    my guess is that your air filter is clogged. Get that checked and revert back
    A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

        i agree with parth
        you need more frequent service to the air filter when you drive in a wet/dusty area

        clean the air filter to get quick throttle response

          same was with mine till recently...but now, when cold it goes to 2k then back to around 1.6/1.5k....? what could it be?and does it imply that the ecu can control the throttle too???

          and what about that lag i feel when i accelerate ?

            u forgot another thing !!!! ---> they dont own the bike most of the times!!!

              Such vibrations on major parts of the bike could indicate very loose engine mount bolts. This is causing the engines unconstrained motions to be transmitted all across the bike. On a well serviced and properly maintained R15, such vibrations are unheard of. Please get all the engine mount bolts tightened. If you want, you can do it yourself. There is a thread in the DIY section

              Another theory is that some link inside the bike, on the chassis is broken This could cause serious vibrations too.... Anyway, get your bike checked once..

              I think your idle RPM tuning is a little off No worries, you can re-tune it back to factory settings yourself with just a screw driver. The exact procedure is mentioned in the DIY section Look it up.

              Here's the link: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/do-yours...-idle-rpm.html

              The LAG you experience when you suddenly open the throttle could be because of insufficient air going into the engine, because of which, it is unable to breathe properly. Definitely an air filter issue..

                Guys... i think it is a common thing with FI.. Do not rev when starting the engine. this applies to MPFI cars also.. check it out in s MPFI car, when we start the engine, we can see the engine raised a bit initially and comes back to normal. I think it is like the auto choke function in carb bikes to optimize start in cold condition..

                Here is something... Actually my bike's exhaust sprays water from a hole underneath the silencer for a while when started in cold condition. Just like in the petrol cars.. it happens to the car because of the optimized tuning.. i don't understand how does it happens in a bike.. ??? Even the service center ppl too don't know about it..
                If you need a reason to ride, you are not on the right bike.

                  It does happen with FI, but the R15 idling should not go to 2k RPM, even when cold. All bikes idle at 1.6k when cold and settle at around 1.3k during a normal run. 2k is a little high and will be wasting fuel.

                  Water dropping from the hole under the silencer is a new thing. Never knew that happens. Not happened to my bike...
                  D'oh!

                    Just check it when you start your bike at morning. I think you've never noticed before.. there is a small hole for water which get in to muffler. Start the bike and keep your had below the hole. I've seen that in 2 more R15's near me.
                    We can see this in petrol cars too.
                    Water is byproduct of petrol combustion. Petrol contains hydrogen and it combines with the oxygen while combustion and it comes through exhaust when the silencer is not hot. It do happen always, but when the silencer get hot water is evaporated, That is all
                    If you need a reason to ride, you are not on the right bike.

                      you will end up with damaging your sprockets too
                      engine oil is strictly NO
                      use diesel to clean the chain
                      and gear oil to lubricate
                      gear oil is ok with O type chains

                      earlier engines were made in indonesia
                      i am not quite sure about calling it a fully indian bike

And ur guy's 'coconut oil' idea sounds just brilliant! Must be an ace mech that Yamaha must steal away for their SVC!
                      Chain lube and cleaner should be available at any SVC in ur town buddy, check em out!
                      Most of the bike is manufactured/assembled in India. Just a few components are still being imported.
                      Thanks @pranjalshukla and @neoakshay.
                      I already searched for the Chain lube and the Cleaner, but didn't get here. I'll try to get them from your country if someone go there and temporary basis I should use diesel/kerosene and the gear oil for the chain.

                          You could go for Keiti tank pads. Real good quality and plenty of designs. I have it on my bike. Check it out a few pages back in this thread
                          D'oh!

                              I can't tell you what to go for, but I can tell you to stay the hell away from thos 150rs local tank pads. I was in the exact same position as you are in, couldn't get the YAMAHA tank pad from the A.S.S. and i was getting my no. plates done up and saw these cool looking tank pads for just 150rs. Got one and 5 months later the white has changed to yellowish and the whole tankpad looks bad

                              Some of our fellow r15ers have tried keiti tank pads, so you can give them a try

                              Good luck and dont forget to post pics when you get the tank pads installed.
