    Good find there. Is it tubeless? Soft compound?

                  • Done 22,000 km today ,.. still running with the same stock tiers and now i am getting mad ... need to find the tiers quickly ... now running back tier at 22 air pressure and front at 19

                    till now only 2 things replaced till now .. oil filter and spark plug, [ofcourse some 3 times the fairing as many time i crashed]

                    stats:

                    milage: 33kmpl exactly

                    Engn condition: lil hard now .. not as smooth as new one

                    other parameters: fine

                    top speed after 20k run: top 138kmph on speedo [effortlessly will touch 120kmph on speedo]

                    Breaks: both changed to local one [rs 200] @ 5k km still both are fine

                    planning to change: both tiers , spark plug , shifting gears always makes noise and its very hard .. need to check wt to change here
                    Nothing is Impossible ...

                      A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                        I think this is serious issue with R15, every 5000 km it has lost 3-4 KMPL fuel efficiency. Initial I get 47-45, Now I getting 40-41. I am worried that situation becomes worse after 15K.

                        Let me suggest what I need to do apart from regular service to maintain good engine and fuel efficiency.

                            I must say you have taken some extra care your R15. I am doing so but not enough. I would like to hear more, how to maintain R15 effectively

                            • hi all
                              the guys at PSN Yamaha, Cochin told me that their next lot or R15 will arrive on 30th of this month. I'm going there tomorrow. they informed me that almost all the bikes are booked and if I pay the full amount in advance, they will keep a Bike for me separately(may be for display) as I'll only be able take it from them in the 3rd week of June due to personal reasons.
