i dont think it can be 80,000 cause one can get a brand new r15 if he puts another 30,000 must be 18,000 and not too many people would get those kits installed if its really 80,000 and yamaha should be mad to price them for 80,000 just not possible

....with this power, it would give a tough competition to the Ninja also!

Seriously speaking, this is too much for a 150cc and a 120kg bike!

yes agree with you but my mechanic told me its 22 -24 bhp im not too sure of 26 bhp

but if its around 60k and increase the power to 26hp. it'd have more Weightower than Ninja 250R which is being speculated to cost around 2lakhs.

yes....even 24hp seems tough to believe, whereas 26hp is out of the world

I told I heard it from people who witnessed the RideTech championship at Chennai! Plus few people have seen it on CNBC too. I too personally doubt 26bhp, but even 24 is too good! And I personally know that 23bhp is assured at any cost!

Also heard that the kit would be available only at Chennai for the first few months,..the Chennai people must be knowing better about the whole thing!

And no, I'm not participating in it, I'm at Hyd :P

@anthony cruz: What about the new colours for R15 ? Yamaha launched it ?

I dont think they're launched officially yet.. you're talking bout the yellow-white and red-white combos na?

@tibby: Thanks for the pics. I won't worry about it. I got it oiled.

I agree too. Mostly my guess is since R15 was earlier tested with 22bhp, it could be achievable. Maybe they detuned it&now they're planning to give us the original version.
What we all wanna know is for how much?

Maybe.. and about the price, I'm hearing many versions of it. Not understanding which one is true..but one thing is mostly confirmed, launch on 26th of this month! Hope someone from chennai can confirm it here!

I am awaiting input guys
For the attachment pictures go to thread #5159 on page 516, thanks!

Dont think so thay are factory OEM tyres given by Yamaha, Those tyres are the same IRC's that i've fitted in my 200, must be the guy whose taking the delivery must have got that fixed!

Congrats on the ride bro! I can imagine what you must be going through.. I too got mine just over a month back.. Have done 1400 Kms already..
Regarding running-in, it is recommended to not exceed 4k RPM (60Kmph in 6th gear) till the 1st 1k Kms.. After the 1st service at 1k Kms, run the bike till max 5-7k (100Kmph).. After 2k Kms, begin ripping.. But remember, start opening up the bike slowly..
Regarding Orion, I guess no one here from B'lore would recommend them.. Have read enough s*&t about them on this thread..

Though kimikid has answered your questions, just penning down my relies as well:
1. No fitting options available. In case you carry your laptop in the leather bag, I suggest, go for a laptop bag (backpack/rucksack type).
2. The sound is normal. I too had this query a few days after I got my ride. My older bike also had it. Confirmed with SVC mechs, its nothing to worry about. Though the bike seems nicer without the sound, since its not a point to worry about, relax.
3. Yeah. Even I had some issues with the false neutral. My earlier bike had an all down tranmission, so it took me some getting used to, to the R15's 1-down 5-up. Also I think you must be facing this issue when moving into N from 1st. If its happening too frequently, then I suggest you shift to 2nd from 1st, & then to N. It should slot into N perfectly then..
4. During cold starts, my bike starts at 2k, then comes down to 1.5k (within a second or 2).. After the engine has warmed up, the idling is 1.2k..
5. Yeah. There's only 1 way.. A few hundred more Kms on the bike..
Cheers!

Can't be company fitted IMO. The stock front tyre has a groove in the centre, and thats for repelling water. Yamaha won't fit the rear tyres in front, for the simple reason that the bike will not have the front tyre with the central groove then, and that will make riding in wet conditions a nightmare..
So the dealer must have modified the tyres..

No problems bro! You owe me 1..!

@All: If its 24+ Bhp that the kit will offer, I won't be surprised if the entire kit costs upwards of 30-40k.. Remember, its a racing kit.. Not a chotu-motu performance upgrade..

No dude, there was three
R15 in the showroom godown and each of them had those tyres and when i asked them about it, they said that its a new lot R15... also the sticker of R15 which was previously golden one is now coming in white...

If what the dealer says is true, then yamaha is trying out some new things in their R15's!! But why only there????
