I tried, bt they have only yamaha's lube

The problem is with a small bush behind the clutch bell. What I was told multiple times by company trained mechanic & the company person as well is that generally, if the bike is used for high RPM's (which is true in maximum cases) this problem would come up at about 6-7K KMs. Replace it and it would come back in another 6-7K KMs. So, since it doesn't harm anything else, why open up the clutch case???

I do know one xBhpian's bike that developed a lot of vibes due to this and that was corrected. I didn't want mine to be touched as it is not very bothering.

1st Service Costs:
1) Engine oil - Yamalube API SL = Rs 220
2) Oil Filter = Rs 430
3) Chain lube = Rs 50 - 100
4) Coolant top-up (if needed) = ~Rs 50. Generally this is needed at 2nd service.
Total should be around = Rs 700 to 800 max.

Second service should not cost more than Rs 350 as you don't need to change the Oil Filter then.

The side panel costs Rs 570. The Side inner panel costs about Rs 350 but since you said it had a sticker it should be the outer panel.

Most Bajaj ProBiking SC's use OKS 450 Chain Lube Spray. Some reported to use the SAE 90 Gear oil. This is a very debated topic. Technicals apart, I wouldn't suggest greasing as you will not be able to apply it evenly.

wow thanks man! now i can be sure i wont be taken for a ride by the service centre people.

Here r details:

Thanks mate, it really hepls to eliminate the morning thuk sound of the first gear.

doesn't seem to work for me. I mean, the jerk+sound doesn't get eliminated but they get reduced.

I always stop my bike in gear and more than half the times I start the bike in 1st gear by holding the clutch. There's still that jerk when I shift it to the first gear but it is definitely lesser when compated to starting the bike in neutral and then shifting to the first.

Your clutch play may be improper. Does the clutch start engaging even if you release the clutch by a small amount? If you have set it like that, the jerk will come.

that problem comes now and then and when the clutch play is adjusted it goes away.

The one we are speaking about is only when cold starting and that too when shifting from Neurtal to 1st.

I switch off the R15 in 1st gear and then park it there. When I start the bike I hold the clutch and start it. After a few seconds I realize that I have to negotiate the bike out of the parking from the gap between my car and the pillars (happens most of the times). I then put it into N and push the bike with my legs. Once out, I shift to 1st gear. I still get the jerk.

If it is not too much, a little jerk is to be expected and is normal.

Thanks Baloo, its help me lot, every time I visit Ahmedabad, I couldn't see the highway between Surat to Baroda become it had passed during mid-night on bus/travels, so I couldn't watch carefully. Thanks again.

Got this message from Pearl Yamaha:

@HydBiker: In case you forgot, that xBhpian whose bike developed a lot of clutch vibes&weird sound is me.
They promised to replace the clutch bell&housing but didn't. In the meanwhile I got angry&started showing it on the bike by ripping it.
Surprisingly the sound went away after a few days.
Likewise, even if it comes back I'm not much bothered now.

@biker boy: I like the thud sound-its supposed to be a SBK characteristic!

^^^ Lovely. I only remember till the part where you were waiting in the SC for replacement

I love that loud sound on shifting to 1st gear.. Makes me forget the 5 (R15) for that instant.. Have been having it for sometime now, & simply love it..

guys, does anyone have a photograph of the OLD Yamalube oil can?

Old one has "manufactured by Exxon Mobil India" written on the back side.

Pls post it here.
