    guys has anyone faced issue with noise from the fuel pump? My friends bike is just a month old and his bike is making hell not of noise . even with a full tank it makes noise.

    Heading to a SS tomorrow with him to get it fixed i hope they replace the fuel pump.

      actually depends upon how dark it is...similar to tinting car windows.

      the darker shade you use ...the more you compromise on visibility.
      (I assume your talking about the front windshield and not the helment)

      btw...any idea how to darken the windshield of the bike ?
      Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

          something like this
          Yamaha YZF-R6 Accessories, Yamaha YZF-R6 Windshields

          or are they available anywhere ??
          ^
          I guess its called Vinyl. You'll have to select a shade, and get it stickered on the visor. Preferably from the inside...

          1) Carry spare clutch & accelerator cables (I'll also recommend chain clean & chain lube).
          2) Carry engine oil (you'll need to replace it once I guess).
          3) Carry a tubeless tire repair kit
          4) Carry spare fuses
          5) Carry a temporary center stand (available for 250 bucks).
          6) Carry requisite documents.
          7) A digital camera to post pictures back here...

          Yeah, its sort of a high pitched whine right? Heard it in new bikes... I mean made in India ones... Dunno whats the issue. But apparently no drop in performance or efficiency (so I don't think they're losing pressure). Anyways, you post back what it is...
          You get the point?? :D

            Yeah the high pitch sound. The bike is working perfectly . Just that the pump is really very annoying. Need to see what fundas the service guy give.

              By that time i'll be on synthetic oil and guess that would be good for some 5K km so still do i need to carry?

              And anything else that i may require?

              Just to give an idea this would be my first such a long distance trip and moreover it would be a solo trip so need advice from all experienced people out here about all the necessary and unecessary stuff.

                Just after the service, I had an accident while turning towards the left, the tyres didn't hold up. Anyways just a unlucky day, whats my point is?

                Just now I tried leaving my hands from the handle bar just like as I use to do previously, now the bike is shifting towards the right. Previously it was Ok. Or is it just my psychology for having the accident (My bike was dragged some 10 mts with bike tilted towards the left... I hope u guys know what may be the problem, the handle bar look ok to me

                Its still left unanswered

                    Your handle needs to be Straightened - it should have been slightly edging towards the Right side - which makes you to slide toward right when you leave your Hands....

                    Have you tested this with a pillion or without a Pillion?

                      thnx for the replay guys..then i will buy my bike from perfect riders showroom cause of majority of ppl here have a good opinion on it .

                      @ Snappy
                      ganganagar is too far from where i stay..so better chose from msp or perfect riders

                          The OTR price of the bike across showrooms here will be the same, however they might charge you diff rates for the non-yamaha accessories/ add-ons like teflon, alarm etc.
                          yea i too thought about getting my bike from perfect riders can u get me the address of the showroom so i can check out the place..and do they have an limited edition r15 in there godown or is it yet to come.

                            I have made up my mind to buy a Yamaha R15 After going through all your ownership experiences and R15 related threads, what worries me is the "SERVICE".
                            Could you guys please suggest a dealer who gives better service when compared to others in Bangalore.
                            I have heard lots of complaints about Orion.
                            The choices and I have are Perfect Riders, Lalbagh and Bangalore wheels.

                            Please share your thoughts.
                            Thanks!
                            Saj.
                            You are right!

                            SERVICE is damn worst. Toppers are "Orion Motors".
                            They will show you how worst one can get and try for even beyond...

                            After u get the bike, for two weeks daily they wil make u roam with ur bike around their SVC.
                            Dont have words, man!

                              Call Avinash (sales guys at Perfect) on 9980562600, he should be able to tell you what colours are available.

                                Its twice in approx 7 days where my motorcycle after switching the ignition ON, the tacho doesn't make a sweep

                                and there was some noise(like a very gentle saw machine running kms away and you have cotton balls in your ears) in the engine(which wasn't there earlier) and disappeared after clutching-in,
                                its no longer after doing approx 6-7kms
                                *the noise was for the first time and i have tried my best to make the noise sound as it is
