@bhargava - Get your front sprocket checked, or flipped ( installed with the outer face on the inside ). That should help with loss of power at the top end, and a lower top speed.

Hey instead of goin for a new fork u can just get the bend removed right. It should cost u abt 300 to 500 rs thats all , mab be even lesser

u should wait and carry out the run-in properly the speed will increase for sure, and when u ride(after the run-in) be sure its an empty road and try to get the posture right it will reduce the air drag

Already tried all that jugaad.... Nothing works. Besides, its metal. It can never be brought back to its original shape once bent.....

Thanks svjhonda, I am more conscious on my bike performance and maintenance, therefore any minor change on bike or their behaviour cause of worry.

parts catalogue of yzf-r15

i think nobody has a pdf copy of this one. most of the guys have the vixion/t135 parts catalog which has a lots of parts missing. this is the actual parts catalog of yzf-r15. hope it helps you guys for ordering parts and so on.

Thanks for the suggestion, Will get it Fliped or changed this weekend
Any idea how much does it cost ?

Flipped - Free usually or only labour
Changes - Doesnt come as a single item, comes with Chain and rear sprocket

Thank you bro,
I still get scared of traffic and corners.....sometimes while taking slow corners uphill, I stall my R15...didn't had the guts to take her over 60kmph(new rider, new Bike...please help me to learn cornering)
getting very low FE and a lot of vibrations at 2nd gear(in 20-35kmph region, 3.5-4.5krpm)
Also don't feel confident with a pillion.....feel like the Bike's becoming unstable(shift of C.G.).
This is my first Bike ever so a bit confused.....hope things will get straight soon.

Thank You

RIDE SAFE

@bhargava - you can purchase it separately.

The R15 chain set can be purchased as individual parts, chain, rear sprocket, and front sprocket individually. I purchased my front sprocket separately.

This is news for me! Damn!

Did my periodic oil change(scheduled at 1K), the 15 has crossed 10.

Do you guys feel there is some sort of intake roar, akin to bigger cc motorcycles(Honda and Suzuki kind of voices) when you open the throttle suddenly to the max at 2.5-3 K in 2nd gear.

Take your time and get to know the bike over time. Its always better to be confident about the speeds you are riding at (even if it is slow) while being 100% confident than getting overconfident & being careless. Getting comfortable with a pillion on the bike will also take some time. Dont worry, it happens to everyone.

Do read up on cornering. It will definitely help. Ride safe !

Hehe, me too. And best part is, the bike is so precise. Minor changes can be felt.
Just take it easy, and get used to it. You'll be amazed after 3 months. Riding any other bike will feel primitive.

About the riding, get help from friends, but common stuff would be:
1) Everyone new to an R15 puts a lot of the upper body weight on the clip-on bars. Consciously avoid that. Try gripping the tank with your knees, or 'sit' on the seat, letting the bum take all the weight rather than the wrists.
2) The R15 is very high-revving. So on some bikes you can get away with lugging it at low speeds in a high gear, but this bike won't pull, and most probably will stall. So yes, you'll have to do a lot of gearshifting to stay in the powerband, but hey, that's what the bike is all about.
3) U-turns. Practice them. They will help you learn the dynamics. First practice with both feet floating (to support the bike in case it feels like its going to tip over). Slowly you'll get the hang of it, and you'll be able to do it without taking your feet off the pegs, and in some cases even by shifting your weight into the turn.
4) Practice using the front brake to stop. Ideally use 70% front and 30% rear (only on proper surfaces, on any loose surface, sand, gravel, mud, slush, tiles, marble, etc, use rear brakes, and go slowly). Peope will tell you a lot of stuff, but trust me, the R15's front brake is enough to stop it from full blast to nil in just a few metres.
5) Avoid pillions. The bike isn't made for pillions.
But yes, having pillions will help you improve yout handling.
6) As for cornering, take it easy, do it only when you have the confidence, do it safely, and yes, read up on cornering theory in the ride safe section.
I haven't tried it (okay, okay, I have!), but yes, its very much possible. The R15 has a resonator box mounted between the twin spars of the deltabox. It sounds great revving up.

Will your warranty not get void.. since you missed a free service!!

Yes I am now Owning a Brand New 2010 R15

HI Guys,

Walked in to pick up Sunset Red and rode out with a Racing Blue.. The bike was reading 0.1 Km on the ODO...

Got the vehicle @ 2pm and Rode 114 kms on day 1


Expectation (pre - ride) = sore back / paining wrists / No first hand experience (as have never ridden a R15 prior to this one)

Post ride Experience - NO Back Pain, No Wrist pain... However the palms were paining a bit.. The bike felt good. Had to adjust the stance as was used to sitting on a "horse like" stance...

Ques1> Can the rear break lever be adjusted (inclination changed?)
Ques2> The foot-pegs keep bending upward... Can any one tell me why?
(i'm 5'8")

Thanks...
