Query Approved and Merged with ownership threadAdvice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

You will need to change the upper triple clamp. Your best bet would be to try and source a triple clamp from the Vixion.Originally posted by satishg View Postcan we fix a Karizma ZMR handle bar on the R15 ? Any other options for a conventional handle bar for R15 ?Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.

^^^ possible, though I have no idea if it is the same or not. I do doubt that they are the same. The FZ has larger diameter inner tubes than the R15 so the fork clamps on the FZ triple clamp will obviously be of a larger diameter.Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.

My bike has completed 25k kms in 2 years and I'm facing an issue. There is a slight chak chak kinda sound coming from the rear wheel while the bike is in motion. It is not the chain noise as I've kept it in great shape properly cleaned and lubed every 200-300kms. I suspect it is the rubber bushings behind the sprocket. Does anyone has any info on this?
@ satishg, you can drill and put risers on the top triple of your bike if you want a normal handlebar setup. Be aware that you might need new clutch and brake lines as the handle bar will be higher and the cable will need to be longer.

Bang on target but around bullseye. Its the rear wheel ball bearing hub which is eroding the alloy. Kindly replace it ASAP.Originally posted by Parth View PostMy bike has completed 25k kms in 2 years and I'm facing an issue.

Thanks Parth. i think the best would be then to get a Vixion triple clamp and the cables?Originally posted by Parth View PostMy bike has completed 25k kms in 2 years and I'm facing an issue.

Check the tyre walls, the fitment of tyres are proper or no, the air valve and check for any punctures or anything.Originally posted by Sarvajit View Post@shrinathrao: I got the rear tyre&rim checked at MRF. After checking thoroughly with soap solution, the result was that the rim is not bent&there are no small punctures too!
What next-check the tyre fitting? Paint already removed from the inside of both rims&front is not leaking.

Face the same issue on mine too so did a diesel wash to the chain and sprockets removed the rear wheel bearing sprocket, greased it well and left the bike over night to dry and morning applied grease the next dayon the chain and though its a bit messy there was no sound, at all after that and i use even the normal oil which they use for can thing and its doing a good job.

Our heartiest wishes for your R15. Wish you both safety and more miles ahead broOriginally posted by imrandkhan View PostToday marks a momentous day in my biking life
Still remember the day 26th June 2009 when I first time saw her and touched for the first ride from showroom to home. Many people along the road was looking at me and I had no lesser feeling than the celebrity, but
R15 gave a platform for many new sports bikes in the country, created a segment itself. She defiantly gave birth to the super sports biking in our country and fulfilled dreams of many biking enthusiast who are very crazy to have a sports bike. One of them is me and I am addict to my R15
Happy birthday my babe, you are very very special
, I love you

any1 know the cost for a coneset replacement for the r15?? i think i need a replacement coz i hear a TUK noise everytime i use the front brake.Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a Ride!' -Hunter S. Thompson
