pics look quite cooool...!!
u got all the damaged parts replaced..??

Hey Amit, I guess in our case its the radiator only. In case of FZ it has something to do with a certain batch(s) speedo consoles&some lever.
Btw, I got my FOC radiator on the service on Saturday. The old one was found to be leaking! And also, there is no fully synthetic engine oil coming from Yamalube-its just the shape of the same 15w50 can thats gonna change.
Other than that Swingarm greasing done, both brakepads changed (front lasted only 4K kms.this time since the rear was worn out&I had been using only that rather aggressively).
Planning a solo ride to Bangalore this weekend!

Same happens with under any bike.. me to feel the same, as it happens only in those extreme lower RPM shifts meaning me too going about the shifting to softly..

Never faced the issue if shifting aggressively, only when local rides, really slow and low shifting, there while taking a turn or u turn, bike gets neutral and engine screams vroom

15900+

I went SC today and he confirm that Yamaha sent SMS for those peoples who haven't change radiator yet or who belong to old R15. nothing else.

happens with me most of the times..even while riding hard, when i rev the bike to 7-8k in 1st gear, try to shift, it gets stuck in neutral and then comes the vroom!!

Loved this shot!!

nice!

background adds the beauty

i can see a black strip on the left side, whats that
some kind of sticking band?

changed your damaged fairing?


whoa, man!
get rid of that saree guard, as sooon as possible

i go mad, when i see a saree guard

Chill dude! He might be having a girlfriend who only wears sarees In that case, he'll need it to ''gaurd'' her saree

Fork Oil needs to be changed only if you find the front of the bike diving in too much during application of the front brake. Otherwise, its fine

As the discussion is going about the fork oil change, I want to re ask my question about the sound that comes from my front shock absorbers when I go over a speed breaker or a rough road...Is the squishing sound normal or it is due to any problem?? The mechanic says that it will go as time passes but its been 3.6k kms but its still there....

Squishing sound means the forks are working well, relax&enjoy the ride!

Hi @ashaq54, Nope I haven’t replaced damaged parts as I don’t find them (sunset red color) anywhere in BD. Just did JORATALI on broken parts and put some stickers on them temporary.

Thanks man, it's also my fav one.

Thanks buddy, as I said to ashaq54, can't get/find the new fairing of sunset red color in here till now.
Reason of the black strip: Under all the extra stickers, there are cracks or spots
I also wanted to get rid of the saree guard, but thought; if bike fall in left side then it should support little bit to prevent from more damage.

nah man, Basically she doesn't use to wear saree. so your point is valueless here.

Not completely, and here's why :


I did the tank up and found that there is no 'lag' anymore. Although acceleration has gone down a bit. When I went to the nearest svc (the one I go to regularly is about 15-20 kms away and I was too little time on my hands these days hence went to the near one), I told the mechanic that my pickup has decreased and that I'm experiencing a sort of lag due to which the rpms drop for a sec or so. He took a small ride and came back and said that there is no problem. I asked him to take a ride with me, Opened up the throttle in 3rd and took her past 9k (Didn't have much road left to shift in 4th), did not experience any lag. Took a U-turn and on the way back kept her around the 5-6k mark, NO lag again.

The mechanic said that the acceleration was fine too, to which I do not agree. I went the SVC dissapointed.

Came back home and cleaned the air filter myself to see if thats the problem for the poor acceleration. It was not that dirty and after putting the tank back again I took a small ride. Very marginal increase in acceleration, almost not noticeable.

Will go to the SVC that I usually go to (Carlton Motors, Kashmere Gate, New Delhi), but that I guess will have to wait for a couple of weeks as I have my exams due in less than 2 weeks. I'll not ride much till then and hope that they can clean up the injectors

How can i make my bike more smooth??? Does it get smooth after it clocks some amount of kilometers??? Because my friend's R15 clocked 5k kms is much smoother than mine which has clocked 2804 kms till date

Front tyre in mumbai/pune

I have the same issue with my bike.Anyone know where I can source a R15 front tyre in Mumbai/Pune?
thanks

well, a pretty similar thing happened with me..
though the circumstances were different..didn't run out of fuel, but refueled from an unknown pump as i was running low(not too low though)..
it all was fine till around the 3k-4k range, twice or thrice in the third gear, 2nd gear (with pillion), i felt jerks, i.e. the bike misfired.. the next day i tried, it did misfire in the same range and circumstances..
told this to the svc, he checked, cleaned the spark plug..the mech said, there isn;t a need to clean the injectors as the bike is new, told me the reason could be bad fuel..although i don't feel the same jerks now, but there is a lag when, say i'm in the 3 gear, around 3k rpms, when i twist the throttle completely, the bike doesn't immediately accelerate, there is a lag..still don't have a solution for it..and as you say, the acceleration isn't upto the mark..i've posted my problem earlier too..no solution yet though..
do keep us posted about the difference(if any) after the injectors are cleaned...
btw when are we supposed to clean the injectors??any specific kms/time??

p.s. not a air filter problem, mine is clean too..
