Saving up for an r3. Just got my first job. So excited.
Got 2018 for a beginner and I just decided to stay on it after two years. 30k KM done on her and still makes me very happy.
Mikee Pham does it ever get boring?
Just get an R1
Same here. Today is my first day
@@aura_daddy how can it ever get boring? Unless you engaging in street races which is not right.
Dude I'm 45 and I just bought an r3 .
Waiting on the guy at the shop to put it together from the box.
I got nothing to prove I just want to ride .
And I don't want to die.
This is what I want to do. 45 and have 2 cars, and don't want to break the bank for a 3rd ride that will just be used to ride to work.
Ever notice professional riders on RUclips that do bike reviews on these "little" bikes (R3, KTM Duke 390, etc.) LOVE THEM. Fun is fun!!
Pal I'm almost 67 and my last bike was a 1974 Kaw 3cyl 2 stroke 400cc. (s3) and I'm hyped about the R3. I want one!
Just bought one for my son to learn on. Been riding for 27 years and I'm having a blast with it. Thinking about tracking it when the boy is finished with it.
I'm with the guy who said he's 45 well I'm 58 & getting this r3 like he I don't want 2fly r die
I am pretty sure those haters doesn't even owns a bike at all
Coz real riders don't judge other riders🖒
@Aswin, I ride a Suzuki 115cc...Pls. don't judge me.
I was just about to say this!
That's true... that's the fact...
Everyone who hate are just submitting their comment without try or ride the bike and you're right... they don't even own the bike
Aswin agreed man , i respect that
slow bikes are like Takumi in Initail D.. it's slow but beats the hell out of people in skill
I bought the 2020 yzf r3 about 4 months ago. It has surpassed any stigma I've heard. Its my first bike and it meets any demands I crave. It wheelies, above 100 mph, customisable, excellent handling, weight to hp ratio It perfect. Great launches. All over. Highly recommended. And it cost half as much as other bikes. Remember it's not about what ppl think; it's about what you think.
Also cost half as much in upkeep as well.
Two tires for the price of one tire on an R6.
I started on a 650 and I won’t ever knock anything underneath it, we all ride, we all need to be safe :)
Just bought my new r3 today and I can say it is extremely intoxicating. I always find myself with a smile on my face, and I have no problem with the displacement. it's about riding safe and enjoying the machine! Don't let anyone make you second guess this bike or any small displacement bike for that matter!
I simply tell them I bought it for commuting and it gets over 50 miles to the gallon. That usually shuts them up.
The reason why Yamaha clutch is sometimes failed to neutral is because the clutch friction plates will expand when the engine gets hot. Try to adjust the clutch adjustment near the clutch handle, and you should do that when the engine hot. Don't forget to use good engine oil too. I hope that helps you.
I'm getting an r3, I'm 17 and I can't wait to get on the road
I saw the R3 at the shop and fell in love with it and now I’m currently in the process of getting everything before I get the bike, and man am I so lucky that you have all these videos cause like yourself I’m a beginner so you’re basically giving me a whole layout 🙏🏾 you content is funny too🔥 stay up man💪🏾
I currently have a 650 touring bike and I am seriously looking into getting a 300-400 cc to cruse in town as the 650 is just too big to get through traffic. I think the R3 is the perfect ride for my situation. Nice realistic video thanks for sharing.
You need to be shifting better, you're shifting too lightly so wearing something like proper motorcycle boots tends to help.
Also could be a misadjustment on the bike
False neutrals can happen on any bike. The r3 is a track killer. They set sick lap times compared to even some 1000cc. You are right about the mirrors, but just stay observant. Theft is bound to happen if ur bike is sitting out. 5 guys from my group had their bikes jacked this week.
I've had mine for four years and never had a false neutral. Make sure your clutch is fully engaged, and you replace the short gear shift lever with one that is actually long enough for adult feet. The shifts will improve and engage the gears properly.
Been riding for years man, and I'm in the process of getting an R3 as well. Don't listen to haters man, cuz the same ones hating, are the same ones that think the Grom is an awesome bike.... 🤔 Ride on and enjoy man
I have the same exact bike. Love this baby to death! I've never had any issues with Neutral, but then again, looking at the comments, I have always worn riding boots. With the phone mount, I've found a way to mount the phone on an off-stem mount to the left of the center stem. It's so much cleaner and the install is easy. You just need to buy a screw and bolt from Home Depot or Lowe's and you have a very solid ram mount. Next, man this bike kills curves. They're so light and nimble and to be able to go on mountains and twisties and practice doing those on this bike, it's so much easier than 600's and liter bikes. So you're absolutely right when it comes to those haters out there that put you down because you have a 321cc bike. Of course you probably can't beat those guys on the highway because anyone can pull the throttle, but you'll definitely always, ALWAYS, beat them on those twisties and they'll be shameful that they said those things. Skill beats ignorance. For the mirrors, I still have to tuck my elbows in whenever I'm trying to look in the mirrors. The mirrors only go out so far and I even have a smaller frame since I'm a short female. Guys out there probably have a harder time since they have a bigger frame. Last but not least, love the bike and the bike will love you! Ride safe out there and thanks for this video!!
The neutral problem it’s actually you, it’s call muzzle memory, where your foot gets used to shift to certain point and not all the way up as it should, there is better phone mount option just need to research a little harder, mirrors, you only need one but most of the time you don’t really need them at all
I'm going to be starting on a 500, though I cant complain about the R3 because it's a gorgeous bike and it's made to practically mimic the R6 which looks absolutely killer
I started out on an FZ6R,traded to a CBR600RR,Traded up to an R1. The R3 didn't exist when I first started riding. I hopped on my buddies Ninja 300, and to tell you how fun it is to run through all the gears and keeping it close to legal. I feel a small displacement bike will teach you how to be a better rider and keep you from getting speeding tickets at the same time.
FYI to all R3 riders, the false neutral is a known issue and there’s a recall for a free repair.
Thank you I’m currently looking for one as my first motorcycle I’ve been riding motocross my whole life and I’m in my 20s now and I don’t want to kill myself on the jumps so I’m gonna ride on the street legally I’m buying one of these next week so thank you everyone for the comments negative or positive it shows me what to look out for
What years?
Because I have a 2015 and it only happens when I wear tennis shoes.
I have R25 version, you can minimize the false neutral by replacing gear Shifting lever with racing footpeg and make it reverse. 1 pull up, 2-6 pull down.
I 100% agree with you on the mirrors. They are terrible. I bought the extensions last year and it was a huge improvement.
ok so ure talking about "THERE'S NO SHAME IN RIDING A 300"....well let me tell you.. where I'm from..."A 300cc TWIN" (R3) is basically a superbike which not every1 can afford..
Kkkkk that's true, here in Brazil, It costs 26.000 reais...
Yes in the Philippines the standard motorcycle are 125cc you'll be surprised how fancy and unreal to have a yamaha R3 from the city where I'm from its almost like a dream
Here in Asian countries having 300 cc bikes is a big thing .
Between usd 7000 and 8000 here in Argentina (old model: analog tachometer)😔
Oh, many american riders ride 600cc supersport sportbikes as first bikes.
I ride a 2018 R3 and I’ve had it since July 2018. The false neutral thing happens to me more than I’d like to admit lmaooo. I believe the only solution is just to click up harder from 1st to 2nd; sometimes I kinda zone out and click up too softly sometimes.
It's either your boots you're wearing or you need to adjust the foot shifter lower.
I've ridden all sized bikes and low displacement 250s and 300s are the most fun. They're light, nimble, fuel efficient, and you can't get into 150mph trouble. I think these top out at 90 or so and I'd rather get a ticket for going 90 than 150
A lot of which is stated is because of production cost. And honestly it never really hurts the R3 in sales. It's a fun, sexy, and exciting bike. Everyone will turn heads regardless of displacement.
HEY BRO. WELCOME TO RIDING. I STARTED RIDING TWO YEARS AGO AND I STARTED ON A 2017 YZFR3 (MATTE BLACK AND RED). THE R3 IS A GREAT BIKE, EVEN BETTER WITH THE 2019, TO START RIDING ON. I DID EXPERIENCE SOME FALSE NEUTRALS BUT IT WAS MY FAULT. AFTER ADJUSTING MY SHIFTER DOWN, WHICH ALLOWED ME TO TAP OUT AT THE TOP WITHOUT FULLY FLEXING MY TOES PASS THEIR NATURAL POINT, I HAD NO MORE ISSUES. SN... MAKE SURE YOUR CLUTCH IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED TOO, THE TWO DEVICES WORK IN TANDEM. KEEP US POSTED ON IF THAT HELPS. OK BROTHER, GOTTA GO FOR A RIDE NOW, BOUGHT ME A NEW 2018 MT07, HIGH VIZ!!
I have this same bike. I have my phone mounted in place of the screw on the left of the fork stem with a simple ball mount base and a M6x50mm Screw. Super easy install and can go perfectly in the middle of my handlebars with a short composite double socket arm.
I have owned my 2019 Yamaha R3 for a year in a half now. 14k miles on it from 0 miles brand new.
1. False Neutral sucks, happens constantly.
2. doesn't apply to me.
3. doesn't matter to me.
4. Everyone seems pretty cool to me with my 300 cc bike. Online haters don't even count.
5. Mirrors don't bug me, I can see pretty wide with them, but you do have to spend some time to play with it.
6. What I HATE - Stop lights don't register my light bike.
7. The yamaha stickers. I took them off and the bike looks so much badass.
Other than that, I weight 300 lbs and can do easily 80 on the freeway, and taking the bike on corners is extremely solid and agile and keeps pace with higher cc bikes.
I love mine and it was the best decision ever made.
I have the same bike and it happened a lot on hard acceleration. When you go hard you have to bang the gears harder when you shift quick you can get a little lazy with the sift and not quite lock it in before let the clutch out. Hope this helps. I haven’t had problems since I started this.
Yep always when fast shifting my 2017
I’m a 600 guy but my boy rides a 300 and he keeps up well!
I ride a 125cc single cylinder, there's no shame in riding as long as you are enjoying, as for now this bike is what I would like to ride, hopefully will get my hands on this in the future 4-5 years from now
The false neutral thing pisses me off so much, even when I’m on a full tank of gas I’ll get a false neutral. It’s not often, but it seems to happen whenever I really CANT afford it to happen. I’m in NYC and this is my everyday bike, so whenever I false N people think I’m a shit head for revving right next to their window but I’m not doing it intentionally 😭 Also, when you shift the bike the gear indicator won’t even show you’re in a gear even if you shift up as hard as you could, not sure if it has to do with the clutch but you kinda need to dump the clutch a bit for the bike to lock in the gear. I still love it to pieces tho, great learners bike.
The best thing I ever did was sell the 600 super sport and get a 300. It’s a blast without having to do triple digits and so easy to throw around.
Thinking of doing the same
Sell the 300 and get a r1
I am the opposite. I have a 300 but I want a supersport(don't think I need a liter bike) but I also plan to keep my fun 300.
i love my r3, really fun toy and it's pretty so good buy in my book. i agree with some of the things you mentioned, especially the ram mount issue. only other thing i'd add to the list is that the helmet lock is in a really annoying spot. you have to take the seat off, hook your helmet on, scratch your seat fairing a bit before giving up and just taking your helmet with you. some of the older bikes i had put the helmet lock somewhere accessible on the side of the bike and i really wish theyd have done that
I used to ride a lighter smaller bike and we have this twisty mountain area where everyone goes to ride and practice and prove them selves. Going up hill my smaller bike smaller displacement got beat the hell up by everyone, but going back down being lighter and more nimble I destroyed them easily. Going down would take a regular car about 30mins, a decent bike rider 15- 20 mins, I was able to get down about 12 mins, my bike being so much smaller and manuverable just snakes my way down. Like water down a ducks back it was amazing
Always wanted to get this bike and when I saw the new generation , I knew I needed to get it. The only other bike in the low displacement segment that looks better is the asia specific Honda cbr250rr. Other than that the r3 is a stunner.
Keep up the awesome content dude because a 2019 r3 specific channel I exactly what I was looking for.
I agree! Amazing bike.
Finally someone is talking about mirror because its very important
I wish it was a 270 crank like the mt07. It’d sound better. Less like a lawn mower.
1 year later on my '19 R3 with over 6500 kms and have had none of the complaints you have.
- Shift with confidence, don't "slip" into 2nd.
- I have the RAM mount, and it is perfect where I have it. Almost center and does not even budge slightly. (I should do a video)
- the ONLY negative comments you'll find on the R3 (or lower cc bikes) are in comment sections of RUclips, and I'll bet they don't even own a bike! lolll I get showered with compliments at meets from guys/girls and those with bigger bikes. The R3 is sexy!
- every bike has the same mirror problem, check your blind spots like you were taught in training.
Alright enough chit chat and more vroom vroom...
If you couldn't tell I had to be very nitpicky to actually come up with 5 reasons. As far as the shifting. All I had to do was tighten a bold on the linkage and it's never happened since 👌
@@MotoChrisOfficial nice tip for the shift - yours must've been a bit loose to begin with if you were regularly having slips.
And yeah I know you were stretching it a bit lolll especially with the jokers about "beginner bikes".
Gonna check out your newer vids!
I love my R3 but I definitely want to get an R6 for highway commuting. The R3 is quick but definitely doesn’t have the get up and go I want. On the street it’s amazing though. Weight to power is great, and riding a slow bike fast is definitely more fun than riding a fast bike slow!
Dayum I too bought myself a black R3. Boy been in love with it already, I call her Silent Assassin 😂😂
saving up for a r3 I was undecided at first till I watched bunch of videos and r3 came out on top I can't wait first bike too
This is coming from a 1000cc rider we all pick on you because we got picked on so don’t feel bad second we all end up going back to our roots from time to time.
My thoughts on your things you hate:
1. False neutrals - I never had a problem with it. I guess it is because I rode a not so well kept XJ6 before I bought R3 and I really had to press on the shift lever to click it into next gear, so It stuck with me. Though, I occasionally miss the gear when going from 1st to 2nd :D Also, I have noticed that shifts are much smoother above 8500 rpm, at least on my R3.
2. Phone mount - I still don't have a mount on mine, but I have ordered one on Aliexpress to see if it will be usable before I cash out for a better one. I have ordered the one that installs where mirrors are mounted on the handlebars. I know R3 has its mirrors on the fairing, but Yamaha have used the same controls on R3 and MT-03 and MT-03 mounts its mirrors on the handlebars. You have those mounts on your R3 just under the rubber cap. I hope it'll work because I plan about 1600km round trip through my country when I get on vacation.
3. Exploit - About that hotwire exploit. I live in a small place which is on the island, so basically everyone knows everyone. Though I plan to get some kind of protection for my bike with tracking included.
4. Jokes - My colleagues at work tend to mock me a bit, but it is all fun and games really. Though, I have explained to them that for Yamaha the lower the number the faster the bike and that, from fastest to slowest it is: R1, R3, R6, R125. It was lol moment about 2 days later when they finally got that I was mocking them back. Some bikers from my town do comment that it is too small, that I should've got bigger bike etc. but I don't really care. And just few days ago I went for a little 300km ride and most bikers that I met were actually liking the bike and showing real interest in it. I rode with a friend and she was on her Ninja 300. The same thing, no mocking at all.
5. Mirrors - Yeah, I hate them too. But for what I need them I can use them, if I need to see more I just turn my head.
As for thing that I hate about it, it is not really bike's fault: It still hasn't launched officially in my country. It was announced, sellers started to take orders and then Yamaha decided that it will come only in 2020. So my dealer brought me one in from Germany or France, not sure really. So, I currently can't buy any OEM accessories, and I would really like to have new turn signals, side protection, higher windscreen and rear seat cowl. But in few months time it will be available for me to buy those things.
surely the 300cc bike will be faster than the 600cc
I have the exact same 2019 R3. I’m a new rider. I’ve never had a problem with “false neutral”. Just need to push the lever a little bit harder. Should be fine. It’s a great hike though. I have no complaints with this purchase.
Sell that shit. I almost died
Just a tip, unless u stopping for less than 10 minutes don’t put ur steering lock on cuz it can be broken easily and after it breaks u can’t turn on ignition and its a costly fix
Ok I use to ride a 550 Yamaha Maxim as my first bike back in 99 until I hit 2 pot holes and wrecked. I have not had my own bike since then and also have had 3 different surgeries on my right wrist so I am not sure how my wrist will handle the bike or any bike. I have sat on many bikes at the dealers and the R3 was the best feeling for my wrist and body. I am looking at buying one here really soon and also have been looking at the Yamaha MT07 but still like the look of the R3 the most. RUclips has a lot of videos out on bikes and gives good and bad on them all so like I said after doing my reseach I will be getting the R3 and you can do a lot of modifications to the bike from what I have seen.
I started out with an ‘04 Yamaha YZF 600R, I’m going to get this R3 and I’m watching reviews. It’s seems like a perfectly good bike, no matter what people say. Obviously I’ll test ride it first lol but it’s more about the riding and freedom instead of speed.. (plus I made a deal with the fiancé that she’ll be okay with my bike as long as it doesn’t go faster than my old one XD)
Everyone keeps talking about fast this, fast that.
Going fast is useless on public roads unless you like doing things illegal.
"Quick" should be the term that is used and that's what really matters on a motorcycle, torque and acceleration. An R3 has the torque and acceleration of an M5. Plenty for public roads.
Who cares how fast it goes over the speed limit.
What Yamaha has done with the R3 is what I wish manufacturers would of done years ago. Back when the 250 Ninja was the only game in town, and I'm talking before the redesign when it looked straight outta 1993 lol. Inverted Forks and styling, at a glance you can't tell it apart from the larger bikes. I am seriously considering one since because they are light weight, plenty of power and can actually be ridden harder out on the curves.
You won't regret it. It's a legand in the corners. There's no other bike that comes close to being this satisfying
Just bought a 2023 R3 , it's pretty cool .
Just letting people know if you want to break the engine in the Yamaha recommended way, stay under 6500 rpm for first 600 miles . Then stay under 7500 rpm for up to 1000 miles ...
I was kinda bummed that I have to wait to commute with it ... have to ride it around my town for 600 miles ..because 6500 rpm in 6th hear is 61 mph and there's no way to go that slow on the freeway near me ...I'm going to break it in right and stick to it ...
Yeah she is a hard bike to hate. Nice vid, keep up the good work.
those haters aren't real riders. and they probably didn't know this but the yamaha r3 is the best selling yamaha in multiple countries including the U.S
I bought an r3 new in 2016. My first bike and it's what I learned on. Month or so in I wish had gotten an r6. Still have it and is what I taught my son with but its a bit lack luster. He feels the same but he's a little heavy on the throttle anyway.
yes, I have a 2018 R3 (same engine as this one) and I agree with the false neutral... it is very infrequent that it does it, but it is susceptible to it, when one does not push the gear lever fully to the limit...
the question of puncturing the two correct cables, to start it without a key... to have the same accessible ones... left me cold.
and the issue of rearview mirrors, as is, are very bad design. for the little width of vision, and also be flat mirrors.
That’s I swap all my bikes into GO shifting. Instead of shifting up everything is shifting down. I’m able to shift thru the gears in a left hand turn. And shifting thru gears in a wheelie is easier also
I have a 600 and this thing. I take this bike out wayyyyy more then the 600 and here's why.. I like to shift, I will go through 3 gears well the 600 would still be in first. Other reason I pick this over my 600 is because it's funner to go fast on a slower bike then it is to go slow on a fast bike. And it's just all around a super fun bike to slam into corners
Mine's a 2017. Can't say I've ever had any false neutrals, but the thing I hate the most is the plastic gas tank (cover): I much prefer to use a magnetic tank bag, but with the plastic tank, that's obviously not happening.
In my 2016 this plastic cracked
Interested on a legit fix on the false neutral issue great video man definatly a hard bike to hate
If you’re above 2nd it’s not a false neutral. You’re likely not releasing the shift lever all the way and letting it reset before selecting the next gear
My 155 Scoot still have 6 mos left for payment yet I'm so excited to save up and get this bike.
Yeee I wonder how many of these big bike riders who dont like smaller bikes can even get there bike two its top speed. Screw those people its all about being on two wheels and just having fun for me, personally id be happy sticking with a 300. Haters are going to hate no matter what your on
most people who own a 1000 like myslef always seem to live in the city and will never be able to get it to its max speed. but youll meet a bunch of people who bullshit their speed.
lol
we start on 125 ccm bikes in europe.. and even if we are slow only max 140km/h we enjoy it
Ride ur ride 😎 don't listen to what others say.. R3 4Life 🤘
I have the same motorcycle. I have never had it false neutral. Shifting from 1st to 2nd I may occasionally not apply enough pressure but that’s on me.
I've had my 2019 R3 since it was brand new out of the crate been the only one that's ever ridden it yes I also have the random shifting throws itself into neutral yes it's very annoying.. there is another place you can mount a RAM mount ball I'm the triple tree you remove one of the clamps cruise by a longer one and mount the ball if you want links or pictures let me know
My wife has a 2020 R3. It’s a fun little bike for sure. What I don’t like about it is well to me it’s slow cause I’m use to my 600rr which is also slow to me compared to my hayabusa 😂. First gear is super short in the r3! It’s almost useless lol. A 2020 ninja 400 the gearing is flawless. Other than that the bike is a good time to ride! You can push it all out without having to worry that you’ll hit 160 in a blink lol. It handles excellent and the brakes are pretty good as well.
Thx for the Input but as a bike owner almost all my life, I have to point to you that those are not problems of a motorcycle they are just annoying things (as you mention) what about you make a video fully focused on performance, handling, response, safety, technology etc..I may be wrong but I think much more bike lovers will be interested. Hey it’s just my opinion, good luck and thank you for the video
I got me a 2020 MT03, next is the R3. I can easily get tickets on these bad bois, they're sexy af, and they're just so easy and comfy to ride. Plus, they're affordable! I'll take 3 super fun 300s over one 1000cc that I can barely fulfill any of its potential, especially in traffic.
Gear shift levers are usually adjustable on all bike models.
I don't blame you, frequent shifts where it pops into neutrals would be annoying, but I also might consider trying out an r3 as a first bike at some point.
R3 is a good looking bike, but ultimately I went for the 2019 Ninja 650 ABS (orange and black) for my first bike and im so glad that I did. Much more power to learn on and not get bored, but it's not scary fast either, and it looks better IMO, but that's just an opinion. Hey, atleast your riding though and that's what counts :)
Btw, did you drop your brand new bike already? Yikes!
I did that my first day too.
For commuting, I think something like the ninja 400 is more than enough. Unless you want to use that same bike to do like... really advanced track, anything above the 400 seems like a waste to me.
Did you know the R3 performs just as well as your Ninja 650 up to the speed limit?
Riding beyond that is illegal. So the extra power is a non-issue for me. I'm fine with a 5 second 0 to 60 (same as an M5). I don't need to accelerate to 60 mph at light speed just to immediately slow down. I'm not a straight line guy anyway. I much prefer the twisties and on the R3 it's so light and maneuverable it's just a blast. I prefer the gas mileage and the low upkeep cost, and low initial price too.
I have 80k on my R3.
@@ZSmith-yy4lv I agree however I would much prefer the R3 for commuting. I have 80,000 commuting miles on mine, it is just a better bike and more sporty.
With regards to having to move your arm to see behind you with the mirror, I've heard it called "chicken-winging" 🐔
I 💖 my R3... I do agree with the Mirrors not for turning but just to check if someone is behind me of if someone is about to get on the next lane... the phone mount i bought from wish that clamps on the grill slot next to the stem... Never had issue with "false neutral" IDK maybe because i drive a manual trans wrangler my foot is trained to be heavy on the clutch...
Just got my new r3 today and can't sleep at night cuz I literally dream about it
How you liking it so far ? Thinking about the R3 or the Ninja 400
@@miguel90744 r3 has a higher top speed i recommend watching chaseontwowheels first rides to see which applies more to your preferences
In the uk where we have normal r3s, theives snap steering locks using two peoples force at the same time
False neutrals happen to me regularly from first to second in my 2015 R3 and as much as I want to blame my self I can’t just because I purposely shift hard af to second and it still does it.
An R3 is my dream bike 💙
I’m on a 2015 R3. Purchased in early 2017 brand new.
1. False neutrals happen to me too. Not all the time, but they happen. I have more trouble at stops. If I’m at a stoplight and go into neutral, if I roll back even slightly, I can’t get back into 1st without rolling forward first. Kind of annoying.
2. I mount Ram Mount balls in the mirror holes on each side. Left side is my radar detector, right side is my phone. Solid as a rock.
3. If anyone wants to steal a bike, it’s gonna happen. Have good insurance and you’re good.
3. Hoons gonna hoon. I recently did a trip to North Carolina to ride the Dragon and surrounding roads. I’m from St. Louis. Over 500 miles one way. People thought I was crazy, but I quickly earned their respect. If people are hating, there’s no reason to give them any time of day.
5. Yeah, the mirrors aren’t the greatest, but that’s nitpicking.
All of your opinions are completely valid. I’ve been on mine almost 3 years and I’m still learning. Ride on and keep the rubber side down! ✌🏼
I have a 2015 R3, I get false neutrals all the time. Happens between going to 2nd from 1st. Even shifting harder is still sticks in neutral.
I have a 07 Honda cbr125r, 2019 Yamaha r3 and a 06 Yamaha r6 and the r3 is my favourite! But clutch is pretty good but I have hit false neutral a couple times
I have been driving my R3 by 3 years now and I figured that false neutrals it's my fault.
Jony Blizz what did you mean? How did you fix it? I’m thinking of getting this bike and don’t ride bikes
@@JP48103 just hit the shifter harder
what kind of shoes do you wear when you get those false neutrals? i find myself getting them when im wearing regular shoes not riding ones that are beefed up for kicking it in gear, and i agree the lower cc bikes are unbelievably good fun and it wont get you in trouble! well as fast lol and my favorite thieves were in this one youtube video where they approached the bike in a mini van and two jacked dudes come out the side door pick up the bike chuck it inside onto a mattress and drive off, less than a min and she's gone
We have the R25 (250cc variant) in my country. I'm getting the bike this month, all I can say is that this is a sexy a** bike😎
I've had my 2015 Yamaha R3 for almost a year now. Yeah I hear you on all these "complaints", its a great bike and I KNOW I would be dead by now if I started on anything more powerful. That "false neutral" thing I get every other day when riding, its only ever when clicking up from 1st to 2nd and I DO blame the bike (I have test ridden a Yamaha R6, Yamaha MT07, Yamaha Tracer 700 and a Kawasaki Versys-X 300) they ALL had WAY better clicky responsive gearshift levers. I find the Yamaha R3 has too much "play" on its gearshift lever compared to other bikes.
It’s actually a beautiful bike
I has 2015 r3 and I hit "false neutral" daily too!
Don't hate, strongly dislike!!
That one guy is right we just have to slam it into 2nd and 3rd harder!!!
2- can be installed on the mirror mount of the left handle, the one with a plastic cap
I'm 50+ and owned larger, heavier bikes. Just want to have fun again on a bike. I'm not out to impress anyone and rode more rare bikes just to not be a "Harley guy". I don't care if anyone likes what I ride. I care if I like it and if it meets my needs. The R3 or Ninja 400 would be all I need and either would be a load of fun.
Hey bro, there’s a better placement for that ram mount and it’s the inserts dead middle, it’s a little harder for the previous years actually, I figured mine out luckily
1. False neutrals: I've heard complaints on this bike and the MT-03 (basically the same bike). Though I've seen many attribute it to wearing shoes that are too soft on top. Maybe try a stiffer riding shoe. Revzilla has a lot of reasonable priced shoes/boots with a stiffer toe.
2. Re: the size of the bike. Don't sweat it. Everyone whose ever been to a track day has seen relative noobs on a 600 SS bike get their asses kicked by a 390 Duke.
Learning how to ride is more important than what you ride.
I’m looking at the R3. On RevZilla, if you search mounts, it advertises the Quadlock stem mount as compatible with the R3. Is it possible for that middle bolt to be replaced with a bolt with a hole so it accommodates the stem mount?
gotta say i've never had "false neutral" happen with my 2017 r3
Well there is no shame in riding 300s they are very cool....I drive a 150cc Yamaha R15 and it's pretty much fun. Afterall it's Yamaha ♥️♥️🔥🔥
I have a 125 right now, and I hope I will have a R3 in the future😁
congrats, should be an great bike :-)
Sportsbike are cool and all until you experience a longterm back pain that's why from ninja 400 to YZF r3 2015 And then I bought my KTM Duke 390 as my everyday transportation and I gotta say no more back sore
I’ve had my r3(2017) for 2 1/2 year mine has not done false neutral. Only done neutral by my error by not clicking up hard enough
Anything that's faster than walking is cool.
My R125 does the same, and sometimes I pull the clutch in when shifting at 11k rpm and I’ll go from 4th - 5th and it doesn’t change gear so it looks like I’ve mis-shifted and feels like a block is in the way from clicking up.
Maybe you should look at adjusting your gear shifter height. Also if you remove you the little black covers near your clutch lever or master cylinder you can screw a ram ball head straight into the bike.
