I'm sorry! I'm not sure if it burns skin, but it surely needs to be kept away from skin. Brake fluids are poisonous, and hence harmful to humans.
They are also corrosive in nature, and will spoil paint if it falls accidentaly on the bike. Hence be extremely cautious.
Do some Googleing on DOT4 & precutions, before working with it.

My Simple Belief: Don't trust the SVC, unless it belongs to your dad, or you. The coolant is probably adulterated.
Solution: Do yourslef & your pocket a favour. Buy a can of ready to use coolant (no water mixing needed). Costs INR 330 for a 1L bottle of Motocool.

Not sure if it is technically bad for the bike, but is definitely not advised. Stick to 1 brand as far as practical.

The burning smell does come at times, and I'm sure its normal. If it is too frequent, get the bike checked, including the radiator fan.
The radiator fan will not kick in always. Like you know, it comes into play only when the engine heats up (due to riding at low revs), and its more likely to kick in on hot days than on cool evenings.

The coolant reservoir is 250ml, so the bike can't have consumed 700ml.
Don't worry, if the raditor is malfunctioning, one of the lights will spring to life. Get the bike checked for peace of mind.
What happened to your B'lore plans?

@sharan R

Thanks a ton! ...just what i have been looking for, hope it helps, but without a main stand i think im gonna need some help with this!

one month on and i feel my rear brakes aren't the way they are supposed to be. I feel i have to apply too much pressure, and the rate at which it slows down is a bit on the high side i think....could someone help me out on this. Is it just me or do the brakes need a check?

I've been to hills once and it did not kick in.I ride in traffic and it does not kick in,I feel her overheating but it does not kick in. I'm unable to adjust to the fact that the radiator fan has kicked in just once in about an year(9500 kms) of mostly in-city riding.

I guess the burning smell comes with all the r15's. But mine has been smelling a bit more for the past couple of weeks than it used to.

I read about the corrosive properties of brake fluid, but I used to think that it was limited only to painted plastics and not to human skin. Thanks for letting me know.

Laata hu kal hi

Hmm..

But it should kick in when the bike is heating enough that I'm unable to place my hand near the right fairing, shouldn't it? It doesn't.

I think that the coolant reservoir was 1 liter, I did not put the coolant in after measuring it, I just saw the reservoir and it was about 1/3rd full before the top up, hence the presumption on my part.

Will get it checked at the 6th and last free service which is just a couple of weeks from now.

My bangalore plans are still very much on my mind. I've decided to ride to bangalore, been looking up some delhi-bangalore threads to serve as references. I'm currently sourcing funds for the bangalore project.

We went to Yamaha showroom the other day to take a TD of R15. My friend is thinking of buying one. I and so does he want to know more about R15.
1. SC guy told us that first lot of R15 were a lot better than current model. He even insisted to buy second hand R15 from first lot instead buying new . How true is that?
2. He also told us that R15 does need to change fuel pump ( or pipes, filter don't remember exactly) very frequently if we keep using regular fuel.
3. Sales man said it can't give average more than 35 in any condition, but I see many of you're getting more than 40,how's that?
4. what's general expense for servicing?
5. Are the rumors about new r15 coming true? when is it coming? worth waiting?
6. Which showroom is good in Pune?
Thanks.

May be u are right, i didn't try high speed riding on RTR 180 myself. Yes, the rider may be, he always tries to save fuel while driving the bike in lower rpms, even if it gives the engine heart attacks.

Guys Which petrol is best for R15?
Normal Unleaded or Super petrol?
and which one is the best fuel station you guys prefer ?
1.Bharat petroleum?
2.Shell?
3.Indian oil?
4.HP?
5.or any other?

and is their any difference with normal unleaded petrol or super? i heard engines whose compression is above 9-10 will play full role of super fuel...is it really true? and R15 is having compression ratio 10:1 something.

Dude, i would suggest you to use the shell petrol, i have been using the shell normal petrol for almost an year.This has never got me into any trouble and giving me a good milage also.

Other petrol bunks i usually avoid them as they would serve you with the quality and the quatity that you are supposed to get.

Basically this radiator fan kicking issue i faced after my first service and then while servicing i was there when he filled the coolant asking all details and i came to know if the coolant falls at half level then cooling frequency goes down and radiator kicks at faster rate.

thanks you sir for the post
ok will go for shell always, and how is the shell super petrol? i searched on Google and some ppl says that super petrol is not to be used regularly why they saying so? they said super petrol have some cleaning agents so for example if you wash your clothes daily it will not look good and wil become rough same thing is here with super petrol too, they say we should use both alternately and i asked Yamaha SVSs they say use whichever you want but don't change now here i become more confuse ....i don't know what to say some also say super petrol is good for long rides not for city use. am totally confuse with this super and normal fuel thing, so now i am here with this confusion .....

Sure the Shell Super has some additives that make it burn the petrol more efficiently. I guess For R15 engines, it won't create much a problem.

i believe there are many R15 riders who use the Shell super regularly. Also while going for regular services, i was offered an additive by the service centre guy, and advised me to mix it with fuel when i fill the tank next time. so i believe this is not an issue that you have to break your head .

ok till now i was using shell super but yesterday i got filled with shell normal because the super fuel price is becoming super and super day by day, here in bangalore its 75.46 per liter something damn .....that why i tried normal this time i.e 72.46 per liter something, and can you tell me the name of that additive offered by yamaha ppl.
and can anyone tell me whats the harm in changing fuel brand alternately? why yamaha ppl says to use one type of fuel regularly?

svc guys had asked me change sprockets.........my byk has completed 15000kms....is it true??

^^ yup... the front sprocket wears out faster than the rear one.

I've completed>16000Kms , no changing required, it depends upon the wear pattern also, for me the svc guys did not ask for replacement either for the smaller 1 or the rear one.
