r/YamahaR3

Unexpected but I won a big daddy plush folding chair today at work now I have the fun of getting it home on my r3 🙃

Had about a month now. Got it for a moderately good deal. Low milage in very good condition. As far as a bike in Ireland goes its pretty good.

Ik its not very powerful but I love the look and since ive been getting into bikes its been a dream one to get.

Looking forward to making it my own :)

I honestly can't remember the last time I was this excited about something. I rode a motorcycle for the first time in my life 4 weeks ago. I took some weekend courses, practiced on an old heavy Suzuki that I kept dropping, and last week I picked out my very first bike, the R3. She is little but fierce, a perfect match for me.

Bought this 2019 r3 with 3800 miles. Absolutely beauty. The tires on it are original and are in great condition with no visible cracking. However i was wondering if they needed to be replaced ASAP or if its dangerous to ride with them since they're old. If possible would like to ride on these for a lil while to save up money for some good tires. Recs would be helpful!

This is a genuine dumb question but I’m not sure if Yamaha is asking to measure from one or the other when adjusting the chain. Is my chain good btw? I need a second opinion on if it has a good amount of slack. Thank you

I want a new exhaust for my R3. Ive had her for 5 years and I think its been needing to happen. What the best cheap exhausts?

My new baby 🥹

Lowered 1.5” cause I’m a shortie lol (5’0). Passed my learners course last weekend & have taken her for two rides already down some pretty main roads - scary but we got from a to b safely. Love it already!

I was doing seasonal maintenance and checked my chain slack; the R3 should be 35 to 45mm according to the manual. I measured it, and it was at like ~40mm, but I feel like it has way too much slack. Am I correct in this concern, or is this really how it's supposed to be?

I have noticed this before, but recently, after my spring oil change, I noticed it felt odd under heavy engine braking, which made me want to look into this more, just in case. Not sure how to describe the "odd" engine breaking feeling, just doesn't feel like it usually does, perhaps I'm just engine breaking more aggressively than last season? (This is my second season)

Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone! Bought her back in August 25’ brand new and I’m coming up on 20k miles. What should I focus on servicing? I replaced the tires, chain and sprockets <2k miles ago and have been doing oil changes whenever the bike yells at me too. I know I have to replace the break pads but any other recommendations are very much welcome!

Edit 1: Also has a modified exhaust and aftermarket O2 sensor

Is this bike worth it I've 1500 in the bank

It was 1800 then it was 1500 then it disappeared now it's back for 1200
