My bike's done some 6000 odd kms and still havn't changed my oil filter nor did i lubricate the chain with a lube.. I lube it with the regular mobil used on regular chains...

Did the service center not object to your option of not changing the oil filter? As far as I know, service centers threaten to void warranty if the owners asks not to change oil filter in the first service.

Also, Is lubing the chain with mobil oil recommended? and since we are on the topic, what exactly is mobil oil.......the sae90 gear oil or used/new engine oil?

My baby recently bumped into a pothole/bump....while riding it on the outer ring road(bangalore)...due to which the front wheel is bent....i asked the svc guy(orion motors) to repair the same while 3rd servicing....but they havent done anything to that......

Shall i press these guys to repair it...or do it outside....becoz their attitude is very unprofessional....

Guys please suggest

Partha

What speed were you at when you bumped into the pothole? Try to slow down to 60 or even less when you see a pothole. I dont think that the Yamaha service center will repair your rim for you. The best that they will/can do is to replace it with a new one. Try to get it repaired outside, but be prepared if your tubless tires loose out on air every couple of days as a bent and repaired rim can never be brought back to its original form. Try this and revert back

Thanx @Parth

I was driving at around 85.......yeah will slow down....but at high speeds....at times it s inevitable......But its a minor bent in the wheel.....i want to repair that to prevent further damage to my tyres....so i dont think replacing is an option ??

Anyone knows...where to repair the alloy wheel in bangalore....Has anyone done that???

Why do you ask? your speedo went bonkers too kya?
The speedo sensor costs Rs600 and is covered under warranty. But the warranty extends only to manufacturing defects i.e. if the sensor has sustained any sort of physical damage then the svc will not replace under warranty.

My speedo just stopped today. No reading on the speedo or the odometer(the odometer isn't recording new readings but it still sustains till 2976km). The engine warning light came on while I was commuting back from office. I stopped and switched off everything and started again so that the self check could be done. There were no problems in the self check and I headed back home. I'm taking my bike straight to the service center in the coming week. Meanwhile I'll use other means for commuting to office.

Hey guys just returned from a trip to munnar total dist covered 1200km. Man the bike worked like a charm absolutely no problems what-so ever, no vibs at any speed ,no back pain, no wrist pain i just love this bike soo much. I was carrying a total payload of nearly 180 kgs(total) with a pillion and still the engine was butter smooth. what can i say but this one hell of a BIKE

**santoosh** · 07-23-2010, 08:25 AM

@parth--

Santa

**aditaya.chopra** · 07-23-2010, 11:00 AM

hello everyone this is my first post and i am planing to book new r15 in yellow plz tell me is yamaha going to do changes in bike in comming few month or not

**rakowli** · 07-23-2010, 11:55 AM

What is the Top Speed of R15? Also how is the low end speed of the bike. Is it acceptable if driving in traffic. i stay in Mumbai.
About refinement no doubt R15 would one hell of the bike. but just that 150cc tag and the rear tire is holding me back. Also the price. Lets see how it goes in the coming months. i may go for R15 or P220F

@ Parth: No yaar, when i asked them about it, they said that its not mandatory...

Anyways.. will be changing my oil filter soon... The mechanics out here aren't much educated about the technology advancement... Yeah oiling my chain with the used mobil that comes out of engine! Going for the servicing this Sunday (Sunday is a working day in Nepal) I will be asking them to change my bike from Bajaj back to Yamaha..coz seriously its been behaving like one!

@rakowli: The true speed as claimed it to be 135kph (undermining speedo error) .. but i have seen youtube video where the stock one were making close to 150.. I have personally done 127kph and i felt the bike would go still further.. but i ran out of roads... will break my speeding milestone soon...

i did...first i went to yamaha svc and he checked it and found only 1 puncture...an in a distance of 1km i got it repaired....even the outside guy found only one puncture......but am really pissed off....i mean shouldnt the yamaha svc guys handle such problems.....am gonna take it once again to the svc guys......

whats the pressure u fill in...cause i read someone here fills f 33 and r 38 cause of some reason i couldnt understand.....

Standard pressure is 28 front, 33 rear.

If you can't see a leak, its either from the beads or the valve. Get the tire re-laid in the alloy at the svc.

@Jiten ...thanks for advice
As far as front forks issue , I didn't do any wheelie stuff.... Normal rides for couple of hundreds on weekends last two weekends and started facing this issue.
How much does the front forks assembly cost?

For TB slip on... I have the stock one but looking for a good exhaust system. Just evaluating my options

Maybe its a combination of loose steering bearings and low front tire pressure.

AFAIK its not covered under warranty. It costs 4xx bucks (last I'd checked).

If the speedo sensor conks off, the malfunction indicator is supposed to blink...

get the sensor replaced.

No call from them yet. Anyways, I'm not keen on it! I'd prefer xBhp meets.

It costs about 600 bucks & is covered under warranty.
My bike's speedo too started showing erratic figures around 10k mark, & i got it replaced FOC under warranty, at Perfect Riders.
It seems like your bike has crossed the 2 yr warranty mark, hasn't it?

It is! See above.

I have seen 128kmph in 5th gear.

I like the way it moves and entirely depends what you prefer more, torque or bhp.

but just that 150cc tag and the rear tire is holding me back. Also the price. Lets see how it goes in the coming months. i may go for R15 or P220F

I think 90% of us had apprehensions because of the regular cubic capacity.

Hitch a ride and believe me you shall not look back
