WOW!! page 1426 and counting.Fantastic brand awareness of the Yamaha R15

ok. Is this 5-6k Kms life with the new disc pads you're referring to? They anyway have a shorter life I've read here (have been using them for 5k Kms now, no issues so far).

Not really! This thread is losing its charm. Hardly anything new these days.

Its a pleasure to be able to give back to the community.

Thanks! You should..

With all due respect to you, please don't post stuff that doesn't contribute to the topic. Peace.

got some thing if you love to see some cosmatic change

mizobiker from north east doing Airbrush paint just check out

Looks amazing! Where is this guy located?

@Shivanshu, HydBiker, tibby, Ascetic, Parth, MadMax46 etc.: Got the bike's radiator checked today&found that the LHS bolt was loose, thereby causing the radiator itself to move around&spill out a few drops of coolant. Thanks for the tip-it is fixed now!

Looks nice! Would love to see the white+red+black bike in fully built form. Do post pics if you have it.

Great!! Turned out to be as per my guess. Any idea how many ml of coolant did you lose?

Thats great. One thing - Yesterday i got my last free service done and the svc guy told that the coolant has got over but i got refilled in december only. Someone here told me that the coolant would last atleast an year. Please enlighten

Coolant consumption depends on riding conditions. If you ride often in traffic, the engine will heat up more, & will need more coolant. Essentially, coolant consumption increases with higher low-rev riding.
Its less likely that the entire coolant resorvoir ran dry in 2-3 months though. Did you see it yourself? Ideally you should be tracking the level regularly.

I didnt see it though but yeah the bike started to heat up when revved high. Will keep track of it from now on. Is there any specific grade for the coolant too?? So that we can maintain its level?

You can use any coolant that is normally used in cars. Just ensure that you dilute it if the instructions say so.
You can use Motocool from Motul, which comes as ready to use (no dilution required). Cost INR 330 for 1L IIRC.
The required coolant level is marked on the coolant reservoir on the left side of the bike. Look at the user manual/ service manual for details

Hi,

I had to change my rear brake pads recently and the bike has done only close to 5000 KMs. The service engineer who did the pre service checking found out that the pads have worn out and needed replacement. I understand that its odd for the brake pads to be worn out this early. The mechanic said either i might be keeping my foot on the brake pedal while riding or the brakes might be in a slightly applied position (not enough to lock the tires). I am careful that i dont keep my foot on pedal while riding and also i apply front brakes mostly compared to rear one, mechanic also said front brakes does not require replacement and would be good for a few more 1000 KMs.

Finally, the pads were changed and when i came home i found that the rear brake disc was slightly hot. I thought it might be due to the braking i did during the ride. to confirm it i placed the bike on paddock stand and tried spinning the wheel and found it to be bit stiff, the wheel was not turning as free as expected. I turned on the engine and pushed to first gear and the wheel started spinning however when i applied clutch, with in 2-3 second the rear wheel stopped spinning.

Is it because the break pad being in slightly applied position ? how can we check that? I have noticed that its virtually impossible to find gap between disc and pad so I am not sure if its in contact. Yamaha manuals give no information about adjusting the disc brakes. Would it be a good idea to take it to the SC?

I too got my rear brake pad replaced two days ago. Saw the pads post in this thread after coming back. I dont know which brand's brake pad the mech fitted on my bike....they came in a red coloured packet. Is that the NISSIN ones??
