        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?
        Its Rs.750, not Rs.650 as mentioned by hydbiker. I bought 'em a 10 days ago.

          When I bought it in August it was Rs 325 per can = Rs 650. I have bought another lube can in Feb for Rs 325. Did the prices go up? I remember reading MRP Rs 370 on a new can too!!! same as the one I bought in August.

            Yes, the prices have shot up... Its Rs. 390 per can! Rs(390+390)=Rs.780. I got it for Rs.30 less(discount, you see)!

Panache said they will take 4 days (including processing the finance paperwork), not sure about Perfect Riders.

                Blue R15 it is for me
                Thanks mate..... Its the blue one for me too! Heard they were taking longer for the blue ones for some weird reason,that's why the doubt!!! So you got your bike? Hope you're having a blast!!

                  Well, its too early to post my view. Lubed the chain today and she feels very smooth! Btw, hydbiker has been using it since long and he is pretty much satisfied. He says the lube last longer than motul. And, OKS is recommended for Busa(mentioned in its manual)!

                  • But the SC guys here are using Motul. Is it ok to mix&use both? If yes, I will go for OKS straightaway!

                    Here are pics of the mainstand which I got fitted yesterday.

                      Nice!

                      Before buying R15 I had been reading reviews about the bike and many websites said that it had a stand alarm. I believe it was fake

                          Even in our Use manual, I remember reading something about a engine no start circuit if side stand is lowered...

                            Is that a R15 stand or some jugaad by SC guys. Also how is the clearance and price?

                              @Archi: Confirmed that it is the R15 stand&please check my previous posts for the price details. No reduction in ground clearance. I will post pics of the stand in resting position by tomorrow.

                              • Mysore to Pune

                                I am planning to make a trip from Mysore to Pune during this weekend (21st April,2009) with my R15. I have certain questions. It would be of great help if somebody can shed some light on them.

                                a> Road condition (Saw that its mostly through NH4)
                                b> Any ghat section in between?
                                c> Expected hour of drive (My estimate 14Hrs)
                                d> How safe is it during night with the stock headlight?
                                e> Do I need to carry any spare like clutch cable, headlight etc.

                                Awaiting for the responses.
