                nopes bro I had never used high performance petrol like octane....why you are doing it honda way???....you should atleast check what milege you are getting....nothing special to do in it.... in empty tank make trip 1 zero and full your tank then ride the bike till it comes in reserve, note the kms and divide it by 10 (divide by 10 because there is still 2litres in reserve)....there is your average...atleast one should be aware about the average of his bike.....

                      They did that even for my bike at the same cost. They say they clean the stenor filter i think. Is it totally useless? Just an eyewash?


                      @All: I have a spare unused can of Motul Chain Clean with me. Do let me know if any of you from Bangalore need it. MRP is INR 450, happy to give it away for lower than that (as i have another can which will suffice)

                      • @ Trivandrum/ Kerala R15 owners

                        Hi Guys,

                        I have seen several posts in this thread about the possible position of number plate on R15 and the possible repercussions.

                        It is a fact that the default number plate position takes away a lot of oomph from the bikes aesthetic value.Also its understood that the repurcussions (from traffic cops) of placing the number plate eslewhere varies largely from city to city.

                        I expect to take the delivery of the bike sometime next week, can Trivandrum/ Kerala R15 owners chip in with their experiences with non default position of number plates...so that i can take a wise decision.


                        Thanks...

                        • Guys, with the tyres pretty much worn out (max another 1500 to 2000 KMs) I have noticed that at 7000 RPM in 6th gear my R15 does 99 KMPH instead of 102 KMPH it used to do when with new tyres

                          ah! 30-35 in city and 48 on highway!!!

                          I get nothing less than 38 in city and nothing more than 42 on highways. My riding on highways is similar to what you have mentioned. I weigh ~78 KGs and my gear would weigh another 5-7 KGs. I carry at least 5-7 KGs luggage most of the times on the highway.

                            There was this one issue of OVERDRIVE which stated that R15 does 100kmph at 6000RPM at the top gear.
                            they slashed 1000RPm from there.
