      Sorry for confusion... A General OT: I "think" Joel can make more mods later & maybe we'll have a higher speedo rating ... Just my personal thought!
      Joel with his knowledge and capability can make the R15 get to even 200kmph. But that's not the point, is it? We are talking about what the R15 can do as a bone-stock machine.

        • Are we arguing over the fact that a stock Yamaha R15 (149.8 CC - 1 cylinder) achieves 147 Kmph on the speedo?

          Really funny.

          People should ride other vehicles (ex. any 4 wheeler in the 1600 cc segment.Even Santros become breathless at 145 Kmph), or better bikes to know how that kinda speed feels atleast.

            OT reply: Yes Sir, very much. I used it a lot. In fact the whole Chennai gang used it to its fullest potential!

                How many kms have u done? Even I have the same issue. Could be due to oil losing its viscosity, need to reset tappets etc.

                  Duh! an 160CC RTR goes 0-60 in how many seconds as compared to the so called 1600 cars? Are the cars faster?
                  There are a lot of factors that goes into deciding the speed....

                  • I got my exhaust cover changed today. It was damaged two months ago in a crash. I am still waiting for a Headlight Cowl and Side Fairing.

                    @Ketan The MOTUL Chain Lube and Chain Clean is available at DSG Pune.

                    PS- Has the YAMALUBE Chain Spray arrived in showrooms? It not yet available here.

                          I'm abt to touch 7K. Did a servicing at 6K, so oil loosing viscosity is out. I went for resetting the tappet dis week end, but dey said dey need 1 day for it, so tld to bring it later.. I'm jus wondering wat dey did for my 6K service!!!

                          • @Apar:

                            Man, don't underestimate this machine. 130kmph isn't impossible..I touched 132kmph or so on this bike on the 5th gear(almost out completely) and was about to hit shift to 6th when I ran out of road. This happened when the bike was rather new..(after the first service ofcourse). But now, my bike's in a pathetic condition.. lots of vibrations and the engine is a screamer now.

                            I weigh 53Kgs btw :P

                                There are a lot of factors that goes into deciding the speed....
                                My Opel Astra '98 1.6 GL goes 0 to 60 in 4 secs if started with a "bit" of revving and without fuming the rear wheels. My Shogun goes 0 to 60 in about 8 secs. And I can drive my Opel @ 145 constantly for Kms steadily (it has got a real overdrive anyways). How about the RTR?

                                PS: I am not comparing a Opel with an Apache, but since you asked for it, so thats ^ the fact.
