Hello people!!
I have just bought the 2018 yamaha r3!! This was the thread which helped me to choose my bike. And am new to a 200+ cc bike.
My concern is that , the first start of my bike gave out smoke ( when reved) from the "engine or radiator" (not exhaust) , when asked to the service person he said thats usual in all the bikes first start . Is that ok??

I had the same thing happening in my bike a month ago without revving but now it's no longer there.
How many kilometer's have you done?

Check RR310 brake lines.

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.

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:

Coneset after 66k, still going tough and strong:

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.
