300?? I paid only 80 for the tank pad I have, and it does the job of protecting the tank from the jacket zipper and other stuff, go ahead with the Rs300 by all means, just make sure you stick it properly, w/o any gaps or air pockets

I bought my 2nd bike today, the YZF-R15 in midnight black. All these while i had heard what a gem of a bike the R15 is but today after having bought the bike and riding it for 70km i did realize the weight in the sentence.

My first bike was an RTR180. I really loved the bike except for the vibrations it used to produce. So i sold it off. Having ridden the RTR, i was more oriented towards revvy engines with good handling and sporty riding position. So the R15 and the P220 were the only bikes that i was considering. The P220 was great VFM but then again i just looked at the technology that powers the R15. Liquid cooling, 4 valves, fuel injection, monocross suspension, deltabox chassis, the list goes on. Combine this with the fact that its the same team behind this mini sports bike that designed the R1, my dream bike. So after giving lots of thoughts to it i finally decided to go for the R15 even though its 70cc less than the P220 and 30cc less than my earlier RTR180. And i have to say i made a wise decision. I have ridden P220, RTR180, ZMA. The R15 may have the smallest engine among the 4 but it feels so different than any of the other bikes (with no disrespect to the other bikes) and let me not repeat the other well known traits of the bike.

Thanks a lot to svjhonda who went with me to the showroom for the delivery. He helped me a lot in the PDI and other stuff. As of now im running in the engine carefully according to the manual. Looking forward to be an active member in this thread as i was in the RTR180 thread.

My guesses to the problem of the idling screw falling out is that have you guys dialed in a very low idling value, say 900 +/- 100 and the screw is held only by a couple of threads, which due to vibration can fall out? Correct me if I'm wrong,

^^ true. alternate is to fix it and apply tape over it to secure in place.

I'm feeling a bit jealous seeing you guys care for your bike...I've not cleaned mine since a month, there is an inch thick mud on the chain cover, mud splashed all around the bike, rear disc pads worn to the hilt, engine oil is almost 4K kms.old.
What's more-after shifting to this new area, daily my bike is getting bumped from behind in heavy traffic-sometimes I think I should have bought a HH Passion if I intended to use it like this!

Thanks mate.

Whats the difference between Yamalube SG and SL? Both are mineral 20W40. The SG costs 180 and the SL costs 220.

Any tyre hugger for the R15 available or can FZ hugger be modified to fit, I think this part is missed more in rainy season

Just like yours. I'm cursed. Whenever I clean it, it rains the next day and my bike's mucked up.
