- How does the Yamaha MT-03 handle high winds?... Surprisingly well! On this ride with wind gusts up to 40mph, I go over some of my top riding tips for handling high wind riding situations on a motorcycle. Motorcycles can get blown around when things get windy but there are some simple things you can do to get through your trip safely and with less stress.

I ride a KLR 650S, at open roads i tend to lower my head just below the forward wind turbulence. If i'm up right the wind hitting my head from the side, throws my bike off line. So tuckering behind my small wind screen and loosening my legs i minimize wind drift by roughly 80%. That's with a large top box on the bike as well. It has more to do with leverage of how tall your head is. Than the speed of the wind itself.
Never a bad idea to practice different weather conditions so you're always ready.
I ride also a Tenere 700 and it is so tall and you feel every wind gust I limit myself to 20MPH winds, , especially out in the desert, the wind comes from all directions it seems.... good job, enjoyed the video...
I’ve been loving my MT 03! I just bought a small windscreen for my commutes.
I have a windscreen on order from ebay and some older screens I will experiment with. In my trackday video you can see a tiny clear spoiler Installed temporarily. Even something that small takes a lot of wind load from your chest. If screens get too big or are at the wrong angle, noise and buffeting can be a problem. Some experimentation is definitely required!
@@mt03experience okay good to know - I’ll try it the one I got is small so hopefully not too big of a problem with the buffering
@@mt03experience okay I installed my windscreen! I’m obsessed! It does amazing for me! I’m 5’7 if that helps you out with guessing how the wind 🌬️ goes over me. But yes definitely game changer for my commute.
@@TetraResinstone I just installed a small windscreen today and it works great even at 6'0 tall. I recorded unboxing, install and test ride videos which will be up after a couple other videos post....The screen will be visible in tomorrow's exhaust sound video.
@@mt03experience oh can’t wait! I was looking at some of the slip ons and idk they all sound like lawn mowers to me
I’ve only ridden at 12 gusts of wind ! I can’t imagine 40 gust!
Things can feel scary at higher speeds but the MT03 was very easy to manage!
@@mt03experience okay that’s good to know! Yeah I still need to get better at leaning further over sometimes I’ll go right up to the line and I’m like ahhhh hahah
