    They do charge for it under free service as it's not part of free service/general checkup. You have wrong information buddy.

            There's a Yamaha connect app on play store, screenshots show it does have the option for user's manual. Try your luck with that?

              Hey guys quick update , it's been about 754 kms since I got my v3 (got it on 6th april ) . Happy to report I'm getting 60kmpl mileage(tankfull to tankfull) , on screen indicated 1.6 l per 100 kms [emoji7] , 60 :40 highway : city . This is one awesome bike . Just did service last week because of warranty issues ( they recorded the sale on 26th march so had to take it in ) . 1st free service amounted to about 768 rupees . Still need to get the confirmation about registration. Had to visit the RTO , kochi for about 3-4 times before I could successfully hand in the papers . They told me it'll take a month for me to get the RC Book .

                  You’re getting some amazing figures on mileage .I never got above 45-50 with same usage as yours
                  Mine is 3.5 k on odo.
                  You must be having the ABS variant right since you got in march

                    Yeah bro , got the abs model, feb manufactured. I was waiting for mt 15 to launch since January but wasn't exactly pleased when it did launch (single abs )[emoji22] so jumped for r15 v3 . I'm a complete newbie to bikes , my previous ride was a activa 2004 .But know most of the basics through tutorials and friends . Hoping to get a lot better as time goes by .
                    Also has anyone here tried ride on air seats ? I did a 240 km ride with 3 breaks in between . Have to say , felt pain in the thighs afterwards which lasted for 12-18 hours

                        I guess you'll have to wait for an actual V3 owner for that.

                            Valve adjustment is usually free but injector clean not. You don't need to get injector clean for at least 20k. Ignore what company say.

                              It's been around 11 months to be precise since i have bought this bike and have covered about 6000 kms which is quite less road distance in my opinion. I have a non-abs variant. But i can assure you r15 v3 won't disappoint you in performance and mileage whatsoever. The only con i'm gonna say is the discomfort which you'll soon get used to. Other than that it's a marvelous bike, something i've never had the experience of as it is a sport which gives you stupendous handling and control. The brakes are precise (some people may say they are not as powerful but trust me they are) they are soft at first when you pull the lever makes sense because when you're riding at 100+ kmph you don't want the brakes to lock the tyre. The looks are the key of this bike and feels like you're riding a 300-600cc. The mileage is amazing, i've been getting around 47-52 kmpl( i use speed petrol and fill nitrogen in the tyres). The slipper clutch is phenomenal when you're using it right, a big helper in traffic. And on a side note when you're speeding and cross the 7,400 rpm mark the vva kicks in and you'll feel the boost in power at that moment lean yourself on the tank to get to the top speed learning helps the bike to be fully aerodynamic. I personally touched 147kmph but didn't cross this mark just to be safe. For those people who experience fatigue due to aggressive riding position, my advice to you is to not put pressure on the arms but lighten your arms and stiffen your hips for minimizing the discomfort.

                                On R3, this thing will raise the seat height and you might not like it on your R15.
