if you wish to you can use full synthetic oil .. i would say to stick with Semi synthetic for some more time and than go with Full synthetic ..

I have started using motul 5100 4t 15w50 SS oil .. and my bike has become smooth .. so you could go with the same and it would cost you around 500Rs. (new stock price)

if you want to go with full synthetic .. got with Motul 300V 4T Factory Line 15W50 which would cost you around 900 Rs.

About the other brands i am not sure..

I found out that that Motul is the OEM for Yamalube. That is motul lubricants are repackaged as yamalube. So if thats the case yamalube 4t 15w50 semi-synthetic costs Rs.470 only.

some members have had this kind of a problem before, the reason turned out to be a faulty spark plug cover (black colour rubber thing)...just search this forum, you may find it..
if you hear the fuel pump during the self-check, its working fine..
there is no problem in the fuel pump of the v1.. people are idiots and run the bike till its dry and then refuel..that spoils the pump..avoid it..

Partially correct. It is true that Motul is OEM (blender) for Yamalube (about 7 - 8 years back it was Exxon), however, it is not true that Motul is repackaging its lubricants as Yamalube. Yamalube is blended as per Yamaha's specifications and the performance of the said oil to JASO and API standards is being guaranteed by Yamaha and not Motul. Just because the oil blending is being outsourced does not necessarily mean that its a repackaged product.

Thank you guys.... de prob is solved... & the culprit is spark plug adapter.. Service guy replaced it for free.

I heard sometimes the clip inside the spark plug cap can get damaged. Which in turn will prevent the cap from securely fitting on the spark plug terminal.

hai friends i have one yamaha r15.am done with 18000 kms.last day i did ecu remapping by an yamaha service engineer.he told that ecu remapping dont have any after effects.bit i am little bit tensed..do it affect my engine after some time..please need your valuable suggestions and comments...thanks

^^^ I think you have been taken for a ride. The ECU cannot be remapped. Period!!! No 'ifs', no 'buts', no 'then', no 'or', period; it cannot be done. At the most he must have selected a different AFR setting.

If there is any problem with the setting, go back to the original setting.

You will be wasting money!

When Yamaha and other reputed companies give figures and advices, you should remember they give it you based on their R&D; not some info that they had a dream about, that can get them sued if overly exaggerated. You can accept them with a pinch of salt, not a packet of salt. They say 3 months or 3k kms, whichever comes first; 3k kms is quite acceptable as the engine worked to cover that distance; but 3 months is vague if the bike wasnt used much. besides there are many parameters, and you can get an idea of them if you take the trouble of reading through the various discussions on engine oil here, or the engine oil bible.

Additionally, when you are in the free service periods, it maybe smart to use the cheaper mineral oil yamalube 20w40. Thats what i did, because after the 2nd or 3rd service, i was not even getting close to clocking 3k kms in b/w services. I was always clocking around 1.2-2k kms when the prescribed date comes compelling me to service.

Furthermore, after the first 2 paid services, i decided that i would be better of not going to the service center to have it done. Thats when i transitioned to the more expensive synthetic oil yamalube 15W50, as i was not compelled to service on a prescribed schedule. FYI: I had bought the bike from Naman Auto, Panvel, as that was only centre for yamaha in the whole navi mumbai then. Naman Auto Panvel has the world's shittiest ambiance {e.g-adjacent shop is a dance bar}, with the most uneducated , uncultured, and rude employees/ mechanics, who cant focus on their tasks with out going around eachother shouting the most abusive gaallis and 3rd class repulsive humor wasting 40% of the day. I guess the owners preffered such employees, as they could get away by paying low salaries; leading to unhappy employees and further deterioration in customer service. Anyways I had spotted two mechanics {swapnil and suresh} who were none of the above, but were decent and focussed on their tasks, so for every service I was hell bent for either of them to do it and no one else. I noted that for all their dedication they ended up being sacked, like a few others before and after them; because they refused to tamper with "unsuspecting" customers' bikes and increase billing.
