The rusting that you see is quite normal.As for the screeching that might be due to dust present on the pads.There are a number of brake pad cleaners(spray) available.

Congrats on your new hottie... finally the new graphics R15 is here in Nepal too.. I hope i get it in few days time...
will post pics soon...

If its first service, there isn't much to do. The bike's new and will just need an oil change, oil filter change and if you feel the need an airfilter cleaning. You can also tighten all the fairing nuts and screws, lube the side stand and give the bike a good wash.

I dont know if its ok to post this here, but I have a DIY thread running on Orkut. Its in an R15 community. Digislayer is a part of it. If mods or anybody wants, we can start another thread and I'll re-post everything on xbhp too.

When you wash the bike, do you clean the discs? If not, you should. Use a little bit of Zorrik spray on a rag, clean the discs with that, then wash it off with water. That should do away the rust.

As for brake pads, even my rear pads squeak all the time. Its just because of dust. I clean them, they go noiseless for 1 week, and the squeaking starts once again....

Any nut, screw or bolt uses the same rule. In its holder clockwise is tightening it, anti clockwise is loosening it. You cant open the drain bolt from the right side of the bike. The exhause runs underneath and blocks the spanner. You have to sit to the left, use a 19mm spanner and turn it anti clockwise.

There's one principle I follow. If it aint broke, dont fix it. If you're not having a tappet problem, dont get into the mess of adjusting it. When time comes, yes, open the head and learn.

Whoops, all along I thought you were attempting 1st service. If the oil filter has been changed at first service, then you dont need to change it till 10,000 kms. Its written in the manual, but unfortunately I've lost mine. Both the air-filter and oil filter need changing at either 10K or 12 K kms.

For coolant, just top up the coolant. You dont have to flush the old one out unless there's dirt in the system. Use Motul's MOTOCOOL Expert. costs 310 bucks.

Service manual isn't available I guess. Do it Yourself!

Its a paper airfilter. Take it off, tap it lightly on the ground to get as much dust out, then use compressed air from the other side to blow the remaining dust out. I dont have an air compressor. You can use any ordinary inflator or a vaccum cleaner's blower function, but its not that effective.

Let the pipes be. Remove the tank bolts, turn the tank clockwise and rest it on the top of the twin beams of the chassis. You can access the airbox then.

thanks svjhonda

yeah i can try that...after opening the tank bolts i will let my friend hold the tank in air and i can get the air filter from the box out.

i dont think they changed the oil filter in any service so m thinking of changing it

should i do anything to the spark plug??

Now my bike is nameless...Some a&#hole flicked the R15 sticker from the left side panel! I wonder why he would do that...The sticker is not available separately either. How much does the side panel cost? Any cheaper solutions?

@sarvjit

u want a cheaper solution--believe that the thing never happened an run along with it

or u can go in for some sticker from locals

even my bike is missing a sticker on tanks right side...will buy it when i get all the service stuff from yamaha...i hope it is available!!

WHAT!
where n when!

sad .... I think side panel costs around 400 bucks... or do u want to get the sticker custom printed (wont be the same)

Finally, I got my bike booked.. and they first said they will get my book today after PDI... but to my frustration... they have all imported Red R15 that too 39 R15... I was like what the ****.... where are the rest of the colors.. seems Yamaha Nepal is playing monopoly game over here... am not a happy customer...

The cost of the side panel is Rs.365.
Yes the stickers are not available with Yamaha guys. You can contact any after market guy for the same. Let me check anyone in Pune has one.

I am getting my R15 in a couple of days. I am confused whether there is any difference between the old yamaha blue and new racing blue colour? Also i have heard that new blue has no rim-stripes and no white coloured graphics above the left headlamp as other colors do? Please help!

The graphic of the new R15 is the same but a bit smaller. No sticker on the left headlamp as of now. And yes no rim strip too Dont know why Yammy has done this to its true racing color.

Guys, yesterday again I went to the SVC with my chain noise.
They have applied some wet type chain lube a week ago. This time they said that there was form formation of some kind of locking in the chain And now it is gone because of the wet type chain lube applied last week.
But for me if feel that the noise has increase. When the bike is switched off in the slope, the chain makes a huge noise. Also as soon as the bike slows down, a different type of sound comes which is somewhat like ‘tak-tak’. Guys please help me in this .
Guys please throw some light

@ Beast.. i think me and santa has already told you what needs to be done, plz can you follow that up!!!

@TnT
aha the yellow taxi looks good

Yes it's been left stock as before without the extra headlight sticker/rim stripes etc which is how a performance enthusiast would like the bike. No nonsense...
