the same old sound from under the seat,
went to the svc yesterday, they opened the rear wheel, tightened the screws of the mono, refitted the wheel- sound still there.
they told me to come again today morning.
went again-
had to take almost all the mechanics in the wshop for a ride trying to explain the problem. in the end when no one was too sure about it, they askd me to take the so called "engineer" with me. he too wasnt sure about the reason.
i then complained to one of the owners of the showroom, the bike being new and done just 1.6k in a month and a half. the fellow asked the mechanics to then try changing the rear suspension. as usual, they didnt have it in stock. they actually removed the mono of a not so lucky r15(old one which had come for insurance claim, had met with an accident) and fitted it in mine which included stripping the whole rear of the bike and lots of hammer work and around 6 hours in all.all the while i stood see my baby in the worst ever condition. even after all the pain, when i took the bike for a test(with the mechanic), the same sound still came. but when i took it with the owner, the sound came but less frequently but it still came. the owner then said we'll do a thing, we'll fit my old mono again and this time with utmost care(includes opening the rear wholly again, refitting), the sound should go...had no time, have an exam tomorrow (haven't touched the books yet)but mom, dad were putting pressure on me and those endless phone calls -lectures on how im wasting my time.. so i left the bike there and told them ill collect it tomorrow afternoon.. they dropped me back home(atleast).. and till now that's that. besides that noise, had hard gear shifts which they said they'll take care of by adjusting the clutch and some vibrations in the handle bars, which again im worried about.what could be the reason guys??
this is the first night i cant have a look at my baby before i sleep, feeling really restless specially with the exam(mom) on my head
just hope all the problems are rectified till tomorrow...
till then any suggestions??what to do now??specially abt the gear shifts and the vibes.. please senior members help me out..
and yeah till now i haven't found any xbhpian from nagpur, maharashtra. if any senior is coming towards nagpur from pune, etc. please let me know and if possible lets meet up- have hell lotta things to ask ..
btw thanks in advance..

Buddy.. Take it easy... I can understand you... My Bike is just 54 days old and covered 3550kms till now. Me too facing this problem. First there wasn't any sound. But i remember... Actually i noticed the sound once when i hit a big pothole ( coz here we have to off-road in Kerala highways when the monsoon comes). I went to the SVC and told the problem and i was damn sure that they will tell about he tool kit under seat. The did the same. So i moved out from there. They are "no good Louis". So i decided to check it during the first service. I insisted then to check all the links and tighten and to lubricate it. They did and there was no use. The sound was still there. But Then i got a chance to ride a new R15 ( a neighbor bought after he saw my bike). He said that he too noticed that sound from the rear suspension. So i cleared it myself by riding it to potholes. There was that irregular sound. So i think it is a common problem with the new lot of bike's suspension. Now a days i don't hear any sound from there. May be the roads here are re-tared or the problem is gone by time.. what ever... i will check it tomorrow and reply to you. Be patient man... Everything can be fixed. That is why warranty is here. You shouldn't let those idiots to strip your bike like that.. anyway stay focused on your exams.... You have a wonderful piece of machine.

Hi ,
can u tell me whats the total depth of r15 reflector i.e distance from reflector to glass in inches .
but you kinda got ripped off big time ! these projectors only cost 6k rs for full kit .

i have gone through those pages that's why i'm asking there nobody clearly explained any center stand specialy designed for R15 except the paddock stand. i know we can use center stand of RX100. i'm just asking is there any center stand which yamaha provides for R15 besides padock stand.

Seems to have lot of problems in the new R15.
I was planning to buy one in next month,but now i will sit back and think once again.

I hate vibrations and lot of people complaining vibrations at 7000rpm


Any updates from the new r15 owners??
