i think the guy is asking lot as recently i bought a used 2009 feb r15( blue ) in 65k but there was a problem the rpm meter was not working properly it was like this :-


the owner told me that it is repairable in Yamaha svc but after purchasing the bike when i went to svc the svc guy said it is not repairable and new meter cost more than 3500
so plan of doing some DIY and opened the meter in home







after DIY happy me

Hey Buddy, did you happen to find any solution to this problem? My bike gave me the same trouble and I took it to the free servicing camp at Pearl Yamaha n they just cleaned the air filter n other stuff n complained that the petrol had water in it!! But changing the Petrol didn't help!!

BTW, I am from Hyderabad...any other hyderabad R15 owners facing the same problem?

Hi fellow xbhpians ....
This is the first time I have joined such a wonderful community. I got my R15 2 days back.
Here's some pics of my new red hot R15 :





I bought this beauty from Yamaha Factory Shop , Wakdewadi Pune. I booked the bike on 27 April and got delivery on 24 May . Almost a month (could not even sleep properly during that month). But I was unsatisfied by this delay. I think I should have got delivery within max 20 days. Worth waiting though.
Another thing is ,those people kept my bike in showroom (as a show piece) also (it didn't had any id but I am damn sure). I could see such R15s in showroom which had a tag "SOLD" on them when I booked my bike. Irritating when people touch,seat on the bike for which you have paid 1.1 Lac :-(
Too good bike. I realize now why its price tag is so high. But worried about few things :
1) Experiencing some wrist pain when I drive (hope that will be gone after some time)
2) I hear some weired sound when I down shift gears.

Is this sound usual for a new bike ? Which chain oil is good for R15 (my friend is suggesting me Motul) ?
Also the front disk brakes are not so sharp. The showroom guy said it will be fine once I use it.
How many kms should I consider as running in period? What speed and RPM limit should I keep while I am in Running is period ?

@maverick: Get an avatar ASAP.

Got mine for 80K, 6K Kms done, few add-ons like irc tyres on the rear, HID and its a 2010 Oct registered btw, so you be the judge

First of all Congrats for getting the beautiful machine.
As per your queries:
1.- you need to get used to sitting posture and make sure that you dont put your body weight on your hands , which I think you doing resulting in wrist pain. Your body weight needs to be on your butt and thighs.

2.- What weird sounds are you hearing while downshifting??? be a little more specific it will help us to clarify the problem.

3.- From the SVC you can buy Motul Chain Lube and Cleaner it will be good. But before that you should know how to do it, as excessive lube on chain is also not good.

4.- Front disc will get sharper as the disc brake pads get used a bit.

5.- I think you havent read the bike manual, kindly do that for your own good. The run-in period is 1000kms. First 500kms at or below 5500rpm and next 500kms at or below 7000rpm. READ THE MANUAL bro

Just finished working on my new LED tail light design, Inspired by 99 R6.

Here is the pic:


Feedback guys

DIY bro ?

Cool:-)
Did you alter the circuitry of the back light or is it the same?(pardon me if I'm wrong as I don't know much about the electricals)

Is the power consumption same or less than the stock bulb?

RIDE SAFE

No circuits were alter

Power consumption is 50-70% less than the stock bulb.

thats very cool...upload some pictures man after you've fitted it. It'll sure look cool

RIDE SAFE

Looks really great!! How is the illumination in the dark & during the day?
Whats the cost of making it like? & lastly, can I get one?

Congrats for the bike.
Answers:
1) As a policy, most SVCs don't allow customers in the service bay. One can stand away & watch work being done. Not sure what valve they checked in that area. From what I know, there is no such valve there.
2) Using engine oil is debatable (you will find couple of threads here discussing the same, so read through those). The Motul chain lube costs INR 480, & Motul chain cleaner INR 450.
3) Front: 70%; Rear: 30%. If you are far below 70% for front, get there gradually.
4) That's normal. Its a sound from the fuel pump, that comes due to varying air pressure in the fuel tank. Open the tank & the sound disappears (only to come again). Its common in FI bikes.
