Some R-15 owners have reported a problem with the bike .The problem is caused when there is an obstruction in the gap in the fairing which is present at the right-side.The obstruction most of the times a cleaning cloth has caused the cloth and fairing to burn (some reports of engine burring have also been heard but have to check the authenticity of engine burn reports).Yamaha is offering a free upgrade to a new fairing panel which includes a mesh lining which avoids easy access to the engine.
