Put your bike on neutral, start the bike and leave it on idling, now from the left side engine cover you will get a slow rough pulley side noise coming, when you press the clutch it will change the firing and the noise can be heard clearly. Thats what is primary drive.

Compare it with someones new bike and you will understand it.

Did you replaced the forks oil and oil seals too ?

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a used R15 v1. Testdrove a 2009 model with 15000 kms mileage and in good condition. The Seller was asking for Rs.68000 but agreed for Rs 63000. Is this a good deal and what are the things which I need to check. Thanks.

yes, don't know about the rough pulley sound, but when i depress the clutch lever in neutral, the sound of the engine changes..
does this primary drive affect the performance/acceleration? any more details would help a lot..

and no, didn't change the oil seals..
thanks again..

Normally, the primary drive gear is changed when you change your clutch plates, What oil grade you using and which brand ?
change the oil seals man when you change the oil of the front shocks.
Also check the spring tension.

was using motul5100ss, tried 300v for the first time this time...
i didn't change the oil of the front shocks..changed the cone-set..

Price of Cone bearing

Hi all,

My steering has taken up a toss... it shakes and trembles when on rough roads.. Mechanic suggested that I should replace cone bearing... and the price of it over here in Nepal is 6500 around mark.. I am totally shocked price of a small bearing costs that much. Can you let me know the price of it in India? Thanks...

Dear XBHPians,

Recently, i got to know about a used 2010 V1 R15 in NCR, HR26BEXXXX. The seller is quoting 75K for it.
Yesterday, i went his place to have a look at it.

The bike was in stock conditions (threads were visible on tyres and no modifications). Regularly serviced as said (was last serviced ~1500 km, 9000 Km On ODO at present). The reason for selling was that he want to buy a car.

Now, i ride a P135, so have no ideas about R15. Test drived R15. Overall feel was good, no strange noises etc. Since, it was dark but still i can say there were no scratches. Only thing bothering me is a strange type of noise coming from engine-more of a kat-kat-kat-kat on idling (~1.2K RPM).
I recorded the engine sound by putting my cell phone close to lower-right side of engine. AT first engine was running on idling then i twisted the throttle to 2-3K RPM with sudden twists. I have attached the audio file (zipped) for the same as an attachment.

I guy was saying like look its nothing but idling issue (that time engine idle was at 1200RPM), he also assured me that if i have any doubt regarding that strange sound then i can take any mechanic with me to have a closer look at the bike.

My dilemma:
1) Since, it is registered at Gurgaon, will it be feasible to transfer it on my name (i reside at sarita vihar, delhi)? (Ready to pay RTO touts)
2) That strange noise from engine is bothering me.

So, help with your valuable comments especially R15 owners!

PS: UNable to attach the zip file. Kindly follow the link
Looking for used R15_Suggestion

This seems to be the stock sound of the bike , I also recently picked up a 2010 R15 , I also noticed this sound at idling , have done 2500kms in 3 months and haven't encountered any problem . I do have an RC 165cc big bore and simota air filter , so I attributed the sound to that and rode on .

I recently changed mine along with the fork oil, came to Rs 2700 including labour.

dude, the sound seems to be normal..when the idling is low, the bike sounds similar to the one you've posted..get the idling rpm corrected and you should be good to go..

AFAIK, after releasing a product into market, they need to supply the spares for 15 years or so.

Anyone here tried CBR250R's 12V 6amp battery ?

ECU upgrade is it possible ?

Is it possible to update the ECU for the V1 R15 to V2 R15 ?Has anyone tried this let me know.

IN India etire conset costs Rs 3200, so decide yourself!!
BTW did you check the wheel bearing ?? and tyre pressure??

How come 1L it's 1.17 ...lol..but yes R15 V1 will face some delay in spare parts in SVC coming yrs!!. But i don't see R15 V2 much on roads. MOstly i see NS200, CBR 250 and R15 V1 only and other bikes.

But very few R15v2 and CBR 150. I ride daily a 42kms highway ride!!

If Yamah launches R25 then surely will buy that, till then i happy with Fantasy!!

Left side Mirror!!!

Just spoke to Yamah SVC Koparkairane for left side mirror and they said Rs251 !!!

Holly Cow !!! Is this the right price ??? Or need to check some where else??

Yes, that's correct price.
Actually I too had to replace my left RVM from Thane SVC and it was ~ Rs/-250 as far as I remember.
