      First the chain sound&now this sound-both after the 4th Service.

      P.S. Its more than 500kms. since my last service&lube (just a week!). Where can I get the Motul chain lube&clean in Hyderabad?

      Edit: After placing the bike on the paddock stand, I have confirmed that it is the chain noise itself, which has increased, probably after my 363 km.ride yesterday!
      Guess its time to go to the SS to get the chain loosened&lubed again!
      Well, motul chain degreaser and lube are available with the SS. But, most of the time, they are outta stock.

      I bought OKS lube and degreser. They are available at Ranigunj. HydBiker uses the same. He said, they are pretty good and the lube, comparitively, lasts longer.

        No i mean seriously.. this is just an act of desperation and nothing else..
        It wont b too late to see a platina with R15 fairing and the person may add under seat exhuast to enhance the oomph factor...lol..

        In this case even the colors are miss matched.. The front fairing is of different color and the tank is something else.. I wonder how on earth he rides such a bike...lol...
        wow.....a great desperado act.....TVS R15....

            i am experiencing something similar. but since the 1st service. a continuous whistling sound from front (like that of a pressure cooker, but not too loud), even when not moving.
            i bent down to listen and probably it came through the fuel cap!!! or i guess so. and i constantly hear the sound every now and then. may be its the extra pressure release from the tank.. or may SOMETHING ELSE.
            if anyone can throw some HID focus on this issue..

                Jawed... your bike is looking better with every change you do. Frankly, I felt something missing in ur bike after the previous paint/stickering but now it looks smashing. The tuning forks is very well executed. Cheers

                Chain & Front sprocket. Get them set right. Also, when that sound comes try holding the bubble screen with ur hand and see of there's any reduction in noise...

                That's the fuel pump. If the sound is continuous it irritates. Open the fuel cap once and it shuts off. It might come up later on again but wont be a continuous whistle.

                • Damn is it just me or what, I found the TVSR15 much hotter

                  Wonder what kind of rattle it makes with that fairing mounted!
                  BTW When a Pulsar gets a R15 head job, then its a brilliant mod, but when a RTR gets the head job, it becomes an act of desperation... Phew!

                  So thats how R15 can look with a better tail lamp assembly and better sculpted tank

                  PS: I own both, so no use throwing flaimbaits!

                  • Satyen... it looks good. If some how the gaps between the tank & panels can be reduced and the coluors can either match or set in contrast, it is a killer!

                    • @HydBiker: Initially I felt it was coming from the front part, but then after putting it on the paddock stand at home, I understood that last week the chain was too tight, now not just the chain, but also the front sprocket has started making noise. It has become very noisy-after Saturday's ripping I guess. Will take her today&get the chain slightly loosened&both chain&sprocket lubed-it is 500kms. since the last lubing 9 days back.
                      No vibrations yet from screen/fairing though I removed the front no.plate long back!

                      @Riaz: Thanks, I'll check with them. I agree-I only got my 1st service done there, after that went only for buying spares!

                      @bak5062: That is the fuel pump sound. Nothing related to mine. Try shaking the bike when it is on standstill. It will make the same sound! Nothing to worry about, it is pretty healthy!

                      @Srijan: Thanks, I had been to the shop last time with HydBiker. Just wanted to know the price difference.

                        Pls report your mileage after a long ride with lots of ripping

                        Motul degreaser + chain lube costs ~Rs 900.

                          36. I never filled petrol twice in the same day-that too full tanks! Even in the city I get 43.
                          Anyways, the ride was great. No regret about mileage. I have seen my bike giving 48 under sedate cruising at 80-100.

                          What is the price of OKS degreaser + chain lube?

                            I get a scrathy sound from the fork when I jerk the bike with the Front brake fully depressed( to check the play of Front fork). Sounds similar tosome springs rubing against the walls of the fork. Any idea what dis's??
                            I hav done over 10K, is it time to change the fork oil????
