Just some footage from a little commute to the coast. Bike: 2016 yamaha mt03 with full arrow exhaust. Filmed with a GoPro Hero 7 Black with ZoomH1n mic.
Just a question I hope you can answer seeing as you have both a hornet and mt03. Does the mt03 feel very sluggish and boring coming from the hornet as I am currently considering trading my hornet in for an mt i primarily use my bike for commuting into the city centre and very little else the hornets great for it but I feel like don’t need that much power or fuel consumption
Good question man, obviously the mt feels slower but you can still go 0 to 100 in just over 5 seconds, thats not slow by any means. Where I feel the biggest difference is cruising on the motoway, you gotta rev it quite high to cruise faster than traffic, the bike can handle it its just vibey and not very comfortable. And the bike is never boring especially with a full exhaust, brapping round the city is great fun. If I was commuting in the city I'd pick the mt03.

Do you have the stock throttle tube, or have you switched it out for something like the R6 tube. Your downshifts look and sound great. I'm still struggling to get my shifts to be smooth on my 2019 MT03 and I've had it for almost 2 years now. I often end up with the blip, followed by the sound of the engine pulling the revs up just a bit after. Just cant seem to get enough increase in the rpm.
I got the stock tube in there and I heard switching for the r6 tube is a good mod. And I know what you mean about the revs getting pulled up but it can also happen when the clutch is not let out fast enough maybe? Just keep practising bro, it will become muscle memory and you won't even know you doing it 👍
Just come across your post. Yes, I too had difficulty in synchronising revs when changing gear. I think it’s due to the fact that the mt 03 hasn’t got a very large flywheel and the revs are very dependent on the throttle position when shifting. This was very apparent when I downsized from a much larger bike. However, with practise, I am now overcoming the issue and shifts are becoming much smoother. Keep at it.
nice vid bro, +1 sub. anyway, your bike is more than 30000 km right ??? please tell me about your maintenance processes, what you do, which needs to be replaced. thank you, btw I'm a MT03 rider too, my bike is at 19000 km
Thanks bro I appreciate that, yeah the bike is pushing 34k now. For maintenance I change my oil every 4k km thats usually when the oil starts getting dark. At around 25k I changed the coolant, brake fluid and spark plugs. The only thing I had to replace was a headlight bulb. These engines are great, at 34k its still sounds butter smooth and its never been taken apart. No doubt it will do another 34k with no issue. One thing I'd keep an eye on is the condition of the bottom of your swing arm, mine started to rust around the welds so had to repaint it.
@@iride1999 wow, you make me feel more confident about bike, thanks, and yea, Yamahas under 600cc are mostly.......shit, mine got rust at some place too, and please check your tank, it may rust too, under the fuel cap I mean
@@ida8005 I paid 1600 for the first year with liberty. I was just turning 19 so its not the worst but I did have a skills assessment done level 2 so that probs helped a lot. And yeah I dont have a car so its either the bike or a shitty bus haha .
I do it every 200 miles and more often if conditions are wet. Best thing to use in my opinion is gear oil, I've had the one chain for 15,000km and still looks new.
Hi I have not riden a motorcycle for about 7 years , have got myself a mt03 it a fantastic bike. Its quick enough for me and Iam a 68 year old
Nice landscape.
Sure is, thanks for watching

@@iride1999 what's the cruising speed?
@@constandinosk.3251 It can happily do 110kph
One question, please: Did you remap your bike after mount that Arrow exhaust?
Yes it got a remap.
This thing is a little demon on the highway
Sure is man it can handle its own
Cool video dude, what brand are the mirrors that you have? looking to get them for my mt-03

Alright man thanks for the info
@@iride1999 good talk !!!!! Hope to see you ridin on that MT soon !!!!!
Nice video as always! What bike did you start off on?
The mt03 is my first bike, I've had it for almost 3 years now and still love it.
@@iride1999 I don’t doubt it! It looks and sounds brilliant! What was the insurance like on that for provisional? Do you ride all year round?

Good vídeo... Like
Thanks dude
😍❤️🔥
when is it required to clean the chain and oil it ?
I do it every 200 miles and more often if conditions are wet. Best thing to use in my opinion is gear oil, I've had the one chain for 15,000km and still looks new.
My weight is 206 you recommend to buy my 03 for a first bike?
I'm sure the bike will handle it fine but I think you'd be happier on something bigger like a 650 or an mt07
Hope ya went swimming after that video😁
Forgot my swimming jocks ffs 😔
Buen video 🖤🇨🇱🏍
Cheers ✌️
Hi...what country is that? New zeeland? Amazing🏝💜💙

I'm 5'11, Id say im close to the limit of it fitting proper.
