    That might probably be the whistling sound coming due to petrol vapours trapped in the fuel tank...before riding your bike just open the fuel lid for a minute and then close it.The sound will vanish.

      • Replaced my Racing ball kit of R15, Headlight entire assembly with the black tinted windshield of V2, The front cowl of headlight assembly that i got dint had the white strip and R15 wrote like other V1 R15 has got, Got it 180 /- rs cheaper than the stickered one though.

        Now she handles better. Any suggestion on how to remove small scratches sorrounding the tank and the dull shade happened in the area around the tank lid.

          You can actually do some stickering job around the tank lid by cutting those carbon fibre look-alike paper foils and pasting it at the outlines of the fuel lid.
          If done properly,believe me it looks pretty cool..

                  My bike has run 14000K and my rear tyre began to leak air from the area around the sidewall, so I decided to change it.

                  I installed Duro tyres rear 120/70-17 and front 110/70-17 on the original rims. The cost set me back a whopping Rs.8500/-. (Metro Tyres at Lamington Road)

                  As I continue to use the original rims, the rear tyre has 'bunched up' and I have ended up with a profile which is higher than the original 100/80 MRF tyre despite the new tyre having a lower profile. The front seems okay. This has slightly raised the height of the bike as well as causing the bike to lean sharper when on the side-stand. There is also a noticeable loss in speed when riding above 100kmph.

                  Any ideas how much a suitable rim for a 120/70 section tyre will cost me and where is this available in Mumbai or Pune? If available, will this rim and 120/80 tyre fit without modification in the swing-arm?

                  All in all, I think this is probably one of the most silliest things I have done and do not recommend this to anyone.

                  I recently did a short 150 Km trip to Pune and the angle of the bike ended up giving me a pain in the neck and back. Not to mention the drop in top speed - couldnt go above 115Kmph.

                  I have now reverted back to the original MRF Nylogrip Zappers R 100/80 and F 8/90 and the bike is immediately back to its old self. The tyre set cost me 3600/- from the MRF showroom incl. fitting.
                  Okay point taken. Even though, i am clueless as to why your tyres bunched up. Actually i had read your post when it was originally posted. But thanx for the response.

                  @saikrishna-My front tyre{80/90/17}is going to cost me 1600 rs. I have confirmed with mrf delhi. If anyone screws with me on that quote, i am going to make that dealer sweat.

                        Bro frankly, i tried all the centers and none did a good service like wakdewadi. In fact majority of pune xbhpians who own the R15 V1/fazer do regularly go there only and service and the guy nitin over there is very helpful and technical sound as per my experience compared to other svc centers.

                        Yamaha riders is ok if you want just normal oil change, rest i would say avoid.

                        By the way you coming for todays G2G at roopali right at 8.30 pm ?

                            If you are adjusted with the sitting position than no worries as i have rode mine for 800 kms per day and it performed excellent without any stress.

                            Servicing cost is 200 for chain spray, yama lube 450/- i guess and other labor and other 300/- Which is required at every 3000 kms.

                            Better buy tvs chain lube as that box costs around 300/- rs and is 450 ml and it goes for 20 times chain spray.

                            Ride safe
