    What about the Tank Pad? Well I am much worried about scratch/unknown damage of R15 bike. Apart from Yamaha Accessory, should I look beyond for that.
    yes, that can be considered for sure..the Yamaha stuff cost 700Rs or so(not sure). Apart from the yamaha collection you can also look for cheaper options, since your only looking to protect the the tank only from scratches. But take a look at both the things before buying
    Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

            @Karthik,
            Last year, I bought the tires from MRF showroom here in Chennai. At that time, that was the only showroom which had R15 tire. Now it mite be a different story..
            Anyways the showroom name was something like MIS tyres. The number is 044-24995442.
            All the best

              in fact many have faced the same situation. even me
              do one thing search as much as you can about r15
              gather some information read threads, reviews and FAQ on r15
              this will help you pass the time and by the time you bike will come
              you will be having complete knowledge of your GIRLFRIEND(R15)
              Nice idea, but I have done exactly this for the past half-year almost.

              No problem, I will start reading this ownership thread from the beginning again. (will be my 3rd time)

              I knew I was gonna get this bike when I started thinking about it months ago. Now its like 'so close, yet so far'. Thanks to xbhp for keeping my dream alive and teaching me to be patient.

                  So the tires are so badly out of stock, eh? I had bought R15 front tire for my RTR from here: raja tires loc: Chennai, Tamil Nadu - Google Maps

                  I need new tires for my bike. Will be checking out this place this weekend and update the status.

                        This bike owns a record of having maximum pages in its ownership thread..on many websites!
                        This shows the "POPULARITY" of this bike and how much it is talked about!!
                        Infact this machine is one of the most popular topic on xBHP.
                        So keep reading this thread n the owners manual and u wont even need a mechanic to fix your minor problems!..

                          • Shanz: The bike displayed in the Auto Expo 2008 was just the same way it is being sold now, albeit with all the accessories on it.
                            The only thing on that bike which was not introduced in the accessories was a tyre hugger.
                            I would like to know&see pics of how you retrofitted the FZ's tyre hugger onto your bike.
                            Does the bike not look funny with 2 tyre huggers? Wouldn't one have been enough?

                            • Hey, does anyone know which brake oil is used in the bike? Which brand and what price? Because I dont want to settle for anything different.

                              And if possible the price of the front steering ball racer (top one).
                              You get the point?? :D

                                I had already addmitted the mistake in the previous post..
                                i had seen the global auto meet on the Tv only,n mistaken the R125 in Red as the R15..

                                Again i had mentioned in the earlier post that the mod's would be on my behalf..once i get my bike and appropriate amount to buy the required items!
                                The fitting does include welding work..
                                4 custome made screw leaflets[somwhat like we find on bajaj swingarms] would be fixed on the swingarm on each side..

                                Actually as u hav seen The fz-s type hugger cover the monoshock area..and is less insight whearas the bajaj hugger solely covers the rear tyre area lying sowhat below the tail light...
                                So both the huggers will give a better look for me and will attract lesser eyes on the Puny rear!
