help me out

Guys .. i have r15 version 1 and wanted to convert it into r15 version 2.00... any place there in pune or mumbai where i can convert into r15 version 2.00

Any specific reason for that, and what you want to change. IMO V1 is far better than the V2 (minus the rear end)

guys installling k&n in r15, is it a good idea????

It's not possible to convert a v1 to v2. The sub-frame of the v2 is different. Apart from that you need to change the entire front body kit, fairing, swig-arm, assembly and lots more. These changes will easily cost 50k. So, if you really want a split-seated R15(i.e v2),sell the v1 and go for the v2. But i personally didnt find the v2 worth selling a v1 for it.

Joel calls it " funny sounding air-filter". He would recommend Simota over k&n.

actually the looks of version 2.00 i found better than version 1.. the rear portion has been changed so i was thinking of doin that... i am actually confused whether to sell the version 1 and buy a version 2.00

R15's Coolant temperature sensor failed for 4th time

I have 2009 (20P) R15, with 21.5K Kms on Odo. For last 1 year, the Coolant temperature sensor has gone kaput on 4 occasions. It first started after a Free Servicing (Yamaha free servicing camp). Later it showed in normal city riding. Third time it happened just after 600 kms from last occasion. On all these three occasions the Coolant temperature sensor was changed after diagnosing Thermosensor failure.
After the third occasion, I got radiator setup, fan and relays checked. Infact, replaced the fan and relays. I have always ensured that the coolant level is upto the mark and I use Motocool coolant and Motul FS 15W50 engine oil (top up whenever required till 2.5k-3K kms). After 3rd occasion, I got my bike Joeled(big bore + Camshaft + FFE + Simota air filter+ head work+ Clutch springs and valve springs) and changed the CO2 level to 5. Since than the setup ran fine. After 4 months (run-in, extended run-in and normal run for around 3.5 kms post modifications) I tested my bike for 2 hours non stop ride and the engine warning light never popped up.
However, on last Thursday the warning light popped again, after 2.5 hours of run, with one break in between. Checked with FID for the error code and it (error code 21) pointed to coolant temperature sensor.
I want to put an end to the root cause. Need pointers to get this problem rectified. I am assuming wiring harness could be a possible culprit, which can cause short circuit. Apart from that I can't think of anything else.
Experts please help.

PS: I have no electrical modifications on my bike. I am not running HIDs or anything that can drain the battery and cause the engine warning light to pop. On every occasion I checked with FID and found that Coolant temperature sensor was malfunctioning and got it replaced

hey guys i'm new to this... i think water is leaking in my r15's digital console. after every wash there is water vapour on the display for a few days. it's run only 1200 kms. and i also wanted to noe how we can fit a k'n'n on r15. do we have ta take out the filter box ???? nd do we have to rejet it nd how much change will there be in performance ????

Are you sure this time the warning lights showup to indicate Engine Over Heat?

There are various reasons for the lights to come on and an error code will be saved to the ECU every time.

My R15 is also modified with Joel's 165+ CC bore and an R-type piston.

I too suffered the same issue thrice (Red Led on Speedo will popup often)

Got to know this through the FI diagnostic tool at a local svc center.

1st time, From the crank position sensor, the bore got seized due to over comp, got the setup fixed with new bore, conrod, head porting etc etc

2nd time the setup was fine but the light came often, checked in FI diag tool and it was due to over heat, I did not want to modify the setup again so switched to an industrial grade coolant and since then it was fine.

The last time the Red led came due to Intake Air pressure sensor and did some minor modds to the Air filter and completely removed Catcon from Stock exhaust, now the bike is breathing well and no warning lights seen.

So if you are very much sure it is a heat related notification, I would blame the entire Radiator unit. Coz the coolant should flow through properly within the setup, fan will only help the engine to cool down externally.

Note: If you switch over to Joel's ECU may be the lights will not be shown, coz in my case the LEDs will not show in Joel's ECU. Not sure if the malfuction leds are configured as like stock ECU or it eventually fixes the issue

Sorry, did not see that you have diagnosed using FID.

Got my red rachel ..... Finally

MY dear friends

THE ONE LONG YEAR WAIT FOR MY BEAST GOT OVER FINALLY
ITS ONE OF MY GREATEST ACQUISITIONS TILL DATE

Got my RED Rachel last evening ( R/W )
felt like im on top of the world
when i first ignited her and took her from the Dealership
But bfore that............. i observed a small scratch on the front visor
and questioned the dealer , he was like telling all possible reasons
JAIN YAMAHA : T NAGAR , CHENNAI , TAMILNADU
i had it written on my delivery note and he promised me to change it in my next visit

now coming to the first ride from there to my house ( 18 kms approx )
the feel was awesome
i kept her under 4k and drove back home
exactly 9 bikerS and a person from a car onthe way asked me the details and complimented the looks of our beast

The initial pick up was amazing and its a riders paradise
now coming to my observations ,, & questions

The gear shifting was very hard to change and i struggled a bit
i was quite confused that i shud whether use till the 6th one
as i was cuudling her in full city traffic ( 20 ~ 40 kms ) only
i felt like some grunt all over my ride is that okay ????

PLS CLARIFY FRIENDS LOOKING FORWARD FOR UR COMMENTS

so far ive done 35 kms
soon will post the pics of my RED RACHEL

The hard gear shifting will be resolved in first service, go till 6th gear though it may feel sluggish but go for it.

I didn't say Engine Overheat. I mentioned Engine Warning/malfunction Light(Orange one not the Red one) with error code 21. And yes every time with FID tool , it was confirmed that Coolant Temperature sensor was malfunctioning. I am worried about the root cause that causes Coolant Temperature sensor to go kaput. Normally, Fan, relays, lesser coolant or some short circuit/wire harness cause such problems. I replaced/rectified all other parts except wiring harness. I ll ve to replace that I guess

Dude even i'm fronm Chennai!!!! I got my Black blaze from Jain!!! they are jus worst in city!!! really fed up of them! and comin to ya question jus do another 100 kms!!! you will find ya gears will shift like butter trust me!!!! Jus enjoy her the most way you can!!! All the best!!! Happy travel!!!!

kteam7888 bro thanks for the info ,,, one of my friend told me that Jain service centre mechanics are somewhat knowledgeable and they give good service for this only reason i chose them ,, all the way from my place ( keelkattalai near madippakkam ) to T nagar

Thanks bro

Thanks bro !!! now relieved
