  • ^^^ check the level... you would need a topup. if the coolant is low the engine heats up faster and that effects the engine oil and then you know what it leads to in the long run!

        thank god the new model does not have the horn mounted on the radiator.. i wonder why could not they think about it earlier... no idea about the oils.. i guess some veteran may ponder some lights on it.

        • Radiator will not leak unless it has been damaged by some object hitting it in case of a collision, or sometimes aftermarket horns which are wrongly mounted can also cause this.
          If you don't have these, no need to worry about coolant leakages.

                      it is not advisable to get it repaired, better get a new one.

                      • Does anyone know how much the fairing costs?.... someone hit my bike in the parking and since it was standing besides the wall the fairing cracked - including the fibre around the front part of the head light. I need the price inorder to decide whether to claim insurance or get it done without claim.
                        Its black in color (the old one)so Im also concerned about the matt finish part - can i get the same one that had R15 in gold type colors ?
                        Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                            buddy even i have forgot how to check mileage on my R15 since it hurts a lot sometime(as i just get a li'll above 33Kmpl)

                            well @ all, this might sound a bit O.T. but since our R15 owes some of its DNA to Yamaha Vixion (Indonesia), so would like to share some treat for the eyes and May Be If the Yamaha PPL are listening , then they know what body kit should look like if they come up with one. And HELL YEAH!! at least I would love to have one
