    I checked the MRF dealers(MRF Tyres - MRF Where to Buy) in Hyderabad one by one. I am surprised every dealer has a different rate. The front wheel retails from 1500 to 2300 and rear wheel retails from 1900 to 3000. I am amused by the fancy prices.
    Is the scenario same in all other cities.

Since my bike was new, i was never bothered about faulty spark plug.
      well, twice till now i have got the spark plug checked, cleaned.. I don't think the spark plug should go kaput within 10k, also considering that there aren't any problems while riding although i have been feeling lack of power..

      and what do you mean- "it used to have the same issues like you mentioned. But it went off by itself after proper tuning." here??
      what kind of tuning do you refer to here??

      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 ?
      I had a similar problem, if the sound is coming from the front, for sure it is the front disc brake. Just wash it thoroughly with pressurized water and see the magic..It worked for me!
      If it still doesn't go, ask the svc to remove the pads and check for wear and tear, if the condition of the pads is fine, ask them to scrub it off a bit with sand-paper and the problem shall be sorted..do keep us updated..
      not a big issue at all..
      after monday and tuesday, even the calendar says WTF!!

        If the bike is new then the chain needs to be lubed more often, every 300-400km, get it lubed. Get the front sprocket cleaned/lubed as well.

        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..
        Its write-locked cant be remapped. You can get a new one by Joel though. Search for 'Joel'

        I guess thats what the problem is then, it happens more in early mornings.

        Yup, point taken

        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..
        By misfiring i mean, no response to throttle for a fraction of a second, in the middle of accelerating.

          tuning as in AFR, i had same misfiring problem. Bike used to misfire while starting. My ride was tuned to a very lean mixture from the company which i realised later, But then it went off by itself after proper tuning. Perhaps your bike is running lean, you should check it once.

            same problem I am facing from the last 2months and it happens only once or twice and very irregularly. never happened when the engine is cold, only when engine was warm/hot(not always, only sometimes). when tried to shut the engine off to see if the prob still persists, it wont happen.
            I didn't knew how to explain to the svc people so didn't went there.
            any ideas??

                how do i check the afr? the svc? getting a PUC check done?? did they use the FID to set the afr in your case?

                same here, the bike wasn't exactly cold.. only difference here that it happened while a svc mechanic was trying to start it..he tried 3-4 times again but it started normally..so he said it was nothing!! which isn't entirely true..

                depends on how thorough the job is..the cleaner lasted me around 8 times and the lube is still left for around 2-3 times more..

                    you have no option but tuners or SVC unless you have devices to configure the ECU. Mine is carbed bike dude. i did it myself. :P

                      Approx. 900 Rs (~400 for Chain Clean and ~450 for Chain Lube).


                      Just wanted to ask R15 owners. Did you guys try any alternative of Motul Chain Clean and Lube. Heard very good reviews of OKS Lube (heard its much better than Motul Lube as it stays longer and at hotter temp and costs more or less the same). Also any first hand review of TVS Chain lube(~300 Rs) would be useful.

                        There is a Yamalube chain spray called offroading type chain lube.
                        It costs around Rs.300&is better than both OKS&Motul.
                        I bought it at Bangalore, but saw it the other day in Secunderabad too.

                                nope, i scratched up the lower panels and the inner fairings. friend of mine who works at the svc (perfect riders) offered to sell me a factory box that contain all the 7 fairing pieces at cost price (to make the bike look brand new) ,which worked out cheaper than buying only the scratched parts at retail price. Therefore i ended up with extra side panels, which the mechanic thought were slightly scratched, but turns out it was just dirt and it dissapeared after i washed them at home.
