I just booked an R15 and now I am doubting my decision after listening to so many telling me negative things about it

First of all let me tell u that the bike is not yet delivered and will take 20 days but my friends,relatives,strangers,enemies all of them saying that u should have gone for bullet or fz or 220

Man,I am really upset about it ..My height is 5'11 and weight 60 KG and 19 years old

**dushyant123** · 11-13-2010, 11:20 PM

KwokFist but if thats true then the top speed of r15 must be around 140kmph and thats too high with respect to the data provided by most of bike magazines who claim the top speed to be around 130 kmph....

You won't regret your decision once you twist the throttle for the first time. You will be riding the bike, so turn a blind eye to whatever everyone else says. Its ag reat bike. No complaints

Yes, the R15 speedo does show 140+kmph but there is always an error in the value. It shows more than the actual/true speed. In reality, our bike should be doing around 135kmph when it shows 140kmph...

The first oil filter change is critical, because all the metal particles that get grinded off as a result of the engine running in, eventually collect at the oil filter ( the oil carries them ). So thats why the oil and filter is replaced at first service.

I had been to the ASC this morning (before seeing your posts) and strangely enough, the mechanics/supervisor and everyone advised me not to change the cartridge!

In fact, they said that even the Yamaha engineer advises not to change them before 10k.

Their justification- "We do check for the oil-filter cartridge and stainer during each service, clean them properly and put it back. There's absolutely no need to change it so early. We know the product and won't advise you anything which harms your bike."

I was wondering if they do not have the filter with them; so, went to the spares section and they very much have the stock of the filters. Before I left, the guy reassured me to trust their 'expertise'- they've serviced 700+ R15s!

Now, after reading your posts, I'm concerned!

BTW, the ASC in question is Pacer Motors (Bangalore). It'd be great if somebody from BLR could second this/throw some light!

PS: Hope I can get this oil filter changed at a local garage?

this is crazy!
i love this machine

**sheelpriye** · 11-13-2010, 11:49 PM

@kunnu--I believe it is specifically mentioned in the service manual that a change of oil and oil filter is warranted at the first service.

Have a look at the manual yourself.

@pranjal--Have you opened it? It is prone to fuse soon. Mine & Saravjit's did.

Yeah, that's how I noticed it should be changed... but, am wondering what's bothering them, after-all, I'm paying for it?

Its 141kph true. That's the max it can do on stock gearing AFAIK. Magazine figures are a fair estimate, they cannot be considered as absolute. Most of them do a review in manner that best satisfies their sponsors. Many here have hit upwards of 145kph including myself, few even higher. A member here, Sagar if i'm right has hit 148kph on video. You want unbiased statistics, do stick around and learn.

A SVC would make a profit between Rs. 80-90 on a filter of R15, its weird they discouraged.

I think 7-8 days. One of them started to flicker. The light is pretty powerful and that is what the culprit is IMO.

Initially the mech said that there might be some carbon deposits, but once I fit in the stock bulbs, flickering went. Cross checked by interchanging them too and the problem persisted. It was annoying and my Rs.1000 went down the drain

No warranty on top of it

I think its a local bulb, branded Yamaha and they make around Rs 400+ profit on a bulb. (You will get similar bulbs for Rs.10, albeit slightly less powerful in the same wattage)

I still have both lying with me (color-blue). Regret it. (Have all the other accessories, they are fine, even the LED indicators)

He has bettered it by 2kmph, it now stands at 150kmph. His sign too reads the same.
