I am not saying that it would not go above 136 on a flat road , it will but it takes ages to do that .

@tibby - At least Perfect Motors is honest with you.

Last week when I called Orion to ask for my RC book (since 60 days had crossed & they had told me 45 days) they excuse was that 'their guy' in the RTO office got shifted to someother place. I told them that if someone gets shifted out of an RTO office someone else will get shifted in to fill his place. To which he didnt have an answer ....

Could anyone help me with the mileage / time frame for the second service ? Like I said I had to use the second service coupon for the first service so I cant check it myself.

Probably will have to learn to tuck in fully.

For the guys who are lubing the chain themselves, do all of you make use of temporary centre stands to lube it ? Random thought off the top of my head - would it be possible to for one person to lean the bike on the side stand while someone else quickly lubes the chain ? Definitely not good for the side stand though.

I've seen many mechs doing it here.

This happens man. Maybe you're feeling its amplified because you've been riding a weird feeling bike, and actually gotten used to that. So this feels weird now. But this could mean either of the two a stiff/slack fork. Get that checked.

The 2nd service is at 3000kms or 100 days from date of purchase, whichever comes earlier. I dont know why you gave them the 2nd service sheet! That means you've missed 2nd service and they'll take your 3rd free service coupon the next time you visit them!

Tucking in enough would be shifting the bum till the point the seat starts to curve upwards (for the pillion area of the seat) and crouching low enough so you see through the bubble (or from millimeters over it), with elbows and knees tucked in firmly. Notice of you have flimsy sleeves or bell bottom pants or maybe a bag on your back, its going to catch wind and slow you down.

Most people I know with an R15 lube the chain at the SVC. Some of my friends do tilt it on the sidestand but I'd not recommend it. Tell you what, get an RX100 stand from any spare parts shop, for not more than 230 bucks. Its a straight fit.

Service centre guys screwed up my ride.

JM motors noida , NCR screwed up my bike

here guys have a look what these guys did to my baby:

Picasa Web Albums - anu - Drop Box

plz guide me what should i do now.
if u faced similar issues with this particular dealer or any other...lets make a petition and send it to Yamaha.

Did you have an accident/slide etc?

If not, then I am assuming that you gave the bike to them for servicing and got it back in this condition. And, if you're sure that these dents/scratches/marks were not there before you gave the bike to them, then I seriously can't understand how you can take delivery.

Its written all over that your parts have been swapped from another one, which probably met an accident or something. Go to the dealer, and do some hard talking.

If they somehow don't comply, which should not happen, report the entire matter with before/after pics if you can to ao-delhi. The email is given on the last page of your manual. You will get a response. Dealerships are getting away with a lot of trash, and these things should not be let go, if you care even a little for your motorcycle.

Why was your lock changed?

To add to what Pudix just posted >>

You must also get Yamaha India officials involved in this case. You can easily get Regional Sales Manager or Area Sales Managers (of Yamaha) number from the showroom itself (take it politely before you fight with them). You can also talk to MG or Sunny, they might know senior officials in Yamaha who can help.

It looks to be a genuine case of cheating by the service centre.. according to you post.

So don't let it go, screw the service center up.!

They probably dropped ur bike while taking it up or down the ramp and clearly have stolen most of ur parts. Dont leave them alone. Take it till Sanjay Tripathi if needed!

Since you got the forks re-done and re-assembled, give it some time to settle down and let things fall back into place..it'll take some time for that. After this settling down period, you'll notice the fork not at the handle-bar go loose and the fork wobble due to the additionally gained clearance because of the seated parts. You then gotta go back to the SS and get it re-tightened. And also, check if your fork nut is too tight, if it is.. give it a few days and see if it loosens up by itself upon usage, if it doesn't...go back to the SS and report the tight handle problem to them.

Basically, you shouldn't worry as long as you don't have alignment problems and the bike doesn't lean to one side or if your handle isn't twisted to one side.

@neil.jericho: These guys at the showrooms are sooooo nice to you before you actually book the bike. & once you make the payment, thats it! They treat you like you've booked a Luna! They don't care that much. Anyways, who buys the R15 for special treatment by the showrooms! As long as they don't ill-treat you, its cool!
Like you said, I prefer tyem being honest, than make us run to them or call them several times! At Orion, they seem to be very dishonest! Try talking to a senior person at Orion whenever you go that side of town, if they fail their next deadline for your RC Book.

Regarding the service intervals, here you go:
1st Free Service: 1000 KM or 30 days (from date of purchase), whichever is earlier
2nd Free Service: 3000 KM or 70 days (from previous service), whichever is earlier
3rd Free Service: 6000 KM or 70 days (from previous service), whichever is earlier
4th Free Service: 9000 KM or 70 days (from previous service), whichever is earlier
5th Free Service: 12000 KM or 70 days (from previous service), whichever is earlier
6th Free Service: 15000 KM or 70 days (from previous service), whichever is earlier
Paid Services (after 6th free service):
7th Service (Paid): 18000 KM or 70 days (from previous service), whichever is earlier
8th Service (Paid): 21000 KM or 70 days (from previous service), whichever is earlier
and so on..

BTW, now that you've already given your 2nd service coupon (during 1st service), they will prolly ask for your 3rd service coupon now (for 2nd service) & so on for all the free services!
So, I suggest you get your 2nd service done as a paid service. Will cost you 150 bucks for the service (per my knowledge). But you can atleast make use of the coupons at the right service intervals (you'll anyway be paying for the 6th & final service cuz you would have given your 6th service coupon in the 5th service itself). So why not pay for the 2nd service itself (who knows they might increase the servicing charges 1 year down the line, and you might save a few bucks by paying for the 2nd service now )
The Owner's manual says that getting the scheduled services done at the correct intervals only will entitle you to the warranty, so I suggest you make use of the right coupons at the right time!
What say guys?

Right, there is another option of paying Rs.100 as Paid service charges&then getting back to the schedule as mentioned in the manual.

Oh! I thought its 150 bucks, so mentioned that figure (vaguely remember having read it somewhere on this thread)! Anyways, if I were neil.jericho, I would have saved 50 bucks! & those savings translate to 35-40 KMs of riding on the beauty, thats the R15!

Thanks guys , i have already mailed ao-delhi and Mr sanjay tripathi regarding this matter, he has forwarded my mail to head Office. I have a lot of witnesses including the Yamaha Pro guys to back my claim that my bike was in mint condition before these jokers changed my parts.

I have had a skid in the month of feb and claimed insurance for it which came to Rs 2200 which shows that not much damage was there , my left side panel, RVM,rear left panel and left indicator was changed on the 3 march 2009 and my bike was good as new, i even went to Yamaha Ridetech challenge with my bike and it was in mint condition.I had to leave for bangalore for my sister's engagement so i left my bike at my friends apartment , btw he also owns a black R15 and is a good friend so him misuing my bike is out of the question. so after i came back from bangalore earlier this month he told me that the key is broken and so i asked him to get the lockset changed as otherwise i would have had to get a local one.Yamaha pro was out of stock with the lockset so i gave it at JM motors and there is where my badluck started.

Hey guys.. got a small prob here..

My friend Umesh from Mumbai owns an R15 just like me. Yesterday Umesh and I had gone for a small ride near by and while coming back we stopped at a stall near our place for some food and then went back home.

Next day my friend realized that he dropped his wallet somewhere. Money wasn't a big deal as he wasn't carrying much money but he had his DL and R15's RC book - the Smart card. He was worried bout that. He's lost both the things.

DL is not a big prob as we know the procedure to get a duplicate DL. But the Smart card can be an issue. Any idea how much would it cost to get the new one again?

We talked to an agent from RTO and he said he'll take care of the procedure at RTO but it would cost around 1200 bucks. We just have to sign on the Form no28/26 and rest will be taken care of.

Is the amount ok ?

And bout the old card..can there b any prob if that old lost card falls into some smart A$$'s hands? I dont think one can do much with it.. but still doubtful. What do u say guys?

I have got my forks adjusted 2 times. The first time the forks were loose for sure. But after 2nd the bike is much fine as this time I was there to get things done.

Actually, the first time the handle was also over tight, then SS guy loosened and it became extra loose (it was frustrating). Finally, now its almost like the stock one. Also the front brakes are very tight now, feels like new ones. I tried out Sarvajit's bike yesterday and I could see the same behavior as mine. Only difference being that my bike pulls more, now probably its coz my front brakes are very tight for now. I guess everything is fine. Its just my mind. I'll get used to it. To be on the safer side, I'll get my forks tightened in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the inputs guys.
