r15 wakes after 6000RPM, below it it's just a bike that will take you to the point B from A, but once past 6000RPM, you cant stop smiling...

iirc the mags have tested both bikes to about 132-135kmph for the R15 and 134-135 for the P220 ( the FI one, not the carb ). The carb 220 has been tested to 138-139 easy.Originally posted by invincible2110 View Post

I want to change my tyres both front and back for my r15 to a size of atleast say p220..is it possible..?is it advicable..?Comment

Dont want to go the the possibility part here, But I think its not at all advisable. you would loose power, mileage and above all handling qualities of the bike.Originally posted by crosswire View Post
Size of P220?
show some respect for the money you have spend dude

it is not advicable to upsize your tyre.Originally posted by crosswire View Post
bikes handling dynamics highly depend on the tyres, and they are best when on stock size.
but if you realy want to upsize it, one size up is ok because it donot mess with the bike performance largly.Comment

@vrroom: I guess others have already answered your questions, here is my input on the stands-you have 3 options available:
1. Permanent center stand made for R15: Rs.750 odd, check pic here: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...tml#post177772
2. Paddock racing stand Rs.1500 check pic here: xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community - Sarvajit's Album: My Bikes - Picture
3. RX 100 stand temporary Rs.200 or so.
Take your pick! I had the paddock stand initially but later (after my bike got tipped over by some meddlesome person in my building) when the mainstand was released, I opted for it, as it helps me to park in my congested office parking lot.
It took me a while to realize that, but by then the run-in period was already over!Originally posted by jd666 View Post
But then later I started shifting at minimum 4.5K RPM. I have noticed off late that the bike does not really respond well below that RPM!Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

anyone's got tips on how to reduce the contact of th front disc with the brake pads(even though brakes are not applied)
Its actually happening on both the brakes. I know how to fix the rear one, need help with the front brakes.Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.Comment

^Did you use an after market disc pad?
Why not get em out and scuff the surface with some sand paper? and whats the tip to set it for the rear discpad, would be keen to know

Hey R-series even my R15 rear breakes contacts the disk with no brakes applied, please share the trick to fix the issue.Originally posted by R-series View PostComment

thanks for the Info for the front pads, will try that and see if it helpsOriginally posted by satyenpoojary View Post
For the rear its I've noticed the axel to be slightly deflected in the horizontal plane. Like the count on the left and the right side of the swingarm, if different causes the same. The deflection of the axel causes the wheel to spin in a deflected vertical plane which further results in the disc touching the pads.
Takes time while doing it alone, cos you've got to ensure to tightening the axel nuts exactly where required. But got that fixed over night
