      Ideally you would need to fit the new swing arm, chain and sprocket set (or at least the chain, as it would be longer), the tyre will fit the old rim, but may foul the swing arm, fitting the new swing arm will prevent any issues any shouldn't affect the handling.

          An oil seal or something worth Rs 80 was replaced yesterday. I didnt find any oil leak this morning, so hopefully its fixed.

          But gotta thank you, coz the mechanic found the oil level to be wayy low..So thanks man!

                well dunno what exactly it is - the bill says 'Plug Drain' (part no. 38BE53510000) - 80 bucks

                In its absence the bike probably leaked half of its engine oil in a month

                  Got my Bike

                  Thanks sharingan!

                  Ok so got my hot bike (blue color) today.. Checked all parts, brakes, electrical parts, scratches everything was OK!
                  Odometer was showing 2km and trip meter was showing 1.2km..
                  after lot of no-no dealer provided me Teflon coating for free..

                  Hmm very pleasing to drive.. Drove for 60 km on a single day.. Man its so nice to drive and the attention you get is too good..

                  so some points regarding bike..
                  • Its more drivable than the previous one in standing traffic and in city commute.
                  • Built quality is as you would expect from Yamaha. A++
                  • Looks are killing.. seriously means I was staring it for almost an hour..
                  • Hmm didn't took above 40km@4000 rpm so can't judge power delivery.
                  • Horn is very loud and gets respect.
                  • Rear seat is like you are sitting in sky high since we don't have such experience before but its good just missing grab-rails to hold while brake or jerk.. (although good if you take your girl out)
                  • Space inside pillion-seat is enough to store bike papers, dust cloth, tool-box and First-aid kit.
                  • Rear Tyre helps you to maintain control and drive smoothly through small potholes, gravels and off-road area.
                  • I didn't find any improvement in the headlights though..!
                  • Brakes are too good.. Better than before.. It really works like ABS if you know how to use front and rear brake simultaneously in right ratio.
                  • Seating position is almost the same but due to new weight distribution and forward-biased design it do feels different and more sportier.

                  This is what I do experienced on today's ride.
                  I'll share more and will upload pics on Sunday after a clean wash..

                  Something I want to ask to experts and previous owners..
                  • When I change gears they are a little stiff in nature and then when I accelerate I feel vibes for fraction of seconds (I feel the pistons moving inside engine). After that it vanishes again until I change gear again. What is going on?
                  • Every time I switch on ignition a humming type vibration and sound comes somewhere near fuel tank? Is it radiator fan? and why it happens?
                  • How to check oil and coolant levels? I read somewhere to change oil after 1st day driving.. Should I change it?
                  • How to reset trip meter to zero?


                  Thanks in advance..

                      Hey everyone, I am observing some slight pains in my left side of lower back when i ride my R15. Checked everything but all seems fine. I had changed my handle grip with a bit fat grip cover some days back. Can it be because of that??

                      Please put light on same as i am riding the bike for close to 1 year now and done 12000 kms +

                        The pain is due to your wrong posture at work. Correct that 1st. I have also gone through this&was doubting the bike.
                        Fat grips will help in reducing stress on wrists in heavy traffic though mine aches more due to over use of the mouse at work!
                        All in all, time spent in office compared to time spent riding the bike is much more, so the culprit is elsewhere.
                        Trust me on this, I have already gone through these. I now have pain in my wrist&pointing finger though I'm not riding my R15 since 2-3 weeks!
                        Quench my thirst with gasoline!

                          hey guys today i observed that the inner part of the exhaust has a rust on it... have any of you faced it earlier. Please let me know if anybody has faced this issue or is it because of some peculiar reason.

                            1) Give it a little time, engine is new
                            2) Fuel injection system and self check mode (That's the noise)
                            3) To check oil level, open the nob at the bottom end of the right hand side of engine. And the coolant level can be seen from the left hand side beneath the seat ... (Other, Please help me put in better words)
                            4) Press the button once, when you see trip 1, press again but don't release, after 4-5 seconds it will reset.
                            5) Enjoy...

                              Its not just the inner part-check the upper part of the pipe which goes near the engine. You may find it totally white/brown in color. If brown, it has already started rusting.
                              Yamaha should have given a powder coat to this part-its very much needed in fact.
                              I have seen rust on a 1 year old R15 too in the same places.
                              This prob. has been managed well in the new R15 V2 which has a generous dose of powder coat where it is needed.
                              I have given my 3+ year old R15's silencer for powder coating for this very reason-1st time the coating did not come fine, hoping it is better 2nd time.
                              Best option for all R15 V1 owners to avoid rust on this particular part is to get the silencer pipe powder coated-it can be dismantled easily like any othet bike's silencer.

                                quite well said. The coolant tank is on the left side, attached to the inner side of the chassis, just above the drive sprocket case.
