    BTW guys, I completed 500 KMs on my bike, and got the chain lubed today!
    The SVC (Perfect Riders, Lalbagh Road) charged me 100 bucks for it.. they used the Motul chain spray..
    As far as I know, 50 bucks is what they charge in other SVCs, right?
    Anyone from Bangalore got it done elsewhere, for lesser? (Not that the difference of 50 bucks matters too much, but just to know if this SVC is overcharging for the lubing)
    I would recommend "Bangalore wheels",..they are a pro-showroom,in the sense the mechanics there are highly qualified as they service the R1 and MT01,..lso they lube my chain free whenever i take it to them,..also their service is way better than anyone else,..only drawback,..they often exceed time taken for servicing by 1 to 2 hours,...

      Hey, thanks Dude!! Well, can you please name a few Engine Oils that you have used for the first 1500Kms as stated by Moto Man ?

      As he recommends Petroleum Engine Oil for this part of Run-In, could you please suggest some very common brands for the same ?
      Pls do not use synthetic/semi-synthetic oil,..for flushing the oil after the first 50 kms,use yamalube grade SG(or whichever the cheaper one is) and then after you can flush once again at 5000-600 kms,if you are willing to afford you can replace the oil filter during the first flushing.

        Do they do it for free for everyone, or you're 1 of the lucky few customers receiving the benefit
        BTW, can I get my bike serviced in my presence, at Bangalore Wheels?

        The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

When I got near the bike and saw the speedo, I was shocked to see FZ speedometer!! Then I realized it is a modified 2 stroker (may be RX 100/135, didn't identify by the sound) to become an R15. Though the body kit was perfectly fitted (of course with all the rattling pieces), I wonder how would be the performance, as couldn't see whether the owner fit the fan in front. If not, then wonder how the air cooled two stroke engine would behave in a tightly packed R15's body.
          So how did it feel being lost out by a bike that Yamaha launched a zillion years ago

          The R15 chassis is a dream come true for a lot of modders, there is another Rx100 upped to 135 here which is being made for drags which sits on the R15 chassis. however he isnt covering the entire body and just doing some basic body mods!

          If it was, I can give you his contact details, if you want to see that bike up close
          If it was him or any one else, do get us pics and the bike specs man! It would do us only good!

          That certainly puts my mind to rest! Thanks Satyen!
          Ha ha! its cool man! And Wear a lid!!!

          The usual culprits:
          - Your engine mounts, tighten em
          - Your Chain, Clean em and Lube em
          - Your Sprocket, Show it to the SVC

          Go in that order and you should be good! How much KMs have you clocked and what oil are you currently using?

          You do own one don't you?
          Wonder how you enjoy it?You don't sound too happy with the R15s performance.

          Yeah thats exactly the point..
          we want low and mid range due to our constant daily bike using life style..
          R15 sadly is too of a much top end power bike.
          bikes like the R15 are too track oriented and our daily office rides never take us anywhere near a racetrack like road..unless you find one for yourself.
          You answered your own question, I love the R15 for its handling, hate it for its sluggishness. I was expecting more from Yamaha.

              I got my third service done at BW. I didn't want an oil change (as it had been 150 Kms since I last changed it) and I asked them not to lube the chain.

              They lubed the chain by mistake and I wasn't charged for it.

              My final bill - 0

                And God said, "Let there be light" and there was HID Kit. And God saw that the light was good;

                  Well i did purchase my bike there and i do make a point to build a very good rapport with the managers and service techs (part of my job necessity-marketing), so may be ,..just may be i am one of the few lucky guys to get lube jobs for free,..well i have taken my bike 4 times other than services( to buy spares,lubes, accessories and to remove punctures) and every time my bike was cleaned and lubed for free,...and also yes they do allow you to watch the bike being serviced,although the sc is a little cramped and you may not be very comfortable..but for anyone in Bangalore i would recommend to try them once and judge for yourselves ,..do not take my absolute word on this matter.

                    Oh! So I guess the good rapport does it for you.. Cuz it would be a not so wise business idea to lube every bike for free!!! Why kill a plump revenue earning stream you see..
                    Even I was going to buy my bike from Bangalore Wheels, but then I went to Perfect Riders, and they seemed more nicer, & courteous.. So ended up purchasing mine from there..
                    Will get my 1st service done at Perfect Riders itself.. Its quite spacious, and they have a customers' lounge (small but comfy room).. They have glass walls, & you can watch your bike being serviced from there itself..
                    Thanks for recommending Bangalore Wheels.. I will surely try BW, if Perfect do an imperfect job..

This way they can't take us for a ride atleast ).. & As much as I have experienced, all the SVCs (of any two-wheeler company) are cheats.. So we better beware..
                      Do let me know about your experience at Pacer.. Its for your 2nd service I guess..

                      Generally I would've emphasized on staying there and,monitor them servicing my bike but unfortunately I had college that day and as the Yamaha chaps are known for being strict about service dates,I just went ahead with it.
                      Oh yeah I agree,before purchasing the bike they were much better than the others. Their showroom guys are not all that bad,their service guys are the ones who're a bunch of jokers!

                            Nice to know they do a good job at Perfect..
                            kimikid seems to have had an unpleasant experience with them though.. So, I think its got a lot to do with the presence factor..
                            I will make it a point to go on Saturdays for my bike's service. . I'm usually free then.. The 1st half of the day should be sufficient to get the bike ready..
