    Guys! One thing has been bothering me from some days..
    Whenever I brake hard (to come to a halt asap), from speeds of 80+, I can hear sounds from the gearbox as though the bike is downshifting automatically.. But oce i come to a halt, i realise the gears haven't downshifted themselves (obviously! ) & are as they were when I had braked..
    Now is this downshifting sound normal? If yes, any idea what exactly is the sound, where from & why?
    Downshifting sound is weird..... my bike doesnt make a sound even when its down shifting
    Check your chain play man...

    I am looking for a good chain cleaner to clean my R15's chain at home. I have been advised to use diesel rather than WD40 by some of my friends. Do u have any more recommendations which are safe to use on open O-type chains?
    Avoid Diesel... Motul chain spray and chain lube every 500Kms... maja ni life

        There is a mild sound when downshifting.. Maybe your helmet is too good in cutting out the sound completely..
        Forget the sound, i can almost feel the downshifts during hard-braking..
        I don't think its harming the bike, but just wanted to know if I'm the only R15er here getting special treatment from the Yam..

        The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

          I used to think the same about my clutch noise-it vanished completely after air filter cleaning.
          I thought the same about my ticking noise, understood that its pretty normal too.
          So, the problem in many cases is not what you think it is. IMO your problem seems to be chain oriented, get a good chain servicing (cleaning+lubing+sprocket+slack alignment)done&then lets relook at it!

              The R125 also has a rev cut off at 10.2?
              It is nothing but a big bore kit which converts it to 182cc. Yes the R125 also has cut iff at 10.5K RPM.

              BTW Yamaha also has a racing kit for R125 :-

                          • Guys need little help.

                            Cleaned my chain using Motul Chain clean couple of weeks back and applied Motul chain lube...I didn't rode my bike anywhere between last two weeks( i mean long ride)..Now i saw 2 days back some rust on my chain ..I directly applied the Motul lube without cleaning it.Now today i observed the Rust still remains.

                            Do we need to clean the chain in case of rust everytime....and then we should apply the Lube ....or we must clean the rust from Zorik or something which prevents rust and then apply the LUBE....Please advice guys

                            Cheers

                                First of all welcome to the mobile edition!

                                If you have old colour R15.. Then
                                Go to a good car accessories shop with your horn..
                                There you can have some really awsome sounding horns in the same weight of your default R15 horn!
                                Reason why am mentioning weitage..
                                Because putting more weighted horn on that feeble looking radiator blade will not do any good to it..
