    Guessing, even I believe. But he may have some unofficial news. Because I checked multiple times before this and he maintained that he had no idea about the launch.

      I dont blame those companies but the market in India is very different! people will shed lakhs to purchase gold! When I said 4 laks for a bike, my dad replied," Go get an Alto800". Even though R3 has been successful throughout the world, number of units it sold in India is comparitivly low! We think thrice to shed those extra 30k for ABS!

        True. But most of the enthusiast would not bother additional 30k for safety. Yes ABS should not be mandatory, rather it should provide as option, just like CBR. Anyways I already gave up hopes for these companies and all the rumors of all the bikes getting ABS by 2019 is a joke to me.

          ABS should come as an option! But I'm not sure that ABS is a life saver in our country roads! A lot has to be changed! But recently the 300 segment is rushing! new launches! Atleast yamaha launches upgraded R3 but not R25

            Fully agree. If a bike enthusiast can spend 4L for a bike, why not extra 20-30k for ABS.
            Am sure 99% of them will get it.

              Hey guys,
              Recently, I noticed at some occasion was unable to engage gear, downshifting to either 2nd or 1st at speed of 10-20kmph. Also while riding for a while the downshift results in a rather noticable "clunk".
              I had completed 2nd service and all the two recalls done.
              Is it normal? I'm bit worried.

                Loosen the clutch cable a little bit, say 0.5-0.75 turns as shown, it will be fine. Use 5 Rupee coin or Plier to loose it.

                  Hey guys
                  I recently changed my r15 tyre from stock mrf 130/70 to Michelin pilot street 140/70. Can someone pls tell me the normal air pressure I should maintain in the cold tyres.

                  Thanks in advance.

                  Ride safe

                      Yes but the question can be easily answerable in this thread as most of the r3 owners own that sized tyre or maybe the same model.

                      P.S
                      I have also posted this on the related forum. I think its not a wrong move to participate in other threads as well. No offense intended bro.

                      Cheers

                        R3 and R15 uses different speed rating tyres, S in R15 and H in R3. So, according to me tyre pressure will also vary.

                          Yes. For Michelin pilot street it is 66H and mention as 41psi while cold. Does that mean I should maintain the same?

                            I have no idea what pressure we have to keep on R15 with Michelin pilot street radials.

                            On R3, I keep 28F and 32R.

                              Thanks. Got R15 it is 62H which should have 32psi recommended by yamaha. I assume the pressure should be more than 32 for an upsized tyre,isn't it?
