    here some dealers charge for washing..
    because i saw a poster in the showroom that there will be 1 week free washing as a part of 60 years celebration... between 1st to 7th july .. but they said it havent applied yet..

    too much scams everywhere [emoji31] .



    and yes i got same day delivery , as i mention in my original post.. i did not booked the bike at first and when the first batch of v3 came in my city at 13/3/18

    3 were already sold out to the booking customers ..
    and only 1 bike was left in showroom ..
    i did not get the option to choose the colour [emoji22]

    and i bought that last thunder grey bike in cash ...
    as the 2nd batch was coming after 45days they said ..

    yes at first i was confused between rs200 and v3 ...

    but when i test rode the v3 myself ..man i felt like i was made for this bike ..it fits perfectly like a gloves ..as i am 21 years old college student and i only weight 58kg i am supper skinny 😅..
    .lack of "ABS" didnt stopped me from getting this bike as the handling was super amazing ..

    i also test rode the RS200 .. before ..
    but it didnt impress me ..

    but you can wait ..yamaha might launch ABS version in the end of 2018... when the Abs law will come to effect..

    and trust me i test rode many bike before buying v3 .. and did many researches on the internet for days...

    rs200 , fz250 and the duke 200 .. none of them impressed me like v3 did ..
    Washing should be free with free service, confirm next time.
    Personally I like the blue colour.
    Meanwhile you can buy centre stand from local market and use iron rod to attach it with bike while lubing the chain. I used to that all the time with my V2.
    Yes, R15 is better engineered product overall.
    Yes mate I waiting for abs version. Yamaha also launching MotoGP version in August, looking forward to it.
    But why this thread is dead when V3 is selling like hot cakes. 😂

        yes both the colours are unique ... as blue is glossy and grey is matte colour ..

        and the stock of v3 are limited .. atleast in my district.. waiting period of 30 days if buying in finance ...

        i think only i have v3 in among xbhpians 😂 ... thats why this thread is inactive..

          days- 30 120 210 300 390


          v2 service intervals..
          KM- 1000 3000 6000 9000 12000

          Days- 30 100 170 240 310
          Service interval is same w.r.t. kms covered except for 2nd service where in V2 you service at 2k kms interval than in V3 where you service at 3k kms interval. Post this, interval is a constant 3k kms. But trust me you'll cover the kms much earlier than the no. of days mentioned

            my 1st service was done at 960km .. 3 weeks after purchase ������

            but the 2nd serive was done at the given date ... i did not even touched 3k km.. 2700 km after 4 months...

            what will happen if i dont do servicing in time? will they charge extra or void my warranty?

              Most probably they will jump to next free service. In case of warranty, they will not honour it. It is better to stick with service schedule for atleast free service period.

                Hai! R15 v3 family... ....I have done my first short distance trip .With my blue angel...[emoji908]️from udumalpet to thrissur (KL)... it's a 300km ride.. through Western ghats foothills....
                I'm extremely satisfied with my r15 v3...
                She handles beautifully in wet roads
                .(monsoon effect [emoji23][emoji8])...
                Cornering is a piece of cake...
                She.. Grabbed all the attention from kids...[emoji8][emoji28][emoji41]...From a school bus...
                That's what I do.. When I was a kid[emoji6][emoji111]️..
                We have reached..Peechi dam..[emoji905]️..And had lunch and tea....
                The heavenly ride...is full of darker clouds with drizzling.....[emoji297]️[emoji297]️[emoji943]️
                Handling and throttle response is the best thing.. Where it steals the show..

                It's the bike..For true racing enthusiast...
                It satisfies with its...own.r-dna spirit...

                No other bike. can satisfy you within the price range....Even ktm series. Can't afford the smoothness and the heavenly feel it gives...
                V 3.0 is not for any commuter oriented biker......
                After the trip...I had my first service...
                Costs rs.960

                  Hi, there.

                  Congrats for such a beautiful motorbike...
                  I like the shiny blue colour 😍..

                  i agree with you .. its the best track bike under 2 lakh .. and the handling is buttery smooth ...

                  and do you feel any vibrations in 4 -6 k rpm range? when in nuetral mode?

                    Yeah! There is...only ..a small ..buzzing in right footpegs... it is fairly noticeable in all single cylinder ones...
                    I think that's not an issue when considering other top notch things....Mr.rava

                          Hello guys, I have installed daytona exhaust on my V3. I guess it is too loud for normal road use. But I have noticed a drop in top speed after the installation. You have to rev up the rpm to go at higher speed. Torque have definitely increased.

                            That is actually what a free flow exhaust does.

                            The lack of backpressure is why you're feeling a loss of torque, on a track when you are required to go through a long corner or consecutive corners you're required to stay in the same gear for a longer time and thats where the exhaust comes to your advantage, plus with less backpressure your top end performance will be better than stock.

                            This is the reason why the Honda CBR150R is a better track bike than the R15 as it makes peak torque and power way up the rev-range as a track bike is supposed to, the R15 is designed to be an enthusiasts bike with all round performance hence the restrictions.

                                Thanks for the extensive reply. One more thing is that I also have installed db killer. It was included in the box. Will removing it be any different?
