Is the current problem because of adulterated petrol or because of some other problem.
    Last servicing was done at 10.5k kms.

    I do not think that might be due to fuel (shifting from 91 octane to normal 87 octane). might be due to adulteration or might be due a psychological feeling that you changed from a better pump to a BPCL.

      Hello brothers.....
      After my bike's 3rd servicing ....its feeling much more harsher ....dont know why.....
      one problem I could figure out was the chain not lubed properly and its giving the same old screeching sound.....
      Is there any probability of chain being overtightened too....

      Can there be any other reasons......guys please help me out on this....

      really feeling unhappy while riding....for the first time...

        i booked my r15 in April and was given 50-60 waiting days and was promised delivery in first week of May.
        what do you guys think?
        will i get the new model?
        or should i cancel my booking?
        i personally think the performance of new model will lower(fat tyres) so is the new model worth waiting again?

        Frankly saying the new R15 has broader tyres but when it comes to grip and stability it looses in front of current R15, take the example of FZ16, Pulsar 220 or fazer they are broader than R15 but when it comes to riding in different conditions the friction caused is much higher than the existing R15 tyres. So in that case the broader tyre looses badly in performance front. I agree as some say top speed is higher, looks are different but broader tyre in my personal opinion is not effective in cornering, braking as the current ones are. The thing to consider over looks is the friction which causes when you take the bike on highway at considerable speeds.

        This is my personal opinion. rest choice depends on the owner.
        Hey guys how can you say about the lack of performance when you haven't really seen it and tested it..
        And yeah flatter will reduce performance but yamaha is there to take care of it. As per company's impression they will not compromise with performance. Let's see when it is launched.

        And you are right that he performance might go down because the news has it that it is only cosmetic upgrade.
        Dude the current model rear is completely odd as compared to the front. The rear part is just like any other bike in the market and it doesn't suits overall look of the bike.

                    Well... Finally I'm an owner of R15 and So here is my first post here !!

                    Got my bike serviced today after 650 kms on odo.

                    But they billed me Rs. 900 for changing some filters and other stuffs. Do I have to pay this amount on every servicing ??

                      About charging they will charge you for oil, air filter and oil filter always. The only charge that is excluded in free service is the labour charge

                              it will cost u bomb....if u change the parts...if you repaint it it wont give you perfect finish. plus you have to change the colour in registration certificate.
                              and moreover red looks more sexy..
