Thanks gokul, for pointing out. This is what bothers me. In a Bangalore Kawasaki showroom, they revved the bike which was kept for display just to impress the the customer. So when we book there is high probability they might give us display bike. Have to note down the chassis / engine number of display too just to avoid such incident.

Bwt which is biggest dealer in chennai. ? I never had any experience with Yamaha.

Try JMB. Jain moto bike in tnagar. They also do superbike servicing like fz1 and vmax. My service experience with them also went quiet good.

Finally, Mr. Murthy (the only person in Hyderabad to work on bikes above 150 cc from Yamaha) diagnosed the problem. The clutch bearing had broken and gone into the clutch assembly. How did it break? How well were the remnants of the bearing flushed out? No one knows!

This a post from few months back. Is this the reason R3 has been recalled.?.

To add to this, I have noticed that in traffic, if I leave the Bike at idle for long (read 2min) the coolant heat level reaches 4 bars. If I twist the throttle slightly to take it to 3k RPM for 2-3 seconds, the heat level returns to 3 bars.
So this means that the impeller moves more rapidly because of this, thus making the coolant move more rapidly throughout its circuit.

good to see that you are looking around and learning some stuff

In many owner's bike key set has been changed which causes circuit breakage and in their bike's also error 19 issue is resolved.

Thanks,Since this problem started i have stopped taking the R3 ,not sure when it will die out , never expected this with a yamaha ,been riding my Rx135 for the last 16 years ,my R15 v1 for past 7 years , so blindly went for the first lot and regretting not waiting long enough for initial lot problems to be resolved, other than this the bike is great .

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Looking to buy a new brake fluid for the brake lines. Due to clip ons adjustment, we had to move the banjo bolts a bit. The clip on came off and banjo bolt was again readjusted.
Long story short - need to bleed the lines so need a Dot 4 brake fluid.

Online forums suggest 'Motul RBF 600 Dot 4' fluid. Let me know if this would be good for the R3 brake system with steel lines. It is currently working on TVS DOT4 fluid and HEL lines (do not ask me how it got there!).

Hi Dinesh,

I visited Sri Motors and they seemed professional enough. The display vehicle is just for display. They didn't even allow us to sit on it. They have a blue&silver one for test rides. Regarding the waiting period, it seems that it's not so long. I had earlier visited the Yamaha showroom in Guduvanchery and both these showrooms have 1 bike of each color in stock. If you want it, it is available for immediate purchase and delivery.

Which dealer is better in chennai? I inquired in Sri motors they are quoting Rs.369125 ( on road) and waiting period is just 2 weeks.

I afraid they might be talking about the display bike. Dont know whether they did some revving while customer is coming to check the bike.

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Looks like Yamaha is not really bothered about R3 sales figures in India. We can't expect KTM's level of marketing campaigns, but the least they can do is a better buyer experience for their higher-end bikes like R3.

In Bangalore, the dealers are also not keen on selling it. Went to Orion Motors and their response was very cold. They denied a test ride initially and treated me like someone who came to ask for hafta. Next was Vinayak Yamaha, Domlur. Their response was better, however they did not have a test ride bike. The only R3 there was, had a booking already. The sales guy told me he will contact once the bike is there for test ride. There was no response, so I again called them after 2-3 weeks, but they seemed un-interested.

Not that I want a test ride to buy the R3, but now I am re-thinking. If this is the response you get as a prospective customer, what kind of after sales support can we expect?
