Check the info mentioned below.
Learning Coolant Fundamentals
"Lots of misinformation about the compatibility of the different types of coolant technologies exists in literature and the marketplace. While it is not good maintenance practice to mix two different coolants, it will not result in compatibility issues as long as coolants from high-quality, reputable suppliers are used. Coolants are generally considered to be compatible, however, mixing coolants of two different qualities results in a mixture of intermediate quality. While not a disaster, mixing a great coolant with a mediocre coolant will result in a coolant with something of less than great performance. "

i do not plan to mix them, i plan on replacing the coolant entirely.

Also can u plzz tel me the tire pressure to be maintained??

Yet the answer to your queries is still lies in the link provided by Juris. Do go through it as it is quite informative.

Read the entire article and decided to use motul coolant instead of the one i mentioned before.

Can now someone plzz tell me the tire pressure to be maintained on stock tires???!!!

^^^ Front - 28 PSI & Rear - 33 PSI (Cold Tyres)

What if it has run 10kms..??

**abhimanyu31** · 03-12-2012, 05:55 PM

^^^ All tyre manufactures recommend that tyre pressure be checked while the tyre is cold, meaning before the tyre heats up. The reason is simple, there are too many variables with a heated tyre, for example you are asking for tyre pressure after running 10 kms, someone may have run for 50 kms. In both cases the tyre pressure will vary vastly depending upon the running conditions, ambient conditions and the load on the tyre.

Therefore, it is best to check tyre pressure when the tyre is cold. However, if you want to check on hot tyre, add 2 to 3 psi. Under no circumstances should you try to remove air from a hot tyre, even if it is showing more that the recommended level.

Not all can fill air in a cold tyre as many including me needs to run some kms to reach air filling station. So we should put a 2 to 3psi more in a little run tyre, right..??

^^^ Well, you will have to go through couple of checks before you settle for the right tyre pressure. However as a general yard stick since the cold tyre pressure is 28 psi and 33 psi, adding 2 psi will make your benchmark 30 psi and 35 psi respectively.

However, I would still recommend that you do a cold tyre check once in while. All it requires is that the tyre is allowed to cool for a period of about a hour and then check the pressure within a kilometer and half of running.

But the company recommends 28 in front and 30 in rear.

Does adding 3 more psi in rear wont make the bike a bit imbalanced?

Hi Guys,

Sometime ago during Aug I had raised one issue where my bike just stopped in the mid-highway as fuel stopped coming. There was a blockage in the fuel pipe.

LINK

From long time I did not see anything happening from dealer. Also I was occupied with my office work. Finally I thought to put a feedback regarding fuel pump and these issues 3 weeks ago. Finally Yamaha called me via Orion motors. They found out that fuel pump is the culprit(I wonder why they did not check in Aug itself). Its costing 8K.
Now can any one tell me is it comes under insurance claim? The showroom says we can't claim insurance on it. BTW, my bike is a 08 model.
Also I have heard fuel pump is common among all r15; could this be a manufacturing issue?

The fuel pump cannot be claimed under insurance unless you are able to show that it was involved in some sort of accident. Since your bike is a 08 model (and you most probably don't have a extended warranty), you cannot claim it under warranty. It is not a manufacturing defect. The problem lies with the quality of fuel and running the bike will low levels of fuel.

Thanks Abhimanyu. Its kind of difficult to fake an accident with a clean bike. I agree with your last part; quality of fuel. And culprit is Indian Oil. Whenever I had the\is issue, it was from Indian Oil only

. Getting ready for a huuuuge bill

Now this is just a suggestion but if u have any friends who have raped their r15's and have a messed up side fairing then you can borrow the fairing and put it on ur bike and say that u had a spill on the bike and u've had the problem since then

The chances of fuel pump going kaput was high on the old models as i think the later batches the issue was solved, On the other side fire a mail to backoffice@yamaha and see what they respond to you, giving all clear details, as normally fuel pumps and all are strong till 1 lakh kms.
Again if they prove that the fuel injection got damaged due to riding in low fuel than you have to claim insurance from some other dealer as the later may prove you wrong.

Frankly when the fuel is low i.e in reserve if you see the parked bike makes the injection movement sounds very slowly may be in and hours time. If you are getting that sounds than i think your fuel pump is ok and the springs have to be checked.
