      Thanx for the help Inder bhaiyya.. but if u can read my query here then he could also.. and he has posted right after my post.. so................

      But thanx anywez brother..

      Anyone....?????

      Actually the left RVM's black paint was chipping out since some time.. and now it's gone to a noticable extent..So I am thinking of getting both the RVMs painted locally.. But was thinking if the cost of new RVMs is close to the cost of repainting then why not go for the new ones.. That's why need the info...

      Anybody listening..??????

        Ketan i do recall inquiring about the rvm cost before puchasing the bikes. IIRC it's in the range of 350-450/-. But my memory is foggy at best about the whole episode. You could call up Yamaha SC and enquire about the cost.

          It used to cost around Rs.247. I heard they have raised the prices by Rs.100 or so.
          If you do get them painted, don't pay more than Rs.200 for both. I once paid Rs.100 for the left side.

                  • r15 beep

                    Hey Guys,

                    I have a week old R15. It makes a beeping sound on occasion.
                    For a few minutes on initial riding. Any idea why ?

                    I've ridden it within the run-in conditions (<5k rpm)

                    ./RB

                      About that 'beeping' sound, its just air getting sucked into the tank from the tank's petrol cap, the FI pump creates some pressure inside the tank and hence the air moves in. Especially happens when you move the bike after a few hours.

                      It's also referred to as the R15 fart. Scary if you don't expect it, especially to curious kids and dogs passing by :P

                        Thanx a lot guys.. Today I inquired with a local fella who does the paint job n all.. and yes as sarvajit said he's asking me around 150 bucks for that.. So I think I'll prefer getting them painted instead of replacing..

                        Actually my bike's gonna turn a year old on coming 30th.. A faithful and year full of rides with my R15.. Just awesome machine I must say.. Dont want to keep her in bad shape on her birthday.. even if it's just a bit of paint gone off..

                        Thanx a lot anywez bros..

                        • So what is the situation with the spare parts availability? Would like to know if its still an issue to get things like the oil filter replaced etc. Especially in Bangalore.

                            Not trying to burst your bubble, but there were lots of posts of R15's with angel eyes....

                            Anyways, nice effort. Looks good. Just would like to ask you what are the specs of the rings? How much power do they consume, and do they have a separate connection, or connected to the pilot lamp wire?

                                All the major bank sites give the EMI calculator and interest charges vary by city & bank.
