Yamaha R15 Recall, replaced Radiator assembly

Update on R15

Its been a while since my last posting.

Last month got a call from Yamaha asking me to replace the Radiator assembly as Yamaha was providing a free upgrade. Tried asking what exactly was the problem but the lady on the call had minimal or zero knowledge about the problem.

One week later surprisingly the over heating LED started Turing red, checked the coolant level, it was a bit low topped it up but the problem was the same. Thanks to my busy schedule was not able to visit the showroom for close to one month. With my friends help finally got the radiator replaced under warranty. Still unaware what exactly the problem was.

The problem is with some batch of R15 only, get it checked if you haven't yet. The problem may arise any time and Yamaha may have changed there mind by than to replace it for free. Radiator assembly cost 4k.

Ride to Somanathapura

After a long time I got a chance to ride out, Thanks to Chetu :) she wanted to spend her Saturday outside Bangalore. I can't say no to her ;-) [Atleast when she say we shall ride out.]

Somanathapura was in to-do list for long time, thought will give a visit. We visited Talakadu as well.

And my bike completed 30k mark :-)

Route Details:
Bangalore - Maddur - Mallavali - Bannur [Take left before] - Somanathapura - Talkadu - Ballegere Mallavali - Bangalore

Total Kms: 290 kms

Roads are not good STILL between Talkadu - Ballegere, rest was Ok. [Not considering the Bangalore - Mysore highway which is Good]
