you only inquired or buyed it at 690rs

I had bought them 4months back for Rs.690 and again when i inquired 2-3weeks back for a friend for availability the prices were same.

I Replaced my both rear and front disc pads for 695 and 425 just last friday from YFS Pune.

Today I bought both disk pads. First, Panache Bangalore asked 1100+ for rear one. I called Orion, bangalore to check the prices. It was 690 for the rear pad. Went and bought rear disk pad for 690 and front one for ~430.
Also price difference for Engine Oil Filter, Panache 400+ whereas Orion 167.

I guess they belong to different batches (?), but the same products

is that means price of spare rased because earlier price of yamalube ss was 415 and yesterday svc guys charged me 450rs. when i ask for it they replied yamaha rased ther price from 20 april but mrp on can was 415

Looking at all this price hikes i am planning to stock FS oil cans, oil filter for atleast 6 oil changes and also keep break pads and stock bearings with me so i dont need to run like fool and pay high money to this chaps.


EDIT : has anyone tried refueling their coolant levels by doing DIY way?

i have a dent on the southwest part of the tank considering the tank-cap as center, it'l be around 4sqcm area and 1 cm deep approx. happened in an accident.i plan to change it eventually but heard it costs 8k intotal with pump etc. please advise, on need for replacement and costs.

tank will cost 4k ... just change that ... i don;t think there is any prob with pump ... if dent is only on tank which not affecting functionality .. then u need to spend only 4k ...

just visit other service center

thankyou.since its not really deep i guess the components inside would not have got damaged. 4k it is. cheers.

YFS got the stock of rear disc pads? good

@ 2008 Onwers
Anyone have changed faired/panels of R15 which provided by Yamaha FREE of COST for old model?

Even i had thought of this , but the brake pads are not available for counter sale. U will have to get them installed at the SVC . Dunno about the oil though.

Has anyone heard of asbestos based brake pads, i agree they are not original as asbestos is banned.

But i have seen many karizma owners, hunk owners using the same and it lasts same as original and cost 40% less than original.

Please stick to forum etiquette. No SMS lingo.

You can't prevent it, but can touch it up using black paint or nail-polish, or even a black marker (I use this )

Date of production. New ones cost lesser.

Yes, the fuel meter is funny.
The one's who filled 17 litres either had a custom made large fuel tank, or were taken for a ride by the fuel bunk to the tune of atleast 4-5 litres.

You are right! New ones cost lesser.

Smart decision regarding stocking up. But hoarding is a different thing.
6 oil changes = 18000 Kms (6 x 3000 Kms per change). How long do you think you will complete 18k Kms in?
Keep in mind the oil will not last for donkey years. It will cease to be effective if stored long, & especially if not stored properly.

South-west part! How did you come up with that. Won't the south-west part of the tank change with the direction your bike is facing?
Why fix something that isn't broken? Replace the tank if you think it is an eyesore. The fuel pump should be ok & wouldn't require replacement.

Yes, my bike is purchased in May-09, & 20P1 series. I got the fairings replaced FOC (Free Of Cost) under warranty 2 months back. It is called the burning kit.

Do you get the pads for the R15 spec? Even if yes, I would advise against it.
"it lasts same as original" is different from "it performs same as original". If both are the same in this case, considering a 40% savings, go for it.

^^^ Tibby back with a Bang... good to see you after such a long time brother...

Thanks Tibby !!

What is inside of this burning kit?? what is the use?

I am waiting for my kit, may be it will come with in few days
