    • its from the battery DC , the battery provides output . It can give 60/55w output with ease.This doesn mean that u leave the lights on all the time without engine running.
      Even on ur 220 get a 100 w h7 , it ll work .simple.

      The power distribution varies , thats all , ur horn ll get meeker..
      im running 2 60/55w

                      130 does fit to R15 without any mods .
                      Have seen bikes with 130 rear profile.
                      Also the mechanic at the workshop said it fits without problem.
                      but..but...he advised against it as according to him 1 of the basic problems faced would be loss of the incedible handling capability of this bike.
                      Infact he cited 2-3 names of people who reverted back to stock tyres

                          and what about the gearing? Already R15 takes ages to touch 142 kmph on speedo, and we further overdrive it?

                          I still say a 120/65 from a good manufacturer is good enough. Front better be left stock!

                          @ Rear Brake Pads: I say front should be more used be it anything above 150cc 2 Valve. Anyways Guys, you should claim it in Warranty. Other manufacturers even replace the Brake Lights in warranty (Ex: Bajaj). Then, Why can't Yamaha replace a functional part?

                            Bajaj does NOT replace bulbs under warranty. Bulbs are also treated as consumables by the manufacturer.
                            This is from my experience Probiking service centers in two cities!

                            If your service centre is doing it for you, they are cheating BAL.

                                Bulbs? What do you mean? Only the "LOW MAINTENANCE" Brake LEDs are replaced (not indicators, front, etc)

                                by the way, I admit they are corrupt, but How can they cheat BAL if they give me something?

                                @ souvikb83: Try sending an e-mail to Yamaha to know exact condition reg. this. As far as I know, it's a functional part!
