Stock bike with an after market exhaust replacing the twin undertail exhaust the bike had from factory (saves around 4kg) and the sound is so much nicer.
Haha good stuff! There a really cool / fun bike. If you are in nz there isn't many on the market as we didn't get a huge number of then here. I do know of one for sale new for I think $10700? Or if you were keen this one will be on the market soon with both the stock exhaust and the one I have made + all 3 factory keys books service history new 2015 etc. Also never been dropped.
Yes you have a lot more options there in the uk. We didn't get big numbers due to demand here. When these bikes came out we were only allowed up to 250cc on a learners or restricted licence here. In 2014? the law changed and these bikes are now learner legal so there is a demand for them. Try buy one that has not been tooo played with/trashed etc as some people really give these types of bikes a hard life. Also Chuck up a vid when u get one haha
Carter Twowheels the one I'm getting has 4500 miles so I'd expect it's in good engine shape. i definitely want to do videos, not enough of this bike on TH-cam. =D
Hello . Great bike and nice video. Although i have read online than the fuel consumption is 5litre at 100km. Is it true? I think if its valid there are bikes with less cc pretty much same horsepower with less fuel consumption around at 3.7 litre/100km.

Hey mate. I would say if you are looking at a touring bike or taking passengers etc a twin would be easier to live with. I would recommend a Suzuki Gladius 650cc. Have done a bit of two up riding and found it to be a fun bike to ride both power and handling and easy to ride. The only issue is id say most males will have an issue with the seat shape... needs more padding. The MT03 was just a solo fun bike to me. good for that but I wouldnt recommend it for anything else. Cheers.
Hey mate, I am 5'10 and by memory it was ok for me. id say at 6'3 if you have shorter legs and a longer body type build that would suit better but i didnt have any issues with the leg room at my height.
Its all about how you ride and what you want from a bike. A single is very fun due to the punchy feel of the motor where a twin would be smoother and maybe nicer to live with if doing a lot of motorway trips etc. I always advise to try both if you are not sure what to go with by looking at reviews.
i’m so confused about this bike, it makes no sense when it comes to the modern MT line up, meaning, MT03 - 300cc, MT07 - 700cc, MT09 - 900cc, MT10 - 1000cc, why was there a MT03 with a 660cc engine??? Makes the naming scheme make no sense, super interesting!!!
Hey mate. I had the exhaust made to suit what I wanted. There are no single sided pipes for this bike on the market so you will have to get it made. Cheers.
@@cartertwowheels3358 Thanks mate! You helped me just to end a very exhausting search. But for such a built, are there from a technical point of view all exhausts compatible?

@@talha4201 hey mate, it's a decent size bike, wide bar's. I'm the same height, around 85kg. It didn't look like a small/learner bike. It was comfortable for me, however I prefer lower/narrow bars on bike's, so you might have a different option there.
@@cartertwowheels3358 my daily bike is a dirt bike with onroad tires on right now, it has a great size compared to my body size but i want to ride naked bikes now
Hey bro idk if you're still answering questions but I was just wondering what exhaust you put on and would I be able to do the same but for both Thanks
I'm planning on doing mostly normal roads and every so often a bit of highway riding. Is it manageable on the highway? I know single cylinders aren't ideal for the highway but I wanted to know if there's like big problems at those speeds like crazy shaking or something like that. I have a car now that isn't meant really for highway riding and it shakes a lot at those speeds, but it's still manageable so I don't really mind. So my question is a bit similar to that, not the most comfortable but still manageable so it isn't actually dangerous on the highway.
Hey mate, I'd say the problem with your car is more likely that the wheels are unbalanced or old tires due for replacement, unless there's mechanical damage to axles etc. Nothing wrong with a well serviced small car at highway speeds. These bikes (like all single cylinder bike's) were made for lower speed zones. It's hard to balance a single cylinder motor and the faster you turn it, the more noticeable it gets. This is why they tend to have low rpm red lines. This bike isn't unsafe at high speeds, it's capital of more than 100kph or 62mph easily, however if that's your target speed zone, there's more suitable bike's for it. I'd say test ride something like an MT07 or SV650 as I think you'll prefer the feel and power delivery at those speeds.
also how did you connect the springs on the exhaust? i know u said the mid pipe is custom but did the shop also just weld on some brackets onto the pipe or did you seperately but a midpipe
We just use a thick wire, bend it into a v and weld it on with a suitable gap for the springs. It's very easy and saves you a lot of money. I do this on 90% of my bikes as I've always found aftermarket parts never seem to line up correctly.
Hello mate great video was just wandering if there are any chronic issues i should be worried about? Im riding a 2008 model 40000 km should there be any issues? Thank you once again
Hey mate, these are really good motors, same as the xt660 dirt bikes. They don't have any specific problems. 40,000kms is high mileage for this style of motor (large single cylinder) but if it's well serviced and ridden with respect, it should keep going for a long time. High rpm is the main killer. Do you know if the valve clearance check has been done yet?
Carter Twowheels hey, I've got the same bike (I did say I would get one) where did you get the exhaust. wanna know, the only non expensive exhaust I can find is a delkevic
Hey mate. I had the exhaust made to suit what I wanted. There are no single sided pipes for this bike on the market so you will have to get it made. Cheers.
Did you welded the exhaust? Because looking for the measurements of the MT 03 manifold, I get 35mm and all the exhausts are 51mm...how did you solve it?
I had made a custom link pipe to suit. All the exhausts online for this bike were twin outlets and crazy money, also very expensive. So for less than a couple hundred dollars (nzd) I was able to buy this cheaper muffler and make the link pipe. Saved a lot of weight, however it does run smoother with the selincer in. This motor doesn't flow enough for a 51mm pipe. 41mm would be a better option.
Hi mate, I've been seriously looking at getting one of these but I'm wondering what RPM it'll sit at doing 100/110. I've rode my mates Aprillia Pegaso and I love the torque and I'm really not too phased by the lumpy characteristics of the single thumper, but that had 6 gears. So I'm wondering what I'm in for doing 200km in a day with no 6th gear. Cheers!
Hey mate. The gearing is not short for 100kph zones I just have mainly owned inline 4s and find them nicer to ride in 100kph zones on long trips. This does about 120kph cruising nicely but if you have a full I would always go for a 4cyl. In saying that even 1000cc twins are not my thing for long trips haha you like what you like. If I am going long dist il use a 4cyl if I'm going short and twisty then this bike for sure! Hope that helps. This bike is also for sale in NZ now to.
Thanks a bunch for the quick reply and insight mate! Unfortunately I'm in Aus.... But if you could build a big enough ramp to jump it over here I'd take it- watched the other vid and that pipe sounds fat as fuck :D On the subject of 4cyl the other option I was leaning toward was the yammy FZ6S. Definitely a more sensible option but the MT seems like straight up dumb fun.
The issue you get with the low power 4cyl bikes is where they make there power ( up in the rpm ) they are restricted so its a little like a turbo car for lag and then no boost at the top. If you go with a 4cyl it needs to be a full license bike not a learner bike / restricted bike. A twin would be better there and still have some useable mid range power. Yes this MT03 is just full on fun but you really need to think what you want a bike for before you buy one. Or do what I do and buy lots lol. One for every need. Cheers.
I have an aprilia pegaso strada with the same engine and it's got 5 gears not 6. I image all the bikes with this engine come with 5 gears. It will do just over 100mph (160kph) but sits much better at 70 to 80mph (perhaps 90mph at a push for comfortable cruising) before it feels strained.
Hey.. maybe you can give me an advice.. xtx660 or mt-03 660(or maybe 300cc)... like for commute.. and once for a while long trip around 300km..i doon t know what to choice... thank you
Hey mate, me personally I'd probably go with a twin if I was playing on longer trips as they're a lot smoother and have better/smoother top end power. The 300cc range of bikes are pretty capable, however avoid the cbr300 as it's a single cylinder and really not as good as the ninja or mt03 320cc. The problem with recommending a bike for someone is we all like different things. The 660cc is a lot more fun, but the 320cc is easier to live with for everyday commuting.
@@sonny1333 it's really about what you like. From what I can see, both bike's have the same size fuel tank, motor and performance. Do you prefer a more road bike look or dirt bike look? Also look at insurance costs and value differences between the models. But most importantly, are you happy and comfortable on it??? You need to go test ride both bikes imo.
I am searching for my first bike. Newer MT-03 sounds great for my needs but it is too expensive for my buget. Would this generation be good as a first bike for 39 year old for city rides and occasionall weekend rides for about 2x250 km? On crappy roads.
Hey mate. Id say doing those sorta kms id look at a twin. Maybe an SV650 Suzuki or a Kawasaki ER650. Will take the kms a lot better in the long run and id say give a better rider feel. Id really aim this more at the fun short rides. In saying that I did meet an older guy (50s) that had done over 10000kms on it and loved it... I do test ride a lot of bikes though. Happy hunting bud!
Such an underrated bike. I had one from 2008-2014 with Akra cans fitted. It's a super fun machine that looks and sounds great (actually it sounds like a bag of nails with the stock 'cans' so that upgrade is a must). Wish I'd never sold it tbh....
Hey mate I'm looking at buying one here in Australia it's an 2013 35000kms $4500 stock. Are they good on a daily commute? Il be riding for an hour on the motorway each way Will it handle that work? Are these a reliable bike?
@@MSPEC95 Hi mate Very reliable, yes. Cheap to run, yes 2 hours motorway each day? It'll sit comfortably at 70-80mph for a single cylinder bike but no single is really the very best choice for regular motorway miles tbh. Also a full tank of fuel will give you only around 100 miles and there"s no fuel guage so that would be a pain. I'm not saying it wont do what you want it to but for the riding you'll be doing it's not an ideal bike. If u want a fun, reliable, cheapisjh but more practical bike I'd say look at a Street Triple (675) or similair.
Hi bor, do you know wich is the size of the pipe (without the silencer) and where to buy it? I'm thinking about doing the same to you, the original ones are too expensives. Thanks u!
Hey mate. The muffler I bought off ebay. Think it is a 51mm? I prefer the tune of the bike with the silencer in as it lacks back pressure without it and doesnt run as well in the lower rev range. Maybe try a 41mm pipe. From there any good exhaust shop should be able to make up the link pipe. I use Pitstop at westgate. Cheers.
I didn't no. I would say it did need remapping for the size pipe I had 51mm. But I'd say if you ran a 41mm it would be sweet. Let us know if you decide to do it mate👌
Hey mate. I would say something like an SV650 or etc would be a better bike for that job. A twin would be better to rack up the kms on. Comfort is a tough one to judge as everyone likes what they like. Sounds like a good ride each day and taking into consideration weather etc id be looking at a bike with fairings to keep the wind/rain off ya. Maybe a gsx650 or etc.
Hey mate. I'd say it depends on your build. Some people have long legs for their height, others short. I'd say you'll be on your toes a bit but best to go sit on one before you commit to the sale. Let us know how you go👌
@@HiBaby_Gaming you would need to lower the bike then. If you're an experienced rider, you'll be okay. But if it's your first bike, then I'd say look at something with a lower seat just to get some time in the saddle.
@@HiBaby_Gaming personally I'm not a fan of cruiser bikes. Sport naked or sport touring bikes are much better to live with everyday. You're not that short, so the sport naked bike's, like the ninja 300, mt-03 320cc, CB500 etc are all good options. Give me a list of bikes you like and I'll give you my opinion if you like.
Not at all mate. Yamaha made the MT 03 a few years ago with a 660cc single and was 174kg. The MT 07 replaced this bike and has a 689cc twin. I will be doing a review on the new MT 07 soon.

Also a full tank of fuel will give you only around 100 miles and there"s no fuel guage so that would be a pain. I'm not saying it wont do what you want it to but for the riding you'll be doing it's not an ideal bike. If u want a fun, reliable, cheapisjh but more practical bike I'd say look at a Street Triple (675) or similair.
Hi bor, do you know wich is the size of the pipe (without the silencer) and where to buy it? I'm thinking about doing the same to you, the original ones are too expensives. Thanks u!
Hey mate. The muffler I bought off ebay. Think it is a 51mm? I prefer the tune of the bike with the silencer in as it lacks back pressure without it and doesnt run as well in the lower rev range. Maybe try a 41mm pipe. From there any good exhaust shop should be able to make up the link pipe.
I use Pitstop at westgate.
Cheers.
@@cartertwowheels3358 Can you send me some photos of the pipe that is connecting the muffler, what diameter is?
heelo. What Brand of the Exhaust pipe you put ?
Just a tip. START THE DAMN THING!
Here's the video you're looking for.

Dude I know it's so long ago but do u remember did u have to remap the bike after the Custom exhaust?
I didn't no. I would say it did need remapping for the size pipe I had 51mm.
But I'd say if you ran a 41mm it would be sweet.
Let us know if you decide to do it mate👌
@@cartertwowheels3358 thanks for info dude
พลัง!มันเร้าใจ เจ้าลูกโต,
I have a commute of 100kms both ways at around 110kph
I was so daring how this bike will go on a daily trip like this??
As well as the comfort level
Hey mate. I would say something like an SV650 or etc would be a better bike for that job. A twin would be better to rack up the kms on.
Comfort is a tough one to judge as everyone likes what they like. Sounds like a good ride each day and taking into consideration weather etc id be looking at a bike with fairings to keep the wind/rain off ya.
Maybe a gsx650 or etc.
Yamaha XTZ 660 tenere
I thought the mt 03 is a 300cc bike
The new one from about 2018 is 321cc.
The original one is 660cc. A much better bike. Both built for very different purposes.
What si the name kg the egsaust?
what is the fuel consumption?
You will be tanking alot
Hey man i need your help I'm 164cm tall is it good for me I mean the seat height
Hey mate.
I'd say it depends on your build.
Some people have long legs for their height, others short.
I'd say you'll be on your toes a bit but best to go sit on one before you commit to the sale.
Let us know how you go👌
@@cartertwowheels3358 thanks I have the short legs unfortunately
@@HiBaby_Gaming you would need to lower the bike then.
If you're an experienced rider, you'll be okay.
But if it's your first bike, then I'd say look at something with a lower seat just to get some time in the saddle.
@@cartertwowheels3358 thanks I'm new rider so should i get a Cruiser or ninja 300 something like that
@@HiBaby_Gaming personally I'm not a fan of cruiser bikes.
Sport naked or sport touring bikes are much better to live with everyday.
You're not that short, so the sport naked bike's, like the ninja 300, mt-03 320cc, CB500 etc are all good options.
Give me a list of bikes you like and I'll give you my opinion if you like.
Mate you probably confused between MT03 and MT07.MT07 660cc, wet weight is about 180kg. Than like MT03 has 320cc engine, wet weight is about 160kg.
Not at all mate. Yamaha made the MT 03 a few years ago with a 660cc single and was 174kg. The MT 07 replaced this bike and has a 689cc twin. I will be doing a review on the new MT 07 soon.
This is the older version of the Mt-03 which is the 660cc.
