    That should be a fair price if not the right price. There are people paying that much for one tyre

          • My motorcycle has done approx 6000+kms,
            does the sound change when you press the clutch? as far as i remember it does on all motorcycles but as per a local mech it has something to do with clutch housing, true?

            i go down the 'box hard with throttle blips and the bike either is pottering at 3000rpm or she is being revved just shy of the red mark,

                25k and will run even more for sure.
                Wrong slack and improper lube and wrong air pressures will screw ur chain life

                    • Any damn car coolant will do fine , Iv been using Castrol hD for last 1 yr ,
                      Bot Veedol in some remote village in Maharashtra .

                      Also filled bisleri water when the coolant level was low :-)

                        I have been using Mahindra Coolant manufactured for the SCORPIO on my R15. Runs fine!!!

                          That is probably very early. It is not just about the sound. Pls check your front sprocket wear out and how much your chain has stretched.

                          That is approximately when the clutch bell bush in the R15 is giving up in most of our bikes. But according to the Yamaha guys that is nothing to worry except for the sound and some added vibes.

                          True, I think the chain can sustain 25K KMs easily though I am awaiting a replacement at 21K. My chain was over tightened thrice. I have run the bike for a long time on low tyre pressure.

                          Any coolant would do. You can even walk down to your nearest petrol pump, buy a 500 ml coolant bottle and use it. But in order to reduce the mess, use a ready to use coolant instead of the ones that need water added.

                          • @JD- I did'nt get you. Are they the original brake pads or copies of originals?
                            You get the point?? :D

                            • Is there any setting to improve rear breaking efficiency? My rear brakes are almost useless, I'm using the front disc to halt the bike. Is it the time to change rear disk pads? Please help.

                                Sprocket should last easily for 25K kms, mine lasted for about 18k KMs with a LOT and trust me a LOT of abuse!

                                Check if you have messed up your rear disk pad AND the plate.... Rear disc brakes usually lack the bite that the front ones would have for obvious safety reasons!
