  • Looking for used R15_Suggestion

    Dear BCMTians, Recently, i got to know about a used 2010 V1 R15 in NCR, HR26BEXXXX. The seller is quoting 75K for it. Yesterday, i went his place to have a look at it. The bike was in stock conditions (threads were visible on tyres and no modifications). Regularly serviced as said (was last serviced ~1500 km, 9000 Km On ODO at present). The reason for selling was that he want to buy a car. Now, i ride a P135, so have no ideas about R15. Test drived R15. Overall feel was good, no strange noises etc. Since, it was dark but still i can say there were no scratches. Only thing bothering me is a strange type of noise coming from engine-more of a kat-kat-kat-kat on idling (~1.2K RPM). I recorded the engine sound by putting my cell phone close to lower-right side of engine. AT first engine was running on idling then i twisted the throttle to 2-3K RPM with sudden twists. I have attached the audio file (zipped) for the same as an attachment. I guy was saying like look its nothing but idling issue (that time engine idle was at 1200RPM), he also assured me that if i have any doubt regarding that strange sound then i can take any mechanic with me to have a closer look at the bike. My dilemma: 1) Since, it is registered at Gurgaon, will it be feasible to transfer it on my name (i reside at sarita vihar, delhi)? (Ready to pay RTO touts) 2) That strange noise from engine is bothering me. So, help with your valuable comments especially R15 owners! PS: unable to attach the audio file in zip format.

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      For second hand R15 it's a 50:50 chance!!

      if you put a new Tubeless tyre then it will cost 2200 for OEM rear front i don't know.
      Check for the bike alignments i.e cornering, because if there is any cone set issues then new cone set comes for Rs 3200 i was about to change it for myself but mechanic said the issues was with my front wheel bearing.

      Check for the ride on highway...

      V.IMP.: Never deal for a bike or car in night, always check it in day!!.

      Why don't you ask the bike and get it SVC and just tell him what all needs to be taken care off...don't say you are buying....Then he will give you the list and if the list is small then you can get it.

      2010 R15 @ 75k is a good deal!!

      but choose it wisely!! check the insurance and all.
