    i am happy as a young member of the xbhp!

    by the way, i have completed the tour
    what next?

    do i have to check the bike again for any faults ?

    or you suggest any maintenance after a 400 km tour..??

        Thats good Pranjal how many kms has your bike done in total.. well bike would be all fine as she is a gem of a machine. But the only thing you can do is after about 100kms i.e. in total 500kms, get the chain lubed of your bike...and ride safe.

          dude, zmr shouldnt even be a choice.. personally i dont like it at all.. though it is a good bike acc. to the smoothness, comfort, etc. but the looks and performance stats are not upto the mark...the headlight seems to be a copy of a suzuki bike, the zmr written on the fairing looks like that on the hayabusa..the rear is taken from the cbz extreme..karizma aint karizma no more man... looks apart, r15 has a top whack of 130+ while HH claims zmr to go no more than 126.. it has a torque of Nm way to much more than r15 but less than p220.. but the power given by zmr is 17.6ps just a bit more than r15's 17.. moreover zmr weighs 169kg while r15 is almost 30kgs lighter .. so the overall power to weight ration of the r15 is much better..r15 looks better, handles better,goes faster then why zmr?

              yah...i wil lubricate the chain for sure

              when i was returning back (around 8 pm).....i noticed that the stock headlights are not so good..
              the visibility is poor......not suitable for touring..

              tourers, be careful!!

                which bike did you had before this bro? yes I agree that stock lights are not good but they are far better than few Indian Bikes... one needs to get used to it...

What u ppl think abt it????
                  anyone please???

                    Awesome

                    Guys,

                    We are about to reach 1000 pages. With my little knowledge, I assume this is the largest community/thread so for a ownership experience discussion. Concern, curiosity, knowledge sharing, safe riding, tips n tricks etc. have been discussed in the previous pages. Its indeed stand for - "With great speed comes great responsibility".

                    To all owner of R15, bike enthusiasts/lovers/followers - this thread is a one stop destination whenever you have any doubt/query regarding your beloved speed machine.

                    Thanks all.

                    Keep riding....keep riding safe.

                      hey dude go for R15, just make sure that you learn how to ride the bike as the sitting posture is a bit different than zma or any other indian bikes, so initially you may face some issues but once you are comfortable with it its a gem.

                        You would feel the need to lube the chain every 500-1000km. The interval would depend on the conditions you ride in and the type of chain lube you use.

                        Regarding the torque, low end torque is there but not that much at the same time not that less as well that you would struggle moving the bike.

                          front suspension

                          guys, i was just looking at the pics and noticed when i went to the showroom, are'nt the front suspensions skinny? they seem to be so thin??
                          is it really so or am i a fool?

                          btw in comparison with fz, p220 i think they are smaller... what dya have to say ?

                              Suspensions have no complains. They absorb almost everything Indian roads have to offer. Dont worry!
