@pain reloaded - get the steering stem bolt checked. If its loose you could be getting the sound you described.

I was not able to get it checked but is it possible that the steering bolt is the culprit because the sound comes near the rear mono shock....It comes every 4 out of 10 times...

my r15 has done 13k kms but bike doesnt go like old days, is there any idea to clean the fuel injection because lots of dust has settled in.. pls help !

Hi Nilay!
It is a nigh impossible task(lengthening the swingarm) and IIRC the price of R125 is somewhere in the vicinity of 2L.

The R15 is a very stable Motorcycle, maybe barring cross-winds, but thats to it. How many kms have you ridden? Take the R15 to a good highway ride which has twisties, enjoy your ride, come back & share your experience.

Edit--(after seeing another reply)

Forget what your friends are saying or better ask them how to do it and if they start experimenting... well, tough luck.
What experiments/riding style/habit are you talking about? Which Motorcycle do you feel corners even half as decent as the R15 in India?


It weighs less & produces more power, but it doesn't point out to higher top-end or acceleration, you may 'you tube' R125 & R15 top speed runs & check them out.

Ps.--You may multi-quote & reply to as many guys as you want in one go.

Dude.......you don't know the technical term "Specific Output of an Engine" For that you have to study Mechanical Engineering thoroughly and one more thing All My friends are engineer not the road romeo guys..........

I've already read your posts before commenting. If you meant something other than what everyone here understood, maybe you could've framed your queries better.


If that's the case, maybe you should have opted for different framing of sentences. Anyways, as far as your query is concerned, the R15 is far superior in terms of handling and cornering. Big and bulky doesn't always mean better cornering. In fact, manufacturers try to keep the wheelbase as short as possible(within limits ofcourse) while keeping the swing-arm as long as possible. It is this balance of long swingarm and short wheelbase that gives you stability at corners and flickability on straights. Also, a shorter vehicle is always better at handling, due to the low center of gravity, and the R125 is taller than R15. If you compare the track videos of both the R15 and R125, you see people carrying more speeds on the R15 around the corner, than an R125. If you think the R15 is not suiting your riding-habit, it's the habit that needs to be changed..not the bike. You'd hate the R125's handling even more than what you're hating of the R15. If you're not satisfied with the R15's handling, nothing else will ever satiate you, except for the biggies.

Again u guys misunderstood.......I am not saying that R15 is not good in handling but i am asking the problem with bike's FiShtailing act under braking around 90-100 Kmph when you hit the fast corner.

Also as you said a shorter vehicle is always better at handling, due to the low center of gravity

then you have to study the law of physics because low center of gravity depends upon chassis design and what size of wheel you choose.........

Guys, I have this strange problem, there is a rattling sound coming from the uppermost end of the exhaust. The SVC guys told me that there seems to be a small stone or something in the exhaust pipe (courtesy: my building kids), and I've been told that it may not be possible to remove it. I really need to get it out. Please help !

^^ Digislayer, Drop it man .. This guy is changing his view in every other post and then goes like, " You misunderstood me "

hey guys when i turn the ignition on and after all the checks when i hit the starter the current doesn't flow all the display is gone and comes back immediately and the bike starts. but if i do not hold the starter it goes back to checking everything again and today after i experienced this again the yellow and red light came up for a while and was okay again. has anyone experienced it?? insights and opinions are welcome.

Any suggestions !

My ride clocked 13k kms and 4 or 5 links of the chain got jammed... Svc guys cleaned it using diesel and lubed it.. But stil facing the problem.. And experiencing some weird sound.. Help me guys how to clear dis prblm???
