          Is Yamaha replacing the rusted tanks or not?
          If Yamaha replaces it then they will have to replace 99% of the sold bikes in the country..

          My bike has been rusted everywhere. Tank Lid, Silencer, Front Numberplate bolts

              • My bike has rusted at places other than the common places u people are mentioning - tank, silencer, number plates etc. I opened up the bike's front-end to change the headlamps and there was rusting all over the metal joints that holds the front fairing in place. I checked all the places that u guys are seeing rusts and by God's grace do not see any till now(keeps all his fingers crossed). There is no rust in the underbody too! This inspite of riding in the horrendous rains that recently lashed Chennai and riding in knee-high waters!

                  This is just the beginning man .. unless we get more names on the spreadsheet nothing will be done. I don;t have rust on my tank anywhere so couldn't show them that. The pics should have gone to the yamaha guys today so let's see what action is initiated.

                  Use the spreadsheet and if yamaha calls anyone to the SS for inspection, make sure most of the ppl with probs accompanies that guy. I will mention it to the yammie guys when they call next. Unless we make a big deal, we have to see our investment rust away.

                    Guys go for any cover which is meant for Bullets, specially TB..
                    Cause in regular garage covers most of the times the rear portion remains exposed as u slide the mirrors in those sleeves. Where as TB cover is ideal cause of the long mirrors of bullet. I got it for Rs.300 here in Mumbai. It's material is also quite good.

                    • All this means Yamaha is using very low quality parts, which is never acceptable for such a costly bike !!! Guys take it very seriously and complain Yamaha India, they should must replace those rusted parts.
                      This is also happend with my Comet, but Kinetic do replaced all the parts including the Tank (2 times).

                          • Hi Guys,
                            Wanted to know your take on the NGK Iridium IX Spark Plug for the R15. Does it really boost your bike's performance and if the answer's yes then is the performance good enough to match its price of Rs 550/-?

                              Me too-I tried the XXL sizes available too(they said it would fit the Bullet), but they end up only covering the back part till the beginning of the wheel. I enquired with a local Rexine shop guy@Ameerpet&he says he can stitch a custom made cover for me, but it would cost Rs.500 for ordinary variety&600 for special. Felt it was more than double the cost of ordinary covers, so kept the decision pending!
