thnxx a lot for your suggestions buddy

Thanks Buddy, no the light isnt coming, and saw the coolant level its max, i think its ok then..
thanks a lot ..


thanks man..
ok so that overheating is common..
yaa will keep that in mind and had first only decided that wont be giving my bike to anyone until 2.5-3k atleast..

what is the average life of R15's battery till its in best condition and first given you problem? i want to keep my battery in optimum condition because of no kick and i don't want to ever push start my baby R15. and which is the best battery for R15? i heard tata green is best mine is minda. any other options and what is the rating of R15's battery[power rating in AH?]. i heard 2008 lot have low rating then present one.

Other than giving it a good wipe with a rubbing compound nothing much can be done about it. Thats why its said to use a soft cloth on your tank and then put the tank bag.

Something wrong I have touched 138kmph with pillion. Whatsoever even if the pillion is on heavy side 120 mark should be easily available. Did you check tyre pressure, chain slack?

What do you need the broader tyres for, look R15 has the best stock tyre on any Indian bike. Dont hamper with it.
Yes Angel Eyes and Projector does impact on Batteries, if not done properly be ready to be stranded anywhere, as electrical is one of the core of this bike

First of all Congrats for the new bike, do the run-in properly and read the manual. Yes initially the bike heats up, but do check coolant level.

Good that you and your bike got saved, I never faced any problem with R15 stock bulbs, though they are not as bright as they could have been but yes its very much as per standard.

Average life of a battery is anywhere in between 1.5yrs to 3yrs. To keep it in optimum condition at every 3rd service tell the mechanic to check the voltage of the battery, if low then get it charged. I also have Minda battery on my bike. I have done 23K kms already with few tours in absolutely crazy weather, either heavy rains for 2 to 3 days or freezing temperature, but never had any problem. Just dont play with electrical of the bike and I am sure you will have a hassle free battery tenure

congrats brother..............the passion will miss you!!!

and next ride i am taking your bike for spin.....no matter how many kms done....

Almost 3 year old battery, never recharged, bike left without starting for more than a month 2-3 times, but always started on first press, touchwood!

Guys,could you help me out with some projectors and HIDs for my R15!Need the ones shown in the picture below!And also lemme know the price!Thanks!

I called up Bangalore Wheelers to clear it of, They said, they have no idea about it. No information from Yamaha.

Couldn't resist myself , I called up yamaha Toll Free number : 1800-420-1600
The person said, its pure fake rumour sir. Nothing like that machine is getting launched soon.

!

Folk xBhpians,
The black paint coated in rim of the rear wheel has been gone. I mean paint has leaved the metal to its original color. It's around 6cm long and 2cm wide.
Does warrenty covers or what the heck happened? Anybody faced the similar problem? I am at 1.5K by Odo.

I had same issues, but with front rim and RVMs .They were replaced under warranty with 12k on odo.
Go to SVC and claim warranty.if they deny write an email to yamaha.

why not sure buddy..
Par RPM Bellow 5K..

Used R15, 2008, 15000kms, how much should i pay?

Recently I have seen a R15, 2008 model, 15000 kms run, stock bike. The seller is quoting 68k.

The bike looked good to the naked eye. took a test drive. The front seemed a bit wobbling when taking turn. the seller said its because low air pressure in Tyre. also had some scratches on left panel. Rear Tyre is almost bald.

How much should i negotiate?


will price come down of used bikes once the new 2011 model is launched? Should i wait?

PS. Is yamaha still offering "The Burning Kit"?

guys.. if you want to buy a R15.. i recommend to wait for some more time..u will be much happier after getting ur hands on the new piece... yamaha is just waiting to sold off the existing stock!!

The screws holding the ignition switch were getting loose. Had a look at them, and they are something really different. I think they are there to act as theft deterrent.



Seen them before? Since I did not have anything to tighten them with, I replaced them with regular Allen bolts!

BTW, anyone knows what they are called?

Folks had this unusual experience today, did ~150kms in the rain and a bit of off-roading, while returning back, the bike suddenly died on me, it did start within few seconds when i hit the self, after that the bike felt jerky for 30-40mtrs and then became normal, what could have been the problem ?
