Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
You can do anything by paying extra cost, but you have to ask yourself, is it really worth the money spent, which usually is not. First off, the parts required, the mechanic has to be competent enough to know what he's doing, and then comes to the installation part, then comes the "will it work now" part. In short, if you require an ABS equipped one, sell the current one and get the ABS equipped one, that's easier and less cumbersome than the trouble at hand. My two cents worth.

+1 For Pacer Yamaha Hebbal and Bangalore Wheels Dr.Rajkumar Road Rajajinagar for both sales and service aspects.Originally posted by Raman Swaminathan View Post
Would suggest you to call up either of them and tell them that you'd need a longer test ride to make up your mind for spending 4.5L with them.
Suggest you to pick Pacer Yamaha as it's closer to Airport road flyover and ORR where you can open up the bike a bit and test it out, if you pick Bangalore Wheels you'll be stuck with bumper to bumper gully traffic where in you test of city ridability.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
While true, the reason I want a rental is more about seat height, traffic navigability and importantly, riding posture.Originally posted by hellgate View Post
Further, will have to see how the pillion comfort is. For these reasons, i feel a longer TR is mandatory, especially if you are investing 4.5l!Leave a comment:

Hand touching the tank problem will be there. Had it in my bike and my friends machine as well. It touches on the Right side handle bar.Originally posted by Raman Swaminathan View Post
As for renting a bike, they might or might not give you the actual feel as most of the rental services do not take good care of their bikes.
I had rented one few years back (post initial launch) however at that point of time, the bike has only run 5.5k kms. They didnt even change the oil which I realised later that day when OIL started blinking. The rental guy asked me to get the oil replaced and he adjusted the amount from the rent.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
So, I tried to get a test ride, and got one at Perfect Riders-Lalbagh.
was hardly a 100m ride in a small dead end (near their service center basically).
Was not enough for me to gauge the bike except that the handlebar squeezes my hand against the tank if I try to turn it in a small lane.
Looking to rent a bike for the weekend to get a better handle!Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
Post Nov, 2017, all R3s are coming with ABS.Originally posted by Raman Swaminathan View PostHey, I am interested. Does this model have ABS?
General question - I am planning on buying an R3 in Bangalore, suggestions on which showroom I should approach and best places for service?
I am not sure of the waiting period, and I really want a TD before I buy it.
Test drove the Int650 today and loved the bike, but still, feels slightly heavy for someone who will use it daily in city traffic .
I am 5'9 and 65kgs.
I know the R3 is like 1.2l costlier, but this is the one i want my upgrade to be.
Help appreciated
For service, we have a list. Pacer - Hebbal is topping the list with Perfect Riders - Bannerghatta and Lalbagh coming second & third. Most of the R3 owners from the group take their bikes to Pacer - Hebbal.
As the new 2019 R3 is incoming, I think there will be offers on the old models.Leave a comment:

Only 2018 model of R3 has ABS. All prior models are without ABS. Mine too is without ABS.Originally posted by Raman Swaminathan View PostHey, I am interested. Does this model have ABS?

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
Thanks! I will check out Motoworld HSR, which would be the closest to meOriginally posted by ecoven View Post
I wouldnt go for a bs3 R3, ABS is mandatory for me.
My first bike was an RTR ABS, and I have experience how useful/life saving ABS is. Wouldn't risk it, especially for such an upgrade.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
Head over to MOTOWORLD or Perfect Riders, call them and fix an appointment for R3 only then they'll dedicate a slot for a longer ride, they are organized and well informed. I had good TR experience with both, however there are a few dealers who show BS3 R3s that are still in stock as new R3 with ABS isn't selling that well now, so watch out for down-sell offers.Originally posted by Raman Swaminathan View Post

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
1. Warranty is not on owner's details but on the bike details, like chassis and engine numbers. If you buy a R3 which is older than 2 years or run more than 30K kms or both, you'll not get warranty.Originally posted by saurabh041086 View Post
2. Yes you can. If the bike has zero dep already then it'll not be much of a fuss. If not, there might be chances of inspection before providing you with zero dep clause. Better check the details with your agent.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
1. Warranty is not transferable to 2nd owner name, it's only applied to first owner in whose name the bike was invoiced.Originally posted by saurabh041086 View Post
2. Yes, for transferring insurance you'll need to pay transfer fee and NCB discount amount which previous owner had got (if you have NCB retention from your old bike insurance you can transfer it to this bike), after that you can get full benefit of Zero dep insurance until bike age reaches 5years from the date of 1st new bike registration, after 5years Zero dep is not applicable.Leave a comment:
