Another Recall

https://www.bikewale.com/news/37511-...-globally.html

I gave my bike for recall yesterday, since my bike was serviced 1000 km back, I asked them not to change the oil. The service person said that I am entitled for free oil change, and they gave 3 can of Yamalube 10W-40 SL/MA fully synthetic oil. They also rectified the minor repairs and bike wash with polish for free of cost.

They clicked a photo while handing the oil to me.

My experience with Sri Motors Ekkatutangal (Near Kasi theatre) Chennai:

I gave my bike for recall and minor repair at Sri Motor, Chennai. I met Mr. Thiayagarajan who is dealing with R3 bikes, and explained the following problems in my bike:

1. Front brake air lock release
2. Bike swaying to left
3. Rear brake pad change
4. Handgrip change
5. Coolant top up

They asked me to take my bike next day, but I did not feel comfortable leaving my bike overnight at service centre after the recent incident where the dealer destroyed an R3. I requested the bike on the same day, but they said its not possible.

So, I asked them not to replace rear brake pad and handgrip but the rest and they promised to deliver at 7.30 pm (I gave my bike at 9.40 am). I went there at 7.30 pm, after waiting for almost 20 mins, I got to see my bike neatly washed. I went for test ride, and all the problems addressed were resolved.

Overall, the job done by the Sri motor is satisfactory and the mechanic Mr. Thiyagarajan is very sincere and polite. I tried to tip him, which he refused to take a penny - this impressed me more.

Henceforth, I will give for bike service at Sri Motors.

Cheers

Dear Xbhpian,

I want to replace my front tyre, which brand shall I go and how much it cost? I use the bike only for touring and weekend rides.

Hi there folks, anyone has any clue about the 2019 Yamaha R3? Since Yamaha is all out with launches of ABS models and MT15 is nearing launch, can we expect R3 to launch in near future?

Already the new R3 launched last year comes with ABS.

I meant this model.[ATTACH]247112[/ATTACH]

Yamaha India is too busy converting their existing line ups to abs. So, I don't expect them the launch the 2019 R3 any sooner. But lets see.

Since the new model is already manufactured in the Indonesia Yamaha Plant. I think it should be sooner. But its Yamaha India (*sigh*), people there have no clue regarding the new model itself.

I agree. But they also surprised us with the launch of new R15 last year.

Not to believe it as its not yet confirmed. But if sources are accurate. Then it might be way late. [emoji850]

It is already the costliest middleweight bike in the country if we can forget the height of pricing absurdity - Ninja 400.
3,49,500 ex-showroom is not a small amount. The onroad price breaches 4 and it is definitely not an attractive package at that price point. The WANT factor for Yamaha is not as crazy as say Kawasaki or KTM 390 twins or even the Apache RR 310. The sales numbers are going down each month with 10 dispatches in Dec for R3. Z900 dispatched 70+ units in Dec and N300 did 220.
