h7 have only single filament and have two pins not three, the 220 has two h7 bulbs for high and low beam seperately

Cumon, i hate digi consoles. By the way,you will never have the adrenalin rush of seeing the analogue speedo when riding, compared to the digi which is having too many problems in harsh weather conditions. i would be more than satisfied if the bike is as it is, rather than bajaj trying to fiddle in some proven product across the world. Except for the exhaust, i love the looks of this bike more than anything else

Thanks a lot dude

Sorry for OT but:

1. Even a Hayabusa has an analogue display.

2. I don't understand the second part. Firstly, R15 has a 100 section and still the tires are great. It has been proved. People still went for it. Secondly, Ninja will have a much bigger profile, stance whatever you might want to call it, with a 130 section rear. It's bigger than a 200/220.

3. Let's not compare Kawasaki with Bajaj. CKD with local parts incorporated most probably means the plastic parts or the clear lens side lights, or maybe yes the digi speedo. But they will not compromise on USP of the 250, its engine, chassis, frame, tires.

Agree with GP&Pranay. I was trying to think from a Bajaj owner's perspective Personally, I like the bike as it is sold in the U.S. too.Only apprehension being Bajaj messing around too much with it to suit their 'Pulsar' customers preference which, you know is not really driven by knowledge of technology (which is why I still get some Pulsar 150 owners saying R15 has smaller tyres than theirs!)! The last thing I want is them calling it a Pulsar 250!

I just have a tank pad as of now.. planning to get the clutch n brake levers...

Guys, the accessories are limited edition. Check multiple showrooms and get what you need ASAP. Seat cowls & tank pads are available at Venkateshwara Motors. I bought a tank pad today and there were at least about 4 more.

Why the hell from the XCD??? if you really want one, check those from the CBF Stuner or the FZ16...

Sunny, if you are still unsure of the dual filament thing, check any auto bulb catlogue... only H4 would have a dual wattage specified (for two filaments) and that probably is the easiest way to clarify our doubt without getting into the technicalities!

No one really seems to have tried the Phillips Diamond Vision on their bikes here...check other forums too. They are the best from Philips like what teh Nightbreakers are from Osram

Bingo... that's what I wanted to say...


BUT, guys, pls, let us keep the Ninja off this thread. Thanks.

but the Ninja console looks very outdated , if not switch the anolog speedo then atleast they can Jazz it up using new colors for needle n backlight [hero honda can tell them a thing or 2 about this]

Ninja again ?? .. someones going to receive a karate chop .. this is the 1 5 thread ppl .. Create a Ninja speculation thread if required.

Where did you get the tank pad from? Pearl doesn't have it yet...neither the seat cowl which you said Venkatesha has.

u know what.... Pearl Yamaha coordinates with Venkateshwara Motors almost daily... they take / transfer stock of spares required. Venkateshwara being an older setup, seems to stock more stuff.

Just today at 10:30am guys @ Pearl said Venkateshwara Motors do not have the Seat Cowls (what they had few days back r sold out), no tank pads and no Yamaha Logos... and that they checked about them yesterday evening. I was at Venkateshwara Motors at 12pm and they had all of them!

Well, my point here is, push the Pearl guys to get available accessories from them... if they can get spares, why not accessories???

Thanks HydBiker, I'll check with Venkatesha tomorrow, but then I'll need to talk to the Pearl guys asking them for a refund, since I've already paid them the entire amount for all the accessories.

And Synergizer, I checked the tyre huggers of the Stunner&FZ-Fitting the FZ's tyre hugger seems almost out of the question since its integrated with the chain cover.As for the Stunner, though its the best looking, it seems to have too much of a fitting onto the right side, where the R15 has its cables running.Thats why I thought the XCD's hugger would be the easiest to fit, with least modification. Please check&let me know.

hey i have got a new question for some modification regarding the R15...is it possible to adjust under-seat R1 exhausts on the R15...what according to you will be the modifications required....can the stock R1 exhausts be fitted on the R15....and yea i wanted to change my stock visor to a tinted full black visor....as i ve a black R15 so thought it would be a better combination....where can i get it done from in pune or delhi....

Hey guys, I was wondering if it was possible to fit crash bobbins on the R15. If yes, where are they available and how much do they cost? I reside in Pune. Thanks

Hey guys.. Very bad news for me..
I'll hav to b away from biking for at least 15-30 days now.. Sheer thought of being away from ma beloved R15 knocks me down..

Had an accident.. and got my toe fractured.. and due to some complications of nail growing..had to undergo a small operation..

Cant even stand on my feet properly.. let aside riding ma bike.. Doc has suggested rest for 15 days...wtf..

Anyways... accidents to hote hi rehte hai.. let's not talk too much bout it..

Though i hav a few questions for u guys.. kindly answer...
one of the questions is already asked above..

1) me n my friend own blue R15s each n wanted to change/modify the front visor with a black tinted one. I hav also seen many a guys hav already done it, so thought it's not that difficult. We initially thought of putting those sun films which r used for car windows to visor and it'll b done. We didnt want to touch any TDH to our bike to open the visor, so we took our bikes to SC and got the visors out.

When we went to the car accessory shop, guys in alomst all the shops said that those films cant b put on these visors as they r made of fiber n those films cant stick to them..

So the question is what is the other way of getting a tinted visor?
And where can it b done in Mumbai?

2) another question is i m lookin for a lubricant for my bike. I asked bout it to the SC guy and he told me to buy motul chain lube spray. I was fine with it but he said u'll hav to buy chain lube as well as the chain clean.

So is it neccessary to buy the both?

and he said u can buy chain lube from outside as well of different brand. Said just ask for spray n not the oil.
So which other one can i go for?

Kindly answer guys...

Cheers...
Safe riding...
