    If so, then Its definitely the Chain getting overtightened...
    You are correct Raman, in that case I need you to test ride the bike and let me know what you think . Lets go to Raj Yamaha after that and get this issue sorted and drink some cool drinks

        I got something similar done too. Our designs look very similar!

        Have only one pic at the moment.

        IMO, those amber indicators look a bit cheap.
        Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

          The design i have is one line for the normal . and 2 lines for the break lights.

          The tail light is 4w where as the indicators are 1.8w.

          I dint get the clear glass indicators they were out of stock so i got the amber ones. My front indicators are clear glass :P an they look killer . will post some pics tomorrow .

          I have been testing these indicators and led tail light since 2 weeks now. and all changes are done. These should be mass produced a a week or too. It will hit the road by this month end

                    Got it done from my friend's shop called final drive in anna nagar . Its on stock battery , Its just been few days since i have installed so cant really comment on long term battery issue's tho' i don't suffer any battery issue even under high beam for long hours .

                    But got strange issue ! while i was ripping her while on highbeam , my RPM meter went crazy by showing totally wrong info but after i restarted it was all fine . Will check on it

                      • Incident @ Perfect Riders, Bangalore

                        Hi All

                        I have been an observer of X-bhp, and in the past couple of months having been researching a lot.

                        Thank you all for the input given in the thread, it surely helped me a lot in buying my new R-15

                        I bought it on 17 June 2011, I did 1000 kms on 15 July '11, but couldn't give my baby for the first service the next day, as I was late to the SVC (Perfect Riders), the same place I bought it.

                        Finally took a day off on 20 July '11, and gave it for servicing. The SVC guy said my bike would be ready by 6:30 PM, and I went by 5:30 PM.

                        The bike was ready by then, so soon enough after paying the bill. The first thing I noticed was a big scratch on the Tank. I enquired on it, and the big fella, went in and got some rubbing liquid and wiped it off, the scratch is nearly invisible now, but I can still notice it.

                        Next, the bike was not throughly washed, I think it was a lot cleaner before I gave it for servicing.

                        Yes, I put the semi syn, as JD666 suggested in one of the threads (Thank you for that), and got the wiring done for dual lamps Rs.350, got the focus corrected, got the vibrations on the left mirror corrected and headed home with enthusiam, given that I had been doing under 5K.

                        No sooner I crossed the showroom on Lalbagh road, the car ahead of me braked immediately and so did I, but the Pulsar behind me failed, and hit my bike. The saree guard broke, and the panel above the Tail lamps, came off (a lil), so to fix it I pushed the bike back to the SVC (as it is a one-way), put a new saree guard (200 bucks).

                        Nearing my home in BTM, I started to hear a strange noise in the front section of the wheel. Its like "Zuk-Zuk", its driving me crazy, it only comes if I take my baby over 30 Kms. Frustrated, I did a couple of rounds to check the problem, but couldn't find any solution.

                        I left to meet my regular mechanic, whom I know since the last 6 years and been very good with his work. He is the kind of guy, if your bike breaks down some where, he will come all the way, gives his vehicle, and take yours, fixes it and brings it back home the next day.

                        Anyway, when I met him and told the problem, he rode my bike for a couple of spins and told me, there is Mud accumulated in the braking device (pads), hence the sound. Has this happened to any of you before ?

                        I'm taking it to Orion, to have it fixed on Saturday, and taking him along as well, just to be on a safer side and not to get ripped off for something minor. I will let you know soon on it.

                          Just take the bike to washing center and do a pressure wash on your discs.

                            Thats nothing to worry about mate....There's definitely some dirt accumulated in the front disc pad...It happens with all of us

                            A good pressurized water stream in the disc spacing will take care of it...

                            • problems that i face due to free flows

                              guys i would like to share some problems that i daily face due to the ffe that i have fitted on my R15-

                              1.as soon as i zoom past some cars their alarms start beeping and their owners think that ive pelted their cars with stones while passing by they hurl stupid abuses.

                              2.'THE DOGS' STUPID beasts when i enter their territory they run after me to take a bite or two.2 days back a dog nearly caught my arm.well i have only one thing to say to the dogs better luck next time.

                              3.the old people start cursing even if im cruising at 20-40 Km/hr. no matter how slow i drive past them they always curse.

                              4.those 'bullet' metal heads think that im mocking their stupid bulky iron cycles they chase me and then i make em bite dust but yes its tiring.

                              CONCLUSION-no matter what the world says just make sure you badly shake the fluids in the ear and the ear drums of those that curse you.

                              • Can someone come up with a DIY to lubricate the cone set and how to take off the swingarm to replace the chain? I also need to take off the clutch and brake levers as I'm getting them cut to make them shorty levers, plus the clutch lever pivot bolt needs lubing as my clutch is kinda hard(yes I've lubricated both the ends of the clutch cable)

                                I have access to the tools that'd be needed for the jobs courtesy a mechanic friend of mine and would love if I could do it by myself.

                                PS: How would I know if my cone set needs lubricating? I had it lubed at around 8k kms, and right now I'm sitting at 13k kms.
                                A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.
