I think only the aspect ratio of tyre affects the slsck/tension of the chain right?
The thickness be it 120 or 130 would only be dependent on space available width wise between the swingarm
reason is one of my gaonwallas has an 130/70/17 IRC alongwith a new chain sprocket set up..
this is making me even more confused & even I will wait b4 changing my tyre again

It was the 6th&final Free Service-from 7th onwards all are paid, my bike had done some 9.3K kms.then.Originally posted by tibby View PostI'm confused! Was it 9k Service (4th Free Service), or 9th Free Service (15k kms) ?
& I think I will leave the tappets untouched for now.
Yeah, the position of the adjuster makes all the difference. If you check on a new bike, width wise there is about an inch of gap between the tyre&the swingarm/chain cover.Originally posted by darkknight View PostI think only the aspect ratio of tyre affects the slsck/tension of the chain right?

I recently checked with one kid who got a new R15&immediately swapped the tyre for an IRC 130/70/17" soft compound. He had no problem on the swingarm side, but on the chain cover side I found he had removed the chain cover coz it was touching the tyre!
Now his bike's chain is completely nude...

as a rule, ive changed the filter at every service ( every 2.5k kms). And the tappets have been adjust twice. First around the 3k mark, and then again around the 7k mark. I think once the tappets set in, you need to check them every 6k, but for the first few k kms, try and get it done with every service, for optimum performance.
Also as pointed out above, the filter should be changed when changing the grade of oil.

Guys, when i ride for the first time in a day, the gears tend to be initially hard. After riding around for 10-15 mins the gears works normally i.e. the gears tend to shift swiftly not being hard .
What i needed to ask was all of you guys face this????
thanksComment

Happens with my bike too. I think this is because initially the engine is cold, but after some riding it gets the optimal temperature and works smoothly. In manual it is recommended not push the bike too hard when the engine is cold.Originally posted by Amrit View PostOnce human-being, now Biker.Comment

@under the seat sound problem
Never heard of such problem though once in my P200 I had a similar problem.
When checked I found out that a small uncut plastic thing was touching the rear tyre, cut and removed it and then tightened each and every bolt in my bike and the problem vanished. That could happen due to any loose internal.
@the person who asked the tyre query..
IMHO..stock are the best tyres for R15..
Still if u cant find them then either go for
1. Scorpian Pirelli 120/80
Or
2. Michellin Pilot sports
First one is worth under 2k bucks and second one sets back you by some 3.5k bucks but both are great when it comes to performance,handling and grip plus they last pretty long.

Before starting the bike for first time press and release the clutch atleast 10-15 times.Originally posted by Amrit View Post
After starting the bike in morning let it Idle for some 15-20 sec's or rev it a bit below 3.5k rpm.
Do this then tell if there's any improvment.

Thanks Shanz, i was just looking 110 or 120 profile tyres. And most probably i will go for Pirelli 120/80. When i get stock tryes, may be in a month or so then again i have to replace the Pirelli with stock!!!Originally posted by Shanz View Post2009 YAMAHA YZF-R15

BTW IRC has a stock size tire (100/80 17inch), soft compound too.
Go for that I'd say...You get the point?? :D

aha.. a lil' correction.. Michelin Pilot Sport tyres are available for the bigger machines only. The version we need is the Michelin Pilot Sporty..which are meant for small scooters and motorcycles below 125cc, so they're light weighted and has similar qualities as a Pilot Sport has, so in my opinion they're perfect stock replacement, available for around 4600/-, 130/70/R17, feather light weight and True performance oriented ! They come stock in R125 and since they're not manufactured in India, cost more than regular.
BTW now that we've got concrete info about No rear changes for our R15..is anyone still interested in speaking about the KRP thingy of getting the rear tidy without compromising on performance? Well I'm sure interested in getting it done for mine..but 13K's a lotta money..so if there are more ppl we can sure bargain for a great deal with KRP..any comments?Comment

@All: For those of you who were interested in the Racing Bkue that was launched a few months ago, along with other racing colours, & subsequently never reached the showrooms, I saw one being delivered today at Perfect Riders. Maybe its already available at other showrooms too, but since I saw it, I thought I update you all..
The stickering on the fairings is abit different, & there's also the R15 sticker on the headlight cowl.. Plus I'm guessing it will have dual horns, like the other racing colours..

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.Comment
