        vibration in the footpeg on v3 is quite common. almost everyone seems to complain of this. i too faced the same problem but it's now resolved after 1st service

            Just cosmetics which comes at a premium of 3k. But they gave the white vinyl instead of yellow which is the original movie star.

              Hi guys i got my R15 V3 Thunder Grey
              No issues till now and I observed below things

              1. There is small click sound coming when VVA shifts

              2. Breaks are smooth , I asked technical about this he told bread pad and disks are new that's why , once it get used you will feel too much grip on breaks

              3. Luckily tank cover is fixed properly , I can't see any gaps and I don't want to test it by pressing or removing it, let it be

              4. Engine heats up like anything i can feel the heat till my handle bars

              And I got below points like how to ride till 1st service

              1. No prolonged operation over 5k rpm
              2. No constant rev

              Suggestions need on which fuel need to use
              Speed 97 or v- Power ? Only these two I'm getting nearby

                  VVA sound is supposed be there... as told by SVC

                  for the breaks matter, for speed which the bike can get to, brakes are underpowered,so practice engine braking,
                  engine breaking is necessary to know and to have as a reflex as there is lack of ABS and once you develop that reflex it will come into play when you really need it.
                  Also using engine breaking in break in period will apply nice pressure which is essential to seat the piston rings properly and will help you get a good idea about slipper clutch and false neutrals ( personal opinion )

                  For the matter of engine heat, warm up the engine before riding , as it is in break in period, the engine oil takes time to properly get into places , improper lubrication can heat up the engine and also keep checking coolant levels.

                  -2 cents

                    I got my R15 on 6th of Aug. Its running fine and I am riding it under 5k rpm everytime. The thing is on 15th of Aug, I noticed that when I leave the handle bars with both the hands while riding, the bike tends to go left. On other bikes, we go straight. Did anyone had tried it??

                      Yeah, right.

                      PS: thats sarcasm. Its *DEFINITELY NOT*

                        The same problem is mentioned by a user in the video of youtuber sirax khan and he has sent a mail to yamaha
                        When he showed this problem to svc they told him that there is no issue and the bike is like this only .
                        I think I need to try this on my bike too[emoji28]
                        But he didn’t mention that he is facing this when he leaves handle bar particularly.

                            I feel that only when I try to ride with no hands. Otherwise, its fine and smooth.
