        Personally i feel the quality of the seat cowl is not worth its cost and only the blue one looks good on the blue bike. The other mix just looks ok and if not maintained well they look bad .




        I think these are the regular R15's sold with white body kit.

        The LE came with black engine and the exhaust cover is not black
        check the below image
        Yes man, we know that. What I'm saying that the LEs being sold now are having BLACK colored RIMS, instead of the regular white as seen in your pic. The white rims looked horroble, according to me. The Black color is a welcome change
        D'oh!

          Hehehe, I have experienced that. Happens if you have afull tank or almost a full tank. The fuel inside has mass and it moves left and right inside the tank giving swaying motion to the whole bike. Its not noticeable while moving, but can be felt while idling Its safe Just regular physics.
          D'oh!

            MOTUL 5100T is Semi-Synthetic
            Is it compulsory to change Oil Filter?

              its just recommended.
              Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                Alloys: I don't know what was Yamaha thinking while dealing with the Allow dealer, they are poor quality. Make sure you don't drive fast on bad condition roads. Trust me you will regret.
                Not a quality issue. They're just lightweight when compared to alloys of other bikes so therefore have a higher tendency to get damaged if you hit a really bad pothole at high speeds!

                          Oh, I did not know that! But I wasn't able to measure the blink rate Its not happening anymore, next time when it does, I will keep this in mind



                          Hehehe, congrats bro. I knew it was the engine mounts and bolts Glad to know another R15 is back on track



                          Dude, all LEs now will be BLACK RIMS. Confirmed from the SVC today. He said, if I wanted white rims, I could get it painted myself :P Heck no! lol Took some pics for your benefit. Check them out

                          P.s: The new black rims have WHITE reflector tape on it. Now this, was always a better combo! And also the BLACK exhausts!
                          the engine isnt black!
                          yEs yAmAhA!

                            yes!
                            well, i was charged rs 120 for washing with a shampoo (i dunno what brand)
                            and silicone polishing

                            they take around 30 mins for the complete job

                            they charge rs 30 just for washing with a shampoo if you do not need polishing

                                I read at several places that the plastic parts are being replaced with the white ones to sell it as a LE.

                                I just got a LE (old one, as you'd say- with black engine, silver exhaust and white mags. BTW, I'm loving the white mags, its really nice to see it in person, trust me- I paid almost the whole amount through my Credit card just to get this particular edition!
