    Rub it with sand/emery paper. Check if the brake fluid is moving freely, as the rust could be forming due to lack of/ insufficient brake fluid supply i.e. lubrication.
    Yeah it's on the Disc Plate. But how come the brake fluid flowing through the Disk plate? It's in the Outer side of the disk.

      4. Some kind of stitching involved, or it just slides onto the seat?
      Sorry buddy, you know I don't have my old N79 anymore.
      Anyway, the cover costed some Rs.250, I picked it up from Orion Yamaha, Bangalore. Grips also from the same place.
      Seat cover is locally made, but they have put a Yamaha imprint on the sides&are selling it there itself. Grips are normal stuff.
      It is comfortable enough&fits very well.
      Fitting is just like any other bike's seat cover-they pull it around the seat&staple it underneath. Nothing special!

        Ok here is my first review of the bike after 3 weeks and 867 kms!

        Rode to Pondicherry a few days back. Every second of the ride was exhilarating and fun! No doubt in that. The bike responded well to all sorts of situations.

        EngineGearshift: The gear shift is smooth. At times I wonder if the gearbox is filled with butter! :P The position of the toe shifter i feel is fine, in contrary to other reviews in which people feel the position of the shifter is a bit high. One needs to get used to this i guess.

        No its not about speed, its about turning and shifting those gears!

One thing i noticed is that the radiator fan is not kicking in even though engine heat is untolerable ! The heat is becoming more and i am getting a kind of smell. Btw, engine oil was last changed 500kms ago. Never faced this issue before. Any ideas ?
          Did you check coolant level? if the coolant level is ok then its time to visit a Yamaha dealer as soon as possible

              If you can't wait for two months,then book your bike at the Yamaha Factory Shop,Wakdewadi,Pune.You will get the bike in maximum one month.My friend bought his R15 the same way.

                    No registration issues at all buddy.You can register it at your place.My friend also did the same,he rode the bike from Pune to Mumbai by not going above 60km/hr.Infact,he got the bike at a very much lesser price @ Rs.1,02,500/- for the red colour.Although the registration charges,insurance & other charges went upto Rs.7000/ after that-.But, even though, that's a descent price.But this was a few months ago,dont know the current price.Contact the pune showroom.

                        Ya,they will charge some 350 bucks for that temp no. & all that registration thingy.No cop problem.When,you bring the bike,you will have to get your bike registered from the RTO on your own.But that's not much an issue.

                            1. Are your tappets loose??? If yes get it corrected n also check the engine mounting bolts for vibration (there are three of them).

                            2. Change of engine oil will most probably solve this problem. Also lube your chain if it isn't.

                            3. Whats your idle RPM? It happened with me too. In my case the idle RPM was too low.

                              Vibrations will be gone after tightening all the fairings and the engine mounting bolts...oil change should take care of the roughness..
                              What do you mean by engine stops..?? Does it switch off completely?? Or is your bike misfiring..?? If first case then ask svc to check the spark plug cap..search the thread for details ... if the second case then it could be because of improper fuel.. go to svc ASAP... clean the injectors and drain the fuel tank and add fresh fuel..also clean the spark plug..

                              Do you run your bike on low fuel...??
                              after monday and tuesday, even the calendar says WTF!!

                                A Little Help here

                                Guys,
                                These days gear shifts are kind of irritating because there is this sound which comes when the gear engages. and its diff to come from 1st to 2nd gear. a touch lighter than usual it will goto neutral.

                                What is the prob actually? The SVC guys dont respond properly. 2 services have been done so far and gear shifting issues wont be there but occurs after some days of service.


                                And one more question. what should i use to remove the front sprocket cover? a regular 4 way spanner will do?



                                Thanks!

                                krishi
