all the engine and electronic functions..
                          they connected the computer with the bikes ECU..

                          When dignosing ..they found some problem with Engine RPM .. which they solved by adjusting the timing chain thing.. and now there is nearly no vibrations at all..
                          and they also said milage will also increase now.... [emoji2]

                          Only compain is that the polishing guy asked for 100rs tip.. but its ok.. 100 rs is no big deal...

                          and i also installed the Usb charger .. which only costs 750 rs ..and no extra charge [emoji2]
                          and 2nd servicing costs was 774 rs.. oil change , oil filter change , chain cleaning and chain lubricating ..

                          YES YAMAHA...
                          Hi there, myself own MT15 and completed 1000km. 1st service done at 500km. I have a query. My mt15 vibrates a lot at 5000 to 7000 rpm and I can feel it on the handlebar and front foot pegs. Took to the service centre but no solution. Tried changing the handle bar end weights with heavy ones. To some extent it got reduced on the handlebar but not completely. Initial itself , I was disappointed as I expected a lot from this bike and Yamaha. Help me out.

                            He said nearly no vibrations. That basically means, vibrations are present but not to an extreme level.
                            Several factors affect the vibrations on a bike.
                            For starters, it's a single cylinder. Every single cylinder bike vibrates at certain rpm.

                              Hello guys.

                              I wanna know the part number and price of the front brake master cylinder of R15 v3 and the clamp holding it to the handlebar. I'd also like to know if it is the same as R15 v1/v2.

                              Thanks in advance.

                                Hello everyone,
                                Does anyone feel that the handle bar is little bit misaligned? I feel my bike's clipons are not equally fitted. Sometimes feels as if the bike is leaning to left. And sometimes it feels leaning to right.
