I have to same bike minus the mods but to your comment about people dissing on a smaller bike like who cares what people say just enjoy your sick bike it's a blessing be thankful to God for the pleasure of riding 🙏 and safety. R3 gang haha 💯👍😎
Awesome seeing you make the R3 your own,having something *completely* stock just ain't the same. I actually wanted to recommend a youtube channel that modified the R3/R25,but it seems that you already have it on your playlist :)
I ride my new MT-03 (naked R3) for a month now. 600 km, just finished my first chain lube lol. So far I don't even care about exhaust sound or sprockets. But after a month of casual riding I already ordered R6 throttle tube. Even for a complete beginner stock throttle tube is just off. With stock tube you have to change hand grip to completely close the throttle when braking. And this is so wrong and even dangerous.
OK ! I’m 1:21 in to the video . I’m looking to get my first bike love the R3’s but wanted to do some research on if I could mod it to go faster as I want more power but a smaller bike. Your puppy pic with the hound pic made me say ok this is the bike LOL . You said it’s so different? thanks man. Keep making video and I’ll be around
@Moto Chris.......Dope mods man, I just got my 2020 Monster edition and I want to do the throttle tube swap. Are all the throttle tubes on the r6 standard fit and size or do I need a specific one to fit on my bike ?
# Very useful, sensible and helpful review. , I'm a beginner motorcyclist, my first bike at age 48 end am small 166cm, I drive daily to work in the city and also the highway( Commuting) and sometimes during a weekend round of recreational so, is a good option for me? Is this bike good enough and usually commuting friendly? Any way great video Be safe
Bro been watching ur content for a while and love ur channel ❤️🙏🏽💯 one question tho, I’m interested in getting an R3 or an MTO3 , the MTO3 is more of a naked bike . Which one would you choose for commuting and general fun rides?
I don't know too much about the mt03. But IF it's the same engine and body position just go with what you think looks best. I don't think there's a wrong answer
theyre same same but for fork internals.... otherwise EXACTLY same engine and trans .... handlebars and top triple is it for suspension..... and of course bodywork..... mattera not what ya ride it matters only that you ride
I would sacrifice a little top speed for more bottom grunt with gear changes...... I mean, with a small motor you really need all the pull you can get out of it. And what's the big deal of sacrificing a little bit of top end from it's original top speed of 110 mph or whatever, not like it's gonna make a difference going from 110 mph to 100 mph, it ain't like you are someone who runs away from cops and need all the extra top speed you can get to get away from them on the highway. Gnome-sayin'?
I’m in Colorado too and just picked up my r3. Hit me up on Facebook and let’s go for a ride some time. Not my first bike so don’t worry about me being a squid. I’m in the Parker area but down to ride wherever! Ride safe brotha!
They are not great they are soft plastic and will probably only save your bike if it tips at very low speeds or while stationary. I have heard of people getting their clutch case ripped off by them since it bolts into it
@ColeMelly it's a steel mesh sheet that protects your radiator. And if you're wondering what a radiator is, it's your engines cooling system. It's a reservoir of water and coolant that circulates through your engine. Carrying heat to the radiator which in turn uses A.) Fans at stops to pull air through the radiator to cool the fluid and B.) Uses the air passing through the radiator at speed to also cool the fluid. Therefore removing heat from the engine and expelling it to the atmosphere.
Hey I got a question for you. You seem to ride a lot when it’s cold outside and there’s snow on the grass. Aren’t you afraid that salt on the road may damage your bike and if so how do you deal with it? I’m Canadian so I am interested in this. Thanks.
Well I normally try to ride when the roads are about 80% dry. Most of the salt is gone or pushed off the the side at that point. Snow doesn't stick around for too long here😂 just wipe your bike down when you're done and store it somewhere dry
Hey Chris I also have a Yamaha r3 and want to install a aftermarket exhaust. I heard that you need a power commander to go with. Do you need to dyno tune your bike with the power commander?
The power commander will basically tune the bike for you. It plugs into your fuel system and you can change the mapping in the bike’s computer by using it with your laptop.
Hey Chris, did you have any engine problems or issues running a full system without a tune/fuel remap? Thinking about getting a deCAT system and getting a bunch of conflicting information.
I got an SC Project full exhaust for my 2016 R3 without a tune and so far the only thing I can really tell is with the emissions system it shoots crazy fireballs but haven’t noticed a decrease in power or anything
@danieldesilva8659 I'm planning to get a full system on mine too. I'm not satisfied with pathetic slipon sound i want to delete the cat but some people say its bad and will damage the engine if I do not tune or remap on dyno run or some shit. Shits like that cost a lot and there is no shop which can perform those in where I live. I'm confused whether to tune or not i dont mine the backfires.How about yours still running fine?
@@leonskennedy8799 yeah I’ve heard so many mixed opinions I’m not sure which to believe. I’ve only had my system on for about a month now and it still seems to be running great. Just to be safe I think down the road I’m gonna flash my ecu through Norton Motorsport. It’s only $350 compared to the $500+ power commander and I’ve heard that’ll clear up the A/F ratio as well as some extra options power commander doesn’t offer
REALLY.? You reduced the sprocket? after modifiying the bike? i have 2015. i bought years ago. it is modified. Why make the bike slower. sounds very unwise for a street bike.
@@greyjavu8767 Try Partzilla? Recently got rear seat side fairings(?) for my 2017 r3 from there and it took about a week to be shipped out. It depends on what's in stock in the warehouse nearby. I'm in southern California.
thats a Ram. get the one on amazon that has a Ball socket with a screw going through it. you can attach that into the 8mm bolt that goes through the handlebars
Moto Chris well I mean it’s still fast enough to keep up with basic fast traffic flow but yea factoring that wind 🌬 I suppose is a bit different since your bike is lighter now
Yeah ok I just got an 2016 r3 just for commuting, but I cant understand why people put toooooo much money on these small bikes , my real bike is a 08 triumph Daytona 675 when I want real power, your just making others rich and 4 what , u will be blowing that engine soon 😈
Those are nice beginning mods. I really like the r3 That said, the exhaust is louder, but there's alot better exhaust out there. Your mods are cool, but don't make it seem like you're riding an r1 all of a sudden. It's cool, but not too harsh for a beginner. Stop
any time ya mess with the sprockets ya lose top end? ..... ummmmmmm huh? sooooo we cant go for top end huh? do 1up 2 down i bet ya dont lose top end assuming it will pull the gear..... its loud and yer first bike is why you decided its badass..... sorry bro its still a 300 it still has no power (my stock dual port aircooled VW makes 40hp) lol if the front wheel stays on the ground thru 1st an 2nd its SLOWWWWWWW..... when you move up youll see
