But make sure you keep an eye .You can do but it wont last long, and will accumulate dirt soon. And why use fresh engine oil ? Use the one that is changed. But as the chain is without a cover it will be a pain to clean and lube with motor oil maybe every week maybe more.

I am getting around 35 till date, but i have started ripping badly, i am always in 8-9k+ rpm range

New Here!!

Hi all,
I have been following xbhp for nearly 3 years now but this is my first post.
I am getting the delivery of my first bike-the YZF R15 within a week and I am terribly excited

I wanted to know whether theres anything important I need to check during delivery.
Also is any accessory immediately required?? especially with regard to the center stand. Is it required??...
I am new to biking and hope you all understand my questions.
Thanks in advance.

The bike will be ready to run.
With hardly any fuel in the tank.
So unless there are fuel pumping stations close by be sure to carry some fuel with you.

The side stand is an option which you can think about later.
Sure it is safer to park the bike on its main stand but adding this will spoil the fun that you will have cornering.
I suggest you keep the bike stock for a while.
Enjoy the riding.
If you feel it required, you can get a stand anytime.
Congrats on your purchase.

The illumination is great at night as well as day as I've used super bright LED's for this one.

I don't think there is such stupid kind of a rule, even I do the same.They are doing this just for those 150bucks which you pay for getting your chain cleaned and lubed. You should go to the other svc which doesn't come up with such stupid ideas of making money.

AFAIK it should not happen, i have spilled the petrol myself on the fuel cap many times, no fading.

Nope living with this problem for now.

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?

Pavan

I went to Orion /motors and as expected, they said it was the tuning problem. They did something, but the problem was never solved. Have been busy with personal work, In a week or two I might visit Joel to get FF and BB kit. May be I will talk to him to see if he can guide me on this.
I will definitely keep you posted if the problem happens to be solved.

When R15 rides with a professional rider in MMSC.

Got the center stand fitted finally. It doesn't hit the road while leaning as seen on puksar's center stands and the bike is extremely easy to put on the center stand, earlier I was unable to put the bike on the rx stand by myself but I can put her on this one without even trying hard.

Alll in all, a worthy purchase, would suggest it for all the r15 tourers as lubing the chain on tours becomes an issues without a permanent center stand.

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

Thanks Shivanshu for the tips. I am trying your trick of sitting posture and glad that it works.
Regarding the sound I can't describe it completely but, we usually hear such sound in 100CC bikes specially when you are riding at higher speed and suddenly you down-shift.
Front disk are improving considerably now. Really tough to control yourself in running in period ....

Regards

**tony92** · 05-30-2011, 02:27 PM

Thats good brother I am happy that things are working for you. About the sound I am still insure which sound you talking about. But be sure to do your run-in properly and honestly and this bike can last very long but only if taken care of it. I hope you read the manual. Ride Safe
