^^Why did u replace Radiator with new one Santa?

2 years now , needed to change the coolant , Plus
with 2 years of highway riding , and offroading and stone hits , small ones ,chances of a puncture/fin damage down the line is high.
So better saving 5700 rs now than me paying from my pocket later.

Also need to get a mesh cover done for the radiator like on the comet Oil cooler.

I want to know that from where are u looking the bike when specifying LHS and RHS bcoz my bike is just a month old and if i sit on the bike then the radiator cap is on RHS and horn on LHS.......

Yup, a foot pump, cost approx Rs.350, make--Johnson(Delhi made).

Hardware/Bicycle stores should be stocking them up.


DIY or getting it made?(need more info)
and wise decision to change the radiator FOC.

^how is the GT-250 doing?

Couple of queries

Guys, my bike is a year old now, & I have exhausted all free services.
Can you please tell me what is the cost of a paid service at Yamaha SVCs? Is it uniform (determined by Yamaha), or varies from SVC to SVC?
I think it is about INR 450 for R15 at Perfect Riders, Bangalore. Not sure though.

Also, I can't seem to locate the drain period of Yamalube semi-synthetic engie oil. Help on this also pls?

It varies, not just with the SVC, but also with the tasks you get done.

I've used it for about 4K kms.without any topup.

@All: Has anyone tried the new Yamalube fully-synthetic engine oil yet?
I heard the grade is 10w40&it costs ~630 p.l., but I would like to know the drain period as well.

^Some son of a bitc* peeled off my tank stickers and the rear fender one.

DiY as always :-).Will post pics after its done.But its a very much needed Addon.

The GT is doing awesome , loving every mile im munchin on it . Got the K&N cleaned , Neeed to fix it when i find time.

No worries...they are available as spare.
Imagine my plight-some bugger ripped off the LHS fairing sticker. I rode my bike for a few months with a plain LHS, then got it changed.
I'm willing to donate that old fairing to someone who would like to try some experiments.

They aren't available as of now, have ordered.
You changed the fairing because of the sticker???

Yes, rode it just like that for a few months, then finally changed it for Rs.575.

Ok. But atleast a fair idea?
What about only servicing (wash+checkup). No replacements of anything.

Bangalore guys, any help?

Cool. Thanks!
Didn't know Yamalube FS has come out!! Looking forward to more information.

guys i have a problem regarding the service of my bike. i am currently out of town and my bike is due for third service. it will probably get delayed by around 10 days. will that be a problem? and will i get the free service now?

It is not related to air pressure. Particularly if it is a 5 psi +/- the actual value. The front shock shouldn't bottom out a LOT. Even Pulsar's don't bottom out every time you brake hard. At least mine doesn't. Even two other R15's I rode for a while and took over speed breakers & potholes didn't. Please get it checked.

Also, may be the sound is from the cone set.

As SVJHONDA suggested, take out the pads, see if there is something wrong. clean & and sand paper them. smoother the disk surface too with a sandpaper. This should help if the problem was only with the dirt or pads. Also check if the rear disc has a bend (if the alloy is bent the disc also bends)

Thanks

Yet to collect my R15 as I am down with cold since Sunday. Bit better now but not enough to ride a bike.

It is not that car fan belt kind of sound. It is the different vibes you get from the engine when at idle and you hold the clutch it is gone. This has become more and off late I could feel some vibes at about 8K RPM and above.

Didn't snap any photos. Also, didn't try that earlier. My cable got snapped at ASRao Nagar at 12 PM on a HOT day. I came to Sec'Bad MG Road to to get the cable on my friend's bike and went back to change it. It was about 3:00 PM while I was changing the cable - was hot and had no food

But yeah, it is pretty easy. Just gotta know how to take the edge out from the lever and then the two route points inside the fairing.


As Surender mentioned, the clutch bell needs to be sent to lathe machine and the bush inside needs to be changed. Nothing else is being done on my bike. It shouldn't cost much. Will post it once I pay them up.

It costed about Rs 3500. At that time I have posted the bill too.

Welcome to xBhp.

Same thing is being done for my R15 now. I have first noticed this problem at around 6K service. The bushes were not available. Also, there is no rattling sound even now. Just a different vibes and a different sound when idling.

Take a dripping wet cloth and clean your tyre. Then clean again as if you are applying water to the tyre. You'll then see a lot of tiny air bubbles leaking the air slowly. Soft compound tyre. Can't help it.

If your bike doesn't have an issues with tappets, don't set it. If there is a problem and they still don't attend, try calling the Yamaha Customer Care.

hehe, good one. May be you are right. There was one bike like that at the SC, asked a mechanic "is that the new radiator" he said "yes". May be it was just hanging and not fixed

Once yours is done, please order 1 more for me.

Saw one for Vixion in an Indonesian website almost two years ago (I think someone posted it in this thread) but couldn't get it.

Same as you did. While sitting on the bike. As told above, there is a 100% chance that I was wrong about the radiator.

Rs 250 for the service is standard. Consumables extra.

No one generally mentions engine oil drain period on the cans. You are supposed to see what suits you and what doesn't void warranty.

I was told that it would first come to those workshops that have an R1 capsule. Pearl Yamaha's order was in process (a month ago) and I have to find out if the stock has come in.

Call up your SC and ask them about it. Or request a friend get the bike services.

Else, you can pay Rs 150 + free service coupon to get it serviced.
Else, you skip that free service coupon & do the next free service.

These are the options I know with Pearl Yamaha in Hyderabad. So, calling up your SC would be a good idea either to convince them to allow you to get your free service done 10 days after or to know what next.

can u start a new thread in the DIY section. I got a new radiator myself and need some help..
