  • čas přidán 25. 08. 2024
  • Installing the OEM Yamaha R6 throttle tube on your Yamaha R3 is one of the easiest ways to improve the feel and usability of the throttle as the R6 throttle tube has about a 15-20% shorter throw than the stock R3 one.
    Doing this install is fairly quick - it takes about 20 minutes or so to do the whole thing.
    Since it's using an OEM Yamaha part, it also looks great and like nothing was ever changed.

    OEM Yamaha part number:

    Tools you'll need:
    • Small Philips screwdriver
    • Pliers
    • Vise-grip or similar style pliers
    • 5mm allen/hex key

    Thanks man. Getting a new bike in a few months. Moving from a CBR300R to a R3. CBR300R is exactly like the R3 throttle, WAY TOO DANG LONG. I have to break my wrist on the highway to get to speed. Not dealing with that on my new bike lol.

    I just did the swap myself. Honestly there's so little difference it wasn't worth the extra 20 some odd dollars. The only thing that was worth it was the Pro Grips that I went with at the same time have so much more grip than the factory junk. They also have a little more vibration dampening vibration dampening

    0:43.....those are needle nose pliers, and channel locks. A vise grip is a locking pair of pliers with a spring and adjusting screw. Btw, the reason I'm pointing this out is not to be anal, but to clarify for anyone who doesn't know and needs to go buy the tools. If they asked for a pliers and a vise grip, they would not get the tools you are using in the video. Terminology matters.

    2. I see some comments about not being able to have a fully open throttle after installing this. Is there any way to check if the throttle is opening up fully? I notice a click when I wind the tube as far as it can go. Is that an indicator of a WOT or is that sound something else?
