          Rohan... have no apprehensions.... you can be doing abt 120 kmph on a state highway (no divider and 2 lane) and a Volvo (fastest common things on our roads) passes u by from the opposite direction at a similar or higher speed but the bike just doesn't move from its line.

          I face this in almost every ride... initially I was slowing down to 90 or 80 kmph when I find a Volvo coming but now a days I just don't bother.

              Same thoughts here bro! Its finish was comparable to that of a local aftermarket clip on...

              • HELP: Yamaha R15's break and gear paddel adjustment

                Hello frends,
                I own an R15 which is a few days old.
                in some time my first service will b due.
                The help i want is that i want to know is the break and gear paddle of the bike adjustable?
                My height is around 5ft 9 inches. And i find those paddles set a bit too high. Therefore it becomes very difficult to upshift as well downshift the gears. While upshifting i literally have to stretch the ankle to much upwards and while downshifting as the paddles are placed high, i have to literally lift my foot up the footrest to get it out from below the paddle and then downshift the gears.

                Same with the break paddle. As it's placed at higher level than the footrest i have to keep my foot either outside the break paddle or constantly in raised position, which leads into fatigue and the foot pains.

                The help i want is, can anyone tell me whether those paddles are adjustable or not? That is can they be repositioned a bit lower? Lower than that of the footrest's height? If they are adjustable then i can get them adjusted in the first free service. If not then i'll have to get used to that riding style.

                Please help guys.

                          • Ketan, I got both my gear & brake levers adjusted... er, lowered. Though the brake lever is still a pain, there's not much to play around with it... the position now is better than what it was initially.
