Conquer Road Yamaha has raised the bar in the entry sports class with the exciting "R3". Sporting a twin cylinder 320 cc engine and an ultra lightweight chassis, the R3 offers a solid combination of class-leading power and light, agile handling. Add in the incredible MotoGP inspired M1 race bike styling, plus an easy to ride personality and you have the perfect recipe for a super fun riding experience ! Added Value upgrades include-Tidy tail, adjustable levers, frame sliders, Yosh exhaust, solo seat, smoked front & rear turn signals. |
Performance |
Powering the R3 is a 320 cc, DOHC, parallel twin featuring a 4-valve cylinder head, 32 mm throttle body fuel injection and 6-speed transmission. Dig a bit deeper and you will find many of the high tech features found in our R6 power plant inside this engine too. Highway speeds are easily obtainable making the R3 a very versatile machine. |
Easy Riding |
The R3 has been designed to provide a fun, enjoyable riding experience. To that end, the R3 utilizes a lightweight diamond type steel frame which is narrow and compact with a low 780mm (30.7") seat height. Despite the cool super sport styling, the R3 offers a comfortable, upright riding position which reduces rider fatigue and increases the fun factor. |
Engine |
• 4-valves per cylinder • straight intake path into the combustion chamber for excellent power output • 4-valves per cylinder enhances the low to midrange torque
• Isonite surface treatment on the valve stems for improved durability & wear resistance • valves feature carbon cutters on the valve stems to help reduce carbon build-up during slower speed operation
• reduces mechanical engine noise & maintenance
• offers outstanding cooling performance / heat dissipation for consistent power delivery • reduces weight since there are no heavy liners & cylinder is made completely of aluminum
• offsets the cylinder 7 mm relative to the crankshaft (to the exhaust side) • reduces frictional losses between the pistons & cylinder wall during the power stroke • improved power output & improved fuel economy
• helps reduce "pumping losses" for maximum power output • provides an interesting exhaust note
• reduces engine vibration for excellent rider comfort
• provide fast engine response • reduced weight • reduced mechanical vibration for excellent durability
• excellent strength & durability
• system uses an idle speed controller (ISC) to maintain a steady idle regardless of engine temperature • 12 hole injectors for optimum fuel atomization • system is "tuned" to provide excellent "ride ability" & "linear" throttle control. • "closed loop system" uses an oxygen sensor to "sniff" spent exhaust & automatically adjust the fuel / air ratio for reduced emissions • fuel injection benefits include choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy & reduced emissions
• ratios specially designed to suit the character (torque & power) of the engine • 5th & 6th gears are overdrive gears to reduce engine rpms at highway speeds
• ensures consistent, positive shifting • light, easy clutch lever pull.
• utilizes a short design muffler fitted with a 3-way catalyzer to reduce exhaust emissions • low mounted design centralizes mass for agile handling & lightweight feeling
• produces a strong spark for fast starts • provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms
• fast & easy oil changes • oil change interval is 5,000 kms after the initial 1,000 km break-in oil change
• reduces harmful exhaust emissions • injects fresh air into exhaust ports to fully burn any unburnt fuel, further reducing exhaust emissions |
Chassis |
• features an optimized rigidity balance for light, agile handling with excellent stability • engine is a stressed member of the chassis, allowing a lighter, more compact main frame design • frame features a mix of both solid & rubber engine mounts • Electrostatic paint helps prevent corrosion
• 1380 mm (54.3") wheelbase • 25 degrees of rake & 95 mm of trail • 50 / 50 front to rear weight distribution • chassis dimensions and shape have been designed to centralize mass & lower the centre of gravity to provide the rider with light, agile handling
• lightweight design reduces unsprung weight for superior suspension performance • excellent rear wheel traction & control
• plastic chip guards help prevent damage to the fork tubes & seals
• features a single KYB rear shock adjustable for 7-positions of spring pre-load • adjustable design allows rider to tailor pre-load settings to match load & road condition
• provides solid stopping power • brake force & feel are tailored towards new riders
• reduce unsprung weight for great handling & suspension performance • front wheel size is MT2.75-17 fitted with a 110/70-17 tire • rear wheel is MT4.00 fitted with a 140/70-17 tire
• provide a super sport image but offer a comfortable, more upright riding position since they are mounted above the top triple clamp
• offers a slim design with great knee grip • "reserve" portion of the tank is 3 litres (low fuel light will illuminate) • tank is steel with tough, yet stylish plastic covers, which can reduce costs in the event of damage
• offer excellent comfort • narrow design rider seat makes it easier to touch feet flat on the ground • passenger seat can be removed & replaced by the optional Genuine Yamaha Accessory rear seat cowl if desired
• functions include: centrally located analogue tachometer, digital speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel gauge, fuel reserve trip meter (counts kilometers since the low fuel went on reserve), clock, gear indicator, plus instant & average fuel consumption • other features include: temperature gauge, oil change indicator & adjustable shift light • back lighting is adjustable
• provides that eye catching super sport image • helps reduce wind on the rider for a comfort ride
• unique running / brake light display |
