Yeah dude i know it was becoz my front wheel was slightly turned and besides the floor was slippery as it was marble, after me an Enticer owner also skidded .....man if this was US or UK people would have sued the Showroom for hazardous construction, but guess people in India can get away with all this easily. Really sorry to hear that you got a dislocated elbow, hope you are well now.....i am not going back to that showroom again

Dude can u please not use the SMS chat lingo here, i believe your post would definitely be edited by a Mod .....we can hardly make out what you are trying to say, Kindly use pure english nexttime for our sake.

Oooops

Man...Jatti surely has some business sense..a duplicate R15 for the price of an original R15...fck..where did they keep their brains..shame!!
R15 owners can lodge a PIL

i think yamaha can file a patent violation case against the dealer

If anyone can give me the address of this Dealer , i am seriously thinking of sending these pics to Yamaha Motors India , so that corrupt practises like these stop.Just think if some Yamaha Dealer mounted a P220 fairing onto it's Gladiator and sold it as limited edition what would bajaj do, Bang! sue the chap's ass to hell......bajju's are too quick at suing others now its their time to get sued , they freakin sued Royal Enfield for Twin spark and claimed it to be a patent voilation, if that was a patent voilation .....what the hell is this.....and i am amazed by the guts of this fool selling a cheap knockout copy of our R15 for 1 lac 08 thousand.....is the guy some kinda nut or what? Please fellow owners let's take this seriously and report it to Yamaha , because as a true yamaha fan i am hurt and enraged by this idotic gesture of Bajju's.

Hey what was the condition of the road and the make of it. Was it tar or concrete. Was there any amount of sand or dust on the road or was the road a lil wet by any chance or was it completely dry...???

i think it is a metal surface................even in chennai, ambal motors has such a place.....from where they bring down the serviced bikes.......its a slide from 1st floor to ground .....from where they take n bring back the bikes which are for service,they are made up of metal n they are oily too.......

it was tarmac slightly broken with little bit of gravel

give me the rights of a city inspector and i will throw the orion guys out of the city and make them ride on a donkey, they have not only screwed my second R15 but they have also pissed me a lot.

as far as i can recall , u were given a fresh piece as the initial registered 1 was defective right?
what happened with the second 1?

^^ second r15??

oops....sorry misunderstood

hmm this is the story i would like to hear
BTW i am not sure I am not sure why orion sucks but my bike was screwed up by perfect rider, and Orion solved the problem. ofcourse i had to complain to Yamaha about this incident.

Was that a straight road or a turn...???

Friends and fellow R15 owners , this is regarding the engine oil for our R15. Till now most of us if not all have been using YAMALUBE 4-stroke motor oil(20W40 type SG) but i read it on Castol's motorcycling site that CASTROL POWER RS R4 5W -40 is good for Sports bikes, wanted to know how good it will be for our R15.

my questions are as follows:
1) Is YAMALUBE synthetic or mineral ?
2) Is castrol suitable for our R15 ?
3)Difference between Synthetic and Mineral oil and which is better and why?
4)Which one ensures good engine performance and long engine life?
