Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hey guys!

How much should one be paying for a 2016 Nov R3, run around 30000kms with new tyres, chain sprockets and brake pads?

Hi guys,
What should be the price for Oct 2015, 22k run bike? Sprocket needs replacement, brake pads are good, Michelin sport tyres run 20k.

Price would be around 2.1-2.5L max, first thing I would do is the tyres cause pilot sporty are no good, switch to pilot street radial on back n front for touring and road sort of tyre or ur cornering junkie, pirelli, or metz.

My friend got the YZF R3 and we made the already mean looking machine a little meaner.

Hi guys, just became an owner of the amazing R3 yesterday. Got a 2015 end bike for a good price. And man! It goes like silk. Extremely smooth and nimble. Absolutely lovely to ride. The parallel twins just have something about them which sets them apart. Looking forward to some great experience.

Hi Guys,

Got my R3, blue 2018, yesterday. I've ridden it for 50 odd kms till now and the experience has been all smiles.

Initial impressions:

1. Engine - Silky smooth and loves to rev. Currently, there's a lot of heat but I think it'll reduce after the first service.
2. Gear shift - A bit clunky at lower revs. Hope this should change as I add more to the ODO.
3. Suspension - Coming from R15 V2, R3's suspension is comfortable for commute and I didn't feel the bumps which I used to on R15. I am going to increase the pre-load though, to stiffen it up a bit for better feedback during cornering.
4. Posture - Relaxed posture is a bit weird for me as I've gotten so used to R15's aggressive stance after 6.5 years with it. Hoping to adjust to the new stance soon.
5. Tyres - Metz are really good and the round profile is such a boon while cornering (compared to the stock tyres on R15, which had a flatter profile)
6. Braking - The initial bite is not as good as it was on R15. Is it going to improve as I ride it more? Long term owners, please comment.
7. Exhaust - Just brings a smile every time I open the throttle!
