@TBB here are answers to some of your questions.

1] YAMALUBE which we get in the showroom is Mineral
2] castrol is suitable for our R15
4] Synthetics are always preferred over Mineral but Mineral is recommended in the running-in Period.

You can switch to Castrol Power RS R4 4T and another option is Motul 300V which is equally good.

Thanks a lot Dude you cleared all my doubts.

@PulsarFlame
Dude get it checked at a service centre without Delay, Did u fill leaded petrol by any chance because the manual strictly says unleaded petrol.
By the way your bike looks cool on that Paddock Stand, how do u get it on that stand....is it difficult? any chance of someone tampering it and the bike falling of it....i mean is there a lock.....just asking because i m planning to get one but Kids in my locality have a really bad habit of sitting on my bike for fun

It is not difficult at all. It can be done without anyone else's help as well. I'd recommend that you get one if your bike is kept in secured quarters, coz
a) Though it keeps the bike upright and can allow a careful rider to sit on the bike, pushing and shoving may drive the bike off the stand.
b) It is easy to remove and thieves will find it an easy target.

Hi! I had a similar experiance as well, just differing in some details. Yesterday, I was coming out of e-square. After clearing my parking dues. I accelerated a bit harder than usual & my front wheel stayed put. So, my bike rotated around the front-wheel (of course sideways). I was able to avoid any damage to my bike or me, but I am seriously shaken after what happened.

However strange it may seem... That's precisely what happened.

Have you gotten any front fork locks installed on your bike, that may be the culprit if you have..

Nope! I haven't even thought of it. (The only mod that I've done yet is to remove that pathetic looking saree-guard

but that is neither here not there)

It might sound weird to you guys but it is possible. It happened to me the day I had got my bike. Just accelerate hard on a slippery surface(Tiles) and you will perform a burnout without using front brake.

LOL. In the shock of the incident, I didn't realize it at all. & sure it might be more fun if bike were first to notify the rider, that she is happy & wants to perform a wheelspin. In that case, we would be glad to take snaps as well.

To the Q & Answers... This is my second bike. I tried wheely on my Freedom Topper, but no other stunts.

Thanks for the tip, but I am in no mood to do it till the bike gets atleast an year old.

sorry for that. it's been some kind of habbit to write on that language. any ways here is a news. fresh and jus happened today.

Today the Yamaha Delar's organised a programme for all the R15 Owners frm KTM city. event was quite good enough as if it was happened for the first time for every one. it was a event ride to Nagarkot*a view point* exact 35km frm Ktm, which they made us roam into the city for their publicity. exceot that there was a small programme over the destination. Ambulance was reserved, traffic bike was escorting the whole rally, a van with mechanics, which made meh quite impress with the event. although the programme was a huge success for the compani.

so R15 in nepal its going to be a hit i gues now on!! hahahaha!!
thank you
