If you have proper grip from the palms, it will help by putting less pressure on the wrists too. I still feel slight discomfort in the palms at slow moving traffic signals etc.but unconsciously the body weight shifts behind&it goes away.
Only pain I got riding this bike for long distances was in my left ankle once after a 550kms.ride, that too coz I was wearing riding boots&kept my left foot bent under the gear lever!
Take it easy, your body will get used to it soon. Ride on!

Will do just that, thanks.

Goin for another big spin

CONGRATULATIONS MAN and welcome to the R15 club

@TnT: Welcome to the club! Glad to know you're enjoying every moment of the bike..

Reg the wrist-pain, its not something uncommon for new R15 riders. Give it a few days, & it will disappear.. I'm not sure if wearing riding gloves can help reduce the pain, but you can give it a try.. Else, wait for a couple of weeks of riding the R15, & the wrist-pain will be history..

Cheers to your new acquisition, & Ride Safe!

Congrats mate!
Its ur day today..
Njoy riding!

Wrist pain would go in a while keep urself pulled back and dont weight ur palms..
And
Upload the Pic's please..

[QUOTE=Reuterian;288870]Thanks guys...

I'll follow your advice.

@TnT: Congrats on the R15 & enjoy the eye-balling everywhere you go :P
As for the wrist pain try this. Put your weight on ur hips and legs rather than the arms. Try bringing your hands as close as possible to your body while riding and make sure there is a slight bend rather than stretching your arms straight while riding. Get this posture right and there will be no pain.

@TnT
congrats bro on ur new Taxi R15
u will get used to d bike within a few days n ur wrist pain will vanish..
i too had d similar problem wen i had got the bike but all was good in a few days..

Some pics -

(sorry for bad quality, pix taken from my bro's cellphone camera)

not in a good shape

finally i have brought my lazy ass here at this thread...oohhyeaaa(that is supposed to be read as a rockstar was shouting)

this time summer has been very bad here in the holy city-Amritsar and its dusty condition has not helped

although the roads are great here but that 45-50 degrees of temp was burning my head inside the helmet

so...i abandoned my R15(very very sorry)for 3 months(just usin sumtimes in b/w) and was usin my car for daily commute

now want to start riding it again(cause of all the hype built by the souped up R15 roaming all around...envy them) but she(her name is Pamela btw) has been miserable...i even posted this on help forum sometime back but instead of doing anything just started to use my car again

List of some glitches:
1.rough
2.resisting to go up the revs
3.lost the right RVM(i parked it in the underground parking of the mall where my gym is and when i came back she lying was on the floor you sick bastards)
4.engine feels so much stressed
5.after achieving some certain speeds there is some shrilling noise from the engine.
6.after leaving her in the sun for say an hour she doesn't start
for a start now i m going to give her for a service ASAP and get all the possible work done

maybe i should learn to service her myself...someone here ever did that??

hey btw which engine oil do u guys use cause as i remember at my last service the guy asked me about it. he gave me option b/w one which was Rs.175 and other for Rs.475 or something like that.

PS-any mod who reads this,this is not a help post just confessing stuff in front of other owners.
PPS-Guys don't hate me I LOVE PAMELA

My RTR wont pain your hand and i dont have any problems with R15 esp with the TAXI R15.
Head over this weekend to mana area...

Man looking at he pic pulls me towards R15

Took a quotation for R15 today folks at the SVC are clueless when they will be able to deliver a yellow R15. he says its gonna be a bigggg waiting time and rest of the colours can be delivered in 2 days.

He was saying that R15 production is going to be stopped. Reason -- New better model in 2010

Wonder how do these guys easliy beat PR's of a MNC

Its 1,10,380 OTR

Can u shade some light on the 'NEW MODEL OF R15' please,as i have already booked one and i don't want to have any regrets later!

There is nothing to shed light over man! Just stupid reasons from showroom guys to make/break a sale.

But why would they do this as saying all these can affect their sales?
I have also heard this rumour in some other web-sites including 'motorbeam'!

Even i think the same...!
