    Yamaha LED Position lights

    I have got my Yamaha LED Position lights fixed. They are looking amazing. Compared them to a disco light too. It really felt as though it was 3 times brighter. Will upload pics soon.

        @R15Rocks- Post some pics.

        @Sagar-Thanks.

        Today I got my bike's third servicing done. I also changes the Headlight cowl and Side Panel which were damaged 2 months back in a crash. One thing that I noticed today was that the mechanic first sprayed the MOTUL chain lube and after that he applied some other oil(Engine oil i guess). It is really required to apply other oil?

        PS-I am planning to install NGK Iridium Spark plug. Will CR8EIX be OK? Does this cause any battery drainage problem?

          No, they don't need to. either one is enuff - as per the R6 2007 & R1 2007 Service manual.

          PS-I am planning to install NGK Iridium Spark plug. Will CR8EIX be OK? Does this cause any battery drainage problem?
          No issues at all. What you mentioned should be the correct iridium plug. BTW, what plug do u have as stock?

              as per information in xBhp it might harm the O-Ring seals... but the Yamaha manuals mention this specifically... not one, but three of them.

                Finally got my chain cleaned and lubricated using the Yamalube from the Yamaha Pro service company center in Pune. The chain had to be cleaned with petrol to remove the sticky Motul lube I had been using so far as advised by the M.P Yamaha guys in Pune during my first servicing. The cleaning and lubrication together cost me 200Rs. but the chain noise has disappeared and the bike also feels a lot smoother. For all those who had asked for more information about the Yamalube, well this "Dry Type" lube forms a white layer on top of the chain which not only lubricates the chain but also protects it from rust and moisture. This moisture resistant quality of the lube makes it perfect for open O-ring type chains. My source is Mr. Yunus, who is one of the main mechanics at the service center.
                Sagar, forming a layer on top of the chain to lubricate it, to protect from rust & moisture is what all the chain lubes do. May be this one does it better. Surprisingly I am not able to find more info about this one on the net... can you get some snaps of the can please...

                Also, It is not suggested to clean the O-ring chain with Petrol... it has strong solvents and gives a lot of vapors.... these can get into the O-ring seals and contaminate the lube sealed inside them... thus decreasing the lube's effectiveness. The R1 & R6 manuals clearly mentioned Kerosine for this purpose.

                Please search for R6 or R1 sevice manual on the net. They are about 20 MB in size. I downloaded them today. They have very clear step by step diagramtic explanation for this. Couldn't find more relavant service manuals like the R15, R125 or the Vixion.

                  I will have to check it.
                  Yes, usage of any petroleum based product will damage the O-ring seals. That includes petrol,diesel,engine oil,etc. These products harden the rubber seals inside the O-rings,thus rendering the seals useless of their actual purpose of sealing the lubricant inside the O-Rings. This's why we're supposed to use only lubricants/cleaners that're specially made for O-Ring type chains.

                  So, you should better run your vehicle without any lubricant at all than running it with some engine oil on the chain. The O-Ring chains are pre-lubricated and should run fine for their lifetime without any extra lubrication(theoretically). The extra lube that we apply on the chain is only to save it from rust and iron out any minor flaws in the transmission. I in fact have been running on a totally dry chain for a month or more till now, and no issues like chain noise (ofcourse i'm not sure about the loss in power). And the grime from previous services was thick enough on the side portion of the chain to prevent it from rusting.

                    Either what we thought is correct all this while is not exactly that way or Yamaha thinks otherwise... Saw 3 service manuals of Yamaha today... only for the chain cleaning process. Yes, they mentioned to clean the chain in kerosine.. and then for the external lubrication they told either engine oil or chain lube spray...

                      My new R15

                      Have clocked 130kms by now. The bike is ultra smooth and sexy. It does lacks some serious grunt under 4k rpm but a little bit of down shifting does the job.And regardless of the lack of lowend torque the bike is damn quick and this comment is comming from an RTR owner(thats me).I need some serious Running-in tips from you guys.And i wanted 2 ask u guys sumthing..In the manual it is written that you should not take the bike above 5k rpm for the first 500kms but by mistake i took her to 6k rpm by mistake for just 1-1.5 sec is it something serious...would it affect the engine to a great extent??? will be waiting for replies,till then ride safe

                          rip it once in a while .. not a prob .. the whole idea is to not overheat the engine so short bursts of high rpm is not at all detrimental and may actually be beneficial .. I ripped my vehicle to 7K RPM when the bike had done 50 KM and then mototuned it .. although after moto tuning I followed standard run in with occasional high rev bursts .. engine is as smooth as it was then ..

                          get the oil changed at 500 and then get both the oil and filter changed at first service. And by then we should be seeing your name on the spreadsheet .

                            Check your Owner's Manual, page 6-22. It says the following:

                            "
                            Caution: To prevent damaging the o-rings, do not clean the drive chain with steam cleaners,high pressure washers or inappropriate solvents.

                            Point 3:Thoroughly lubricate the drive chain with a SPECIAL O-RING chain lubricant.

                            Caution: Do not use engine oil or any other lubricants for the drive chain, as they may contain substances that could damage the o-rings.
                            "

                              @ HydBiker- Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of the ill-effects of using Petrol on O-Ring chains. Now I defi need to have a word with the Pro-service guys. Moreover, information on the Yamalube, these guys are using, is not easily available on the net. I have done a lot of research but haven't yet come across any handy info. Next time, I am at the SS will get some pics of the can and also the price quotes of both, the cleaner and the lube.

                                @discoverboy2612- Another point I would like to add is to never run the bike continuously on one set rpm for a long time during your run-in time. In other words, vary the engine speed now and again and avoid operating the engine on the same throttle position for long intervals.
