    I'm in the market for a battery replacement, and looked at 4Ah & 5Ah batteries of Amaron & Exide respectively.
    While the 4Ah is identical in size to the OEM battery, the 5Ah is a bit taller in height. Not sure if it will fit well.

    Please advise.

    I've been using using Amaron 5A battery for 1 yr now. It'll fit only if you remove the padding from battery compartment. I've removed mine and it sits in pretty well.

      [MENTION=12506]chiku181[/MENTION] any reason why you went in for 5Ah, instead of the stock 4Ah?

      The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

        Stock battery is 3.5Ah AFAIK. Coming to Amaron, they are much better in terms of life of battery as compared to its competition and morever it offers 2 years replacement guarantee + additional 2 years warranty. Hence opted for amaron.

          Re: Yamaha YZF-R15

          Why did you go go for 5Ah, instead of 3.5/4Ah?

          Are you running HIDs or other electrical mods?

            My bike is still bone-stock. Good reviews of it on Xbhp + personal experience of using amaron batteries in our car and inverter + the 2 yr replacement guarantee were some factors which helped me narrow down my choice to amaron.

              Gluing isn't a permanent solution. You got two choices with you, either get it heated, removed and put back which is a whole big procedure or you can avoid directing water towards that area.

                This Saturday, got my bike services and clutch plates and cone set changed. Also, changed both tyres.

                The tyres are stock ones MRF zapper FY1 (R15 v2's stock front) and zapper S (100/80-17 R15 v1's stock) as zapper FY (80/90-17) was not available .

                the MRF showroom guys insisted that it is ok. I'd already completed 27000 kms on the original stock tyres, it badly needed replacement, so I agreed to install FY1 on my bike.
                Now, I feel that the bike leans too much too quickly on slightest hint of pressure on either handles (I am habituated to counter steering for turning or navigating the bike in traffic).

                My question is, whether the slight change in the stock size (90/80-17 instead of 80/90-17) on front tyre changes the handling dramatically, or is it just my assumptions. or whether this change is effected by the whole changes (cone set + clutch plates + Tyres)??

                Experts advice needed

                  Hello,

                  I don't remember the exact breakup of the charges and I do not have the bill with me right now. But the total charges for regular service + cone set + clutch change was approx INR 3000.

                    My 09 R15 has done about 56k kms and has developed some sort of rattles as if some parts within the engine are loose. Sounds like its coming from the top of the engine.
                    I usually change oil every 3000 kms but this time couldn't do it cause of some health issues and changed the oil after 5000kms.
                    The amount of oil that wad flushed out was about 550 ml.

                    A mechanic of mine said the bore n rings are weak n said exhaust tip has carbon deposits so engine work has to be carried out. Is this true?
                    Could the long service interval have damaged the engine?


                    I have always used 300v engine oil. Haven't experienced any problems in the past.
                    I had bought the bike used when it was at 18k kms. Haven't adjusted any tappets / valve clearances. So could that be the cause?
                    Experts please help.
                    Thanks

                        Re: Yamaha YZF-R15

                        Got the bike serviced at 35200 kms. The work done included changing:
                        1. Clutch plates
                        2. Cone sets
                        3. Front diskpads
                        4. Left Front shock absorber seal and oil
                        5. Radiator flush and clean
                        6. New coolant ( Motul)
                        7. Tank clean.

                        The total bill came to Rs. 10026 which I feel is too much for the work done.

                          Can't see the text on the bill properly, could you post a better picture? But seriously, did the O-rings cost 135 rupees?

                          EDIT: Messed with the photo on Photoshop, now a little bit clear. Damn! those labor price would make my head explode like a watermelon shot with a 10 gauge.
