Installing crash protection components on your bike has a lot of pros and cons so we address that in this episode to better assist you with deciding which is the route you want to take. We also look forward to hitting the track again and getting around to our WORX package. (no pun intended) - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
My MT-03 got dropped on the left side like you had it in this video (I got rear ended at a red light). The rod that extends from the kick stand hit the ground and bent the flat "foot" of the kickstand upwards. Also, I had spool sliders on the swingarm. That was longer than a non-slider spool and on this bike is screwed into a small lobe on the bottom of the swing arm. Therefore, the spool bent upwards and bent the surface of the swingarm itself...so the slider spool actually ended up mandating a replacement of the entire swing arm. I will be putting on spools once the bike is repaired, but not with sliders, which I think are proven to create too much torsional leverage against the swing arm structure.
I wish I'd had sliders for the engine area, as all of my tank plastic was banged up. The stock clutch lever was snapped in half, too.
To your point, all crashes will be different, but I do feel pretty convinced that if you put spools on an MT-03, you are better off with shorter "non-slider" versions.
Oh, my shift level also got bent inwards, in turn bending the shift linkage. The fire department had to use a huge screwdriver to straighten the shifter enough for me to be able to ride it home.
Thanks for the info! Buying sliders for my mt03 now so will keep this in mind
I have this exact bike I'd like the frame sliders in black in red I can order asap
Stock rear sets fold up which exposes the foot levers to damage. I've had a minor drop on the left side and it folded the gear selector under the adjuster. Luckily it's fairly easy to bend back into position.
I tested your womet tech crash protection, not on porpouse, but i have to say: It worked GREAT, my bike had no damage beyond the crash sliders.
name of the orange bike on ur left ?
Tip for any who have troubles. If you’re unable to pick your bike up, turn around and dead lift it. You can use your weight and lean into it to get it up.
What is the name and link for crash protectors and handle bar ends?
for whatever reason, the 1080P in this video looks way wayyy better than other "1080P"
Can you list your parts you installed and links?
I have this bike in black and I love it. The only thing it needs are those frame sliders. I think a new exhaust to liven the bike up a bit will be a good investment too.
About to get the black version next week. Do you love it?
Car pulled out in front of me on Thursday while I was on my 2020 MT 03 1200 miles on the bike now it's gone. My TST fender eliminator looked good on it while it lasted.
Oh man...sorry to hear that.
Hey why do the headlights appear sorta rainbow tinted?? Is there a cover or tint you applied?
Yes, we applied a small piece of "dragon laminates" tint on it.
@@TSTindustries thanks!!
Thank you for this view ❤️ it gives a new rider confidence for the oops drops
Except driving school crash protection those are hardcore safe.
Why would you want foldable foot rests instead of breakaway? What advantages in track or road do they each have I was a little curious since you talked about it.
Foldable rearsets are good for the road as if you go down, your footrests can fold up allowing you to potentially ride away. On the other hand, having a foldable rearset on the track can lead to issues and errors when shifting and braking and also when trying to get your body position right. Both have pros and cons.
They should call it drop protection instead of crash protection. I really doubt much will help protect the bike from an actual CRASH. 🤔
Crash protection components do not prevent damage. They decrease the severity of damage sustained in a crash.
I've heard left engine cover is protruding on this bike (generator or something like that), any solution for this?
Saw carbon reinforcement for it and also a slider installed instead of left passenger footpeg...
We will likely be making case CNC aluminum case guards for left and right of this bike
Do you know if adjustable Pegs kit is available for the MT-03? because in the official sites is a option only for MT-09. Im 1.83 meters tall and my knees barely fit under the gas tank.
the answer is in your original post
Great video! Is this crash protection compatible with 2017 MT03?
We did not have that model in our market until 2020. I believe the pre 2020 MT03 was in fact a different motorcycle, so at least the frame sliders fit would be questionable on that 2017
New rider here. Forgot the foot peg like a moron and laid it down. Broke/bent the clutch lever. When will the crash protection and short levers be available again?
Real soon. We have had a difficult time with fastener and raw material deliveries. We are working through it and will have these parts back up again real soon.
Still waiting for you guys to ship to the Phillipines 😭
use shippingcart by lbc or johnnyaircargo
@@hexlhieA How can we know the size and weight of the package they’re sending tho because shippingcart needs those to calculate the shipping.
Great video
Ill say as well mirrors (own experience)
Links to the protective gear?

Also the Fame sliders makes the bike looks great.
I am just waiting be available on the website to get mine

any plans on the kawasaki newest zx25r ? if ever it arrives at youre shores..
If they send them here we will surely do something fun with them, and build one or two up for racing.
@@TSTindustries nice .. its coming here in the Philippines they just launch it this month but with a very steep price 😉✌
Those frame sliders bend the frame, good luck after that.
**All frame sliders *CAN* bend the frame or frame components. The following 30 seconds of the timestamp below is super crucial

@@TSTindustries I understand that every crash is different. Not all frame sliders are made equal. If you have single point attachment then all the weight is on that point. I personally would never recommend frame sliders that attach to one point. It’s better to let it fall without the frame slider than having a bent frame any day. Frame sliders that have two connection points are night and day compared to the single point.
Ah, cliffhanger!
This has already happened to me
The rule of riding is that crashing is not a matter of if but when.
Loving that tint on the running light! Where'd you find it?
Dragon laminates!
Iyo podo,apik dadine 👍🏿
I like the rear sets I just wish I could get those for my bike
I like the protection set but on your website it says it’s out of stock (?)
