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.

pray for me, please!

Okay, here's what I understand:

1. As per manual, the filter needs to be changed at 1k
2. Its suggested to change the oil also with the filter

I'm thinking to change the filter and oil after riding for about next 150 to 200 km (Now its 850 km); this way, I'd:

1. Change the filter & oil around 1000 km (meeting the criteria above)
2. Use the currently filled oil for a few hundred kms (it'd not go totally waste)

Please correct me if I've understood it wrong or there's better way to deal with it.
Thanks!

PS: Those who did not know what's my concern- My bike's oil-filters were not changed during the first service.

In your case, see if someone can start it atleast once a week or 10 days. If you cannot, don't worry too much-this is an MF battery, 1 month cannot totally drain the battery out-though you might have to push start it once you are back. It will get recharged in a few kms.of running.
To be on the safe side, get it recharged completely before&after your trip if you cannot find someone to start it.

Nowadays I rarely stay at home, so i use my bike only for a few days in between months. Recently, i took it out after 50 days unattended and believe me or not, it got fired up and running in the 3rd attempt. I also have a Stebel horn installed, so u can imagine how load i give on the battery.

For 1 month, I advice u to cover the bike properly so as to not accumulate any dust !!

They will smothen out within 50-60 kms of hard city riding, as you have poured in motul for the first time, let the engine get used to it.

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?

Dickheads, it is clearly mentioned in the manual. Get it changed at 1000kms as you said.

The tail region looks much much better than a stock but why the dual exhausts? Any fools would know it's an R15 at first glance so why the pretention? Same goes for the tank modifications.

1 )My engine or something makes a noise when i start the bike .. sounds like Keeeeeee and goes on ..Thats the fuel pump making that noise.. You will get used to it

2) 300 Km so far and running at max of 55 .. is it fine .. Its fine. But rev her till 6 K only for a short duration not more than a min and make sure you dont stay in a single RPM for longer duration. Keep varying it. and once done with 500KMS you can rev her upto 5 K without any issue and then at bursts till 7.5KRPM for shorter duration.

3) My Front Lights .. when in lower only one side is one .. and when on upper .. both are .. can i get both the lights to work when in lower ?? who would do it ? yamaha store ? sorry but m a Noob .. Yes in low beam only one light glows and when in high beam both lights up. And its advised not to make both of them light up all the time. Battery will drain in no time.

and many more will come up with it later ..

And congrats on the beauty. Get good number of safe miles on the odo.

isnt it safe to do 5K till 500 kms right ??

my first servicing is due in a couple of days and i ride it around 4K mark but have gone to 5.5-6K a couple of times by mistake and got a max of 63kmph once as i wasnt paying much attention to the speedo ... is it ok ??

I'd say stick till 4k rpm till 500-600 kms, 600-1000 you can do short bursts of 5k.

My babe turned 6 months old today

Will post a complete ownership report in a couple of days.

Stay safe you guys

i agree with your relatives..
i'd suggest you buy 2 splendors in that price instead..your "relatives" would be happy then i suppose..

Originally posted by kunnu@cbz View Post

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

write to yamaha about this..
btw are you sure they didn't change the filter in the first service?? look at the receipt..or even better tell us how much they charged you..if its around 800-900(asking this because you mentioned them saying about the change at 10k) then they have changed it else write to yamaha...

its just a suggestion...

@parth i guess you are yet to get her serviced(19th??)..so no updates about the lag..
