      Almost all bikes have this type of bulbs for their pilot lamps & console lamps. The older ones base would be like a regular light bulb... this one would have a flat base...

      pull out the pilot lamp from ur R15 and see it for yourself... and show to the shopkeeper if needed! it takes just a few seconds.. no tools needed.

                What was the problem? what made you change the oil at 400 km? many people here told that it is a good oil (did not mention for an R15, but still!) and Motul cannot be that bad either... so curious to know.

                May be not. I left the bike aside for 15 days once and with the first push it started without a hitch... one battery shop wala told me that this battery holds more charge and holds it longer. not sure how correct he is!

                when i shift from 1st to the second...most of the times it gets stuck to neutral....why is that....how can i solve this problem...
                Check the clutch cable adjustment.

                and regarding the accessories of the R15...everything is available at the factory owned showroom in saket..the citi select mall....
                Thanks for the info :-)

                • Guys,
                  Has anyone tried Cramster Colt saddlebags on R15?
                  Santoosh, anyone else???

                  Comment


                  • ^^I have tried. It just hits the silencer if u use it as it is. U need another 2 - 3 inches of height on the rear seat. I solved it by using a pillow on the rear seat, tying it with bungee cords and put the saddle bag on top of that. But the bike wobbles a bit at high speeds and aerodynamics goes for a major toss!

                                I used them multiple times and for one long ride tooo... no problems... aerodynamics do take a little hit.. u won't be able to cross 125 kmph but the convenience u get is great... with similar amount of luggage and not using saddle bags, I cannot drive peacefully!!! No height problems... they don't hit anything (check photos below) and no wobbling at all when I hit 120+ speeds continuously for hours together or take ghat road corners at 90+ speeds. Yes, gotta be a little more careful than without luggage.

                                Yes, place a soft cloth on the side panels before you tie the saddle bags to save the panels from rubbing off the paint sheen... this is unavoidable on almost any bike with side panels. You can see the cloth I used in the pics.

                                300v, I believe is available only in 15w50 grade. Please do not use that for ur R15. Get Power1 Racing or call me tomorrow for Sprinta 4T 5000.
