      Also, my bike has clocked 3900 kms...what engine oil is preferred semi synthetic or fully synthetic? and brand and cost?
      Also, is the IRC 130 section on the ninja good or the p220 dts-i soft compound tyre good for my r15's rear, the tyre should be light so that the performance does not detoriate and a direct fit....
      Any more modifications for the performance?
      I heard about two brothers exhaust for r15...anybody tried or any info on that?

      Please, answer my queries.

      Thanks.
      Sahaj,
      Guys checked out Ninja250 @ Vijayawada for some spares. Got the quote today:

      Rear Alloy - Rs. 26,500
      Rear Tire - IRC 130 - Rs. 8,800
      Front Alloy - Rs. 22,000
      Front Tire - IRC 110 - Rs. 6,200

      Guess its not the best of the deals around, rather would get it custom built.

            I had asked about the fork assembly price details on my R15. Am now unable to pin-point the exact source of the problem. Any help appreciated. Following is my problem:

            1. The bike veers towards the left strongly once I take both my hands off the handlebar
            2. Braking tugs the bike to the left
            3. Turning to the left feels like the bike wants to keep turning and never come back to original position. Feels very eager
            4. There is resistance turning to the right. Mid corner the bike feels like its straightening before tilting towards right again.
            5. Left handle bar feels out of sync with right. Thats is, I feel am keeping my left hand lower or in a position not proper with my right hand
            6. When the front wheel is straight, the handlebar assembly (ie) the ignition lock, Tstem etc appear slightly tilted to the left.
            7. Riding with only the right hand feels like the bike wanting to swerve right, then left, then right and so on.

            Is this issue a sure shot case of fork bend or could it just be a T-stem bend? Cud the alloy also have taken the brunt or worse, the chassis near the neck have a bend?

            How can each of these be inspected and as am prepared to replace, what might require replacement?
            You'll not believe I have the exact same problem on my bike, except the intensity is less, and its bent to the right instead of left.

            I had taken off the entire steering and checked everything. Even you'll need to do the same.
            You get the point?? :D

            • I need to grab a new tool kit. Not the usual one from the SVC, but an all ingredient filled which suits all basic DIY needs for a R15. Please list out the names and approximate prices and where can I get emm from.

              A medical kit is also on my mind , so any help on it is higly appreciated too.

              Cheers !

                  • Can anyone tell me how much the insurance renewal cost comes to at the end of the 1st year ? Got a call from Orion yesterday telling me that I need to renew my insurance and that it will come to around 1600 bucks.

                      The premium is some percentage of the cost of the bike (calculated after depreciation every year).
                      And the premium amount varies for insurance companies and the type of insurance done (first, second or third party).
                      My thoughts...

                        I would suggest you get i renewed asap . My Policy expired and it was a pain to get it done. They were charging 200rs for inspection and a few other charges to do it. Finally i got it done by a friend had to pay 1596/- without inspection he did some jhol and got it done.

                          To add to this if you get caught by mamu then they will create more fuss if insurance docs are not there!!

                            yeah. but you wont believe it . Oriental Insurance never gave any policy papers to me. I just had the cover note, that to it was torn. I went to oriental and they said they cant give me original policy paper they can give a xerox . I was damm pissed of with that .As as a owner i wanted a original policy paper. After the policy expired i got it done by ICICI. Finally now i have ICICI lumbard insurance. I got the original policy paper by post.

                              Well cover note in original is also sufficient for the proof but still they need to give the complete set of documents for customer's referance. For my car i've got insurance from United India Assurance and they've never created ant such problem. All work in spick and span!
