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.

It was low as I had not topped it up. Check with the showroom guys if you are bike needs a radiator replacement. Mine was from initial lots.
