      The bike is sluggish at lower speeds... that is in comparison to how it sprints at higher RPM's. It is not so slow that it struggles. I always keep up with other 150's & ZMA's when starting from signals... I cross them n a jiffy. And I am not a high revver.

      More than the slow/speed, it is a pain to drive in traffic because of the riding posture... you cannot keep that posture with stop & go traffic.

      @souvikb83
      The R15's suspension has a lot of travel and it is linked type monocross... you cannot lift it further but I'm curious to know why you asked this... pls explain...

      R15's lighting is pretty decent and don't expect to get much more lighting from a bike. Also, when u come across such vehicles that have 6-10 headlights or those blinding white lights, even if you have similar lighting u cannot see much.... only way to drive is to slow down the the moment u spot such lighting.

      Abt ur clitch cable... it is not something that fails so easily... they last and last and hence the dealership wouldn't have got the stock... one of the reasons why u have a problem could be rats!!!

                I just wish RTR had better tyres....

                Those tyres on any bike will look punny! Nevertheless they are damn good ones, but yaar wish hi kar rahe ho toh thoda aur wish karo.... wish for better soft compound tures in bigger profile.... Battleaxe Sigh! Hopefully, like SYNN said.... things will change soon....!

                  MRF 100/90 Zapper Y are much better than stock rear tyres for RTR.

                    I am hearing a mild sound from the tank, sounds like a train horn hearing frm long distance. Its coming once in every 10-20 mins, even the bike is idle for many hours. I asked YSS guys, they said most R15s having this sound coz of FI pump. Any ideas ????

                      oh yeah..thats normal..i heard it throughout the 4hrs i was at the Yamaha SS for the first service..one bike or the other just kept doing it...it was like they had a mind of thier own
                      Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                        Though this is a mystery why the pump or anything else needs to be doing anything at all when the engine and the ignition are off... it is funny the way it scares people & dogs gathering around it

                          I hear two kinds of sounds..

                          one, A silent whistle that comes from tank or under it.
                          two, sound when air comes out of a small hole...

                          but they dint bother me as they werent any mechanical sounds.

                          And, What about chain guyz. I think it needs lots of care. I see Motul Lubes are doing pretty good work, But cant afford them regularly.

                              100 is too much, And they use only the normal grease.

                              And I need some technical help here.

                              How do we clean the chain, Can we clean it with diesel? Does it have any affect on the O-Seals??

                                i asked the showroom guys the sound is like a high pitched whistle it is because of the air in the petrol tank expanding and exiting from the water drainpipe remedy is open the fuel lid once and the sound disappears for a couple of hours

                                secondly regarding teh headlight ask teh SS guys to elevate the throw of teh low beam i find taht now teh low is usable in the city
                                high beam however rocks

                                and if anyone can find out about 'tuning' the horn i will be grateful.
