One piece of advice: Get the mainstand fitted, it really makes it secure in parking. If parking in sidestand, always park in gear.
RVM costs Rs.251 as Krishnakant mentioned. Footrest is Rs.65, but the footrest slider is Rs.250 odd. Hope you picked it up when it fell. Its a bit weird how it fell though-it has a spring reverse action. Anyways, even if you didn't pick the footrest slider up, I would suggest the FZ's slider which is maybe 1/10th the cost of the R15's&is a direct fit.

I saw one here at Pearl the other day-it was red in color. It was for a customer, but they can get it against order&advance payment. Why don't you try here at Venkatesha/Pearl for it?

Yes sarvajit u are right...every bike should be fallen atleast once...i crashed my bike within one month of purchasing it,thought it was minor with a few scratches and one RVM broken...I advise u to get a centre stand fitted which costs about Rs 750...

Yes, my bike fell in the first one month too (July 2008). I got the centrestand&highly recommend it to people parking in offices, malls etc. No issues with ground clearance too.

That reminds me, any takers for my paddockstand (racingstand Yamaha accessory)?

I am feeling insecure to park my bike on the center stand. The bike is front heavy and any bugger leans on the bike or pushes it a bit, it would roll ahead. Thought not very easy, it is easier to roll this bike down than other regular bikes. I feel safer to park my R15 on side stand and in 1st gear.

I am opting for pirelli 120-80 ,17" soft compound tyre as a rear replacement.

any idea on the the pros & cons of it.

Dear R15 Blue Owner,

Who has recently purchase (last 3 months) R15 blue color model, please let me know that what is bike engine and chassis manufacturing year?

**HydBiker** · 11-03-2009, 05:42 PM

^^^ looks like no blue colour R15 was produced in 2009. It is currently not in production. only old stock is available at some places.

Why is that so?
1. Because only the new racing colors were produced?
2. Too much demand for FZ?
3. Rumor coming true that new model R15 is coming in 2010?

**HydBiker** · 11-03-2009, 06:17 PM

most probable reason - no demand for that colour.

If the blue colour stock made one year ago is still available why should they make new blue bikes?

Initially Blue sold a lot and they'd have made a huge numbers of it. But I think the introduction of Red hit the blue bikes hard and then the new colours... not many are probably buying the blue. Or, maybe the blue is a limited edition

Cold starting etc???

Any starter motor related problems??

Did you park your bike in the rain? I had a problem when it was parked in the rain for 3-4 days. Cleaned the sparkplug and it was back to normal.
