Actually, i would say it's the best start, because you are still typing and your bike will be back again... So chill and relax, there are so many bad things that could have happened during that accident, but we are glad you are safe.

yeah that looks fine .... But i might get something a little bit smaller .
Tyre looks good though ...


My friend you have just been R15'ed ....


hope you're not hurt , wish your bike a speedy recovery ..

Nicely put.

Sorry for the bike though it pains me to see such a beautiful piece of machinery gettin damaged.

my speedometer stopped working .. stays on 0 ..

help !!!!!

Any one know the India Yamaha complain email-id ? i really need it ....urgent.....

Speedo sensor gone kaput. I've had this happened to me as well. Sometimes even a fall while being parked is enough to break the plastic sensor located near the axle of the front tire. Costs 550 and can be claimed under warranty if there's no physical damage.

go to their site. you ll find it. i complained to yamaha head office and got my problems corrected.

you are making people go crazy by posting such pics in this thread. please dont do this again. it is in times like this i wish my father was a millionare.

Ask me man, on a 5day tour, met with rain and thunderstorm from 2nd day evening onwards, so the rest of the 3 days were ridden in rain and chilling wind touching the redline

Knight I got it custom made, the only thing I had to do is to keep a small cushion from the rear seat of a scooter, on my back seat for a more heighted sitting of the saddle bag. This saddle bag can hold upto 36kgs of weight 18kgs each side. And the cushion was kept so that the saddle bag didnt touch the silencer on the right side, which I experienced in my first ride. Now, I have toured with this saddle bag more than a couple of time, there is no discomfort. it adds on to the back comfort with the rear cushion. Performance, well while touring I dont rip it but it still touches 120kmph easily fully loaded saddle bag, in hills it was touching 60-80kmph easily on tarmac wherever possible, so I really dont see any drop in performance. Its more like you are riding with pillion. This saddle bag also doesnt cause any im-balance on curves and while leaning, so am very happy with it.

Very truly said brother


Yeah come in June again to Delhi and this time I will calculate how much were you drenched in sweat hehehehe

query...

hey guys...I've recently started my quest as an xbhpian and I hope to learn a lot from here.

I have a Yamaha YZF-R15, its a year and a half old and doing great.
Although I had a few queries about some technical matters.

01. Which Engine Oil viz. castrol, motul etc. is best suited for the bike, except the one that Yamaha provides?

02. If I install a K&N, would there be any requirement for remapping the ecu? As I've heard that in fuel injected ecu governed engines, the ecu itself adjusts the fuel supply if the air supply is increased (as in this case). But I've not gone much further to the minorities in this regard, so would appreciate any statements.

Please advise guys.

(I've added up a few images, not too good though)

worry not its usually a loose cable ... take it to svc and pray that the sensor is still intact ...

Welcome to XBHP , Thats a fine ride . . Those pics were taken when you bought the bike rite ...

About the filter most of us would stay away from it ....
Save up and get it joel'ed ...

@silentknight...the pics were taken almost a year after I bought the bike, the shine is actually coz of the silicon spray I used that day...
thanks for the welcome message btw

Good job maintaining the bike dude , and a fellow biker is always welcome
chears ...

a day ago my speedometer stopped working .. today i crashed the bike and got scratches on my headlights, my left front indecator broke down .. i doono what its called but the fibre where the front indecator is has scratch marks and broke to someextent... did manage to control my bike from falling down ..


i did hurt my self but m fine .. what a distater

not gonna ride the bike soon now untill i recover .. and

or i have to spend to get all fixed ?

in short i just lost control in speed and that was after the speedometer issue ...

Nimboo Mirchi Lagadeya hai . i hope things go rite .

OH ... sorry to hear that ... , take care of yourself ,
About the bike , from the looks of it you mite have to change the fairing , but cant say for sure , post a pic , if the fairing is torn , then claim insurance , but check with svc on the cost ect ..
