1000+kms in 17 hrs is good. but you must have nailed your clutch. if you continue doing this it will wear out the clutch plates resulting in clutch slippage. r15 can take the beating to some extend. but some other bikes would have been completely nailed after such continuos abuse.

call it luck or just the good quality of the Yam, no issues with the bike even after that ride. Got a water was done and svc guys did a thorough checkup and found nothing wrong. Cleaned and chained the lube and started spinning the ride in Hyd roads again

Also is R15 really painfull for long rides? for me that's very important...

Just finished 4200 km ride on r15. I guess its more of a personal thing. I find d r15 more comfortable to tour than ma other bike Pulser 220.

ya so many guys did 1000kms. but they only talk about their trips not their bikes after the trip. ask goati (@xbhp) to find out how his r15 did after a non stop chennai to tvm ride.

Elaborate, plz.

As i said earlier either am lucky or the bikes build quality is top notch. No worries at all after non stop 17 hours of ride covering 1200+ kms. I have done 1500+ non stop ride on my previous bike Karizma and faced no hassles after that ride too. Guess lot depends on how well the bike is maintained towards the build up of the ride and also the way you ride. Peace out !!

@Binoy - there is no wrong or right when it comes to personal choice. Instead of waiting for an unknown time, you can start enjoying your new ride right away!! Nail it bro!! No more should NH7 be a challenge before you...

I totally agree to that...

I dont know what will happen to bikes if we do such a trip.......
I have done banglore-cochin and Kottayam-banglore many times......
my poor Hero Honda machine never made a problem after such rides.........

I think, Lijo might also have done such trips on a TVS!!!!

I think Yamaha is the champion and then how an R15 could suffer after such along ride..........
I feel it as a pure joke indeed !!!!!!
