Congrats bro! Do take proper care of your baby.Originally posted by D Coolest 1 View PostHey Guys,
Well I am following xbhp since long, but never posted in this thread, now I have a reason to do so.. Got a R15!!
Previously I had a Unicorn for 7 months then P200 for 6 months and now the R15 and I am sure gonna keep this one for long. I know what you all will be thinking, that I am changing bikes so frequently, but there were some other concerns which popped up hence I was changing and moving forward.
Anyways, here's about the R15... got the delivery on 1st and now already clocked 950 kms or so with in a week! Going for 1st service tomorrow mostly. Well there is only one word to define a R15... Awesome!! with respect to indian bikes available with in 1.5L price range (on road). Extremely flick-able, good punch when in the power band.. and of course the road presence it has. Vibrations are very low, and the engine sound is also with in limits.
The lower end although suffers a bit and need frequent gear shifts. With pillion it is again a bit of pain to pull fast, but it's pros are much higher than these small cons.
Kept it below 5000 rpm for first 500 kms. Keeping it below 7500 rpm at present, just a couple of time went up to 9000. Touched a top speed of 123 with a pillion, and the feeling was great!
Overall I am totally satisfied with my machine, here is a snapshot without riding gears... (which I always wear though)

Try accelerating with another guy on a R15 ( Duh ) and ask him to shift at 9,000RPM and you try shifting at 10,000RPM or 10,500RPM and you can see who moves ahead!
No Offense Brother! Just sharing my opinion!
I gotta try this.. I hit my topspeed of 146 km/hr without lookin at the tacho (was chasing a Ninja 250R at a G2G ). I mostly ride by the sound/feel of the engine.. And no offence taken brotha! 
A good rider has balance, judgment, and good timing. So does a good lover!

hey guys
well this is something interesting
all you have to do is take your machine for a small drive. put her in 1st gear and observe at what rpm do you feel like the tank, handlebars are getting little vibrations. keep your legs close to the tank.
i checked for mine. the very first minor vibration was felt at 4,000 rpm.
check for your too!yEs yAmAhA!
YZF R15, my love

Hahah, yeah, I've struggled so much trying to think of alternative for the tire hugger! Whenever I look at another bike, I see if it has a tire hugger that I can take and fit on mine! Such is the desperationOriginally posted by Sharan_R View PostStop posting that Photo. I get reminded of that damn Tire Hugger.

Its total editing :P I had first seen it and thought my dealer hadn't shown me the color! But then, it doesn't exist :POriginally posted by rajit999 View Post
Dude, The rims of the R15 itself are designed for tubeless tires. I dont think you can fit a tire with a tube here. If your tire is cracked, get it changed to a new one of the same type. The R15 tubeless zappers are awesome! They grip like crazy, whatever angle you're riding the bike. Dont change them.Originally posted by rajit999 View Post
Yeah, that is true. But, if you get the redline shifting a tad bit wrong, you'll lose a lot of speed and time since the ECU rev limiter kicks in and decreases power immediately. So, you gotta learn to shift at the redline for the best drag performance. And also, try not pulling the clutch lever too much. Just feather touches should be enough along with synchronized gear changes. I constantly do 110kmph everywhere in my city :POriginally posted by neoakshay View PostD'oh!Comment

You do not need to clutch-in while going up in your gear box,So, you gotta learn to shift at the redline for the best drag performance. And also, try not pulling the clutch lever too much. Just feather touches should be enough along with synchronized gear changes.
While starting/practicing, use the clutch while going from 1st to 2nd.
Post this, just let go off your throttle for a fraction and bring the gear home. But what I have noticed is, you need to shift at 6000rpm+, else the 'box gets clunky.
Similarly while braking, try to go down the 'box by blipping the throttle.
Watch You-Tube videos and scour the inter-net.
While inside city confines, I shift between 6-7K, Riding on twisties or for fun, anywhere between 9-10K.
Not a very good way to ride inside city confines, give it upI constantly do 110kmph everywhere in my city :P

During my last(6th) service, although I changed over to Yamalube Semi-Synthetic, I didn't get the oil filter changed. I didn't know that it had to be changed, and I just came across this post.Originally posted by sheelpriye View Post

The filter change should be done even if you change companies (Yamalube>Motul) and the oils are of same grade.
Change the filter next time around. (recommended every 10K and or when you change oil(grade/company).Last edited by sheelpriye; 10-09-2010, 01:11 PM.Comment

if you change the oil grade, then you need to change the filter right away
if you stick to only one grade then it is recommended to change the filter every 10k
in your case i would suggest you to change the filter next time you put new oilyEs yAmAhA!
