Yamaha R3 and MT-03 review - Coming to India soon! | First Ride |

[@sanchaleshkadam2067]

Love how simple these motorcycles are but it's definitely outdated and with an estimated price tag of almost 4-4.5L it's gonna be very hard to hit Sales numbers for Yamaha !

True. They might have been looking to update it to the v4 aesthetic but the remaining stock is what hoksing them back . Thus resulting the out of nowhere Indian launch.

[@soumyadipdas8380]

Motorbikes are not like clothing. There is nothing called "stock clearance" in the automotive industry. A motorcycle is assembled using individual parts that will be manufactured regardless the motorcycle is still in the market or not.

[@arnabchowdhury9645]

Have been using the R3 from 2015 Sept. And after 111000+ kms, can quite surely say, it's one of the best touring bikes that I could've got. Been to almost every terrain with this bike, and everywhere R3 performed flawlessly. Even today, the engine sounds like first day. The acceleration is like new one. The handling and ergonomics are just spot on. And the FE is still around 30-31 kmpl at a cruise speed of 100-110 kmph. Don't think any other bike can do things like R3 does, yes even after taking note of D390 and N300. Have a maintenence cost of approx 1.9 INR/km over the whole period the R3 is there with me, and that's including every spares and tires excluding only the fuel cost. It just doesn't fail. And the braking in my bike has been excellent, even without ABS, I never felt the need of ABS. So this bike has been a keeper for me for sure and I'm not gonna part with it. Excellent analysis though @Autocar India. The rear suspension jumps around a bit but if you try out the preset 5, it'll be much better. The default it comes is at preset 3.

[@RishaadMody1]

Thanks, I did some touring on one back in 2016 and really enjoyed it as well. Wouldn't want to do that on its rivals

[@arnabchowdhury9645]

@@RishaadMody1 , yes. Touring perspective it has been a great bike. Most of my ODO is being done due to B'lore - Mumbai and B'lore - Kolkata and some trips to the Himalayas. What impressed me more is when the bike did Gramphoo - Batal - Kaza in 2018 with full load on and without any hiccup. That's when I was like fully impressed. I'm a 5'6" person and the riding triangle is perfect for me. So much that I used to cover 300+ kms without even stopping once or 1200 kms in a day, such a good tourer this bike is. And for you and Autocar, I've nothing to say. You guys are the end of discussion for me when it comes to automobiles. Thanks for the amazing videos. Keep them on.

[@gentlethrottle]

@@arnabchowdhury9645 Thanks for the genuine user review! Am mighty impressed! What are the maintenance procedures you rigorously follow? How much times have you replaced the clutch and how do we know that when the clutch has to be replaced? Has the engine been ever opened? What about valve clearance? I know am sounding technical but just like you I prefer retaining and using stuff long-term. My 2018 R15V3 has crossed 40,000 KMs and am witnessing fuel efficiency drop over the last 7000 KMs. Needless to say that the engine note has become gruff and gearbox feels coarse. And, when loaded with another person in the rear, acceleration dips with just the engine booming as the revs rise. Your suggestions please.

[@arnabchowdhury9645]

@@gentlethrottle I maintain the R3 as religiously as possible. Like changing fork oil every year. Both wheel bearing, swingarm bush and cone-set lubrication after every monsoons. Chain maintenance every 1000 kms even though I use Scotoiler vSystem. Chain sprocket changed thrice in total - first time at 40K kms, second at 80K kms and 3rd at 110K kms. Cone-set changed twice - 1st at 80K kms and 2nd at 110K kms. Second one had to be changed quickly as bike use has reduced drastically after Mar 2020. My bike had covered 100K kms by Feb 2020. After that, till now it covered only 11K kms. Swingarm replaced at 110K kms as rusting happened. Brake pads, both changed twice till now. At 40K kms and at 90K kms. Clutch plates, total 7 in number, changed once at 67K kms as I was going to do Ladakh-Spiti in 2018. No engine work ever done except changing the cam chain tensioner once at 97K kms. Valve clearance gets checked every 20K kms. Has always been within the tolerance limit, both the intake and exhaust ones. And other general maintenance like engine oil, oil filter and air filter change every 4K kms. Plugs change every 10K kms. Using CR9E. Fuel injector cleaning done every 20K kms. Recently got throttle body syncing and cleanup of throttle body, fuel tank and fuel pump.

[@theordinaryguyparvez3157]

If they don’t upgrade design, people won’t buy it for sure 😅

[@paramchd]

It's a simple strategic move by Yamaha. - Reduce features during the introduction phase. Incash the bike as a whole. - Introduce it as a CBU with a higher price and blame CBU costs. - One year later, Make it in India. Now you already have higher price in place. Make profits with that price. - Then introduce missing features and make prospects happy. 2-3 years will pass like this.

[@dixit8611]

It will be a hard sell at 3.5 lakh, the ideal price would be close to duke 390, twin cylinder will make up for the missing features. But at 4 lakh, it is dead on arrival. No one is fool enough to buy these especially because of sub par service experience of Yamaha blue square dealers.

This again brings out the old rivalry between R3 and Ninja 300 and pricing plays a key role... Both comes with their own set of pros and cons...Engine refinement, less maintenance costs in favour to Yamaha but gets expensive when compared to Ninja 300 which has more fuel capacity, slip and assist clutch but servicing costs are high but offers exclusivity to customers who prefers special preference in terms of servicing their bike... But yamaha does have usd forks so it all boils down to individual choice😅

Its simply hype. It's pathetic. The bike was once very good but in today's competition this is shaming Indian Yamaha fan boys. This whole concept of consciously becoming fan boy and brand loyal in itself is cringe.

Yamaha is missing out a big chunk of the market by being reluctant to launch two more bikes based on the same engine. A Tenere 300 and an XSR/RD 300 under 5L OTR. A T3 would be a proper unicorn tier bike and the xsr would be more like the rebirth of the notorious rd350. Yamaha would sell like hot cakes considering its reliability, looks and nostalgia. Really informative review brother. Keep up the good work. People like you could express the opinion of the public to the brand. Yamaha already said they would produce T3 if there is enough demand. They certainly has the techological capability and resources. Sadly, they are now making bikes for people who don't care about the brand while conveniently avoiding their true connoisseurs. ✌️

Same with Honda refusing to bring back cbr r versions. They had them when they were no buyers.

[@Soulsurfer369]

@@gnanasabaapatirg7376 Only Indian brands or their collaborators care about us. Japs just want to sell scooters and 150 cc bikes in large volumes or sell their premium bikes that cost as much as mid segment cars/SUVs. Nothing in the ~40 hp range that is affordable. Honda is not properly using the cb300r/cbr250 engine and Yamaha the r3 / fz25 engine. Oftentimes they roll out mid segment bikes with a premium price tag and blame the market if it fails. Eg. Cb500f/x. Honda is now trying to eat the market of RE by making bikes that look just like RE with better reliability. Hope they bring something that is sensibly priced to rival the new Himalayan. They could use the cb300r engine in a better tune (~35-40hp) to make an adv under 3.5l. Even, Yamaha could easily use the fz25 engine in a better state of tune (~30hp) to make something that looks like a Tenere under 3l.

Yamaha India guys must be smoking some strange stuff coz they give Traction control on puny 12 bhp Fz 4.0 but not on 42 bhp bikes.. This bike at max. can be priced on par with the new Duke 390. Yes the twin pot engine on this one is far more superior but the lack of IMU, cornering ABS, traction control, slip and assist clutch, quick shifter, adjustable front suspension, TFT display, good tyres and brakes, adjustable levers are huge bummers for the asking price... Yamaha have stamped it a flop even before the launch in India

[@ChrisBOMtoATL]

The point to understand is R15 is made in India and hence the tech team here believed and hence gave traction come to R15 while R3 is made in Indonesia where TC and AbS are not mandatory norms. It's all about using the ECU. Once the R3 is made in India, we might see the change. Till then KTM rules ❤

Having experienced BS4 R3 , These engines are reliable, but not exciting at all. Power delivery is linear , doesn't give you thrills like Duke or RC. Someone with sedate riding would like it but Life's too short to be linear. And Most importantly, Yamaha is already testing R3 replacement, possibly with bigger engine with bigger power figures. No point putting down 4 big ones on an outdated model.

Bro any have indo about aprilla rs 457 i think its launch date is not confirmed and expected to launch jan to as long as apr and it s price, i think its price is expensive then r3 so i am going to r3 sude

#AutoCar Do you know why Yamaha not releasing XSR series in India?

[@wave582]

What's that at 5:34 mt-07??

[@RAYP90]

Hi @AutocarIndia, i understand that we need a better set of tyres but please recommend some. Manufacturer, Size combo would be great

[@Manimal99]

Fit this engine into R15m and it would even sell more than original 😅

[@varun1036]

No TFT, quick shifter and slipper clucth makes it cheaper by price and also less expensive, say if we need to replace the TFT/Clutch. But Traction control, Bluetooth connectivity, USB charging and slipper clutch are basic these days. Come on Yamaha🥲

[@gourichangmai6545]

Only 1 lakh 11 thousand plus km. For about 10 lakh kilometres if no major engine problems appear then only i will buy. I have R15m and engine bearing got changed at 41 thousand kms. Radiator fan went bad two times and replaced. Now 50k km run.

[@karthikh7534]

all good but lcd display in r3 and tft display in r15 is a problem

[@tejaskadam3425]

I think previous r3 was much bettr in terms of look

[@suyash7694]

The lack of features will prove to be the reason Yamaha is not establishing itself in the above 155cc segment. consumers will ignore it, leading to low sales numbers and then it will be discontinued. At least a TFT display and slipper clutch should be equipped looking at the market competition.

[@siu281]

I don't understand why these guys don't want to go beyond the 160cc segment. Indians love their reliability. Their higher displacement bikes can easily give KTM and RE a run for their money.

Bikewale claimed that these twins have a slip and assist clutch... Autocar says otherwise Who's correct?

[@RishaadMody1]

Yamaha simply states that it has a ‘light clutch action’. From what I could tell the rear wheel hops under multiple downshifts and it does not feel like there’s a slip function in place

[@varun1036]

​@@RishaadMody1noted, thank u. So no slipper clutch🥲 Incidentally Varun Painter echoed ur opinion too, while Overdrive went with Bikewale 😅 Here's me hoping that this R3 is a 4.4 lakh on road bike🤞

[@drsubhronath]

With current specs sales figures will be not shocking 😔

MT03 buyers can go for CB300R, the great 'pocket rocket 🚀'

[@justathinker8669]

Having ridden both, I can confidently say: I hated the Honda CB300. Yamaha R3 is so much better.

[@atsonaga5520]

I love the R3 simple looks but definitely not the price😁

[@just_a_dude_99]

I was looking forward to both of these babies but nah ktm and aprillia looks more promising

[@aakashdhus1873]

The Intro Music is so Amazing 🤩

[@ajaxsid9034]

Okay guys, nobody is getting an R3 for how pretty it looks. It's all for that yamaha 180 degree twin engine. And the racing legacy.

[@ashitkotian2396]

I have a MT15 I would have loved to upgrade but what is Yamaha smoking with that kind of prices, you get far better bikes with all those features already mentioned. They just dont want to invest, the above 300cc segment is entering a new era and these guys are still stuck in the past.

[@sosamet3372]

Hey the video's getting freezes at certain points pls check that

[@nischalofchrist]

Could be a consideration if the prices were under 350k. Even then it is a stretch.

[@aravindvenu1560]

Did anybody else notice R3 turning it's head ever so slightly when Rishad was introducing it for the first time!😅
