    How much did they cost ? Initial impressions with respect to other tires you would have had would be great.

      The tires costed INR 4,080 for front and 5,807 for the rear. The tires have good grip and inspire confidence.Too soon to compare with the Metz. The Metz did approx 13000+ kms and started developing small inflation within the grooves in the rear tire hence, had to change them.

        Hi,
        I want to upgrade my headlight bulbs to LEDs. I heard philips ultinon led bulbs are bright and offer good visibility in the night. What size should I buy? H4 or H7? I am only looking for cosmetic upgrades and saddle stays for long trips once this COViD situation is better.

          Bike sub-model

          Hi guys,

          My bike's sub-model code says '2YS3'. It's a 2018 BS4. What does yours say? Does anyone know how to read this code?

          It's mentioned only on the insurance papers. I didn't find this on the bike itself or the RC.

          Cheers!

            That is the sub code for R3 for India. All bikes get a sub code(which is usually different in different countries) apart from the bike name itself and this is normally for internal usage and usually not known to the customer. The attached pic shows the code for 2016 model, which is 2YS1(This is from the part catalogue). S2-S3-S4 probably notes the year change of the bike.
            The part code and main code for the R3 is 1WD, if it may help. This code is used right from the time the R3 was on the drawing table and is same worldwide.
            I am surprised that this is included in your insurance as mine doesn’t have it, nor I have seen it in much of any R3’s insurance papers. But no harms done for it being there.

                      Hello,

                      My bike is completely stock and I even though I have only driven about 500 kms, I feel the need to add few essential accessories: tank & traction pads, swingarm spools, frame sliders, brake lines, tail tidy and maybe a slip-on exhaust too. With aliexpress out of commission, I was wondering what are the other good alternatives? The ones on speedmonks.in, and superbikestore.in seem expensive and I'm not sure if they are worth it. Also, do the R15 and R3 have any accessories/parts in common? Seems like the R15 accessories are readily available. Thank you in advance! And I'd love to be part of the whatsapp group as well!

                          The tail tidy is out of stock on both Amazon and their website, will order the spools meanwhile. Thinking to buy the K&N Airfilter too.

                              I haven't ridden a ninja 300 but I have the honda. It's night and day. When I say thinly veiled danger I'm trying to describe the fact that the bike isn't a new rider centric experience like the 250's were and the Honda seems to be. The R3 has the potential to damage you at the first chance you give it. Compared to a 600 or a 1000, yes tame but if you ride it hard it's less forgiving than its counterparts. GBWhatsApp
                              I didnt test ride it, but I sat on it for the fun of it while my bike was being serviced and its lightweight and upright position...Good beginner bike. These bikes are fairly new, keep in mind. Don't get mad about dropping a shiny new toy. And check insurance rates on them because they are new

                                Grab rail fabricated. The drawing on top is approximate as it was tweaked in real time after fixing on the bike.
