  • Babe's done 5500 km till now and its been more than 6 months... completed 3rd servicing... 4th one round the corner...
    I think I have lil problem with the bike... The first 3 gears are very hard... not a soft notch like it used to be...
    Also on release of the clutch after shifting the gears and accelerating on these gears, I get some kind of jerk... dunno what kind it is! but somewhere near the gear panel, something gets the beating.. no matter how slowly i release the clutch and accelerate... from 4th gear.. its not an issue.. .Strange!
    Is it because of mobil that i use that is making the gear hard.. I use Castrol Activ 4T... Does someone of you face the same gear notch problem and the problem while release of clutch... I never faced this in my old bike though...

I gave order before a month and paid the full amount at the showroom. They promised to get me within a maximum time of 10 days. But now its been more than a month and no response from them even though i visit the showroom every 3-4 days. After waiting for this many days, i am very frustated that now i am thinking to sell off the bike. mine is the old blazing red colour But, i want to complain to Yamaha officials regarding this matter. Is there a way that i can get to contact them through email or phone? Please help me. All these thing are making me hate Yamaha !!
      NO YAMAHA !!!
      All parts will be readily available here.Hop on to a train, come to Hyderabad, buy the parts&go back&get them fit. I can co-ordinate if you need.

          The radiator fan kicks in at 90 degrees. The coolant heats up and triggers the fan. This happens when the air flowing through the radiator isn't enough to cool the coolant. This generally happens in stop-go traffic, if you're stuck for 5 minutes. Don't worry. As long as the overheat indicator on the console doesn't light up, you don't have a cooling problem.

          Any idea where i can get eh Colour for R15 Red?
          Does it look good ? has anyone tried it ?
          Please comment on the above Questions
          You can try Com Paint. It is advertised in Bike India. They supposedly have matching colours for Yamaha bikes.
          You get the point?? :D

              Do not mix different grade of engine oil. Btw, why are you topping it up. It's not all that necessary unless the oil level is really low.

              • ABS saved my life

                Hey,
                Hi everyone and yes I said it right "ABS saved MY LIFE". actually in the incidence which happened 3 days prior , I saved A obnoxious Girl who happen to jump in between the flyover (I hope you all get the point , since on a flyover there's not a possibility that some one would ever cross the road since its elevated ) and this was my first day with ABS , OMG what to do next I inadvertently jabbed the brakes (front with rather more pressure on it ) and to my astonishment this thing works , I really dont care what others say THIS thing gives you a very strong and controlled braking, my bike was stable like a rock while i braked from around 65Kmph in a matter of 3bikes length with a pillion while its still raining. You know what , what happened next is just kinda nightmare this guy with CBZ X-treme at the back which was still far away (say abou 5-6 bike lengths) could not handle the situation and hit my babe 15 (WTF..@!#$%) but you know what he got his headlight assembly completely broken with right leg gard completely bent +front T-bar bent...and he manged all this with a minor fracture(I hope and pray) in left hand index finger and a pinkie.
                Bros I have driven bikes since long and I know many of you also have but truly this thing works, this worked for me, It saved that poor girls Life (though it was completely her mistake and truly her sorry's and sobbs cant take any of our miseries back but then she learned an imp lesson ).
                I was about to post evry pic related to this accident and ABS and my broken things but never matter. The point I wanna make here is that ABS works and you know what when you are on the road or track somethings small like (ABS worth around 1675 INR for the front & rear calipers ) is any day a price one (or at-least I)could live with when you understand the importance of braking it might save LIFe or Time everythings worth it.
                BTW I must tell you I was very very strongly skeptical about ABS before installing it, mine is as otheres may say cheap china one but hey I just beg to differ that how on earth can the quality be so diff much of difference when the thing I have is full Aluminum anodized unit which just manipulates fluid mechanism. More of I have seen it, that this thing increases your braking and stability by almost 25-45% for sure.
                With no intentions to brag or something, I must tell you that I honed 1st position in Novice class in Track racing on a stock R15, so you may assume that i know at least some in and outs in braking...
                any further questions are more that welcome ...
