                    Media has reported it will come in June , Ex-Yamaha guy i know said R-3 was BS-IV model which was registered has BS-III , according to his former colleagues still in Yamaha, 2017 might come with ABS as Option since ABS was only introduced this year in many market like USA only in 2017 , Price could go up by 20-25k . Slipper Clutch will not come in 2017 model but will come in revised model planned for 2019 .

                      [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]Vinayak Yamaha at Bangalore has no clue about the R3 however they are open to take booking for it @ Rs 10,000 with a wait time of 90 days and incase of cancellation they will charge Rs 1000 from dealership..

                      Check the call recording which is here
                      I've already escalated this to Yamaha India Customer care based out of Delhi

                      • Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences

                        Hey Guys,
                        Need a quick info regarding chain slack.
                        Recently I went for 3rd service. Afterwards I noticed the bike's chain seems to be over tightened. I could feel a little vibration on my clutch lever whenever I declutch. I checked the chain slack and it was nearly an inch play if not more. Previously, I could go to 6th gear only after 70kmph, but now it urges at 56-60kmph. The engine braking also started to become more aggresive than earlier.

                        My questions:
                        1. What would be an ideal slack in this case?
                        2. Is my above feedback due to chain adjustment done?
                        3. Will the engine exerts more pressure due to over-tightened chain (The radiator fan kicks in early than usual after the service though the temp gauge still shows 3 bars)?

                        Thanks!

                          That's Typical Sales Pep Talk don't fall for it . Wait till Bike is launched officially , 90 day remark is due to lack of communication from the company .

                              This is like a robbery. they dont have any clue about the bike. Yet they ask us to pay the advance amount. then there is a deduction for cancellation ?

                              Its better to wait till official launch.
