Matte is better coz it doesn't get scratched as easily as the body colored panels!

Thats why they always called the R15 the baby R1. If you see the black, the similarity is even more evident, including the font of the sticker on the side panel! I had seen this earlier too!
Anyways, talking of colors, DarkKnight said 2 colors may be launched, including white&red. Now if that happens, I'll be one jealous bugger if I see a white&red R15 on the road beside me!Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

If the red & white one gets launched I'll be even more jealous cause for me it will be a case of so near yet so far ! If anyone can give us a definite time frame please do let us know. I dont want to be one of those tortured souls who will find the pics of 2 lovely paint schemes by Yamaha a day after I get my bike .....
Doubt if Orion guys know much about it though. I asked them about the updated FZ 16 but they didnt know anything. Probably will arrive by month end they said. Yesterday I bumped into a friend of mine who was telling me the Orion guys were telling him about the FZS that will be coming out shortly. They were telling him its 600 cc !Comment

It's worse for me. I paid a queen's ransom to get mine painted White & Red.Originally posted by neil.jericho View PostAnd God said, "Let there be light" and there was HID Kit. And God saw that the light was good;Comment

Chill out guys, even if white is launched, going by the white R1 which has only a small patch of dark red in it, I think the older colors still look better.Originally posted by Adway View Post
@Adway: Custom is always custom. I'm sure yours will look better even if the same combo is launched!
@Neil: Let us tear down that guy who said the FZ-S is 600cc! That apart, no one knows whether the new colors are going to be launched for sure&if yes, when.
@HydBiker: White will become off-white&then yellow in no time considering Hyderabad dust isn't it?
Add to that touring-we can even make that guy's bike from white to brown
in one or two long tours!

Guys,
Which coolant are we supposed to use in our R15s? Is there any specific grade or something?Comment

But your's does look like Her Royal Highness... There's nothing any closer to your R15 in looks.Originally posted by Adway View Post
Nothing specific. If you manage to get Motul MotoCool (Rs 311) use it. Else get a good 'ready to use' coolant and not those that you have to dilute with water - these are the ones people use for most cars. Such a can in Castrol costs about Rs 250. But there is a hell lot of difference between the Castrol one & Motul. I saw the material and used both of them in my bike.Originally posted by Srijan View Post
That's why most new whites are metallic ones... they don't fade! Also the newer colours are much better than those used during grand old Amby days... though fade is inevitable!Originally posted by R15Rocks View PostWhite will become off-white&then yellow in no time considering Hyderabad dust isn't it?

call up all Yamaha service centers in Hyd. At least one should have stock. You can find Motul distributors list in the Universal threads (a separate thread for this).Originally posted by Srijan View Post

Do not worry about the color scheme. After you feel the power of the bike, the 'color scheme' will just be a 'color'Originally posted by neil.jericho View Post FZ-S is not 600CC (AFAIK).
True!Originally posted by R15Rocks View Post
AFAIK its 150CC(same) with Rs. 2000/- price increase.Originally posted by R15Rocks View Post
Dark Brown should look good actually.Originally posted by R15Rocks View Post@HydBiker: White will become off-white&then yellow in no time considering Hyderabad dust isn't it?
