Wear full gear homie. Get padded/leather jacket and riding pants. Skin graphs are no fun. Wear riding boots, those shoes will rip off you in a heart beat. 2 hands on bars in traffic always have a finger over front break and one on clutch. All controls should be covered. Stay safe out there and welcome to the family.
@@mmfox4514 Bikes are meant to run at high rpm's, even during the "break-in" period. So as long as you're not doing it every ride, you'll be fine. No need to stress.
You should always do an oil change right away after buying a brand new bike with little to no miles. It's the first thing I do and plenty of seasoned riders I know do. Motul 300v is the best thing for any superbike or supersport. Just my opinion tho
hell yeah brother, got my first bike about 2 months ago, a red 2016 r3, and its been nothing but happiness, i believe ur enjoying that aswell. Ride safe 🤝
I used to believe in babying it during break in too but after watching this: ruclips.net/video/xpoglovyy_8/видео.htmlsi=lxB06CsQ_fSVHP7L im not sure anymore
How many mpg you be getting on it ? I got a 2020 R3 lowkey wish I woulda got a 600 tbh 😭 I taught myself how to ride it & everything it’s a great first bike but highway feels like I can definitely use a little more power.
I'm in the middle of breaking in my new bike as well (Aprilia Tuono 660) and have not yet ridden on the highway either, so I had to click and watch your video. Six minutes in and I'm like "that highway and the surrounding area sure looks familiar" so I paused the video to read one of the signs. Yep, we're in the same general vicinity. Who knows? Maybe we'll pass on the road some day. Good luck with your beautiful bike!
DAMN im from NoVA too and wanna get this bike asap..looks super fun. also, were u forreal about bein able to ride on the expressways? if so that is fiiiiire
Lovin the content so far man. Not sure how important this may be in the future, but might be beneficial to cut out specific start/stop places in your drives to keep some air of anonymity. Never know who might be trying to show up or do anything weird. Stay safe bro
Get the earplugs bro, I got mine and it blocks out the loud sounds like wind really good while still keeping it nice enough to hear sounds. Protects your hearing, especially when you get an exhaust.
Man i went thru the torture for 4 months after my full system Akra. i tried a lot of things but nothing helped so finally I got alpinestar MotoGP earplugs and a simple m3m earplugs and my life was changed. now I can ride for hours and hours without getting tired and having those loud sound of exhaust and wind hitting my head. great recommendation amigo. Go ahead and buy one. and if possible change gears only after 7000rpm for Fun. The bike starts behaving aggressively only after 7000 rpm. ❤
I thought I was subbed already oops. Am now. Can’t wait to get the R3 planning on saving up and buying instead of financing. I want to feel like I own it lol. Love these vids man. I’ve been wanting a bike for 10 years now.
So, I got a 2024 R3 in the Yamaha blue (it looks sick in white as well btw) And I’m curious, did you buy the sticker that says R3 and add it yourself? I mean the one that is in the tank facing you when you ride it? I don’t have that 🥲 it looks good Hope you are enjoying yours as much as I am it’s my first bike and I’ve already put 3K miles on it this summer
I rode an R3 yesterday, it had a full Mivv exhaust and sounded very pleasing... maybe too much. Comfortable riding position, agility of a 125cc, overall balance: I liked it.
I’m the beginner motorcycle rider in USA NJ, I haven’t take my road test yet I’m with my permit. Is Yamaha R3 good for motorcycle beginner permit riders? R3 looks sporty and it has 300cc engine
When I seen pictures of that bike, I really didn't like it. I rode to my local Yamaha dealer to get oil for my bike and they had one on the showroom floor. It is much nicer in person. Anyways, one thing you could do when you're riding in areas with side streets where cars can pull out in front of you is to cover your front brake with a couple fingers for a quicker reaction time just in case you need to emergency brake. You are doing good and enjoy the ride and be safe.
@@CloudedThoughtz you gotta see silicon valley with all the tesla drivers that are on their phones 90% of the time and dont even know how to properly drive a car, just got money from the big jobs around here and got a tesla for their first car with all that instant torque i fear for my focken life out here. even when i'm not riding and just driving my old ass car i've still had quite a few close calls, car would have been totaled if i reacted late, mostly people pulling out of parking lots at light speed without checking the road, sometimes just crazy drivers swerving around like they're DUI, maybe they are. or mfs doing lane changes without even checking and signaling at all, it's beyond common sense. people driving hella slow in front of you , then speeding up and tailgating if you pass them normally. it's really something.
@@CloudedThoughtz I'm currently at 708km (439 miles) with an average of 4.1L/100km. (62 miles) I guess it just feels like a lot because I'm riding it so much and I'm also coming from a 150CC. What's your average?
Nice! I remember feeling a little hesitant in really sending it during the break in period. I tried to adhere to recommended break in protocols as much as possible during that time (only 600mi). Being a brand new machine, those rings are seating still, etc. Not sure how big of a difference it really makes tbh. Recommend a Quad Lock case and mount for your handlbar or brake reservoir. And definitely earplugs. I'm using the earpeace brand and they work awesome!
I'm also getting ready to go in the highway for the first time this weekend early in the morning, I live in Los Angeles so traffic is not really good here. Luckily I have experience riding a dirtbike' already.
Helmets with a lot of edges are loud, my first helmet looks cool with all the edgy styles but I don't enjoy riding faster than 40mph on it. Eventually I bought a helmet with less edges and it's significantly quieter. Ear plugs are a cheap and easy solution to protect your hearing too.
you have to make sure it's just at operating temperature throughout the whole bike, after about 10 miles you can give it some more beans but definitely don't go full throttle until your break in is done
its crazy I find you on YT and watch all the videos thinking I know the area... then I see the Dulles Sign xD I live in Annapolis but frequent that side of DC. I am actually looking to get the exact R3 you have as a noobie also, and would love to maybe ride together one day! Cheers on the highway experience
@@CloudedThoughtz I recognized the roads. That area is a scary place to ride. People can’t drive there at all. I used to work on the Dulles toll road commuting from Annapolis Maryland and I’d see people reading a newspaper while driving. And if it snowed forget getting anywhere. I moved south and don’t miss the traffic at all.
Dude i want an R3 for my beginner bike but my country has 2 types of license class for motorbike, one is for 250cc and below then other one is 250cc and above, right now i only have completed the first course and the course for bigger bike is hella expensive for a student. So rn im considering R25 or R15 here.
U shouldn't worry too much about breaking in, just dont abuse it. It's actually good to push it unless you want a really lazy bike. If you drive alot in high gear and low rpms the bike can get pretty lazy.
First time on the highway on a naked bike (Ducati Scrambler Nightshift) The wind was so damn loud, definitely using ear protection next time. A friend of mine recommended Eargasm Earplugs
6k is not screaming on a bike. Doesn't that thing redline at like 14k? 6k is like driving a car with a 6k redline at 2500 rpm or so. I know it's the break-in period but you've got to think about the RPM's as a range instead of focusing on the number. I would still keep it low until your first service just to be safe, but you shouldn't be stressed out if you hit 7k once in a blue moon.
see the thing is I know the area I live it very well and I would do some of these rolling stops in a car but only at specific spots. defiantly not at all stops signs...
I have yet to leave my neighborhood on my R3 😂 I'm getting there. Thanks for the video ❤
You got this! Just be safe

Don't stress about the "break-in" period. As long as you're not bouncing it off the limiter or trying to hit a new 0-60 time, it'll be fine.
sounds good!
yo i got a new bike recently and i kinda accidentally went to redline in 1st gear with 150 miles on the bike, is this bad? or is one time fine?

Not bad considering never been over 50 mph before lol...
I am brand new on my bike too. First time hitting 20 was crazy lol. You look comfortable on it. What kind of helmet do you have bro? Great content!!!
Naw keep it low until the break in period is over. I own a 23 R3. Ride safe brother 💪🏾
Noted 🫡
I'm in my break in period for mine, I've wanted to take it to work, but the recommended rpm is soooo low... got it last Wednesday.
@@XiiNhune my advice would be not to go over 8k rpm just to be on the safe side. Might have to ride the streets for now
the whole break in period is BS !!!! ride it easy for the first 500 miles then go like hell !!!

Would totally suggest a Quadlock and appropriate case for your phone. Saves your phone flying out of your pocket like a Tom Cruise off a cliff.
yea... thats prob a good idea haha
@@CloudedThoughtz sometimes quad locks still dont secure your phone so look into the reviews
I think they cpme stock with 7wt fork oil, what if you up to 20wt for more stability and road feedback?😁🤔

Helmets with a lot of edges are loud, my first helmet looks cool with all the edgy styles but I don't enjoy riding faster than 40mph on it. Eventually I bought a helmet with less edges and it's significantly quieter. Ear plugs are a cheap and easy solution to protect your hearing too.
ahhh that makes sense!
I just got my first bike a few days ago and it's also a R3! just a older model haha
Welcome to the club!
I use plugphones, kills the wind and I keep the music on super low, can still hear everything and my turn by turn/ tunage.
Plugphones are sweet.
where do you put your helmet when you go to the gym?
On the smith machine cuz nobody uses it.
I have a R3 and a 1LE too. You might as well get yourself a Dualtron Thunder electric scooter too!
@@Vosovogalsyncope hahaha well you know what’s up!
Been watching some R3 content lately previously it was Ninja 400. I must say I’m leaning towards an R3. 😅 Great content 💯!
400's faster 😉
@@HeldIntegral right which made me think I’ll keep it longer. Won’t feel the need to upgrade so soon, Imo.

What brand of camera n mic u have?
Insta 360 x3 and the song ECM lavelier mic
Get earplugs or get permanent ear damage over time, even if slowly.
Lets go!
The longer the breakin period the better it'll perform in the Long run. Keep an eye on your oil and fuel consumption. Check your valve clearances
Great point!
