The Yamaha R3 is a discontinued 321 cc liquid-cooled motorcycle with a 6-speed gearbox. BikeDekho and BikeWale list 42 PS @ 10750 rpm maximum power and 29.5 Nm @ 9000 rpm maximum torque. It has a 14 L fuel tank and a 169 kg kerb weight.
The Yamaha R3 is a sports motorcycle from Yamaha. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Sports bikes put performance first, usually with a sportier riding position and sharper handling than everyday bikes. With a 321 cc engine it sits in the 250–450 cc class.
Power comes from a 321 cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 42 PS at 10,750 rpm and 29.5 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. Peak torque comes high up, at 9,000 rpm, so it rewards revving. Its bore is wider than its stroke (68 mm x 44.1 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 249 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. The claimed top speed is 170 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a diamond frame. Suspension is by telescopic upside down fork (USD Fork), 37 mm inner tube at the front and swingarm at the rear. Braking is by a 298 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 110/70-17 at the front and 140/70-17 at the rear.
The seat is 780 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 169 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 160 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 2,090 mm long, with 1,380 mm between the axles. It carries 14 L of fuel.
Equipment includes a digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, gear position indicator, daytime running lamps, real-time mileage indicator, service due indicator and windscreen. Safety equipment includes side-stand warning, engine kill switch, hazard light switch, low fuel indicator and malfunction indicator.
The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years or 30,000 km. For the Yamaha R3, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹2,199 doorstep service.
It is best suited to riders who want performance and sharp handling. Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.
Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹2,199
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 298 mm and Disc, 220 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 110/70-17 / 140/70-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
The battery is listed as 12 V, 7.0 Ah. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
