if you bike misfires a lot get you ecu tuned and get your co level checked ( i mean not yours your bike

) air filter clean and also check whether petrol is contaminated i mean water may have got mixed with the petrol

hey how's your bike doing now? Hope all misfirings are gone? And remember that sound we were getting when we were hitting the throttle after every gear change? And share your twin low beam experience also man.

come on dude, let us know how you're doing all these wonderful things with your new bike.

it can help many right?

R15 tyre prices and availability in Hyderabad

What is the current price of R15 front and rear tyres. Where can I get them in Hyderabad apart from SVC. Pearl Yamaha Kondapur quotes Rs 2600 for rear tyre and Rs 2300 for front tyre.
While buying do I need to take care of certain stuffs(manufacturing date etc). Any help is welcome.

Thanks will get this checked. But it has been always been misfiring a little, of late it increased a little, but earlier i didnt mind it.

by misfiring do you mean misfiring while riding/ idling/ while starting???

it has happened twice till now (9.3k on the odo) that while starting the bike, i pressed the starter, the bike didn't start but misfired...

i mean i heard that "phukktt" sound..(similar to the sound which bullets produce- by blipping the throttle and switching off and on the kill switch)
this happened the second time at the svc, the mech too was surprised as shit!

later on he was giving some reason like - "compression cycle poora nahi hua hoga to isliye back-fire kiya".. not pretty sure about that though..

the second issue is that, twice it so happened that just after getting the bike washed(both times) and the chain lubed, when the mech tried to start the bike, it was cranking but there was no ignition (cranked for 3-4 secs)..

then, when he tried the second time, it started with no issues??!!?? he tried switching the bike on and off 3-4 times, but it started normally!! Although i never rev the engine while starting, those guys at the svc have a habit of doing so..could this be a reason?? also noting that all other r15s they handle start without a hitch in similar conditions??

do you think the above two issues are related??

need help, worried..

why don't you try changing the spark plug? i feel that's the main culprit. But then again, get it confirmed first.

in the beginning, i mean when my bike was about 1500kms old, it used to have the same issues like you mentioned. But it went off by itself after proper tuning. Since my bike was new, i was never bothered about faulty spark plug.

You can descend with the former part(the part before 'W') but never ascend and the later part(the part after 'W') should always be maintained. Hope that helps.

whoa! i feel the black, the white and the deep cherry R15 are the best looking R15s, why do you wanna repaint it man? :O moreover after re-painting, you'll have to inform the RTO and the Insurance company of that else the Insurance stands invalid dude...

ok i have a pic of a white painted R15, will upload here. See if you like it.

and 1 question, can the chain adjuster (the color palette kinda thingy at the ending tip of the swingarm

) be fitted on a 220 swing arm as well? can anybody please check if R15 swingarm is any different from P220? I mean just the end part. Thanks.

Raneet,

The white looks awesome. Am not going to paint it full.. thought of having the side panel to white and below guard with red and YAMAHA writing with white, and the engine silver coat to black.

ashaq54,

thanks for the post. I would like if the wheels were also to black

**nidhinsr19** · 07-12-2011, 09:00 PM

Guys,

My bike R15 give some irritating sound from front wheel.. "KVIKVIKVIKVIKVI" :@. This is sound.

What would be the problem ?

I checked with the showroom guys they told some greezing problem. They checked and returned but the next day the same again. This comes very rarely in short trips. If i ride long then i hear this sound, feeling not to ride the bike.

Did anyone of you guys faced this issue ?

**Pranit_Crystal Myth** · 07-12-2011, 09:52 PM

Does anybody know about Remapping the ECU,
i had somewhere heard that R15's stock ECU can be little bit Remapped,
i dont know if its true..??
anyone any Idea on this..

The other day I saw an R1 at the SVC&the paint shade has matched perfectly.
I was also thinking of getting this done to my same colored bike, but didn't wanna make it too jhintak goldy type-hope you understand what I mean!
I have a few questions:
1. Is this normal paint or powder coat?
2. What was the approximate cost&effort involved?
3. Is the paint holding up?
Thanks in advance.

thanks bro' for liking the paint-job...
it's regular paint sprayed on the rims...did cost me around BDT 3K bucks in total for the rims, my headlight dome and the side panels... that will be Rs 2K...and, so far the paint has been holding up pretty good..no issues so far...
:-)

Remapping can't be done in stock ECU as it is not reprogrammable.
If you refer remapping to AFR ratio change (changing CO) by FID tool, than yes it can be done.
