Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

Hi Nitrosatya,
I just bought mine on this 25th. I have checked the same on my bike because i was following this thread since a week or two. I dont see any misalignment. Please do check with your nearest service centre.

Engoy your baby r6. Mine is in racing blue color by the way and i cant keep my eyes off it.

Ride safe. Cheers.

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

If someone has the workshop manual for R15 v3 please let me know!!

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

For me also the right side rider footpeg is vibrating more than the left side. Anyone have any fix?

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

Hi, I did my third free service day before yesterday and mentioned them the same! Left is smooth but right one vibrates. But again, as usual, no use!(tightening the pegs or lubing/cleaning makes the vibration subdued for one day after which it comes back again)

I learned to live with it as the vibrations are not soooo high and is within it's limits!

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

You can try changing the pegs to one's which offer more insulation, but the vibes will never really go away

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

Anyone here knows about the price of the front master cyclinder of R15 v3 abs?

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

B9EF580A00 MASTER CYLINDER SUB ASSY 1342rs

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

Thanks alot. I hope this is the nissin one which is given with MT15 nd the v3 abs version.

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

yes it is. all 4 Yamaha abs bikes (fzv3/fz25/mt15/r15v3) have same master cylinder and caliper setup for front and back.

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

I wanted to change the front brake lines ( hose) to steel braised ones instead of the rubber ones that come standard. The problem is mine is ABS model. Non ABS model you can directly swap the cable from Pulsar 220 which is steel braided from factory without any modifications.
I don't know which brake line to get for the ABS version. Anyone swapped their ABS model brake lines? Any Help is Appreciated!

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

You can try KTM 390's abs brake lines which are steel braided. measure first before buying because 1 piece cost around 2k. but on an abs bike it won't really make a difference going to steel braided from rubber lines. i don't have r15, but on my fz25 (abs retrofit) i'm using ktm brake hose for front. and there's no difference compared to rubber hose. both bikes have same brake setup so i doubt r15 will act different.

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

Hi all

I m new here. I am from Hyderabad. I have Yamaha R15 V3 NON ABS Model which I bought in April 2018. This is my first bike.
Recently I started to upgrade my bike specially my brakes.

First change is the engine oil which I shifted to Motul 300V2 10W50. The bike feels more peppier than before and bit more smooth and less vibie. One ting is the major vibration for R15 V3 is from the pillion foot rests and am not able to do anything to remove those.

Next are the brakes which I think has been my bike's weakest point from beginning. Point to note here is that my roommate also has the same bike which he bought only 15 days prior to me, but his brakes are awesome. Both front and rear have great bite and stopping power. Whereas for me only front was good but it really used to flex pretty soon with hard braking. Rears were absolutely pathetic. No stopping power and no bite at all. Initially after around 2000kms I started feeeling them working a bit but they used to get locked very easily. Then the service center guy did something and since then that even stopped working. Don't know why this difference. I have been telling the service center guys regarding the issue in all servicing but they never resolved the issue. They just used to do some minor adjustments and give it back without any major change in behavior. Till now they never bled my brakes..

Anyways I have changed my front brake lines to steel braided ones, the one from Pulsar 220F. Also have got both my front and rear brakes bleed properly. The front now feels more progressive. But I will reserve the final verdict for later this month since my brake pad are also new. Have to see the rear performance for next few days.

The next upgrade I m looking for are the brake pads which I m thinking to go for EBC Double HH Sintered brakes pads.

Does anyone have any experience with these brake pads or installed in there R15 V3? I would like to know how is the brake feel in terms of initial bite and progression and overall stopping power. Also what is the brake-in period of these pads?

Please suggest any other mods that might be useful for improving the braking with some links.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

I have been told by my SVC that to put BS6 varient of R15/MT15 or any other BS6 on Fi station, it requires a different adapted to connect to MID port. Is this true?
Please confirm if anyone have seen such thing.

Re: Yamaha R15 v3 ownership

It is true. All FI bikes have OBD connectors for them to detect and clear any error codes. This specific tool is a special reader, that will be present with the SVC guys. Almost all Yamaha bikes that are Fuel Injected will have these ports to connect to the diagnostic tool.

Cheers!
