I am new to this forum and need some help. I got my R3 last month. I am planning to do a leh trip in July. I was searching for some good saddle bags which can be mounted on my R3. Which saddle bags will fit(not touch the exhaust and tire)?
I saw some forum members have been touring extensively on R3. I was looking at Nomad v2.1 Saddlebags but still not sure about the bungee cord setup. Is there anything else which can be done to prevent the saddle bags from touching the rear wheel?
But before that, I have a query for you. You got the bike last month You want to take it to Leh next month.
What is your monthly running? What would be the approx number of km done before it goes to Leh?
Roads to and beyond Leh may have improved, but the climate (air) is roughly the same, only a little dirtier now.
Ensure your bike 'can' do the trip. I hope it does roughly 3-4k km before Leh trip so that the engine would have faced most possible stress situations in the plains.Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

Welcome to the group mate and congratulations on new steed.
Great to see you going for Leh trip on your new R3.
well there are couple of options in saddle bag in market.
You can use Cramster stallion, Viaterra Leh Saddle Bag, Viaterra Velox and Via terra Claw. All 4 are good fit in other sport tourer and sports bike.
One thing you can add is that you can ask the SVC guys to fit the Saree guard on both side of your bike and then any saddle bag can be fitted on your bike thus saving the bag from not touching the tyres.
Recently Abhishek from Kolkata did South India tour all the way from Kolkata along with his wife on R3, with saree guard fitted on both side and it was of a great boon to him.
@kuntalnag is already on his Leh trip from Pune on his R3. Once he is online he may help you out with more suggestions.

after 1st service: avg 23 kmpl
after 2nd service: 26 kmpl
These includes mix condition (city ride and highway).
But i have seen people getting 30+ kmpl avg on highway. They mostly maintained 100-110 km/h speed during the run.
first service costed me just Rs.1325 compared to my previous bike (TNT 300) its less than half.Last edited by fusioncoast; 06-09-2016, 06:32 PM.As I gaze upon your beauty, I think to myself, "never have I seen an angel fly so low".

I have narrowed down my search to Nomad v2.1 and Viaterra Claw. Still open to other options.

Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
Hi Guys,
I have one query. I'm going to purchase R3 tomorrow in Bangalore. They are saying they have 2016 models.
How do I make sure what they are saying is true? Is VIN or chassis number enough to get the details of the bike's year/month of manufacture?
Please help!

Abhi
even i am travelling to Ladakh in late June,
i have purchased Cramster Colt Saddle Bag (37 lts) and i found it ideal for R3 , only thing is when the bags are filled they protrude inside due to the narrow shape of the R3's tail and may touch the rear tyre.
for this issue i have done a bit of a jugaad instead of going for another ugly looking saree guard .
i have removed the L shaped bracket of saree guard and made C shaped bracket with the same measurements and attached it to same bolts that holds saree guard.
well jugaad looks crude coz this just like a prototype made. its not made to hold weight, though now keeps bags 'away' from rear tyre .
when saddle bags are mounted this 'jugaad' gets well hidden between and i guess its also lighter in weight than the saree guard cum barbeque grill
the whole thing cost me only 350 bucks.
i guess i will let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

AFAIK, most dealers in Bangalore has 2016 models, just some old stocks at Bangalore wheels not taken into account.Ride, ride and ride.. But always do it responsibly..

Originally posted by Felicity View PostHi Pulsarcraz, I think the showroom guys are telling you a lie (not 100% sure though) because all the 2016 R3's are coming in new colors such as Matte Grey,New Blue Graphic,New red graphic,2015 color scheme has been stopped including the black one(in almost all countries excluding india).If they are selling the same 2015 color scheme then it's definitely the old model.i think you should wait it out for some while as maybe on diwali they will release the 2016 model in india too. That's when the actual 2016 models comes out.Check out r3 international forums you will get an idea how yamaha changes color per year to dictate new year models.
Maybe the R3 was launched late last year in India, and updating the colours so quick will be a trouble since they have to import parts(spares too) with both colours. Now its easy for themRide, ride and ride.. But always do it responsibly..
