    @SVJHonda: Turning off the ignition key would shut down your engine completely, in which case when you switch the ignition key to 'On' mode again, the system once again performs a routine start-up check of the electricals, including the radiator fan in case of R15 (the sound that you hear everytime). Indeed the engine-kill switch is meant for use at traffic signals. You can simply switch it off when you stop at a signal, then button start once you need to go, thereby eliminating the need for start-up check at every signal. This is how I use the kill switch for my other bike too.

                    Some m***s peeled off Yamaha logo sticker on right side of tank and small logo on the back side

                    Serious suggestion to all:

                    Pl. do service your bike before you run out of mentioned date / KMS. Guys at showroom rejected my first service and did the 2nd service (I went for servicing on 40th day (some 700 Kms)).They were telling some stupid reasons for that..

                    and to my experience, pl. don't *service* your bike @ Venkatesha motors, hyd. I asked the guy over there to fix the noise coming from visor (I removed it few days back and failed to reinstall it correctly), that guy just inserted some paper folds in between and delivered the bike, do u belive ?? I had to leave immediately after seeing that... I have no words to ask or shout there...

                      many foreign bike manuals also say that the kill switch is for emergency use only. why is this ? and why don't the indian bike manuals say so?

                        My SS guy ince forbade me to do it. I didn't listen to him, but I'll ask him 'why not to do it'.
                        And God said, "Let there be light" and there was HID Kit. And God saw that the light was good;

                              nothing will happen even if you take precautions..or stop blowing your horn, it is becoz the horn is attached directly with the radiator..however it will come under warranty.

                                As of today my R15 has clocked 8200kms in 13 weeks. Completed a 1100kms ride yesterday. Bent the both the wheels in a shallow pot hole. Infact on the way, the side of the rear wheel folded and tyre was flat. Rode flat for 50kms to find a puncture shop. Hammered the side of the rim and rode down. Kept repeating this expercise for over 100kms.
                                The tubeless tyres are good for clocking speeds above 100+ even with a flat . I'm impressed. But the quality of the wheels are hopeless. They can never even withstand a simple pot hole.
