- just a quick review of the MT03 and our 800 mile adventures together. we've had the first oil change and done lots of cosmetic upgrades. if you're thinking about getting this bike, watch this video first. #mt03 #motorcycle #motovlog #scram411 #nakedbikes #yamaha #review #teamyamaha #beginners #suscribe #follow
I put the R6 throttle tube in mine and put on slip on exhaust. It's my daily commute bike. I get compliments at work all the time.
@@ryanallison7044 did you notice a big change in the throttle tube upgrade?? It's on my list to do but I can't decide which thing I want to do first
I could tell a difference when a change the throttle tube to the R6 tube
same. it's an awesome bike and ive been riding for decades
@@AvgCurious It's a great bike for anyone. But it's not gutless. These will go 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds! That will kill you in under a few seconds. It's NOT a female only bike. The 2024 model has also had the seat height lowered to 780mm. The older models were 800mm. My 2024 R1M is 860mm!!!!!! For me I can only do track days as I can't flat foot it even on one foot. I'm male, 5' 10" and inseam of just 29" so riding on public roads isn't an option, hence my delight with the MT-03!
Love this review! So happy to see other female riders giving honest reviews! Just got mine 2 weeks ago, and have almost 500 miles. I'm an experienced rider (but from the Harley cruiser style) and this is my 1st "sport" bike. Def in love! I would 1000% recommend the R6 throttle tube...installed myself (no mechanical knowledge) and it is a game changer. Best $30 I've ever spent!
Oooh that's awesome, it's on my list to do. I'll trust your review and bump that up my list. The long throttle really, is truly my only sincere technical complaint. I made this channel hoping to get more female riders involved. I'm thankful for everyone here, but I'm so glad you stopped in. ❤️ We need more ladies out on the roads for sure, biking is awesome for everyone 😎
@@AvgCurious what clutch and brake levers did you go with?
@@reneel.7928 ASV shorty Ti ... their ''perfect''!
I'm a dude, 46 years old and I'm considering this bike as a fun bike to ride around here in East Tennessee back roads. It's a good bike and you get a ton for the $.
I agree, it's such a fun ride. Let me know if you lock it down and make that purchase.
I'm 44 and I'm getting one.
We r telling ages ? Aye haha. I'm 32 and I'm also getting one, haha
@@FelaIV must be short
@@leeinwis ??? Why you say that
Thanks for sharing. I just got mine a month ago and love it for city riding.
It's such a fun bike isn't it? Ride safe my friend.
@@AvgCurious absolutely. I dropped mine on day two so completely happy you said u also did it too. I’m a new rider and this bike is just like you described. Perfect for a newbie. Perfect for a short rider to get confidence. And the power is manageable. I do wish it had a little more pickup but it’s more than enough for me. Can’t wait to see your journeys. Please keep making new vids.
Great vid. Very informative. Thanks!
So glad I found you. I sold my Suzuki Maurader 250 last year and I miss it. I was looking into the mt03 but as you kinda said there was only big men reviews Good to get a woman s opinion. I’m only 5’2” short lol Keep on doing content. Thanks for your info. Kel
Just switch the throttle for the Yam R3. Matching grip, & solves the long throttle problem👍
Dash in sunlight ?? You have the right personality, and, communication skills.
Will be interesting to see your progression into other bikes.
I'm definitely gonna improve on my content. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Do you have a favorite bike?
@@AvgCurious Returning rider, intermittent bike waiting on arrivals in western / central NYS of: 2023 Honda CRF300LS; 2023 Honda CB300R ( Yellow ).
Otherwise, hopes of 2024 potential arrivals of: 2024 Kawasaki Z400RS (4 CYLINDER);
2024 Kawasaki Z750RS ( Triple CYLINDER ).
What are you aspiring to beyond the MT03 ???
@@BEEBEE58679I went from dirt bikes to street bikes. I love naked bikes and sport bikes. I haven't had the MT03 very long, only a couple of months. So for now it's all MT03. She's my entry level dream come true 😊
Cheapest option for throttle is the R6 tube
Nice to see a recent review of the mt 03, thanks for posting it. I’ve owned a variety of large bikes during my 50 + years of riding and can honestly say, the mt 03 is as much fun to ride as any of them. The low seat height and weight makes the bike super easy to control.
With 42 hp on tap, I’ve never had trouble keeping up with my buddies on larger bikes especially through the twisties. It’s a very underrated bike, the engine’s the same as that in the R3 which has it’s own race series. I have to smile when people call it a “beginners bike”. It can be certainly, but it can be so much more when the riding confidence grows. Look forward to seeing more from your channel, best wishes from England.
I like that it's a 2- cylinder bike; I just believe that a "twin" is smoother than a "thumper" and there's more power in 2 cylinders doing the same thing as a single cylinder bike...
Im a 48 year old guy and I’m just now learning to ride. This will probably going to be my first bike.
Congratulations 👏🎉! Riding is such a freeing awesome adventure! MT03 is a fantastic bike. I sure hope you enjoy it!
Try holding the throttle tube sideways and turn. You'll do a full turn with room to spare
That bike 🏍 is cute 😍 I want to trade in my KLX 300sm for that one
You'll definitely get more bike out of that trade. I hope you're able to get whatever makes you the happiest my man. Safe riding, let me know whenever you make the trade. ❤️
They really need to fix that throttle tube issue. Wish it came in more colors too. The blue is real nice, but it makes it look like an R3 lol. I miss the silver-red pattern from the older models.
I just bought one (same color as yours) as my first bike and I'm a man... it's a bike for people who like to ride... just check out ax rider's channel if you want to see him ripping the mt03 on the streets...
i have 2016 version, become my daily bike. so fun and comfortable to ride. not the fastest on the 250cc lineup, but the power its enough for me.
Oh that's awesome ❤️👍
isnt mt03 a 321cc
looking forward to get one soon but I'm worries that it will disappoint speed wise..
Have you rode a lot of bikes before? If you're an experienced rider it might be a little slower than you like. She goes 110mph which is as I joke to friends who tease me about speed "plenty enough to die". They have a cheap entry price which is good for upgrading down the line as well ❤️❤️.
no i have not rode alot of bikes its actually going to be my 1st bike but I kind of already have that feeling of a speedy bike , rode on a z400 and it was very fast , really worries about how an MT feels..@@AvgCurious
got an mt just today , thanks@@AvgCurious
Where can I get one to buy and how much
I wish to have neighbors like you guys to teach me how to ride. I got the same bike but it's hard to learn.
Aww, don't be so hard on yourself. Sometimes we're unreasonable with ourselves, if you're trying something new just keep practicing. It took us a long time to learn to walk, but here we are just keep practicing. I'd absolutely help if I could and I'll answer any questions that I can. Have you taken the msf class?
@@AvgCurious I did MSF in 2017 and I bought the bike a year ago. But I don't ride a lot . I live in a rural area with massive traffic . The only way to learn something is to ride on the weekends very early in the morning before the traffic. No mountains and twisties and no country roads nearby so yeah it sucks.
@@Voltomess aww that does suck, I have total confidence in you. Keep practicing, I still go practice at the parking lot all the time. When I first started writing though and I only had a learner's permit at the time. I would get my friends to ride behind me in their vehicle, like a sort of body block from other traffic. You just keep practicing in the best safe way possible and you'll be riding confidently in no time.
Pretty sure the throttle issues can be adjusted right???
Experienced rider. Have rode many bigger bikes. I have a 26 inch inseam can I make the MT03 work for me without lowering suspension. I have owned bikes up to the Honda CBR900rr, last bike was R6 I do not care about speed just the ride and traffic stops. I hate using lowering links
Do you have or get a weird vibration sound at around 6,500 rpms? I have a new one and with 300 miles and I’m wondering if it’s normal.
My throttle doesn’t matter to me - I’m in the city ! The fastest I’ve gone is 99 on mine. I love my mt-03 I agree I stop and stretch at like 45 mins on it but I don’t mind stopping 😂
Yasss girl❤️ I love it!!
I seen a vs and the Duke Mtk 390 beat up for many aspects
I’m 6,1. You recon it’s too small?
My husband is 6ft and says it's pretty compact. The tank cut outs would be my biggest concern for you. Now physically, sure you could still ride it, but it likely won't be as comfortable for you. Def go sit on one my friend before you purchase
Hi I recently wanted to upgrade from my nmax 125 to a used MT-03 is it a good choice?
Also I’m a short rider too
Yeah coming from a 125 I think you'll be pleased with the power band. She's a fun, playful bike. I'm about 5'4/5'5 and the MT03 is pretty perfect for me.
@@AvgCurious i will get it once i have the money :)
hey where did you get the windscreen from? do you have a link?
I don't have a link, it was on Amazon. I just searched MT03 windscreen on there. It'll pop up
@@AvgCurious Not many choices on amazon from here in the eu. But thank you loads anyway :)
which country is this?
USA
Thank for your review I’m the same height as you and looking for a beginner bike. I would have liked to see you in the bike instead of your husband to see the feet drop. 😊
You need an R6 throttle body
It's on the list for sure 👍
Are you doing the exhaust???
Absolutely it's on my list. I haven't committed to a particular brand yet tho.
@@AvgCurious Don't bother. It gives you maybe 2 bhp more and will cost you a lot of money and make a LOT of worthless noise. I would also replace the factory rear guard and mountings because in Australia at least, tail tidies are illegal here so we have to run factory standards while on public roads.
