Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
Evo India has an interesting interview with Roy Kurian who is the VP of sales and marketing for Yamaha Motorcycles India that highlights their strategy going forward and why they are moving away from a 'racing' image. Worth a read.

FYI go to Planet DSG website and you get the above given address.So in short it's a Planet DSG store.
Im not sure what your deal is, just trying to bump up your post count with meaningless posts? Since you have taken the effort of pointing me to the Planet DSG website (which you didnt read carefully), here is what is posted under their list of dealers - " Orion Motors, 518, Bhoovanappa Layout, Opp. Forum Mall, Hosur Road." So basically
1. the store's name is actually not Planet DSG like you claimed it to be.
2. The store is a dealer for Planet DSG, which is what I said in my last post.
Not only do they stock products that Planet DSG is a distributor of , they also stock products from other national distributors like Auto Impex, Performance Racing Store and others. By your logic, you should call the very same store as Auto Impex store, PRS Store and Planet DSG store!

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
Since the yamaha dealer,"vinayak" did not help me and was asking money for assistance for tyre replacement, I have decided to replace it myself. So far i have bought
a 22mm socket
19mm socket
L handle 1/2 square
Flexible handle
And I'm going to order a ratchet handle too.
After getting these tools i will buy a paddock stand.
I found one for 4k and it's foldable.
So it will be easy to transport.Hero Honda Splendor (June 2001- Present)

I now feel i should have bought a different brand bike.
I wonder what superbike owners do if we entry level sport bike owners face issues like this.
Being a biker for more than 14 years now, I feel i can take care of smaller issues myself and not depend on these money hungry service centers.
This also gave me the opportunity to build my own inventory of tools.
Update: i ordered red line paddock stand for my bike. It costs 3.7k including shipping. It's foldable.Last edited by Gollum; 08-08-2016, 10:58 AM.Hero Honda Splendor (June 2001- Present)

Doesn't matter if you own a sooper bike or a pauper bike, it involves a bit of labor and nothing wrong in them charging you a few bucks towards labor.
Again, if you have a good friendly rapport they might not charge you.. but them charging you is not unfair business. After all it's labor and parts that a svc provides and that's how they make their money.
Any brand it will be the same story

I went to the dealer who sold the bike to me and my bike is less than 7 months old and the tyre cracked within 2000km.
Tyre is also made in the 26th week of 2015.
So, would you still be comfortable to pay if you were my shoes?Hero Honda Splendor (June 2001- Present)

i wouldn't be 'comfortable' but hey, those are the terms and so paying a wee bit for the svc labor is ok with me.
as i mentioned earlier, some tire shops might not help with the wheel removal/installation especially on such bikes. there are some tire shops that will do it 'complimentary' when you get a new tire.
get over it and enjoy the bike !

Hi Gollum
I won't be comfortable in paying the extra dues but i do have my reservations when it comes to servicing my own bike especially the tires/ brakes/ etc.
I have little knowledge and therefore might do more damage.
Not to forget there is always a chance of injury while undertaking such mechanical work. So untill i have someone with experience by my side i won't be tinkering with my bike essentials. The regular oil change, chain cleaning stuff is fine.
Anyways my intention is not to discourage you, just be careful and wise.
It might be a good idea to make a DIY video for the rest of the owners - if everything works out well.
Best of luck.
Cheers.You Start Your Life with a Full Pot of Luck and an Empty Pot of Experience, the Object is to Fill the Pot of Experience Before you Empty the Pot of Luck.....!!

Originally posted by Felicity View PostActually the store name is "Planet DSG"Originally posted by neil.jericho View PostThey are a dealer for Planet DSG. The store's name is not Planet DSG.Originally posted by Felicity View PostBTW,the store doesn't have a separate name it's a part of Orion motors yamaha showroom,they tied up with Planet DSG to sell their Alpinestar and DSG riding gears and essentials.
Now if someone gives wrong information, then others step in to correct it, which is fine. It helps all of us. Please see your contradicting posts above. Now you can call the store whatever name you want, you have all the freedom to do so but the fact of the matter is that the store's name is not Planet DSG which is what you originally claimed (wrongly) and then backtracked on.
Originally posted by Felicity View PostAgain,you being such a perfectionist,do you even know the store name? I bet not.Among other things, I have bought from them a DSG Nero jacket, engine oil several times, chest protectors for my A* jacket, A* SP2 gloves, an AGV Sport full leather suit and helped others buy gear from there as well. Pinto and the slightly older gentleman who work there know me. Here's a bill as well if you still harbour doubts.

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
Originally posted by Gollum View PostI will certainly make the video. It's important that i take a video so that i know what goes where. Someone advised me to not pull the break accidentally as that will cause the brake pads to pinch and stay that way. I did find a tutorial on the R3 forum. And there are many tutorials online for this. Anyway, i do know a mechanic nearby who knows R15 quite well and both these bikes are kind of similar.
so watch a mechanic do it first(be it any kind of service) and you will understand the nuances involved. I always make it a point to hang around and watch the servicing of not only my bike, but also other bikes that come in for various other repairs.
