        my ride has got almost 20,600kms on her odo and she is still running on stock air filter (which i get it cleaned regularly, a mechanic friend told me it wil work fine for few more thousand kms, why change it early? i also dont worry about warranty..) and stock spark plug (working perfectly fine) with no issues at all... she returns more than 40kmpl in bumper to bumper traffic conditions.. i keep her in above 6k rpm most of the time..
        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.

          Do you rip her hard in the traffic and it seems you dont shift all the 6 gears as i had this experience when in 3rd gear i used to rip her till 8000 rpm and got a mileage of 32 only.

            I had been getting 33/35 kmpl ,but after last service it has increased up to 40 kmpl.No change in my riding style tough.
            I had got tappets adjustment done(tappets were loose) and coolant changed in last service ODO reading 19k.Engine oil filter and air filter were also changed.

            • loose cam chain adjuster pulley = engine noise!

              hey guys just wondering if anyone else here has had the same problem???
              a few weeks ago i was on my way home on my bike, and about 6 kms from my house as i slowed down to turn a corner i noticed a kind of noise comeing from my bike. so i pulled over to check if my exhuast was loose as it kinda sounded like that sorta thing, but no, it was fine. i then turned the bike off and then fired it back up again an yep there it was still, a kinda sick scratchy extra engine noise was still there, so i quickly jumped back on an rode it back home carefully. on the way i didnt really notice any major loss of power and the engine check light on the dash didnt come on either. so i got my yamaha dealer to pick it up an find out what was wrong and to fix it. so this wednesday just gone i called them to see if they had figured it out, and the problem was the cam chain adjuster pulley had come loose an it was banging up against the engine case! luckily the mechanic reckons it should be covered under the warrenty. my r15 is only about 7 or 8 months old with 9500 kms on the odo, so i was wondering if anyone here has had the same problem or has heard of the same thing happening to someone else??? plus the clutch cable snapped when it had about 5500 kms on the odo, wich was also replaced under warrenty!!! not sure wether its the way i ride it or if the bike is maybe a lemon??? i do tend to ride hard though.

                Thanks for your advice. I just had the bike push started as I didnt want to put any initial strain on the battery and retain whatever charge was left and she started immediately! I rode to the pump, filled in air after which she purred and was rev happy to be back on the road.

                  i had noticed a sound coming from the bike i guess it was from the mid portion of the bike, i took it to the SVC they told me that my Chain was lose so they tightened it, but still the sound existed, now they are also figuring out what the sound is..
                  will tell them regarding your problem..

                      thanks for replying bro,
                      it was kinda like a loud ticking sound whilst rideing, but when it was just idleing it really did sound horrible.
                      hopefully they find the cause and fix your bike!

                        • Hi,
                          I need a little help from R15 owners here.
                          My bike got a big puncture which cannot be repaired, running with a tube inside the rear tyre right now. I have to replace the rear tyre, but the problem is i am not able to find the orignal R15 tyre as stoke is not there with MRF showroom, here in hyderabad. can any one from hyderabad tell me where i can find the tyre for R15?
                          I saw a R15 with a little wide tyre, it was not of pulsar's or apache's for sure, the rubber seems to be similar to the R15 tyre, it was looking cool.
                          So my next question is:
                          Can i use any other tyre(a bit wide than R15 orignal tyre) instead?
                          dont want to use pulsar's or apache's tyre though.

                            I think you have seen an R15 with Pulsar tyre on it i.e., 100/90x17". It will fit but hamper handling characteristics&mileage marginally.
                            For tyre, go to either Mahaveer Tyres at Punjagutta (mention my name) or Nakoda Wheels at Koti (mention Satish's name), whichever is closer. Don't pay more than 1800 anywhere.
                            Hope I have provided you with the requisite info.
                            Quench my thirst with gasoline!

                              That tyre was not of pulsar, i m sure of that.
                              anyways i m pretty satisfied with R15 orignal, will go for that.

                              thanks

                                Guys,

                                I need transport my R15 from Bangalore to Mumbai. I would love to hit the road and ride to Mumbai but unfortunately that cant happen due to time constraint.

                                I am not too convinced by sending my bike in train as I wont be travelling by train.

                                Please suggest me any good packers and movers who will do it professionally. If anyone here has good experience with packers and movers service, please recommend.

                                I checked with Gati, but they dont provide any packing service.

                                Looking forward to hear from you guys.

                                Cheers,
                                Arnab
