Rs. 415/- Yamalube SS oil, lasts 2500 km or even more, depending on how you ride. Its a good oil, but not the best though (given its pricing)

Next time if you can, be there when the service technician puts the oil. Best thing to do is to take the service center's number, call them and ask when they are going to work on your bike. Just pay a visit then.

Most importantly ... dont piss off the mechanics with too many questions

thanks .. but they say take an appointment and than blah blah and give the bike after 2 day or something .. i dont think they would let use see those what they do .. u know !

oil filter change every 10k kms? isnt that a bit late?
i change oil filter on 2 conditions :
1) changing type of oil
2) every 2 oil changes(that is every 2000kms, since i always changes oil on 1000kms)

Just come over to hyderabad for 2 days and take delivery of a red r15. I am pretty sure you will get it easily here in hyderabad.

Hyderabad guys, your suggestions.

agreed...

so you mean my first and second servicing should use the mineral oil only and after second servicing i should go for fully synthetic with a change of oil filter right, no need to change oil filter prior to that.

Am i understanding right or is something missing?

Yes, when the engine is new, it will be good idea to use mineral as it will help the engine bed-in proper.

Don't rev too high during this, increase the speed progressively and don't keep it pinned for longer durations on high-ways.

So you're saying putting in Yamalube SS before 2nd Service (3k kms) is a bad idea ?

Damn today a girl said I look skinny on the bike...DAMN it was heartbreaking...

I am still trying to putting on weight but its tough to...i weight 60 kg 5,10 height..

**jd666** · 12-04-2010, 01:05 AM

^^ tell her its for a good power to weight ratio.. its your need for speed that keeps you slim, so you can tuck well behind that aerodynamic fairing, and reach some impressive speeds... hehe.

planning on getting a new bike. test drove the R15, P220 and ZMR. Man R15 handlebar is too low for comfort.. am mostly into touring not racing or anything. it felt so uncomfortable. felt hard to steer and it was like doing push ups on bike. will i get used to it or should i just go for P220?

people here said it would be a little uncomfortable and i will get used to it. but it was close to very uncomfortable. feel disappointed that i'm not confident in driving the bike !

Yeah I know but still now my mind is struck with what she said...If a boy said it never mind but a Girl ...is a different case...and I am in tension...

I dont think i can gain weight now due to some reasons so i have to live the same way with R15

You will get used to it, but if you are into touring, you better go for the P220.

Man i will tell you that R15 kicks 220's groin...

I first heard that R15 seating position is too uncomfortable but later when i actually bought it I found that it wasnt that uncomfortable as some people potray..

1 or 2 days you will feel uncomfortable... Imagine a village girl wearing a skirt for the first time... Ofcourse she will feel uncomfortable but later you will love the position

220 is just another bike next door...Its good for touring but R15 isnt bad...it rocks in all the aspects..

You do realize that fatboyz don't look good on faired bikes (No offense meant) ?

^ i understand the above example is not of a faired bike but you know i am close

**hardcorebiker** · 12-04-2010, 01:24 AM

F*** that girl man...I dont care...

I love the bike and I dont care how skinny I am. Ofcourse I can gain weight later

Even valentino rossi is so skinny but yet worlds best moto champion.. I will content myself with this
