Use HIDs with a projector if you really want to as I have the experience to say it is truly blinding and highly distracting.

    I havnt been to indiranagar since ages. Also, I dont use HIDs in the city. As I told you there are 2 bulbs. One being the HID and other a normal yellow bulb.

    And the white rings are just CFL tubes.

    Peace

          • WoW... @Metalmouth... your R15's head light's look Fabulous....
            @Jawed... u r doing a great deal to make ur bike special... I'm loving it...
            @Thy, good installation of the horn :-)

            Guys, I was at the Pearl Yamaha Service Center all day yesterday. Some bits of info here...

            Check the attached picture... a new lot of R15's that came 2 days back came with a mesh on the right side inner panel and a warning sticker... they said that all R15's would be called upon soon and the mesh would be placed for every bike.

            R15 is gonna get an update in December... one of the important changes would be an ECU remapping that'd pump out better power in the low end.

            Tank Protectors, Seat Cowls & LED Position lamps are not coming for now and no indication if coming at all.

            Pearl Yamaha have got some accessories few days back and I got some for my bike. Interested people might want to rush in.

            When you guys go for your service, please make sure you check the coolant levels and refill the tank to required levels. It is surprising that my bike had it at almost LOW mark. The service engineer told me that my bike is better as most bikes have it at the extreme end or nothing in the tank at all. They used Motul's coolant and charged me Rs 50 for the refill. Full 1l bottle costs over Rs 300.

            Finally, the Yamaha track day (19th Oct) registrations are on. Registration fee Rs 500. All transportation (of bike and owner) and accommodation is taken care of by Yamaha. Last date for registration is 17th Oct. Carry 1 PP size photo, copy of License & R15's RC. Winner gets Rs 1000, 2nd & 3rd prizes also there. Total Prizes worth 1lakh as mentioned in the application form. This is for R15 Owners in AP, not just Hyderabad.

            • friendz i have already told you some days earlier that all the r15s will get an upgrade in power which will be 20bhp from the current 17 bhp. at that time i thought it was something fake but after hearing from HYDBIKER i think i have heard the correct information....man....i just can't wait.....


              my clutch cable is still to arrive at the SS......don't know how long will it take.....

                Any idea about battery usage ? Is the battery getting drained too fast ?

                    Do they have gloves now? Are they recommendable if anyone have used them?

                    Also what is the functionality of newly added mesh?

                    Comment


                    • The yellow lights take up the same power as the stock headlights. But the HIDs seems to take up a lil more power. Well thats what I feel. Before i put the "cut out" the battery drained out and the yellow light started blinking since the time i put it, I havnt had any problem.

                        i guess this is to prevent stuff from falling into the radiator and cooling fan area
                        they have been warning umpteen number of times reegarding this
                        maybe after placing teh mesh they think people will stop placing cleaning cloths in teh faring..i have seen dumb idiots do that repeatedly

                            • well well well....
                              so we've for india's first sportsbike..that too from Yamaha..that too the only a 150cc that doesnt compete with any 150cc (only looks for 220s on the road)...and to top it off...if u think thats not enough for u..yamaha is getting more horses for the 150cc engine
                              not only life...but the biking gets bigger and better from here
                              Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                              • wow 20bhp. The best is getting much better. Now even on Paper R15 will be the best bike in India. Cant wait for December.
                                That mesh thingy is bad. I am not gonna let those SS guys put it hat on my bike.
