      The master cylinder and the cable are made to a select specification, and changing any of those could throw the braking off-balance...

      BTW- the svc here says you can buy individual components. So try if you get only the braided hose from the Body kit...
      Next time when u visit the service centre, can you ask for the price of the braided hose ? Also i had a crash today in the track. The inner and outer right panels are cracked and the front brake lever is bent

          After two weeks of modification, the Aprilia RS125 swingarm fits.

          Next will be upsidedown front fork, and I really really want the Daytona kit, I need more power. Is it already available in India, maybe somewhere online? Or maybe somebody can place it on ebay for me...
          I check this thread everyday, you have a great bike there in India!
          nice job,..can u pls tell us the difference in handling you notice after the change?
          There is a thin line between adventure and madness,...God must have made me myopic for a reason!!!

            • Thank you!

              The mods I did:
              - Bigger rims with Bridgestone BT45 front 100/80 (will change to 110/70) and rear 130/70
              - Rear discbrake/caliper Nissin (ori Vixion has drumbrake)
              - Full Yamaha YMAX kit (adjustable handle)
              - Yamaha Shark kit (engine cover, front side panels)
              - Pearl White color
              - 320mm Front Disc PSM
              - YSS rear shock
              - Aprilia RS125 swingarm
              - Koso mirrors

              The handling is now almost perfect for me, the back is higher and the shock is stiffer than ori, also I really like the tyres. Next thing will be upside down in the front, I dont really like the ori front fork. And then I will need the engine performance, thats all original now and thats not much. Vixion has 5 gear and 15 ps. The swingarm is lighter but the tyres add weight, so it still affects the performance, but the handling is so much better, so its worth it.

                • Whats this news about a new R15? Is it something like the Fazer 250 that went puff in a cloud of smoke?

                          Bro, I asked, but the Kolkata svc has just the exhaust in stock. And nothing else. I specifically asked if the parts would be available separate, not in kit form, and the guy said yes. So check your place has them and try getting one...

                          Awesome mods there! In the changes you made, the rear shock was changed too? Which one is that? The RS's? The kits are not available freely yet... Atleast not everywhere... But I'm sure we can ship stuff to you...
                          You get the point?? :D

                              Why are you doing all these silly analysis dude? These things do not work the way you think!

                              • Regarding first 1000 km run.

                                after reading the manual, it says do not cross 5k rpm on the first 1000 km run. well, can i go at 65-70kmph at 6th gear maintaining less than or equal to 5k rpm?
