        It is a major change, if we go by the reports, perimeter frame, USD forks (and probably aluminium/alloy swing arm?)
        But, as you said even if it's launched next year, it'll come to India, most likely, by 2020 so it would be a long long wait.

            Hi Guys,

            looking for Used Good R3 in Bengaluru, any suggestion where to find one.

            thanks in advance.

            if wont get, then should wait for some more months to get the 2018 model.

              So, the mech cleaned the Oil pressure switch(just beside the front sprocket). Now the light doenst comes up while riding. But it stays on for half a sec after engine starts.

                Hi Sambit,

                Thanks for letting us know.
                Did the mechanic also mention what caused the Oil pressure switch to behave this way?
                I assume that it started happening recently and was not the case from day-1.

                Do you own the CBR along with R3?

                  No idea why it occurred. The mech told me, its the 2nd case for him, so he knew, cleaning the switch will solve the issue. Hope it wont come back.

                  Yes it occurred very recently, due to which I was worried.

                  I have sold the CBR now.

                    So, I haven't faced any shutting off issues after the service. But sometimes in the first gear, I feel the Bike is reluctant to pull.
                    Rained heavily today, and had left the bike outside. It refused to start on three attempts. The lights/odo were all working. Tried the ignition on and off and then it starts.
                    What could be the cause?

                      Please go back a few posts where I have mentioned about my Code 19 error and the subsequent recall by Yamaha. Then, get it checked whether the previous owner had got the recall done for the ignition cable.

                        The prev owner had only one recall for the clutch assembly fault. The bike wasn't part of the code 19 error recall is what he had told me. Can anyone help with the chassis numbers which were part of it?

                          Sambit, thank you for the heads up. So, "cleaning" the sensor has solved the issue. I have a few questions, was this switch in question "removed" and cleaned or just the connections that come of the sensor de-greased and then installed back?

                          What do you think about chain lube grime getting accumulated over the sensor and makes it go toss at times? A presumption of mine, perhaps.

                          Cheers!

                          Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                          The girl said, 'NO!'


                          And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                            For this, I would suggest cleaning the grime with chain cleaner fluid.

                              Thanks for sharing the info. Same issue cropped up in my Mojo last sunday after cleaning and lubing the chain. Today after reading your post, I opened the front sprocket cover again and cleaned the connections to the oil sensor which solved the issue.
                              Cheers!!!!

                                Yes the small cylindrical object, which he calls the switch was taken out and cleaned. Chain lube+mud getting into it might be cause as I am doing too much sluch riding now a days.
