    The letter 'K' somewhere in the middle denotes the year of manufacture. Here K = 2019.

    Mine is 'J' = 2018.

    I don't think VIN shows month of manufacture. Only year of manufacture.

    ME = India

    Cheers!

    HI, By any chance did you order grab rails for your bike. If so do post photos of the install. Thanks.

    Just curiosity, can we install grab rails for pillion (some kind of jugaad), or do we get custom grab rails on any site ? If so do post info please.
    Committed was 15 days(which is Feb 23)

    Grab rails; you can order from Aliexpress(try to search for R25/R3). Installation and experience has been shared earlier in this thread by owners. May also check this:

    The suspicion w.r.t. dealer pushing black is reasonable. But its actually the opposite case this time. Even i booked blue. Most of the blue stocks(read at factory since no dealer keeps the inventory now) were finished early Feb. I booked blue color but black is the only option left. Even i had to give the nod to go ahead with booking for black in Delhi.

    Go for the Motofusion one for radiator guard.
    Good one, simple and breathable design and easy to fit.

    Tank grip will require extra adhesive and if later PPF removed, tank grips will not be reusable if adhesive was too sticky.
    Thanks!. For now I ordered one from Bandidos(which ultimately is from Aliexpress). Looks decent. Still waiting to take delivery of the bike.

    Did you book the blue one ? If so that is great, as i was told blue is out of stock

    If they keep delaying the delivery and the last date for registering BS4 vehicles are up then you will be stuck with a bike you cannot register or your booking amount getting lost.
    Make sure you hold your showroom accountable for the status of the bike and keep calling them daily if you have to. If still no update is showing up shoot a mail to Yamaha India with full details of the booking amount demanded by the showroom guys and that they claim it is non refundable and not delivering the bike in the promised time.

    Can somebody please advise/share link for radiator grill. I plan have it installed from dealer on delivery date. So far found one on Bandidos Pitstop. Has anybody used their rill?
    Also if i get the tank ppf wrapped do tank grips stick to it?

    Hi, I have booked R3 on 20th Jan, still waiting delivery. When i booked, i was told blue is available. After a week or 10 days the showroom informs me that only black is available, so i had no choice of colors and still the bike has not been delivered. The wait is insane for R3 sometimes going upto 2 months.

    Which color did you get ? If you got the blue, you are lucky.

    This is one awesome jugaad. Is it possible to modify this to include grab rails ? How effective is this for the saddle bags ?

    My dealer was not pushy ( 5 K Advance) . He initially requested 25K so he could for faster delivery. But i paid only 5K and it took about 2 weeks for delivery. During the two weeks, i didn't have to follow up with him. May be , I was lucky enough to end up with a good dealer and he probably had a great contact with Yamaha to prioritize.
    I have read about the 1L booking on this forum earlier too. maybe some dealers are taking that amount, not sure if its official.

    I guess dealers in bigger cities have more influence and contacts, at my place (Vadodara gujarat), there are hardly any R3's seen, maybe only about 6-8 till date.

    Regarding color, it was otherwise because i was told 20-25 days waiting period for black as sourcing blue is faster that black. Initially i asked for Black since all my previous ones were black. Since matte finish is difficult to maintain, I changed to blue.

    Could be that, some showrooms are playing the safe game to avoid taking orders/delaying orders because it is just about a month before BS6 deadline and don't want to have bike unsold in case the buyer cancels . Again this is just a wild guess .
