Nice ride report there santa. The cost of the chain sprocket kit is too high man. Now that is defi not imported.

Anyone coming to perfect riders tomo. Planning to get a center stand.

And about those position lamp accessories .. they are wide angle LEDs. Go to any auto parts shop and get a few fused LEDs for free. Throw away the LEDs, keep the base and buy 2 wide angle LEDs from SP road. Should be done for under 100 bucks a piece. Otherwise flick one from some age old cell phone with a LED flash.

Any new/to-be owners .. kindly use the search feature before posting. We have discussed most of the bike on this thread except maybe gearbox internals.

Guys.. the cowls are not available at Pearl Yamaha. Tried Venkatesha Motors too..but no luck, anyone knows where I can get them from?? Too desperate to get one before even the last lots get over

Hey guys,
This is referring to the Projector lens we saw in Page 246(if I'm right). I called the guy up and asked him to send me some pics so that i can decide If i shud put it on my bike.

Pricing: Rs 4000 for the pair.

Its not a custom fit for the R15. it fits any other bike/Car(ofcos with some tinkering and circus

). Also, in the YouTube video if you notice he's mounted the Lens above the Reflector. Anyways, I managed to get the pictures of the Lens that goes into the Headlight.

If it's the same unbranded one I have seen here in Singapore (and I suspect it is), don't bother.

Hi guys.... I'm having some serious problems with by bike. Mono shock action is completely lost since a week and I can feel the difference. When I hit a bump or hole, bike just vibrates as if I'm riding a bike without shocks

Anyone else having the same problem ? What could be cause. Visited the showroom today and its completely waste of time

**metalmouth** · 01-31-2009, 11:16 PM

If you notice there is an opening near the concave reflector. Im guessing the light will 'leak' making the lens useless as its mounted on the stock reflector.

Today changed the engine oil of my R15(6300kms old) to Castrol Power One Racing. There is a noticeable improvement in gearshift, slight reduction in vibes throughout the rev range.

Perfect Riders, Bangalore has all the accessories. If you have any friends/relatives, you can ask them to send it/bring it for you. I did the same -picked them up when I was in B'lore.

I remember a guy here who got his rims replaced under warranty (even his bike got banged by a pot hole). Check the warranty again and inquire in various SS.

Warranty Terms & Conditions in the manual mention clearly that the wheel rims are not in the scope. Good for that guy, he got them under warranty!

insist on taking a test ride with u and on another bike too. I know for that matter that my bike's shock is much stiffer than some other bikes' but I wanted it that way! Others are comfy but would swing at higher speeds!

Well, too bad I don't have any relatives at bangalore, in fact I've never even been there till date! Can you please help me out in this in any way? Any possibilities? :|

Well, who knew they'd stop production and all..the accessories are still in the flow, God knows why only the cowls! Anyways, i'm still a student..I don't earn you know, or I'd be the FIRST to get that cowl!

On a serious note, I already had spent enough on both the rims and the front fairing. So couldn't ask dad for a cowl that costs another 2k, so gave dad a pause before I asked him again and he's finally convinced!

Well.. Aren't linked type monocross suspensions designed to be softer in the beginning of the travel and stiffen up as the load increases? I never experienced any swinging at high speeds. It feels soft only uptil a certain amount of travel and then stiffens up progressively.

The mono shock wont give you any personal pleasure. The tires that we have (rather the whole bike) are meant for smooth surfaces. A small bump or sand will screw that up. I met an accident only coz of tires (thr was a lot of sand). Anyhow, as per your condition for monoshock, you must really try out with a pillion and ask him if his @ss was damaged. If yes, then visit SS.

Anyone else having the same problem ?
- Not me!
