    Thank you! Sure I will keep a tab on both these levels and refill ASAP. How much it would take to do both the refilling? Tentative?

      Hi
      Why does it need 2.4l when usual oil change with filter change only need 2.2l? Here in this case we are not removing oil filter.

        Anyways, as you said I would be changing the oil at 1st service. And need to be patience till then
        Heat on legs is normal mate, I cried a lot over here for that but now I am sure there is nothing to worry if the heat bar is at 3.
        Mine went to full bars after the recall because they forgot to topup the coolant.
        I have a video of just after recall with the heating issue but I am still editing and I probably wont be able to finish editing untill the coming weekend as I have an interview today. I was planning to do this today

        Exactly, this is what was needed to be done on my bike with regards to the coolant but the service center did not do it.
        dented my radiator even more.
        But now everything works ok
        no overheating, and yes they put new coolant and new engine oil in the bike.

          Hey guys,

          Hope y'all are doing well.

          I would like to thank all you guys for your reviews, comments and suggestions as it helped me a lot in finalizing my decision to go for the R3 and I couldn't be happier. I joined the forum a few months back and have read through the entire R3 thread but this is my first post.

          My bike was also part of the recent recall and I got the replacement done about two weeks ago so thought I would post my observations.

          After the replacement, the gear shifts are super smooth and the clunkiness is gone especially after 2nd gear (shifting from 1st to 2nd is still a bit clunky and feels a bit rough). I found no difference in the clutch pull though.

          The vibrations that I felt in the tank and pegs around 6k-7k rpms have been reduced to the point that they are hardly noticeable, if at all (maybe that's just the engine breaking-in as I'm at just over 500 kms on the odo).

          Also, the temp gauge has not crossed three bars, even in Mumbai's heavy rush hour traffic (four bars was common, occasionally hitting five bars). I did feel a bit of heat at my ankles right after the replacement especially on the right side but have not noticed it since.

          Those were a few things that immediately stuck out to me after the parts were replaced. Please let me know if there's anything else you guys would like to know.

          Ride safe.

            Thanks Mate! I really enjoyed watching your channel Waiting for this video. Coolant level looks ok but I might need to top-up/refill. Today while coming to office, I didn't noticed that much heat. If you are in Bangalore, Yesterday's traffic must have hit you hard. Even then the temp bar didn't crossed 3, but engine heated up a lot. Probably because I was on 1 - 3 rd gears with max 20kmph for a period of 1.30 hrs...!

                  Don't pay anything. They were supposed to top up after draining and refilling coolant.

                  Coz the clutch was opened. Most of us also replaced oil filter.
                  Anyway, we should ensure the level must show full in the inspection window.

                    Are you saying that the engine oil quantity is 2.4 liter from factory?
                    When we service the bike, we just put 2.1 liter also changing the oil filter. As I understand the oil level window should show oil between min and max Markings in it.
                    My friend had changed oil filter also in his recall. The oil level was showing correctly between the markings too after pouring 2.1 liters of oil(100ml in filter and 2 liters).
                    I am just trying to understand why we would we put 2.4 liters. Also if the window is showing full that means they have put more than required oil, right?

                    Edit! Just realised that the engine oil quantity is 2.4L from factory.

                          *runs away to get popcorn*
                          Lol. That is the only thing I hate about the bike. I'm 6 ft 2 in and have wide shoulders, so all I see in the mirrors are my arms. I'm adjusting them all the time but can never seem to get the placement right.

                          I've been looking to buy some mirror extenders but haven't had much luck.

                            Quite the opposite, they are brand new but cracked so I want new good tyres.

                              The ones in the link are for a BMW but they look similar to the R3's mirror assembly. I've found similar ones for the R3 but none from an Indian retailer.

                              Is it possible to maybe get them custom made and if so any idea from where? Or should I just wait till someone imports them here?
