For tail lamp?

I had installed headlamp (35/35) on my victor, but fellow on my tail used to get blind cos of that.

Did I anywhere mention that it is for tail-lamp?

H4 from Philips (made in Germany ones) come with a pair of main bulb & a pair of parking bulb.

Sheel,

If i use kerosene to clean my chain will it give any problem. I ran out of Motul Chain clean. But the lube is still there. I was very apprehensive on cleaning the chain with Kerosene.. If any of you guys gimme a go ahead. Then i will have my weekends work sorted out.

You may use kerosene, we had a fairly lengthy discussion about it somewhere on this thread between me, jd and a couple of others. You may search for it.

But yeah, shiny bike! Mine needs that treatment too. Will try to get it done after getting it back to Hyd.

Thanks, this 15 is everything to me

@sheel - bike chain needs to be cleaned properly.

Do this, get two cans of zorrick ( pidilite industries ), get it at any hardware store.

Spray one can liberally all over the chain ( a lot of muck is gonna drip from the chain ), leave it overnight.

Then next day, take to SVC centre, tell them to wash with kerosene, water blast and compressed air, use chain clean, and chain lube.

Then again apply a lil zorrick and leave it.

Ideally this gets fixed by removing chain and dipping overnight in kerosene. this method also works as i did for my R15.

why not the WD40??
although its a few bucks dearer..

btw long time no see jd!! where have you been??

There is no time when I havn't stared at a passing R15 belonging to a random stranger till he passes out of view, despite being on an R15 myself

. This baby makes me feel blessed. Re-invigorating the riding spirit every time I turn on that ignition and shift into the first gear. I am going to move onto bigger capacities and inline fours in a couple of years, but this baby will always stay close to my heart and will never be sold.

me too! i stare helplessly too!!

Guys I am suffering from a strange problem

As I told you before I had booked my R15(yellow) on 30th of Oct 2010 and they said it will be delivered by 5th December ... So more than a month wait :O

My holidays are going on and so I am free full day. I am eeagerly waiting for my bike and 15 days passed and I am damn frustrated.

I even called up the showroom people. They say that you will get it in 15 days...

Guys I CANT WAIT ANY MORE....

I daily get dreams at night about my R15... :P Lol its so strange

Can anyone tell me how to pass my 15 to 20 days without thinking of the R15?

**eliksir** · 11-15-2010, 04:20 PM

its an OT buddy,
don't post such stuff here lest you want to face the mods

!!
but since you've posted it,
i would like to tell you, most of us had to wait hell long to convince our parents to buy it at the first place/save up for it, let alone the waiting period(if any)..
the best way i found to kill time 'then' was by going through the 1000 pages on the ownership thread of the R15...
it was so damn interesting to know what are the general characteristics of the bike..lots of informative posts..
its damn irritating when you have new owners posting
"guys i have a problem, right side light does not work on low beam", "there is a 'tuu' sound coming from engine" and stuff...
keeping in mind the issues above are not issues, are normal and have been discussed like a 100 times before..
so i suggest you go through the thread, xbhp, get the feel of riding safe, search for good riding gears, search for a nice tank-pad, buy them, search the forum for info about the running in period, etc, etc..
it keeps you occupied..and makes you knowledgeable..

15 days are not long..

do post pics when you get it though!

Well maintained bike

Thanks Parth,

Its the steering center bolt cap and ya fork protectors are those blue caps on the front axle(i didnt get different colour

)

And i tried to maintain it as neat as possible, as i cant even bear a single stratch on the bike !! I had replaced some of the fairings, RVM's due to scratches !!!

I feel that going through this whole forum over 1000 pages while waiting for his bike can only increase his desire more and more !!! (just my opinion)

well, here we don't exactly want to kill the eagerness..do we?
nothing will decrease his eagerness to be true..
just giving him something worthwhile to do..

**Sharan_R** · 11-15-2010, 11:32 PM

Just thought of Posting a Ownership Report after 20,000kms and a Year (almost). I know many other members have posted their report after 40,000kms or so and would be more valuable reading theirs.

The Bike is completely stock, except for a
-High Beam Single filament 35W HID, and a Pair of White LEDs for the Parking.

- 9 Services done.
- Running on Motul FS 15W40 300V since past 10,000kms. Changing at every 4000Kms or so, and have not noticed any evaporation issues(yet).
- Oil Filter changed thrice.( the Oil Filter now costs Rs 150 or around)
- Both, Brake Pads changed twice at 9000Kms intervals.
- Changed Mirrors 4 times, due to people hitting/pushing it out of it's Ball Joint while walking or while taking their Bikes out in Parking or so. Not because of a crash.
- The Relay blew off once. Changed that.
- Accelerator and Clutch Cables changed at 15,000Kms.
- Spark Plug changed at 12,000Kms.
- Air Filter changed at 18,000Kms.

Replacements do be Done..

- Haven't changed the Radiator yet, since I was out of Country!

- Chain Set( Using Yamalube Dry Tape and Motul Chain clean, Links still appear jammed. Will try the Soaking in Kerosene Overnight method soon.)
- Cone set.

Personally done a 148Kmph, Single. 138Kmph with Pillion.

I guess that's it.

She's doing great!
Ride safe everyone, and Keep that LID on.

Why is it OT? Its not OT according to me. As I see it, its just another would be R15 owner seeking help to resolve his mental health. Thats well in the confines of this thread

Help your fellow rider wait for his bike

Besides, reading thousands of pages of this forum will only increase his respect for the bike, so let him to that too :P

Thats what is desired

We want him to know the bike and respect it once he gets it, so let him do it

148? Awesome! I've pushed mine to a whopping 146kmph... the best part is, you can keep up the 148 number (provided there are empty roads) and the bike will never strain! :P Yes YAMAHA!
