@ HydBiker

Thanks, I did the same and find the bike to be running heavier since the time lubed the front spoket. I am taking it to the SS today to get it checked.

We lube the front sprocket every time the chain is lubed and not doing so results in chain noise. The bike shouldn't run heavier even if the chain is heavily lubed...pls get it checked.

They always say they don't have stock of anything, but if you go there they have everything. Suggest you go there, or else ask someone else to personally enquire (Vibhanshu stays close to Venkatesha, maybe you could ask him).

I checked yaar, its not touching the silencer anywhere. I think the plate present in the centre of the stand is hitting the shocker mounts. Have to check with a torchlight and lots of patience!!

Please do that. I have also not been able to pinpoint the exact place where it touches. I'll try it sometime soon though. I'll put the bike on the racing stand so it is upright, then pull&release the mainstand with my hand to check where it is touching. The only problem is I can do it only in the evening&it is too dark to see anything then. Else I will definitely do it this weekend.

Damn, we can complain ths to yamaha. TVS sends reminder sms or call services

Just make sure you get it for servicing before the date they have specified (whatever be the number of kms covered) ie 30 days , 100 days etc Defaulting by a couple of days is fine is what they said but again I doubt it. No point wasting a service.

BTW Orion charged me Rs 720 odd bucks for the 1st service. Isnt that a bit too much ? Engine oil - 220 rs , lubing 73 rs & filter 430 bucks. Isnt this the same filter that Hydbiker said was 350 & Surbhit said was 250 bucks ?
P.S - they asked whether to change the oil to normal or synth, I said keep the normal oil. No explanation given on what was 'normal oil'

Thats correct, the oil filter for R15 is Rs 430/-. Normal oil means Mineral Oil. But I do not think Yamalube Mineral is for Rs 220. In Hyderabad its Rs.180 i think

AFAIK the SL grade mineral oil is for 220 bucks here too

**HydBiker** · 04-28-2009, 04:01 PM

okay, time to clear some clouds...

Yamalube API SJ is Rs 182
Yamalube API SL is Rs 220
R15 Oil Filter is Rs 430
R15 Air Filter is Rs 237

if any one has any more confusions, please ask here...

**neil.jericho** · 04-28-2009, 04:13 PM

Thanks for clearing it up guys. Had a feeling that the misunderstanding was due to the whole air - oil filter thing.

@Hydbiker - how much is it for a can of chain lubricant, the impending monsoons will take its toll on the chain for sure.

Anyways, has anyone tried Castrol Power 1 Racing for their R15?

OKS lube + Degreaser was available for Rs 750. Gotta check if they went up... my degreaser got emptied yesterday.

Motul set was costing about Rs 900+

Wurth lube itself is Rs 710.

Yamalube is Rs 1400

Don't get ready to waste (

) your money like that so soon... wait for some more time for the synthetics and be ready to flush it out at every service to keep your warranty...

**Sarvajit** · 04-28-2009, 04:33 PM

@neil.jericho: Don't worry, I was also charged the same amount for my 1st Service. Oil filter will not need a change until 10K kms. Subsequent services will cost you less. Normal oil is the Rs.220 mineral oil mentioned by HydBiker. You can try semi-synth Yamalube for Rs.425. I have tried it&have also posted some pics of the can in the same thread.

**souvikb83** · 04-28-2009, 04:51 PM

nowadays (after 10000kms) a strange thing is happening...when i am pushing the throttle there is a tac tac sound coming somewhere from the front..it seems from the fork...can anyone help me on this????the noise is something annoying me...pls help

**neil.jericho** · 04-28-2009, 04:55 PM

Thanks Sarvajit & Hydbiker. Will stick to the company recommends for a bit longer.

Anyways now that the 1st servicing is done, Im taking it upto 7k rpm everyday. Wow the bike is deceptively quick, the engine is more audible & ocmbined with the handling it is a real treat. VFM buy for sure. Waiting patiently to complete 3k after which Ill open it out beyond 7k.

I have tried Castrol Power 1 Racing . It is the best oil which I have used on my bike yet (haven't tried Petronas Sprinta 5000T yet). It is much better than the semi synthetic oil provided by Yamaha. The only downside is that it does not last that long(2.5-3k Kms)as compared to other synthetic oils.
