@Parth: I also removed the saree guard within a month of purchase, but left the screws on, as advised by the mech.There are no vibrations, in fact without the screws the panel may vibrate.

@tibby: I remember you telling me that the tappets have never been adjusted. Please get that done&then review!

Today I decided to check the top speed of my bike after class, so I took it for a spin on noida toll road. I was using full throttle and I was at about 8k-8.5k RPM, The bike went till 120 kmph but I couldnt take it beyond that I tried but max it was 120-122. There was no pillon rider with me and my weight i around 53 kgs. I've see people taking their r15's to 140-150 (stock). I wonder why I couldn't take it beyond 120 kmph.

P.S Odo shows 700 kms and I got 1st service done before 15 days.

@HotAntivirus: Dude i feel it's too early to Search for the topspeed as you bike is only 700 kms in ODo

. Don't over do it.

Regarding the top speed question. you can do more than that if you shift gears near 9 - 10 K. Try it in a safe road, make sure that you wear all the proper Gears while doing it .

hi , parth
similar problem faced by me in my r15 , when it was 10000 kms , it is due to the faulty speed sensor , i got it replaced under warranty..... speedo oscillated between some 0-100 and stopped in 0, so i changed the speed sensor, if the speed sensor stops working the engine trouble warning light will glow........

mine goes between 0-117 and keeps on variating........but this happens just for some time.........I called the supervisor at a yamaha svc and he told "maybe sensor is broken. if it is broken then you have to pay for the new sensor otherwise it will be covered under warranty". but I think it is more of a some wire loose kinda problem........coz after a while the speedo comes back to its sane self and shows the right readings. I'll go by the nearest svc in the evening to check if its a breakage issue or a loose cable

IIRC the front rim costs between 2.5-3K Rs, was your alloy bent during tristate G2G?

Santa tried it and felt so. Am not taking chances...

Queries!

I don't think its a mass recall, but a certain range of chassis numbers. Best go to the svc with your chassis number (only from where you have purchased the bike) and ask them to check. I got my radiator replaced yesterday.

I got my Bike on October 2009 Sunset RED. My Chasis number is ME120P02X92005117

So that means its a 20-P2 versio not 20-P1

Am I eligible for the replace? Although, bike's horn is not mounted on radiator...

BTW where are these paradise curves?

On the way towards Darjeeling.

Hi Friends, Just got 6th free service done by Panache Yamaha on my R15 after 11500 Kms on Odo. Missed the 5th free service as time had lapsed. Issues I had before the service
1) Loss of power (Sluggish), low Initials and Top end dies at 110kmph
2) Improper Idling
3) Clutch Issues
Parts replaced -
1) Engine Oil - Yamalube 15W-50 - 365rs
2) Oil Filter - 378Rs
3) Damper Clutch (4 No's) - 133Rs
4) Spark Plug - Iridium CPR7EA1X-9 - 528Rs

The Service Supervisor insisted to go for a Iridium Spark Plug replacement instead of a stock Spark Plug. According to NGK website Iridium Spark Plug Part number is CR8EIX, However Panache replaced with CPR7EA1X-9.
Iam wondering if they have replaced the compatible one.
After the service the bike is behaving good, still need to test the Top speed.

AFAIK, the entire set of 2 inner tubes and 2 outer tubes (for left & right) costs 4k. Nowadays prices have reduced. Maybe its become cheaper now.

Anybody has an idea on how much do the valve springs last?
One of my friends been running his R15 (now some 48K KMs) and his tappets gets loosened up every 300KMs!

Hmmm, valve springs are supposed to be lasting long. Say atleast 50k kms. A way of knowing would be removing them and measuring the length/height.

If the horn is elsewhere, then no worries. And yes, I think the 20-P01 series ka models are being replaced. Still, no harm asking.

No, no, don't worry. My coolant reservoir had run dry at 1st service. Fearing the bike drinks a lot of coolant, I bought a bottle. Didn't use it till yesterday, and even then it had to be used for the new radiator I got, not because the level was low! So let the coolant go. Just check the level when the bike is vertical, and after the engine has cooled down.

Its recommended that the coolant be changed every 2 years.

Which part is this? Did you see it?
About the spark plug, as long as its the same rating, its okay.
