@horn

hey all...i think the horn is quite good...no need to change i have checked with one of the service guys and he said they have given a small horn to reduce load on battery as we dont have a kickstart on R15...sounded quite convincing to me please correct me if i sunded wrong as im a naive driver has been only 45 days since i have my first bike

so should i go for it??

with so many benefits i think you should. but one big problem is that if you ride out of town you will never find nitrogen there otherwise for city use its totally ok.you get compressed air in every petrol bunk but not nitrogen this is one major drawback

**Rahulrulez** · 07-12-2009, 11:22 AM

some of my unanswered questions, i bet I'll get answers from here only..
1. I can't find any place to stick number plate or Number radium.. Where should I, is sticking on visor legal??
2. I wanna get rid of Stock horn and go with smooth but sexy horn, dont want that double horns or loud horns.. but stock horn makes my bike scooty

3. Which lube should I use in rainy season, that dumb YSC told me to use something called number 90 lubricant instead of Yamalube or Motul..
4. I can't find Sport Stand for my bike chain lubricating, where can I get it in Pune or Mumbai?

Please answer these questions, hands on to you

Thanks,

A new problem is occuring in my bike...

whenever i turn on the led position lights, only left one use to glow

, bt when i turn the switch completely on for headlights too, then only the right LPL (led position light) glows otherwise not..

what could be the problem..??

**svjhonda** · 07-12-2009, 08:07 PM

@VarunR15- Open the connection for the pilot lamp. Maybe its a loose connector.

And wow, that's a great news now! I too had the same difficulty of compromising between a high beam/low beam. That's why went this R1 like setup of 2 projectors on each side. Did you mean sliding "cut-offs" when you said shades?? If yes, where do you plan to source those projectors from? And what's the cost you're expecting

Arre, sirjee, even I was kidding. I cant even get basic projectors right, how on earth will I design one with sliding cut-offs....?

Anyways, firstly I'll have to source projectors, which is turning out to be real tough.... And I'm probably getting a broken headlamp assembly soon..... But any pointers? The difference in angles between high and low beam?

Hi all to the members, Does anyone know that the new color and graphics are available in the showroom? If yes, how does it look... i want to see the black color.. Have the fools (yamaha) increased its price.. undermining the 70K pulsar 220. Let's see who will first post the pictures here... let me know the price details too. thanks... happy riding

**GP_freak** · 07-12-2009, 09:47 PM

Reg oil

Has any one used valvoline 20W50 semi synthetic in R15 ? ( i know the 20W50 is not the recomended range). I have a couple of cans with me and if it ok, then can proceed with an oil change with Vavoline tomorrow. I also have a castrol fully synthetic with me, at 6K, i dont find a need for fully synthetic...

**insanebiker** · 07-12-2009, 09:52 PM

^ Valvoline Premium 4T is 20W50.

Secondly, Apar has used Motul 300V 15W50 in his '15 i guess. Ask him about that.

**varun_r15** · 07-12-2009, 10:13 PM

@svJ
i tried that too but unfortunately the right LPL is not glowing now

Ya..even i'm eagerly waiting to get some pics of the new colours..
I had to cancel an already booked old red colour because of no stock..i'm looking forward to get new colour as soon as the booking starts..
I think the company is waiting to clear all old models before releasing new ones..that's no official news yet..
