Why is Yamaha not even displaying the model , I mean 3.69 not everyone can afford I can totally understand no test rides but a display piece? Sheesh.. He's more Keen on the BMW g310 but no news on that release, same for the mt03
    3 bikes were available in Sri Yamaha ashok nagar, when I visited last month. Asked for test drive they said it will be available after 10 days.

        [MENTION=34732]shera_ranveer[/MENTION]: Here, posting again.

        [MENTION=82329]JacobJ[/MENTION]: It's hardly visible from the front. No need to remove the fairing, just the plastic piece under it is enough.
        The rear is another story though.

          Hi guys, got my blue baby R on Thursday. I have ridden 350 kms so far. And boy, I'm loving it.. I have got a couple of questions.
          1) it heats up pretty quickly and the fan keeps running quite often inside city even in normal traffic conditions. In heavy traffic, my legs get tandoored. Is it normal? I mean it's almost 70% of the time while I'm riding.

          2) I carry my laptop bag to and from office. The seat design makes the laptop bag begging for space. I either have to carry the weight of laptop on shoulder or back. The bag doesn't rest on the pillion seat. It makes me cramped up while riding and it's very uncomfortable. Anyone facing this problem? Any suggestions/solution ?

          3) the throw of the light is more inclined to left than normal. Right hander corners are quite blind. Is the way it is set by default? I know it's usually a bit inclined to left but I feel it's too much in my bike. How to get it adjusted? I somehow feel my R15 gives me better view of the road in corners.

          Thanks in advance.
          Ride safe.
          1: Its Common with R3, it heats up a little but that is normal as long as you keep the heat bars at 3.
          2: Belly fat much? I don't have this issue, but on the other side I'm thin.
          3: not so much in my case. Have a look at at the night video of mine below. You can see the focus of the headlight.

            Heating will be much less after the 1st service.
            Also while run-in time, if you are riding mostly in traffic, heating is normal. Dont worry.

              Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences

              Hello Delhi Yamaha owners!

              I'll be transporting my motorcycle from Mumbai to Delhi for a ride on to Spiti Valley.

              I'm looking for a good authorised service centre close Outer Ring Road pincode - 110087.

              The reason I'm inquiring about the above is that in case there is any damage to the motorcycle while transporting, I would need to get the bike fixed on an urgent basis as we'll have to ride to Spiti soon from Delhi onwards.

              Thank you in advance.

                      Don't go with the KM reading on the ODO meter,it just shows random averages based on your current riding.
                      There's a light at each end of this tunnel you shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out.

                                Belly fat? Lolz.. I wish I had.. I'm ultra thin. BTW, can we adjust the focus of the light by ourselves? If yes, how?
