    Bored of the factory colour and are looking to spice it up? We help you do it, legally

    Planning to change the colour of your two-wheeler this Holi? Well, doing it legally is a pretty simple process. Read on to find out the step-by-step process.

    Colour Sample

    First step would be to take the colour sample of the shade that you would like to paint your two-wheeler in to your nearest RTO (Regional Transport Office or Road Transport Office). Don’t forget to take your RC (registration certificate) along.

    Form filling

    Next, you have to fill out the NAMV form (notice of alteration to a motor vehicle) and submit it to the authorities. You can download this online as well. The RTO authorities might even do a quick inspection of the current colour of your vehicle, and give you a signed approval for the alteration.

    Re-paint

    Now that you have the approval, you can re-paint your two-wheeler to the shade sampled at the RTO. Make sure you use good quality materials to avoid any damage.

    Verification

    Return to the RTO with the freshly painted bike/scooter with all your documents for the next step of verification. This step ensures that everything is done according to the RTO’s guidelines.

    Once the verification and approval is done by the RTO officer, get those changes marked in your RC book by the relevant official. You can now enjoy your snazzier looking bike with peace of mind!

      Neat condition bike with awesome road presence
      This bike is very good while daily riding is the main factor as the mileage is very good like 43 kmpl in city traffic and the maintenance cost is very low if you ride the bike properly. Also the road presence particularly of this edition is great. If you wish to look good while getting an optimum performance then you can definitely go for it. In my case this bike is in neat condition without any damages or missing parts. All the services done on time and so the warranty is valid.

      The Yamaha R15 V4 is a popular 155cc entry-level
      I had a brother who likes riding this old r15 and I was small and didn't knew any super bikes at all, and this was my first super bike which had all sharpnes at edges, the colour, the speed, it had some personality. Its been amazing bike so far, smooth, light weight. Its top speed is pretty good. It gives good mileage. It is very nice for long rides. Performance of the bike is so good. Suspensions works very well on road. Yes, for sure but take my opinion and explore different bike, It may have something that this bike wouldn't have that charm but you can go for it, if you want sporty look and a good racing bike. Its nice.

      r15 V4 Review
      The r15 v4 has the old punch while handling the BS6 engine with good aerodynamics and aggressive seating position. Its very easy to reach 140+ with default setting while it was not made for the long drive push, we can try the limits where I've driven around 25,000km in the same bike as well. I love it as my soul.
