        Alright so my friend had his hyundai getz's engine made over at the authorized station and they have him a can of fuel injector cleaner to put in alongwith petrol when he tanks up.

        I asked the service manager there if that injector cleaner could be used in any fuel injected vehicle and his reply was yes, it can be used in any fuel injected car.

        I was wondering if the same could be used in our r15's as well?

        I'm attaching a couple of pics, sorry for the quality, they are clicked with a mob cam
        A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

            I got a 2008 Dec, 5500kms done bike for the same amount. So around 75k would be a good price if the bike is in top notch condition.
            Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

              Can be negotiated much further bro.
              Fun begins only after 6K rpm.....!

                bro take insurance paper and enquire whole history of bike check wether bike is acidental or not if not
                take a mechanic to check its engine
                test ride it first.
                if u r satisfied then u can buy
                try to break price as much u can

                  Price too high, If rust on levers that mean that it has met with a crash and aftermarket levers have been installed..

                    Update - Fairing change under warranty

                    I got my bike's 10th service done today at Bangalore Wheels, & the Service Manager mentioned that my bike is eligible for parts replacement.

                    The parts that were changed under warranty are:
                    1) The fairings on both sides, & the side panels - The new ones have minute changes in shape, & I believe are of a stronger material. No visible changes.
                    2) Black platsic panel behind the front wheel, & below the radiator - The new one has a mesh, as someone had posted earlier.

                    All the above parts were sent by Yamaha in 1 single carton, with a part number & the part name as "R15 Burning Kit ..."

                    I was told that all 2008 & 2009 models of the R15 are eligible for the change.

                    My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

                    The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                      anyway...i normally brake both.. kicking back throws me out...i usually catch front break ...release it again front break..release and so on...believe me this really works like abs...dont forget to apply back also veery lightly and increasing in proportion....

                      Pumping the brakes is a wrong habit. There are other ways of effective and panic braking which can be practiced and applied.

I've stopped speeding coz I might land up tasting the dust someday, What may be the problem? I apply 70-30% brakes.(Front, Rear)
                      7000Kms? That is way to early. I remember ZenashB changing at similar interval though. So maybe, can't comment.

                      And Aditaya

                      The ABS is really useless. Have checked on RTR, R15, and P220 and they failed to impress. Anyways, to each his own.
                      And, Pls use Punctuations in your replies.

                      Shivanshu... Man, great write up there. Great flow of emotions and I like your RX man. One Sweet looker. Stands out! Was away for a while, and came back and read your experience. Top Stuff!

                      And Tibby, Thanks for the update as usual.

                        if pumping brake is wrong ..then ABS is wrong....how do you think the abs works?? there the brake is applied , released again applied released and so on!! its the best way to stop a vehicle...please throw light on the problems in it!!
                        H*R*K

                        May be slow, but still ahead !!

                          abs does not work like this . abs is there to prevent wheel from locking up and remains idle till the wheel locks up .when it detects that the wheel has locked from the sensors on the wheel it releases the braking pressure . the pumping system cannot take into account when the wheel has locked and will definitely increase the braking distance as it does not allow the weight to shift on the front to increase traction of front tire . if no weight on front then reduced traction and with reduced traction you cant brake progressively harder . read a few articles on braking on the forum to get more details on weight transfer on braking etc . the mechanical abs sharan is talking about is not a true abs system and its just a valve type thing that does not allow sudden braking pressure to build up in the brake line and its useless and will only reduce the feel at the lever .

                            read few main starters on braking threads.!! there nothg about pumping brake...

                            its right that abs release to prevent locking of wheels...samething can be applied mechanically...when u press the front brake hard, wieght transfers to front front shock compresses.. at that instance release brake before the wheel locks up....and so on.... i have been using this technique for many years and found it best to use especially when travelling above 100+

                            (ps: this is only for straight pass, for turning this cannot be applied )

                              even if you go with statics r15 is the ony bike whose price had been increased from last two years while bajaj and hh has reduce there bike price because yamaha have fine technology about fuel injector as compare to other companies in india (p220fi stoped production & hh zmr same as old karizma)
                              Ok bro lets see when it is launched..

                                Exactly, Yes, I'm talking about the Mechanical so called ABS system, that doesn't really "seem" to work!
