Hello guys

I owned my R15 from last 4 years and never had any problem in my bike in this time. But 2 years ago I faced a serious problem in my bike's fuel pump and it was due to over heating of the fuel pump as the bike was parked in hot open garage in my house for 1 month. At that time I visited at Yamaha Service Station for for multiple times but the service guys were unable to resolve this problem. Then a service guy found that the bike's fuel pump do not respond whenever its parked in hot places and indeed he was right, after taking it in a cool place (at least for 30 minutes) the starts perfectly runs like anything never happened to it. Then he consult with his area service Engineer (Yamaha head office Engineer) and after watching a citation that Engineer replaced the fuel pump under the warranty. After that time I even Leh'd in last year on my bike and there was no failure in any part of the bike.
But yesterday it was very hot and I started my bike in the morning after 30-35 days, as usual it starts at the self. Then I rode it a near by place and parked it in the parking, after one hour when I was about to go home it happened again. Bike's fuel pump stopped responding and because of my old bitter experience I knew that its a fault in the fuel pump, so I just take my bike in the shadow under a tree waited for the fuel pump to get cool down and after 1 hour I tried to start the bike again but it fails. Then somehow I arranged some cold water and pour-spray it on bikes fuel tank right after spraying 2-3 bottles of cold water on the tank the fuel pump starts making sounds like it usually do in every R15. So after that makeshift troubleshoot the bike gets started and I returned home. Then I talked with Servicing dealer, he told me that the fuel pump must be replaced to resolve this problem and it cost around Rs 7500. I was astonished with his words and thought how cheap is the built quality of Yamaha spares. A module costing near about Rs 7500 has a lifespan of 1-2 years. Then I talked in the Yamaha head office regarding this complaint and they also asked me to replace the pump and told me that this time it will not be covered under warranty. Now I am very disappointed with this crap bike & cheap spares maker Yamaha Motor India.

And there are a lot of people in our area who faced this problem and there's no solution except replacement of the module. So anyone there who faced such problem in his bike? Anyone there who knows where can I get the fuel pump repair?


And after repairing I will definitely switch to any other good built brand like Honda or Kawasaki.

Sorry to hear the fuel pump issue, i think since yours is a 2008 model many of the bikes had the similiar issue as the 2010 batch R15 this issue was resolved as i myself park my bike for hours and days in direct sunlight but i make sure that i always keep my fuel tank above the last indicator, i.e 2 or more as the pump technically is submerged in the petrol and lack of petrol can cause over heating and sensors can go kaput, i think this same happened in your case too.

how much fuel do you generally keep in the tank?
and next time this happens, just open the fuel filler cap and then close it after a few seconds, try again..does it start now?

^^^ water contamination. The water in the fuel tank. Ask them to check the fuel cap's sealing and also to ensure that the drain pipe is not obstructed.

^^check with yamaha dealers, if you are lucky you may find one. It was launched long back and very few were available then, last i checked monarch auto in pune had one in red colour and that was the last piece he had left.

For the past few month i am facing this problem several times, after riding for about 10-15kms my bike suddenly stops then then when i press the button to start the bike it does not respond then i try to jump start the bike initially feels as if it is getting out of breath then i keep the revs high then bike behaves normal. I went to Setco Yamaha(East Delhi) and the guy told me that the problem is of the fuel pump and i have to pay 7500rs and i asked is it under warranty the service guy said no its not. Then I called Himgiri Yamaha(Krishna Nagar Delhi) to ask whether the fuel pump is under warranty? the guy said yes and he told me to bring the bike to service center. I went there the mechanic told me that i have to leave the bike for a day. So i did what was told by him, then when i went to pick my bike the service center guy told me that the bike is normal they didn't any problem they just adjusted the clutch play.
Then after taking the bike from service center for couple of days the bike was normal then after 2-3 days the same problem occurred and still facing.
I need help in this.
Thanks in advance
