"Mystery Ring" is a chain deflector, to prevent a hot mess if the chain derails. You have to be extremely careful torqueing it back on, as if it isn't done one or two turns at a time (using the star pattern of course), the little 90° elbows are prone to snap. It's done very, very gingerly & always even across the star. Take your time. Ask me how my Partzilla account and myself know.
felipe.lucas.r3 I had a friend just tell me a story how on his dad was riding and his chain broke or it threw his chain and it destroyed his foot and he had to have it amputated. Is that what you’re referring to? Just curious if those are correlated, again it’s just something i heard.
@@ApeRiderr i've never heard about these stories. I think the motorcycles are projected to not hurt the pilot in case of trouble with the chain. But of corse, in some cases it might happen.
@@ApeRiderr The ring won't stop the chain from breaking but what it can do is, in the event the chain comes off the sprocket, prevent the chain from hopping around the lugs holding the sprocket on and suddenly being caught on one. Having the rear wheel suddenly stop at speed will not be a fun time for the rider or their drive train lol
So I just bought one of these as my first bike. As an absolute beginner with no reference points, I find how it pulls stock quite ample to my riding confidence. I have a lot MTB experience, but cornering on this still trips me out, but I've been working on the chicken strips ;) Down the track I may look at these upgrades though, so thankyou very much for the content. I absolutely adore this rig, I look for an excuse everyday to go riding.
4:33 it’s like for your chain, slip off the sprocket and get jam between the sprocket and the swinging arm . So the bracket is basically to prevent it from being stuck so easy remove
Yammie Noob advice for new riders: Get a bike with lower displacement because you don't want something too fast or too powerful. Yamaha MT-03 mods for beginners? Make it faster and more powerful. 🤨
Quentin Delautre Not necessarily. On most bikes with 6 speed transmission the top speed is reached in 5th gear. The 6th gear is setup as am overdrive to keeps revs down when cruising at highway speeds. With the new shorter sprocket setup the top speed might be reached in 6th gear now. Of course this all depends on the actual gear ratios and such but the impact on top speed shouldn’t be that big.
As the MTO3 has a 6 gear transmission, another route would be to go in the opposite direction, that being INCREASE the front sprocket by 1 tooth and DECREASE the rear by 2, going to a 15-41. the downside would be a decrease in acceleration off the line but ONLY to the ground speed where you shifted out of first with the original 14-43 gearing, after that acceleration over ground (not in a specific gear) would be about the same up to redline in 4th (~85 mph?), although the acceleration in each gear measured by 'butt accelerometer' would feel less. The upside is that at highway speeds (70 mph) in 6th gear, the engine would be spinning at around 7,100 rpm, less 'buzzy' but still within its power-band and use less fuel , of note if you wanted to do a quick pass of someone you might want to down shift to 5th which would put the power/torque at about what it was stock in 6th, you could even down shift to 4th and be at near peak power/torque for maximum acceleration up about 85 mph. Top speed would be about the same, only it would be in 5th, with 6th being slightly slower, somewhat like an 'overdrive' in a car.
I've done this on a 125 and although it's slower in top gear, it's faster than before in the next under, one. The of the line it's actually better and climbs everywhere with ease! I've tried -1 also, but i don't like it. It's kinda faster overall, but the noise is driving me nuts...
Literally watched another Yammy video where he said "DONT change your exhausts or sprockets, it makes next to no difference and is just pointless, just buy a faster bike" LOL. Gotta love it.
Hi everyone! I’m a new rider and so is my mom 😄 she’s has the Suzuki 250, I’m getting a kawi 650 soon because I’ll be damned, I’m also the speed demon of the fam that overly research’s everything🤷🏾♀️ goal bike, Yamaha R1 😈 thing sounds like a man I’d marry with the enthusiasm to match. Edit: new sub as well thanks for the info Yammie noob!
It’s for the chain I seen a video from TST when they changed the sprocket and they said something to the effect of if the chain breaks or slips of the sprocket that ring will catch it so it doesn’t hit your leg instead. I don’t 100% remember but basically that.
Changing sprocket to get more torque is good but keep in mind it will mess your speedometer (raising deviation). It will go 70 on speedo but actually 50-60 on gps, which will affect your odometer to have more number than what supposed to be
Are you sure there's not a wheel speed sensor in the front and rear, since this has ABS? I'll just take a look at mine and let you know if it doesn't. Pretty sure I saw one.
Man, I have probably watched over 100 videos on your channel over the past couple weeks, I am addicted. Bought a house recently with a garage and owning a motorcycle is finally a possibility for me. I still have not bought one, but am taking a MSF course and buying gear now while I shop for a bike. Thanks for all the awesome content though, good info and entertaining as well. I particularly like the videos that are just you talking with memes in the background.
Hey Yammie I always knew changing the back sprocket bigger give more torque and have seen it done by few guys in my locality. But Neva knew the front sprocket can be downsized to increase even more. That's useful news to me. Thanks 😊
Yeah I usually change front only cause it’s easier and you don’t have to replace the chain or remove the wheel. The rule of thumb is that 1 down in the front is the same as 2-3 up in the back.
Okay. I don't own a bike, probably will, but i love the videos. Isn't the first thing that you should do, is make sure that the suspension is properly set up for your weight, or actually correct from the factory. I've seen plenty of videos that showed bikes which needed adjustment, not just for better handling....but also for safety. Thanks. Love your vid's by the way!!!!!
Went -1/+3 on my mt-03 but I also have intake and full race exhaust. I’m just trying to reallyyyy get good at wheelies before i step up in bikes. Need to take it to get tuned soon to get everything I can out of it!
On my motorcycle I just swapped the sprockets and chain because it got loose. I just cut the old one with pliers XD But I got the original transmission because my Enduro would be much slower (RR125LC 4T 2018) because the normal speed is around 95 kph, so around 60 mph. Wouldn't like it to be slower, but up the hills would be much easier ^^ It is just cut down in revolutions to fit most tires. I realized it when I slipped over some rocks and the chain was just not there anymore XD
I had a R3 2015 form the first launch in my contry and I know perfectly wich performance parts that little bike need. Full system exhaust, high flow air filter, vortex super fast kit, iridium spark plugs, re map the ecu. And is goin to be perfect performing bike for a 321cc
I'm taking an course for motorcycle safety Inna few weeks then once I get the money I have a 2008 sv650 with 2k miles with my name on it. Only 17 at the moment but I have always been a very cautious person.
I did it when I was 16, it's very easy to pass as long as you can ride a bicycle you will pass lol. They did say some people tryed to do it with out even knowing how to ride a bicycle so you already know how that went😂
Given that is aluminum, and its diameter and wall thickness are small, the savings is slight, did you also replace the steel studs with shorter ones, or even titanium ones? If you want to get anal, it is also "unsprung" weight, another thing that is "bad".
@@johndavidwolf4239 It is steel not aluminum, and no I did not replace the bolts however what is the point of putting it back on when the wheel is off? As well it is both unsprung AND rotational if you wanna get anal... Just like sprockets and chain going to a 415 chain is ROTATIONAL weight and since it rotates I called it what it is. But seems you are the one getting anal not me. Cheers
Aww. Im a new owner of mt03 2020.thank you so much for added i formation. Wish i could have an akrapovic from you guys. Watching here from Philippines!
Not to mention it's gonna make it rev even higher and be even buzzier than beginner bikes tend to be when riding at 60+ mph. Literally the first mod I did to my bike was drop 2 teeth off the sprocket to help lower cruising RPMs. You wanna accelerate faster? Drop a gear lol. It's not like the 1st gear acceleration is bad anyway.
some say, that ring on the rear sprocket is used to protect when the chain come lose and it wont jam into the real wheel and make the rear wheel locked up and f up wkwkwkwk
Nice video guys. I've actually thought before of going the opposite on my '88 GSX1100F before. So many times at highway speeds around 4000 rpm at around 60 MPH I find myself pushing that shifter up for another gear that just isn't there. I don't think on a big sport touring bike a person would feel that much of a loss in the acceleration if they dropped a couple of teeth in the rear sprocket, while it would drop the revs a bit and improve gas mileage for those longer rides.
It works well if the bike has the torque for the taller gearing. If you take something like a 600/4 and try and drop the rpm with gearing you find the 600 was all about the revs and won't pull 4k or under very well and it takes the edge off what made the 600 so much fun. Should have got a twin or bigger cc if that's what you wanted. Only an example. I thought it was strange a BMW s1000xr sits at 4.5k ,@60mph where the F800gs is 4k@60mph. The f700gs is 4k@65mph. But only because it has a 17 tooth front sprocket Vs 16 on the 800
@@chrishart8548 I totally agree. One thing about a bigger engine is that abundance of torque. At 68 years old chances are that I won't be looking to win any drag races like I probably would have 30 years ago, but reduced revs on the highway and a couple more miles per gallon would be nice. 😎
Having an mt-03 I've considered this but as it's not a bike I'll have that much longer, I'll pass. I have that same exhaust though. Sounds pretty good and not too loud since the cat is still on
So, people go back and forth on this.. but making the front sprocket smaller makes the chain have a smaller circumference to rotate around thus causing more stress on the links. People still do it through and claim no issues. Also steel sprockets lasts longer than aluminum usually but its heavier unsprung weight. 520 conversion also popular too but not necessary. Its been discussed to death, just some food for thought. Use gear commander website to calculate ratios and mph stuff! Your speedo may not be accurate after changing gearing and worse mpg! Back to stupid work I go..
Im new to street bikes i bought my first vehicle and it happens to be a sport/touring bike whats your opinion on the 2000 gsf 600 bandit S for my first bike ive been riding it and it is very comfortable to me
Glen R that’s exactly what happened with me it goes 120 and thats fast enough for me especially since its my first bike but your right it is so heavy i can pick it up off its side tho so its not too heavy
1 down on the front 2 up on the rear is WAAAAAAAAAYYYY too much for such a small bike. 1 down at the front at most, that will already chop like 8mph of your top speed and give you noticeable pull... This just ruins the bike for anything out of town. 1 down 2 up is only applicable with over geared liter bikes not a 300 cc bike with a top speed of 90
I am not a beginer. But I'm starting to ride again after getting hit by a truck and having my leg ripped off and reattached after a ton of surgeries and induced coma..I need a bike that isn't a beast to ride..I pray for it.. I'm on a scooter .. please if u can help or have any suggestions to help please let me know.. bikes are my hapyness.. I have 2 grand saved right now
I love what u guys are doing i entered your giveaway but funds are low and still need to get my versys out the shop but i still support what u guys are doing dope.
Comon guys? All the chain tool thing and then you throw a clip master link? And if you're changing the gear ratio you will stress the chain more. For sure the new kit will not fail and will always be a 300 but it's a giveaway bike..
Hey Yams you realize when you changed the sprockets on this bike you significantly threw off the speedometer. You are saying you are going 70mph on the highway but you are actually probably more in the 60mph range. This bike stock reads 2-3mph higher than it's actually going at highway speeds. When you dropped a front tooth and kicked on 2 in the rear you made that gap MUCH wider.
Being a beginner bike sacrificing a little highway speed isn't a bad thing. By the time you are ready to step up to a bigger bike, you'll be ready to roll down the highway.
Unless you put a "speedo healer" on the bike after changing the final drive and didn't show you doing that, the MPH readout is going to be reading higher than actual speed. Your ODO will also count more miles than you actually ride. Stock: 43/14 = 3.07 New: 45/13 = 3.46 3.46 is about 13% more than stock, which means at a given speed you would need to reduce the readout by 13%. 70 MPH * 0.87 = 60.9 MPH 60 MPH * 0.87 = 52.2 MPH 50 MPH * 0.87 = 43.5 MPH 40 MPH * 0.87 = 34.8 MPH So, after that change, you are giving up a lot of MPH. Personally, I would have just done +2 teeth in the rear and kept the front sprocket stock. That would have placed you somewhere in between stock and where you are right now in terms of final drive.
You say about a throttle tube mod. Can you do a vid on that? I've got a 1991 honda cb750 nighthawk and wouldn't mind having a smaller twist to full throttle
Aftermarket Wheels, Aftermarket Fairings, Aftermarket Exhaust, Aftermarket Head/Brake Lights, Aftermarket Side Mirrors, Aftermarket Handlebars are illegal in Philippines. Hate it. 💔
Hey! Great video, as always. I am very happy but also very sad. I finished my safety course yesterday, and am now certified to upgrade my license to M2 (I live in Canada)! Riding that little Grom was awesome, and I am ecstatic that I can finally ride anywhere I want, but at the same time, the next few month are going to be torture. I am going to strangle myself with fishing line before I buy that dang Duke.. haha.. Any suggestions on making the wait easier? And as a side note, would you recommend doing the same sprocket change on the Duke 390?
We have different motorcycle licenses in Canada? Least here in Canada BC you do your knowledge test which is a written test(anyone can pass easily) then a motorcycle skill test( in a parking lot also very easy to pass) then you can ride where ever you want on any bike as long as it's before the sun gos down. I know this because I did it when I was 16
@@chrishart8548 now, had he said it could cause ABS light to come, I could believe that as they could have third speed signal reference. I know that is an issue of you go more radical than what they describe on my Z400.
@@michaelkrenzer3296 I know changing wheel sizes can affect abs if you go from a 21" too a 17" or the other round but I don't see how gearing can affect ABS. And you can't go that radical with gearing to be honest 9k @70mph is joke for a 300 almost running 125cc ratios now.
You will need to get a speedo healer, when changing the final drive gear ratio your stock speed sensors are set up for the old ratio and cannot account for the ratio
@@deckerd6832 yea it will change how much your rear tire spins so you will need to adjust your speedo. Even form factory it's off a bit but changing sproket will make it even worse
@@keeponcruisin7876 there is some bikes the use the fornt wheel sensor to calc speed so in that case it wouldn't be off. You would have to look it up specifically for your bike
This is true on almost all motorcycles, but as someone said some do utilize a front speed sensor but this is a rare occurrence. For about $100 USD you can find a speedo healer to correct this issue. You can find around 10% inaccuracies without it. You will also lose accuracy on your odometer as well if you do not use the healer.
Is this the R3 specific slip on? According to rev zilla it says it doesn’t work on the MT03 🤔 The MT03 acropovic slip on looks different then the one you put on. I know they have the same engine so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be cross compatible.
Really?? You never noticed that “ring” on your rear wheel on your old R3? It’s a guard in case your chain comes off to keep it from binding up and locking up your rear wheel. Your R3 definitely had one on it. I’m surprised that with all the mods you did on your old R3 that you never noticed it. Lol.
Not sure about this bike specifically but some bikes read their speed on the front wheel instead of the transmission. If that's the case, then it wouldn't need that.
Especially if it's in the ironic Texas accent that he continues to use unironically more and more in his videos. 🤠🐄 He already drawls the long 'i' sound in the middle of words like "Duke Three Niney"
ABC ABC I know! It’s my first bike. I only wish they made a cb500R. In the same style as the neo sport look of the cb650r and the cb300r. Love it anyway
I got full akrapovic race line exhaust with stock chain and sprockets and I can hit 60mph at the end of 3rd gear. Probably because I can now go into the redline all the way to 13k RPM. Changing the sprockets do you feel like the bike wants to wheelie now?
I just bought my mt03 a couple weeks ago and I haven’t done any mods to it (YET) and I’m loving it so far. It’s my first bike and it’s so easy to ride but I’m still learning, anyone give me any tips on how to get off the start line a bit faster then taking like 30 seconds to go. Tried to do it faster then that and stalled the hell out of it

It works well if the bike has the torque for the taller gearing. If you take something like a 600/4 and try and drop the rpm with gearing you find the 600 was all about the revs and won't pull 4k or under very well and it takes the edge off what made the 600 so much fun. Should have got a twin or bigger cc if that's what you wanted. Only an example. I thought it was strange a BMW s1000xr sits at 4.5k ,@60mph where the F800gs is 4k@60mph. The f700gs is 4k@65mph. But only because it has a 17 tooth front sprocket Vs 16 on the 800
@@chrishart8548 I totally agree. One thing about a bigger engine is that abundance of torque. At 68 years old chances are that I won't be looking to win any drag races like I probably would have 30 years ago, but reduced revs on the highway and a couple more miles per gallon would be nice. 😎
Yammie when is the give away going international. Started taking my driving course thanks to your channel. Keep up the vids
What is the top speed now? I guess when you're in top now it's like being in 4th that's why it picks up so well.
Hmmmm i like that the mt3 run like a sport bike that's the main pro for me with my options. Mt 03 vs ktm rc 390 vs z400
I love the content on your channel, timely and informative... only sad part is our region doesn't qualify for your giveaways...
Having an mt-03 I've considered this but as it's not a bike I'll have that much longer, I'll pass. I have that same exhaust though. Sounds pretty good and not too loud since the cat is still on
So, people go back and forth on this.. but making the front sprocket smaller makes the chain have a smaller circumference to rotate around thus causing more stress on the links. People still do it through and claim no issues. Also steel sprockets lasts longer than aluminum usually but its heavier unsprung weight. 520 conversion also popular too but not necessary. Its been discussed to death, just some food for thought. Use gear commander website to calculate ratios and mph stuff! Your speedo may not be accurate after changing gearing and worse mpg! Back to stupid work I go..
Man STG is getting a lot of attention this week!
LOL @ STG bit. You need to wear a tight 10 year olds "Sheemedium" T-shirt too! haha
Im new to street bikes i bought my first vehicle and it happens to be a sport/touring bike whats your opinion on the 2000 gsf 600 bandit S for my first bike ive been riding it and it is very comfortable to me
It's on the heavy side for slow speed, but super reliable and comfy yet sporty enough. Solid reliable bike, it was my first after dirtbike.
Glen R that’s exactly what happened with me it goes 120 and thats fast enough for me especially since its my first bike but your right it is so heavy i can pick it up off its side tho so its not too heavy
So funny pure Kyle energy
1 down on the front 2 up on the rear is WAAAAAAAAAYYYY too much for such a small bike. 1 down at the front at most, that will already chop like 8mph of your top speed and give you noticeable pull... This just ruins the bike for anything out of town. 1 down 2 up is only applicable with over geared liter bikes not a 300 cc bike with a top speed of 90
Yup, went up a tooth on the front with my 300 ninja.
1 down on the front and 2 up on the rear is an extremely common mod on the CRF250L
I am not a beginer. But I'm starting to ride again after getting hit by a truck and having my leg ripped off and reattached after a ton of surgeries and induced coma..I need a bike that isn't a beast to ride..I pray for it.. I'm on a scooter .. please if u can help or have any suggestions to help please let me know.. bikes are my hapyness.. I have 2 grand saved right now
I love what u guys are doing i entered your giveaway but funds are low and still need to get my versys out the shop but i still support what u guys are doing dope.
“That’s what they sound like” I couldn’t stop cracking up
Yeah today I went down a tooth on my adv 390s front sprocket, makes it much more enjoyable
And tomorrow im going up to 49t on my fz1. PAPA YAM FOR THE CLUTCH
Comon guys?
All the chain tool thing and then you throw a clip master link? And if you're changing the gear ratio you will stress the chain more.
For sure the new kit will not fail and will always be a 300 but it's a giveaway bike..
Hey Yams you realize when you changed the sprockets on this bike you significantly threw off the speedometer. You are saying you are going 70mph on the highway but you are actually probably more in the 60mph range. This bike stock reads 2-3mph higher than it's actually going at highway speeds. When you dropped a front tooth and kicked on 2 in the rear you made that gap MUCH wider.
Being a beginner bike sacrificing a little highway speed isn't a bad thing. By the time you are ready to step up to a bigger bike, you'll be ready to roll down the highway.
Should have addressed how gear change affects the speedometer and odometer...
Unless you put a "speedo healer" on the bike after changing the final drive and didn't show you doing that, the MPH readout is going to be reading higher than actual speed. Your ODO will also count more miles than you actually ride.
Stock: 43/14 = 3.07
New: 45/13 = 3.46
3.46 is about 13% more than stock, which means at a given speed you would need to reduce the readout by 13%.
70 MPH * 0.87 = 60.9 MPH
60 MPH * 0.87 = 52.2 MPH
50 MPH * 0.87 = 43.5 MPH
40 MPH * 0.87 = 34.8 MPH
So, after that change, you are giving up a lot of MPH. Personally, I would have just done +2 teeth in the rear and kept the front sprocket stock. That would have placed you somewhere in between stock and where you are right now in terms of final drive.
Man this is my dream bike! Can't wait to get one if my own!
Can you do a guide on sprocket s and how to choose them for different scenarios?
You say about a throttle tube mod. Can you do a vid on that? I've got a 1991 honda cb750 nighthawk and wouldn't mind having a smaller twist to full throttle
What did you use to correct the speedo for this? or no issues on ABS models?
Aftermarket Wheels, Aftermarket Fairings, Aftermarket Exhaust, Aftermarket Head/Brake Lights, Aftermarket Side Mirrors, Aftermarket Handlebars are illegal in Philippines. Hate it. 💔
I am from India and I love your content sir ♥️
Hey! Great video, as always. I am very happy but also very sad. I finished my safety course yesterday, and am now certified to upgrade my license to M2 (I live in Canada)! Riding that little Grom was awesome, and I am ecstatic that I can finally ride anywhere I want, but at the same time, the next few month are going to be torture. I am going to strangle myself with fishing line before I buy that dang Duke.. haha..
Any suggestions on making the wait easier?
And as a side note, would you recommend doing the same sprocket change on the Duke 390?
We have different motorcycle licenses in Canada? Least here in Canada BC you do your knowledge test which is a written test(anyone can pass easily) then a motorcycle skill test( in a parking lot also very easy to pass) then you can ride where ever you want on any bike as long as it's before the sun gos down. I know this because I did it when I was 16
Watch moto madness videos
Whats the deal with the 8' cheater pipe guys! 49 lbft!
I noticed they didn’t show actually torquing that nut on!!
The odometer and speedometer are going to be pretty inaccurate now
Does the MT03 not take its speed signal from the front wheel like almost every bike ever built?
@@michaelkrenzer3296 almost a 100% sure is from the back... you have to get it tuned up to get the right readings...
@@diegosv6372 even from the back the wheel is still rotating the same number of times
@@chrishart8548 now, had he said it could cause ABS light to come, I could believe that as they could have third speed signal reference. I know that is an issue of you go more radical than what they describe on my Z400.
@@michaelkrenzer3296 I know changing wheel sizes can affect abs if you go from a 21" too a 17" or the other round but I don't see how gearing can affect ABS. And you can't go that radical with gearing to be honest 9k @70mph is joke for a 300 almost running 125cc ratios now.
Watch Spite's eyes at the very beginning...
lol, looks like he's being forced to do the video at gunpoint.
What was the exhaust? Cheers for the videos guys! Love em!
I do not have to go to four for sixty and mines stock. Wut? Shift when the lights on.
I really wanna see you guys buy a project bike and completely restore it! Like an old Triumph or maybe a 70's CB 750.
Ive got a first gen DOHC cb750 that needs restoring!
Does anyone know if he took an extra exhaust gasket and put it over the existing one? Or does he just have one on there?
put a shorter tube on my ninja 400. definitely feels a lot nicer on the hand
I know it sounds stupid, but I'm English and it rains pretty much always here. If I get a naked bike, will it be damaged by rain?
No but you have to clean the dirt under the engine regularly
Fairings aren't waterproof anyway.
All motorcycle are waterproof ( at least they should be)
Wow in love w that bike
What effect will it have on strong torque Duke 390 or rc390.. By improving the chain sprocket.. 😂😂😂.. It will flip it over..
hahaha that STG parody was cool. I'll be waiting for Bart (TST Industries) appearance in the next video... (actually it seems to be his bike lol)
Is the BMW G 310 GS a good bike for a beginner?
Definitely yes. Lightweight and low seat height.
ABC ABC and do you think the R would be worse or is it down to preference between those two?
Hi noob, what full system exhausts goes for Yamaha MT-03 2019-2020?
You will need to get a speedo healer, when changing the final drive gear ratio your stock speed sensors are set up for the old ratio and cannot account for the ratio
is this true and is it needed for all bikes when you change gear ratio? never heard of speedo healer...
@@deckerd6832 yea it will change how much your rear tire spins so you will need to adjust your speedo. Even form factory it's off a bit but changing sproket will make it even worse
I was wondering about that. Thank you
@@keeponcruisin7876 there is some bikes the use the fornt wheel sensor to calc speed so in that case it wouldn't be off. You would have to look it up specifically for your bike
This is true on almost all motorcycles, but as someone said some do utilize a front speed sensor but this is a rare occurrence. For about $100 USD you can find a speedo healer to correct this issue. You can find around 10% inaccuracies without it. You will also lose accuracy on your odometer as well if you do not use the healer.
Is this the R3 specific slip on? According to rev zilla it says it doesn’t work on the MT03 🤔
The MT03 acropovic slip on looks different then the one you put on.
I know they have the same engine so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be cross compatible.
ProTaper handlebar would look nice on that MT
Really?? You never noticed that “ring” on your rear wheel on your old R3? It’s a guard in case your chain comes off to keep it from binding up and locking up your rear wheel. Your R3 definitely had one on it. I’m surprised that with all the mods you did on your old R3 that you never noticed it. Lol.
Ah... Musical edits. Bless your souls.
Make more videos on the Svartpilen and it's reliability and maintenance
Wouldn't a sprocket change also require a speedo healer?
Not sure about this bike specifically but some bikes read their speed on the front wheel instead of the transmission. If that's the case, then it wouldn't need that.
Been using clip style chains for years there just so much easier amd there just as reliable
What's the difference on changing sprockets?
Anyone else watch till the end just to see yammie tell us to watch another?
Especially if it's in the ironic Texas accent that he continues to use unironically more and more in his videos. 🤠🐄 He already drawls the long 'i' sound in the middle of words like "Duke Three Niney"
I love it. It's hilarious
Yup
Any suggestions for upgrades for a cb500f?
A handlebar riser, Puig pegs, and maybe a Puig windscreen. That's a great engine on that bike.
ABC ABC I know! It’s my first bike. I only wish they made a cb500R. In the same style as the neo sport look of the cb650r and the cb300r. Love it anyway
I got full akrapovic race line exhaust with stock chain and sprockets and I can hit 60mph at the end of 3rd gear. Probably because I can now go into the redline all the way to 13k RPM. Changing the sprockets do you feel like the bike wants to wheelie now?
How much of a turn is a r6 throttle tube? Because my 2020 yzf-r3 is a quarter turn to full 🤔
Also what gears should o throw in the r3
You have a parts list for the sprockets/chain?
Whats the size of the spraket and new chain?
I just bought my mt03 a couple weeks ago and I haven’t done any mods to it (YET) and I’m loving it so far. It’s my first bike and it’s so easy to ride but I’m still learning, anyone give me any tips on how to get off the start line a bit faster then taking like 30 seconds to go. Tried to do it faster then that and stalled the hell out of it
Rpms up higher and faster on the clutch let out. On the throttle at the same time
Cant you modify the throttle bar (control) to be more responsive and require less input (distance) to open up the engine
