    Thanks in advance.
    I guess it means this....
    when downshifting is done, the rpm increases..but when we downshift the engine speed and the rear wheel speed might not be the same ....and if the wheel speed is more than that of the engine it might lead into some forward jerks..and at very high speeds it may even lead to tragedies..Thus we blip the throttle to match the required rpm on the tachometer, i.e the engine speed with the rear wheel speed...and hence making the downshifting smooth enough...

    Experts can explain it in a much better manner....

    Please forgive me if I'm wrong or have explained in a lame manner...

    @Abhimanyu
    Thanx a lot for your explanation bro...

      planning to buy R15

      Hi all riders,

      I am planning to buy a new bike. I own a RTR180 and I usually travel a lot and travelling from pune to bombay is normal, with an avergae speed of 90+ and it goes roughly with 110 or 115. With this running continuesly the engine gets heated and i can easily feel drop in performance.

      Well here are my concerns

      Top end speed
      Stable engine for Long rides
      Mileage...Do hell with that
      Looks doesnt matter much
      Pickup and Top speed are must


      I have nominated R15 in this top category its a amzing machine
      I am curious to know whether the new YZFR15 is good in terms of power and pickup or anyone who has bought YZFR15 recently in this year and tested for its top speed and 0-60 sprint.
      Suggest me guys as it am very keen to buy the new R15 but would like to hear from someone about its top end speed. Does it really touches 130 with ease

      Sugeest me guys

        You can go for it with eyes closed. There will be no drop in performance&in fact, the bike gives me around 48kmpl if ridden in the range above mentioned by you.
        You can ride it at 120-130+ also if you like-you will not feel any drop in performance or engine heating-liquid cooling takes care of that.
        Since you are not interested in looks, I suggest you go for it immediately, rather than waiting for the rumored new R15, which has a split seat&fatter rear tyre confirmed as of now.

          congrats on your ride.. its great..
          happy and safe riding...
          Hey, i am planning to buy R15 just wanted to know that yours is YZFR15 the new one or the older one also do you faced any issues related to the top end speed or pickup.

            pal, mine is 2010 model... obviously the older one... and the top speed i've touched is 141kmph (speedometer indicated) just after the second service... i have not been able to touch that figure again.. and pick up is also quite sluggish compared to 2008 models.. dont know about other 2010 model owners.. many of them are happy... i've ridden my friend's 2008 model which i feel is better than my bike.. dont know the reason.. my bike does not match its pick up and topspeed.. i've done 149kmph easily on my friend's r15... and yes, many times.. (again speedo indicated)...
            A crash on d road may kill d biker n d bike, but d relationship btwn d bike n d biker never dies.

            Its only next to d relationship btwn d mother n her baby.

              Cramster Colt will be good to go with the upswept exhaust of R15, I have carried around 40kg of weight on top of my saddle bag but havent ridden with pillion. you can easily go for it. its good.

              aha someone getting quite good mileage these days, so you riding her hard or normally brother even mine gave me an average of 42kmpl with last tank full.

                Mine is 2009 model with engine no. starting from 20P1 MADE IN INDONESIA engine. The engine is much smoother than my fren's 2010 model... Also, When I rode his ride on highway, I felt that... the bike was skeptic towards reaching the 3 digit speed at ease. It's not that it could not or would not... but just that.. found it difficult to accelerate...

                  Need Help

                  Friends,

                  I'm facing a peculiar problem with my ride.
                  After first servicing last friday; I haven't ridden it hard (speed was <40kmph) due to traffic in office hours.

                  but since today morning enroute to my office I got chance on free road and was riding at average of 70kmph and faced a peculiar issue.

                  The Bike Handle bars seemed to be vibrating up and down as if, front shockers are engaging and disengaging (I'm sure Front breaks is not causing the issue). and due to this, I've to take large curve for turning.

                  However, when exceeding 75kmph+, the problem vanishes!!!, I've been able to cross that only for a few seconds two or three times but it was noticeable that handling was smooth again.

                    Buddy,
                    By your statement, I understood that you are facing peculiar issue of Handle bars up and down only after 70Kmph. It means, you are not facing it below 70Kmph, Am I right? Have you checked front brakes properly?
                    If so, then there is not any problems of Handlebars! May be you faced road bumps after 70Kmph or some irregularities in the path!

                    And, as I have bolded some phrases in your statement! You said that you just faced this problem today, if so, how many times you had taken large curve for turning? How large is it than normal turning? Usually, turning in this bike is little bit annoying than other bikes(personal experience) but it has excellent handling! If you faced this problem just once, its not the matter to worry! Try again in the road in the same speed and see if the problem remains or not? Keep updating!

                      Get the steering stem bolt tightened. If your bike has done above 12,000 kms, it would be a good time to get it opened, the race and cone set checked, and greased.


                      BTW posting back after a long time. The bike was in much neglect... THough only about 11k kms on the odo in 2.5 years... Some doofus toppled the bike over.

                      Damage to the front visor, right side of the fairing ( front headlight cowling cracked ), the meter beading is damaged as well, and the RVM is broken from the stem.

                      So list of work to be done -

                      - Chain cleaning, lubing
                      - Replacement of all damaged parts
                      - Replacement of engine oil ( FS to FS )


                      Hoping to have her up and running by next weekend... Gotta start blasting down the highway soon.. been ages!!

                            Relax dude...! Take a chill pill.

                            Average life of Clutch plates = Depends on the thrashing it takes depending on the riding style. More or less I've seen R15's clutch plates conked up in as soon as 6k kms till 70k kms & still healthy.

                            Price - not sure mate, somewhere close to 3k i guess if Im right.

                              Buddy,
                              It makes us really sad when we don't get the answer when we are in trouble or want to know something!
                              Alrite, I am sure this sort of delayed has occurred due to some important facts which you are aware like;
                              1) There are some questions that have multiple answers which depends upon our riding!
                              2) The Expert or Mechanic hasn't seen your question yet!
                              3) May be, till now, no-one has replaced their clutch plate!

                              Please note that my uncle having 2008Model Yamaha YZF R15 is riding almost 55K Kms hasn't replaced his clutch plate yet! When I compare riding my brand new bike with his, I don't find anything drastic change expect in appearance! Don't blame me if you are not yet satisfied! BTW, how much your ODO display?
