@raman -did you crouch on the bike after 126 kmph? or were you riding upright?

Has anyone used Cramsters / any other company's saddle bages on their R15 ? Feedback ? Can you post pictures of the same ?
Am currently using the Cramster tank bag which I find to be extremely useful but for longer trips I would need saddlebags.Comment

Saddle bags will fit. No probs... Be wary of the tail section. Since its sharp, its prone to loose the paint due to the rubbing. And be prepared to give up some handling.Originally posted by neil.jericho View PostDemocracy is when 2 wolves and a sheep meet to decide who is for dinner.

By using the chain lube & cleaner, my rear alloy is now left with the residue of the sprays..../grease...
I am unable to clean it.....Its very sticky.
What should be done to clean it???
should i use soap????
thanks.Comment

I think you can use a scrubber with sampoo on the alloy..andother option that comes to my mind is using a cloth dipped in kerosene..but im not sure it would work or not.Originally posted by Amrit View Post

You reminded me of my days, when I fantasized about the bike. At one point it was an impossible thought for me.Originally posted by Prakritij View Posthi all! went to Yamaha dealer Shinrai Automobiles Pvt Ltd at Kochi today.
Its a newly opened one I guess. 2 R15s(1 black,1 yellow), 1 Gladi SS and few Albas, G5s and a Fazer was on display.
I did some general enquiry of R15 and was shocked to know that the sales guys had no idea about the grade of engine oil, coolant and chain lube used(though I knew the specs, I was testing them).
One guy asked the manager and confirmed "Sir, chain lube is dry type and it will cost you 400/- and I was like
".
They asked me to sit on a Bike and feel it. I did and was very excited. though found the pegs very rear set, I guess it will grow on me(once I get the Bike, that is
)...
I forgot everything else and just sat there with a heart beating at high rpms
Left the Showroom after asking his(salesman) name and thanking the him.
No, you not in a hurry at all. 1600kms is enough. Tuck into the fairing properly, redline 3rd onwards, make sure the tire pressures are correct, and airfilter is clean.Originally posted by raman sriharsha View Post
Use kerosene to clean it off, then use shampoo to make the alloys glossy clean again.Originally posted by Amrit View Post
You get the point?? :D

I've red lined in each gear except for 6th and still managed 133 on flat surface with no tail wind but people here are going in excess of 140s. What else for that??Originally posted by satyenpoojary View PostMy thoughts...

Clean Air filter, Check Tyre Pressure, Shed some Weight! Sit a a few CMs behind and crouch as much as you can see the road from the visor!Originally posted by harshit.d View PostSuper CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

Most of us have the same problem. Now I don't attempt to clean it myself-I wait till it goes for washing!Originally posted by Amrit View Post
I guess they also use kerosene though.
The scrubber would scrub the paint out! As it is the paint from the alloys flakes very easily due to stones etc.Originally posted by R-series View PostI think you can use a scrubber with sampoo on the alloy..andother option that comes to my mind is using a cloth dipped in kerosene..but im not sure it would work or not.
As mentioned by others, topspeed depends on a variety of factors-tailwind, airfilter being clean, tyre pressure, road incline, chain slack, proper gear shifts etc. I've seen my bike struggling to go beyond 126kmph on one occasion&doing 144kmph also on another fine day so chill!Originally posted by harshit.d View PostQuench my thirst with gasoline!Comment
