Sounds good! I'll grab one asap.

I doubt it's a fork bend. Try keeping that "t" bar (it's called as Yoke I guess) straight and see which side the wheel seems to be on. Get the fork allignment checked..I recently had a fall and my bike's fork too suffered mis-allignment.

Dude, I too have been facing vibes on my bike since many days..since months as a matter of fact! It vibes so much that you can actually feel the vibes on the handle and see the RVMs also vibe when the bike's idling. Do let me know if you happen to find any solution

Facing the same problem too..I got my chain cleaned and lubed properly with Motul, and the chain was still making noise. Let me know if you find any solution

What I'm guessing is damaged O-rings due to the application of grease at front sprokets by our SS guys. O-ring chains should strictly be kept away from Grease and petroleum products like engine oil,etc. But our SS guys don't do it for R15..I don't even understand what the need for grease at front sprocket is.(If you look at brand new R15s, they won't have any grease on the chain..but our bikes do. This is because the grease applied by SS guys on the front sprocket gets stuck on the entire chain thus changing the chain's color to black. But the brand new R15 chains look absolutely silverish white.)

I might be there this saturday too..depends on if i'm giving my car for denting or not! Have got a few works to be done on my bike.

Yes.
BullShit. Nothing as such.

Which fairing do you mean? Tell us exactly.
And Guys, you can ask me anything about the prices of parts for R15..I can't tell you how, but I can tell you the prices of anything, be it cosmetics or engine parts!

The strips are almost the same..but the metal tools that come in the kit vary in size from kit to kit

The plastic skeleton that holds the twin headlights....It costs around 600/-..But I want to know the exact cost...

BTW...For R15 owners...Do you guys feel loss of power when using any kind of petrol???

While on Speed 97...I found that engine becomes lot smoother, but its top end is lost and feels like bike is dying to cross 130kmph...

Even satish has observed this on my bike...But on normal petrol its as usuall good at topend..but engine becomes bit rough (especailly when engine is not much hot).

its been long since i got my bikes chain lubed as it was out of stock at the service station. the chain was making some noise and the clutch was also tight and there was some noise from the headlight visor. called the ss number of times but no sign of chain lube . today they said that the lube is available and went to get the chain lubed .went there and saw that i had missed my third free service datevise but the distance covered was less .but they said that ur third service will not be done .so got my bikes fourth free service.
changed the engine oil from mineral to semi synthetic yamahalube. chain lubed and air filter cleaned. the bike got smoother after the service the clutch was lighter but the noise from the visor persisted.
here's the fun part .the service centre had a MT01 standing .it was bought by the owner of the agency and will be used as a display piece when it will not be used by the owner.the bike is humoungous and heavy.it is beautiful and drooool .sat on it and felt the handles. one thing i realised i will never go for this bike however i may like it .
first it is out of my reach moneywise.
i will have to add 10 kg to my weight and that to all muscle ten kg.
\
this bike is so in your face and brazen .well what can i say it was just stand and admire .

Guys,

My RVMs vibrate slightly when the bike is idle. And, I have nticed that they become somewhat hazy at higher speeds. Is it something unusual? If yes, please tell me how to fix it...Is the haziness caused, is due to vibes?

I think the reason is overtightening the chain. It leads to excessive friction&hence the chik-chik noise. My bike's chain was pretty loose before the 4th Service&it never made any noise then.
The solution would be to loosen it, then again tighten it just a bit, followed by clean&lube. Not able to find the time to go there though!
Anyways new bikes chains are silverish white in color because they use Yamalube powdery dry type spray, which is really expensive. Someone who bought it has posted about this here too.

Take an allen key&tighten the bolts on the RVM. There are 3 totally, one is on the under side.

The front cowl costs less than Rs 300.

Well, for the first time I had to use Power petrol on my bike as I ran out of fuel searching for a fuel station (kick me for arrogantly not filling pertol at a COCO pump as there was abt a 10 bike queue) on my way to Mumbai. I had no options. But a few KMs after filling (the tank hardly had 1/2 liter petrol by then) the bike became smoother.

Bike seems to run a lot smoother on a long drive after the initial few hundreds of KMs but this time it was noticeably smoother. I have used Speed at similar situations earlier but didn't notice any difference then.

hey guys
Im getting these prices for the spares.

headlight cowl: 400
1 side panel (r15 written on it) : 575
1 rvm: 252
rear panel: 400
inner panel(the one with meshing): 300
front radiator covering: 130

RVM cost has gone up-it used to be only 150 earlier!

yeah, even I questioned the guy about it, he said its because of the accidents that the prices have shot up.

Thats bad, coz thats probably one of the most common parts to replace after a crash!

it is good business logic. most cosmetic part prices have gone up!

The most outrageous part price is the footpeg slider-for Rs.270, while the whole footpeg itself costs only Rs.65!
Whats worse is: You won't get a new slider with the footpeg-you need to buy it separately!

I got LHS RVM for Rs. 150/- last Sunday. Guess I was lucky.
You scratched your the footpeg on the road while cornering

Has anyone from Chennai got the R15 centre stand? If so from where and for how much? I need one very badly!!
