[@CHRISMBCC]

Thanks for putting in the time to do this for all the R3 riders!

[@NortonMotorsports]

Thanks! It's what we specialize in.

[@iCareMuch2]

Thanks Jesse! I appreciate you making this content on the new R3. I've been following your updates closely

[@NortonMotorsports]

Thanks! Glad to hear.

[@ELMASQUELAMONTA]

Wow I can’t imagine how long it took to do all this great job

[@cyb0rg83]

cant wait for part 2! im rocking a 2016 r3, might be looking for parts off your website, and guidance from this video series pretty soon. thanks for doing the dirty work and looking into compatibility for us

[@NortonMotorsports]

Thanks! Be sure to check out what we have available for the R3 here: www.norton-motorsports.com/product-category/yamaha/yamaha-r3-2015/

[@cyb0rg83]

@@NortonMotorsports I have bought a lot of parts from you guys already. Actually plan on giving you a ring in a couple days for a quote on an ECU flash

[@matthewjayjack8143]

Thanks for going through this. I'd been wondering about the tank swap in particular, the new one both looks cooler and better to use.

[@NortonMotorsports]

Thanks! That's why we made the video!

[@benjytexas]

Keep up the good work , and thanks for the fork measurements!

[@NortonMotorsports]

Thanks! No problem.

[@dixie3087]

Sweet good to know i dont need to go out buy a new one. Just gotta wait for the squids to send them to auction...

[@NortonMotorsports]

Keep in mind the forks require new bearings and the triple clamps as well in order to retrofit.

[@Matttodd21]

Awesome video! You answered all the important questions about the new bike

[@NortonMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@Nuriil]

im waiting for the suspension update. when is gonna be done? can you review that cartridge?

[@NortonMotorsports]

You can view all of the suspension available for the 2019+ models on our website. www.norton-motorsports.com/product-category/yamaha/r3-2019/?swoof=1&part_category=suspension-chassis&paged=1&really_curr_tax=316-product_cat

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

I've got a 2016 R3, I'd only consider the '19 for the LED headlights and inverted forks, I find the "old" ones prettier (especially the front end)

[@NortonMotorsports]

You can find all products for the 2016 on our website! www.norton-motorsports.com/product-category/yamaha/yamaha-r3-2015/?swoof=1&paged=1&really_curr_tax=243-product_cat

[@Al-df7np]

Nice work mate, this is good info clearly presented.

[@NortonMotorsports]

Thanks! Appreciate that!

[@sembiant9038]

Can we see the swapped R3

[@NortonMotorsports]

At this time we are moving onto more current bikes such as the Yamaha R7 and Aprilia RS660.

[@Straightep3]

Awesome, do you think at this point that it would be easy to swap the headlight assembly over to the 1st gen without much issue? Guessing I could change the bracket and it would work?

[@NortonMotorsports]

You kinda have to change all the front fairings or none of them since the tank and side panels are different. Tank, upper, sides, and lower

[@gokartsminibikesandmore9925]

Curious if i swapped engine harness if i could run a new cluster id assume everything else in the harness is the same

[@NortonMotorsports]

Yes, you should be able to do so.

[@carljoshson1739]

I mean previous model fork tubes was 41mm right? and this one is 37mm measured? so that means 4mm thinner.

[@NortonMotorsports]

They're a larger diameter at the top where they sit in the triple clamps. You will need larger clip-ons (47mm) for the 2019+ vs 41mm clip-ons for the previous generation models.

[@twistn-grips]

Hey Jessie, I have a question, when removing the fuel tank, does it need to be completely empty or does it work like some other bikes and won't drain once I pull all the hoses and connections off?

[@NortonMotorsports]

Like most modern motorcycles that use pressurized fuel injection, you can remove the tank as is with fuel inside just fine.

[@anuragray7121]

Can u plz provide updates if u were successfull..in this project?

[@cospinkristijan2267]

He said we can fit new r3s fork gas tank and fairings However we need to change the front stay

[@NortonMotorsports]

At this time we are moving on to other projects like the R7 and RS660. You can see all of our products for the 2019+ R3 on our website here: www.norton-motorsports.com/product-category/yamaha/r3-2019/?swoof=1&paged=1&really_curr_tax=316-product_cat

[@adrianroma6138]

Can the Yamaha R3 be fitted with the inverted suspension from the 2019 model to the 2016 model?

[@NortonMotorsports]

Technically it is possible, however new steering head bearings are required, and the cost of the forks alone make this not very cost effective. It's better to get Fork Cartridges for your OEM forks, which stiffen up the suspension, and allow for fine tuning. You can find them here on our website: www.norton-motorsports.com/product-category/yamaha/yamaha-r3-2015/?swoof=1&part_category=suspension-chassis&paged=1&really_curr_tax=243-product_cat

[@xcabsx]

hey jesse nice job! can i upgrade my 2017 to 2019 but only the fairings and tank? i dont want the usd forks

[@NortonMotorsports]

Thanks! Yes, you can upgrade those items alone, although you may need the new fairing stay. The forks require a complete front end swap.

[@HeartBrokenBiker]

Did you finish the swap ?

[@NortonMotorsports]

Everything we did was in this video.

[@westphillyres]

Question: Can the new forks fit in the old upper and lower triple clamps?

[@NortonMotorsports]

No, they are a larger diameter. The entire front end must be swapped, and new steering head bearings are required as well. This makes it not very cost effective, and we recommend going with Fork Cartridges instead. You can find them here: www.norton-motorsports.com/product-category/yamaha/yamaha-r3-2015/?swoof=1&part_category=suspension-chassis&paged=1&really_curr_tax=243-product_cat

[@mdahashanuddin5942]

Hi. is it possible to replace the new front fairing and instrument cluster of the 2019 Yamaha R3 to the old ones ? I seriously like the old front design (except the led twin headlamp, though. and, the new tank cowl also looks better) and semi digital instrument cluster...

[@NortonMotorsports]

It would be possible, but would require pinning out and re-wiring to retro fit the cluster, and the 2019 fairing stay and headlights and fairings. It would be both easier and cheaper to sell your 1st gen R3 and buy a 2nd gen R3.

[@mdahashanuddin5942]

@@NortonMotorsports Dear, thanks for your reply. But I guess, I have to do the opposite. I already have gen 2 R3. I want to revert back to old one, I mean I want to use 1st gen R3 fairing and instrument cluster.

[@NortonMotorsports]

Same thing, you would need the 1st gen tank, fairing stay, and cluster and would have to re-pin out the wiring harness.

[@zhangthomas1199]

how to remove tank cover front part? I m really confused. Thanks

[@NortonMotorsports]

We suggest referencing the Service Manual or having a professional work on your bike. Thanks!

[@ProdbySincara]

Wait so can the new front headlights and housing fit a 2017 model?

[@NortonMotorsports]

You would have to retro-fit the front fairing stay, all fairings connected to the upper and headlights, and wiring harness, which means you would also have to switch many other electronics. It would be cheaper to buy a used 2019+

[@benjytexas]

Good job on explaining the differences!

[@NortonMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@carljoshson1739]

are the 2019 model forks thinner than 2017 model?

[@NortonMotorsports]

They're a larger diameter at the top where they sit in the triple clamps. You will need larger clip-ons (47mm) for the 2019+ vs 41mm clip-ons for the previous generation models.

Love to know what traction dynamics do the the valves I assume it will be the Ak 20 drop in cartridge kit so a vdo be great on all the changes they made for it just the kit is way expensive lol. Also like to know who is making a brake caliper bracket for the 2019 usd forks on the R3 for the Beambio m4 100 or the p4 100 not easy getting good information on it

[@NANONOS]

Hola !!! El motor interno de la Yamaha r3 2016 cambio con respecto al de la Yamaha r3 2018 en adelante ? Desde la 2018 viene con canister , otros pistones , otras bielas, otras bujías , otra ecu ( grande ) , otra tapa ? Puede ser ? Es esto correcto ?

[@NortonMotorsports]

The engine of the R3 is the same from 2015 to 2023+, there is no change in the engine.

[@AutoPulse]

Can the slipper clutch be fitted to older model?

[@NortonMotorsports]

The R3 currently doesn't come with a slipper clutch in any model. The engine is unchanged in the 2019+ models, and all aftermarket slipper clutch fit all years of the R3 / MT-03.

[@teacherjanrider7435]

What about the tank of v.1 it fits the tank cover of v.2 bro?

[@NortonMotorsports]

Could you elaborate further about what you mean?

[@jonander111]

Could the 2019 tank cover work with the 2015 internal fuel tank? I'm Thinking about putting 2019 race fairings on a 2015. Wondering where I might run into issues.

[@Thegeekishnerd13]

Any idea for the tft dash for the older model ?

Could you elaborate further on what you mean by tft dash?

@@NortonMotorsports can I retrofit the 2nd gen tft dash on the 1st gen ?

[@mervingamayon6230]

Can Realy fit the USD to the old one Bro??

[@NortonMotorsports]

It is possible, however it requires swapping the entire front end including new steering head bearings, the triple clamps, and the forks. As such it's not cost effective, and we recommend getting Fork Cartridges for your model year.
