Or some modification required for that.
When i google this & found some pics.
I m going to buy used r15 v1.
Main problem with v2 is its pillion seat.
thats why select used v1.
as new v1 is discontinued.

Before going for v1, do make sure you have some place where you can source tyres, getting hand on the front and rear tyres of the v1 has been a real pain.

Indeed it is, but consider this getting the v1 and then when it's time for a tyre change (front or rear) you are going to have a very hard time to get hold of one, i had searched a lot for those tyres for a few of my friends and even though the shop in my locality had stock and now even that is finished and its the same case almost everywhere.
Ofcourse you can try other brand tyres but it will not be the same.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15

Haha.. I do not own a r15 mate,
I had arranged a few tyres for a friend of mine for his v1 which when all of kerala had no stock, the one shop in my locality had a few left, that was a few months back, now its not available anywhere, so was just warning our friend here that before taking the v1 to be sure about the availability.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15

Hi Guys, I got an r15v2 and got into a problem with my bike.
Today morning suddenly my bike refused to start. The engine warning light popped up on HUD. Checked the blinks it came 4 long blips and 8 short blips. Push starting also failed. Called the svc, mech came down and fixed the issue.
Now coming to the issue, the wire going into the Fuel Injector has got almost worn off at the point it enters the injector. He has temp fixed the issue by putting a black tape on it. Asked him what permanent fix option is to which he is saying that the whole wiring kit ~ Rs 3550 and the injector ~5K needs to be replaced. When I pointed out why I need to change the injector he said that I can give it a skip. Also he mentioned that there is another way of repairing the whole wire and he will charge me ~1500.
Somehow am not too convinced with his methods and he said that this is a very common issue.
Guys let me know if any of you have faced this issue.
Also tell me if there is any mech in Bangalore who can do this work properly (wiring and electricals) (svc is on a rip-off mode I guess).

Not faced this type of issue yet. But seems it can be done quite easily if ur good with soldring irons / lugs. Or take it to local mechanic (not recommended ) But they will do it perfectly if u offer them a good amout. Still it will be less then company's price. Just ask him to lug all wires and not to just twist and tape like this one seems in pic.

Happy riding.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15

^^Looks like the wire has got a little melted.
What I would do, cut the wire, add a new wire (same gauge) twist together, solder and cover with heat shrink tubing, permanent fix for less than 50 rupees. Cheaper and better than letting a chimpanzee do the work.

Hey evryone...I am new here, but with lots of hope i am writing here..please help me..I my bike is YAMAHA R15. For the past few weeks, my bike is not starting properly. Ive to press the ignition for atleast a minute to start it. I approached the yamaha service centre couple of times. They checked my spark plug, cleaned petrol tank(because water got into the tank), cleaned air filter and also changed oil and oil filter.They top up coolent also. But the problem is still not solved. Yesterday the overheating warning light was on. I did only 3 km and the warning light was lit. Please help me find a solution for this problem.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15

Problem with my Rear Break.

A weired thing happened to me when I was riding to work this morning, I was riding on Uppal road towards Singapore township (I was doing only about 65-70kmph) and had to apply break. As per my practice I applied both my breaks (front and rear). the weired thing was the rear break lever travelled all the way down without any impact on the rear wheel, this happened 3-4 time continuously in a span of 15 mins and then the break behaviour returned to normal. Can any one suggest why this happened and what needs to be done to avoid this in future??

Check brake fluid level,brake hose. There must be air bubbles captured in the tube which causing this problem.

Clear air bubbles and check for difference [emoji4]

How many kms of odo?
Have those guys adjusted tappets? Sounded like blown head gasket to me.
but it still doesn't explain the engine overheating.
Make sure radiator fan works, check the thermostat temperature sensor, it might help.
White fumes in exhaust, check using a finger if there is any sooty residue at the exhaust tip.
Any change is sound? Anything else you can tell us more?

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15

Recently got the main stand installed on my bike (the official one released by yamaha) but ever time I take my bike of stand out makes a very loud noise (like two metal pats banging together) can anything be done to remove/reduce this noise? It is very annoying
