check the first postOriginally posted by power1 View Post
sadly my only issues are a bad paint job/ cracking and rusting. The major problem is the unavailability of parts. The engine is OK. I can complain about a slightly hard shift from 2-3 but I fear that all the shifts will come out worseOriginally posted by navnish View Postokay done lets go on friday. lets take your list of issues .. i will be a eye witness and document everything regarding what inspection they do... lets see how much time they take to solve it .. so not risking it. I rectified the rear rotor heating by adjusting it myself.
Chain noise I still have so let's see what can be done about that. get your vehicle too and anyone else from bangalore can come with me.

So I asked what do you really do for servicing on an R15.
I made a note..
if there is sound.
if there is knocking sound.
Ashttey? Avdu
Maybe he is right
Sorry he did one thing for free, lubricate the front sproket and pivot points - which I already did 2 days back.
I got a call later asking myself to visit the service station to sign the customer satisfaction report.
Kudos to Yamaha! However, help us from this scam.
Mithun, Im waiting for your reply on what really happened from morning to evening, was it any different from the above mentioned stuff. Thanks dude.

Good job on the spreadsheet guys. I've put in my small inputs too. Like Archi, my problems are also mainly bad paint job&unavailability of spares. Even if they can't change the painting quality, they can definitely provide a better service&spares backup.Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

I had a call with a few yam guys the day the spread sheet was put up. Informed them the issues with r15's at xbhp.
They went thru it that day oly.
Good they have responded.
One Mr ..... would come and take a few pics :-P
Hope for the best.

@RED: They did all the above and cleaned the rear and front disks.. checked the coolant, brake fluids and topped them up.. The front disk pad was not there so i was waiting for it else my service would have not gone till evening.. and finally checked the air pressure and test rode it for me

ok..
Hmm.. so Panache was right, they don’t have to set the valve clearance or check it unless there is an issue.
But my gearbox has become jumpy in the first 2 gears – the smoothness has faded 60% since the first service.
Wonder if its not the right engine oil.
Brake pads wear more due to :-
Lack of engine breaking.
Overfilled Brake fluid – Above max will cause extra stress on the braking system, drag or even brake lock.
Discs overheating.
Dirty Discs.
And after all its business.
@Santa, hehe - breakpads usually don't have to be replaced for atleast 20k kms, Im sure 90% use their R15 in city alone.
@Mithun, I can bet you could have run another 8k kms on it without any serious breaking loss. did you try cleaning .. maybe with a sandpaper.
Perhaps the pads would have glazed over due to the heat off the discs, sand it and clean it with break cleaner..
BTB- Do you have the old pads?Last edited by RED; 12-11-2008, 03:09 PM.Comment

Guys i forgot to mentionOriginally posted by mithun.08 View Post even i had the rear break problem earlier . but i got a Clutch and break spray (Brake & Parts Clean) from Spar (banerkatta road ) its suppose to be used on break caliper pads and to wash of grease ..And the spray works well.. Some one who is facing break problems should test it out.
