      That's right and they might not understand my problem too.

        They might create another problem. I don't think it's too much of an issue coz the bike rides fine when you steer.

          Definitely, when my hands are on, I have no problem.

              I know a solution for this.

              *Kindly sit straight on the bike*

              PS : The handle is present for a reason unless you are trying to build a self balancing motorcycle.

              Please don't force people to believe this because it only creates doubts and nothing else. I've seen this *pulling* issue being mentioned in every motorcycle ownership thread.

                But this was not the case with other bikes I owned. Anyways I just acknowledged with a fellow rider opinion.

                    Hi kid!

                    See this : https://youtu.be/oSYBm9b2XK8
                    Already reported here.

                    Please stop comparing things in senseless way.
                    Every bike has its own share of problems. RR too has its problems. Don't deframe a brand / bike with baseless logic.

                    Its we (yes you and me) who are the end consumers. And if we all be honest then we all will get better service from brands

                      Just got my 1st service done yesterday. Tho I was shocked to see the price of Yamaha Sporty Premium just Rs 343/- and they claim it to be Full Synthetic. Its just me or you guys too don't digest the FS BS in such a price.

                          I took a test drive of the bike and I didn't find its seating position comfortable at all.

                              I got my R15 on 6th of Aug. Its running fine and I am riding it under 5k rpm everytime. The thing is on 15th of Aug, I noticed that when I leave the handle bars with both the hands while riding, the bike tends to go left. On other bikes, we go straight. Did anyone had tried it??
                              It's not a problem with the bike. The problem is with the seating posture. I faced the exact same thing in my R15S within one month of purchase. I had been riding a Pulsar till that time and sitting in a crouched position was new to me. Same goes to the position when I take off my hands. With the knees bent inside, it's kind of tough to sit straight in R15 when riding hands free and since our left foot will be under the gear lever, it kinds of adds more pressure to the left and the bike steers left when you take off your hands. We usually keep the right foot above brake lever and this is what creates the imbalance when you take your hands off. But you can get it right by practicing. I did and now my bike goes straight as an arrow with my hands off.

                                Need to try that. I asked my neighbour about that. He has a V3 too. He told me that he goes straight when he rides with no hands. I shall ride his bike and try it on his bike too and see if it tends to go left due to my posture.
