      Can you also post the price of the filter and that of its cleaning accessories?
      K&N stock replacement air filter is around Rs. 4700.
      K&N recharger Kit is around Rs. 1427.

        Thanks for details @saquib3005. I have been keen follower of your maintenance schedule details.

        After following this thread for over 2 years, I have finally taken the plunge and bought the R3!
        The delivery is expected soon once the RTO formalities are completed.
        First thing on my list is to get PPF coating done. I am seeking more suggestion on post delivery items\task.


        Will soon post the pictures here.

        I hope the R3 helps me to travel farther with relatively less downtime and maintenance cost.
        And I hope with the R3 community I make new set of friends for life and that they will help me to keep the bike running in top condition.
        Once again, thanks to Xbhp and R3 owners here for putting out all the details which has immensely helped me.
        Cheers!

            Last weekend had to take bike for some detailed servicing.

            Changed rear brake pads after 66k kms(and that is one of the reasons I like stock parts on R3 more)
            Changed oil filter.
            Coneset and tstem greasing.
            General service done.
            Got valve clearance done.
            Shims are on verge of changing but still in permissible size.

            Valve buckets and shims are placed here:



            Tstem:



            Coneset after 66k, still going tough and strong:



            Stock Rear Brake pads after 66k



            That is the total bill:



            One good change after this servicing:
            I was having jerks in 2k -5k rpm and bike used to feel like jammed until 5k and then used to run good after that. After valve clearance it's perfectly fine.
            Even there was mileage drop from quite sometime and now it is fine I am getting 21-22kmpl now in city.
            Earlier it dropped to 17kmpl.

            Congrats on new bike.
            It won't disappoint you, even tyres are better now.
            Glad that my servicing updates help you.
            Follow the manual but don't be too orthodox with it.
            And do practice a good run-in.
            Don't think about restricting rpm till 1000kms or 1600kms. A good run can last even to 3k to 5k kms.

                I apply front and rear brake in ratio of 90/10.
                Luckily never had a feeling wish there was ABS.

                But it will good to have steel braded lines.
                Galfer and spiegler are best ones and they do give good feedback with stock brake pads.

                  P220 has steel braided lines.
                  If the sizes match, it would be a massive improvement at dirt cheap cost.

                    Isn't 90/10 ratio extreme?? You'd be better off with only the front brake plus downshift (provided you are not close to the redline) in that case. Usually people go 60/40 or 70/30.

                      Have they reduced the service cost?
                      Last time I remembered, paid service cost was 800 rupees and chain lube was 250 rupees, clean was 250, and polish was 100/150.

                          I have checked it, its of different size in R3. It can be readily used on R15.

                          Nope it isn't. R3 front brakepads are very good(The one with ABS version are not having that feedback though). They have very good bite and feedback. And I do a lot of engine braking while decreasing speeds so no use of rear brakepads. Dont feel like using rear brake pads much.
                          Depends on my riding style also. I ride fast whenever required but I am always carefully careless.

                          Yes it has reduced.
                          We discussed this in our whatsapp group, you were offline?
                          So Bangalore Wheels have prepared a chart if all types of labor charges for each segment in cc and have put the prices on display.
