Our Yamaha R3 Superbike set a NEW track RECORD! [Superbike Build Series Ep.19]

It was all clear skies and good weather this past weekend at our FMRRA racing event at Roebling Road Raceway. Both our R3 Supersport & R3 Superbike performed phenomenally and they definitely proved to be very capable race machines. In the end, all our hard work paid off and we have a few nice podium trophies to show for it.

When I bought my brake light/integrated turn signal for my Ninja 300, I just assumed TST was yet another aftermarket company with cheaply made products. I was totally wrong as made evident by their R3 builds. Bart and the guys are legitimate! Definitely worth supporting such an amazing company.

[@TSTindustries]

Music to my ears. Thank you very much for the kind words.

[@marknasia5293]

I am so happy TST is not just producing excellent aftermarket products but hitting the performance side of the house, of my list of bike shops online TST is at the top,

[@austinthornton4150]

I bought the tst fender eliminator and flushmount turn signals for my r3. Great quality and it changed to way the bike looks in such a nice way.

[@TD402dd]

I'm gobsmacked the R3 is a racing bike. All I hear from the 160 mph on straights is it's a girl's bike. Isn't it sad in the United States the majority of riders don't understand that a bike is a bike. I sold my Triumph Sport Bike after 12 years, and I have enjoyed a smaller more comfortable R3. I appreciate each bike for what it does.

[@twistn-grips]

D. Paul Gladstone it's really STUPID actually. The problem is that these little children that talk shit about it are the ones that buy 600cc or bigger bikes for their first bike and think they the shit when they, in fact, can't ride for shit. Put them ALL in sketchy situation that takes skill and knowledge to get out of, and they'd crash their bikes and hurt themselves and/or others!!! Kids my dude. They will ALL talk shit. I have more fun on my 300 than I EVER had on my 600. Fact!!! I just ignore the ignorance. And laugh when I see their bike wrecked.

[@beefpatty144]

RenesMDJ you seem to forget but looks and sounds is a major factor. Make the r3 have a i4 that revs up to 20k like the old 250rr and you got attraction for old and new riders. I also hear all the time they pick an r6 because if it's looks(not power ,weight or handling).

[@travvypoo]

So an H2 and a Grom are "just bikes"? All bikes are not "all bikes".

[@austinthornton4150]

E.A. Hawley pretty sure he's saying that no matter the size of the bike it is in fact a bike. But the h2 is another level.

[@zer08927]

Love my R3! I will never sell her. She will be handed down to my wife, who will start riding soon!

[@ibanezlarue2747]

Great sportsmanship

[@TSTindustries]

Thanks.

Good old roebling road my favorite race track. I haven't been on a bike in over 20 years but I sure miss it. I'm thinking about getting a r3 and trying to do some track days. I still have my TL but it hasn't been started in 20 years also. Is the r3 as fun to ride as it looks?

Was good watching you out there! Kayla was moving! Congrats on the podiums we took a few home as well and I got my first ever in just my second race.

Do reply Please Why did u use 150 on rear on supersport r3 rather 160 or 170 ? Please let me knw d reason i m planning to change frm stock to 160 or 170 with same rim and same stock everythng. ur suggestion please..

[@TSTindustries]

I will have to make a tech tip video about this topic. I have typed a response to this question so many times that it is getting boring. Once I have this video posted all you guys can just watch it and realize that putting a large rear tire on the rear of your bike does nothing good for performance.

[@hali_moto]

I just picked up some supercorsas in 120/150 (and some warmers) for my R3 race bike should be a big improvement over the rosso 2's I was running. I'm curious which Bridgestones you were using though? Awesome video as usual! Cheers 🍻

[@TSTindustries]

We tried the R11 Battlax tires at this last event.

[@Sunny-rf3bg]

Congrats🤙🤙👊👍

[@UnicycleWheelie]

Whats the exhaust on bike 31? sounds good... @ 6:40

[@easyr6]

22.8 was an improvement over the record? I know a kid that done 21.6 on a stock motor r3. But still great riding

[@TSTindustries]

This video was from 2.5 years ago so there is a very good chance it has changed but yes, at the time this was the track record for that respective motor displacement. I'd love to see documentation or even a video of that stock R3 breaking the record!

We will most likely be there a few more times after the season ends

[@liljamesjames1884]

Do you sale fork springs on your sight I'm going to test some this year for next year's race season try to make real run at it

[@TSTindustries]

We are an Ohlins dealer. Anything you need from their catalog we can get you. You can do just springs and oil, or maybe springs and a valve kit. That will be a very cost effective way to really give you some performance without killing the wallet.

[@liljamesjames1884]

Thanks so much it'll be awsome to get back and see you guys.

[@ark1289]

At 7:03 the bike that takes off, which is that? Really good too end that

[@blackjewjew9818]

Honda nsf 250r

[@akashhari4286]

In Yamaha which series bike is an entry level superbike

[@TSTindustries]

No, the R3 is a 321cc smaller displacement bike. We only categorize it as a superbike due to the race class it participates in.

[@anslembrathwaite8521]

Hey Bart whats the largest rear tyre you can use on the R3?

[@TSTindustries]

Anslem Brathwaite depends on what you need it to do. If you are wanting optimum grip, compliance, feedback then the size of your tire will be determined by your body mass and riding style. If you just want to see a bigger tire in the back because you see higher displacement bikes using them then you are doing it wrong.

[@anslembrathwaite8521]

TSTindustries okay thanks well im 5/11 and 210lbs I would want the best feed back from the tyre and the look of it as well. But the bike is not used for racing.

[@TSTindustries]

I would recommend going with 150/120. If you can get to a track day you can also experiment with a 160 on the rear but then you are just dragging a larger/heavier tire around with a weak motor with no other benefit but just looking bigger.

[@anslembrathwaite8521]

TSTindustries thank you for the info also I was wondering which is the best brand tire for the streets in the 120F/150R I. Your opinion.?

[@TSTindustries]

Anslem Brathwaite I don't ride on the street so unfortunately I won't be able to answer that intelligently.

[@eecc17]

what size tires do you guys run?

[@TSTindustries]

120/150

[@freddykhawlhring6764]

Can you guys pleaseeee tell me the top speed of both the R3 supersport and superbike

[@christo_reese]

Is that RS10 tires you put on? Nice run btw, looking forward to more updates in the next video

[@TSTindustries]

The tires we tested at this event were Battlax R11

[@christo_reese]

that's even better

[@Motogamna]

Awesome Bart👍 What happened to the R1?

[@TSTindustries]

smoked the bottom end of the motor. We have some oil delivery issue now.

[@Motogamna]

TSTindustries that's unfortunate..what plans do you have on fixing that problem..are you going to show us the work that will be done on the R1 if it hasn't been done already?

[@TSTindustries]

We first have to take the motor down again and take it apart. We will do a very thorough inspection for anything that may be out of spec, and also identify the problem that caused our last down time. We may shoot a video about it but I don't know if time will allow for that.

[@Motogamna]

TSTindustries ok

[@chrisanderson9157]

Curious to know if the Kawasaki 400 is allowed in that division.

[@TSTindustries]

Nope. This was moto3 FMRRA. We will be racing CCS at Roebling in August. The 400 will be allowed in the GT500, Supersport 500, and Superbike 500 classes at that event. I am sure we will be working hard to beat those formidable machines at that event.

[@EG-cc3ux]

Sorry I must have missed it. What bike is the girl riding? Is it just a lowered R3?

[@philipdodd3352]

Nsf250r

[@minigpracing3068]

Or a bike designed to be raced, not a street bike made to be a race bike. That and she probably had 30 pounds of weight difference on him.

She is just eleven in elementary school straight A student

[@TheTon1579]

How to remove the flywheel on a yamaha R3? Thankyou.

[@TSTindustries]

I think that if you need to know that you better look into the factory service manual. Yamaha sells a very comprehensive one that will answer this and any other questions about removal, re-installation, inspection, etc. of all parts on the bike. It's the same book we use for our efforts.

[@mohitchoprraa1687]

At 6:53 did u c alex acceleration?rocket

[@TSTindustries]

He is a rocket. Probably something to do with 20+ years of racing experience on all different size bikes.

[@08ChrisMC]

What is the number 45 bike at 4:32?

[@TSTindustries]

That was some sort of custom built Ducati in the Euromax class that we were sharing practice sessions with. Looks pretty trick no?

[@08ChrisMC]

TSTindustries Ah. That explains it. I thought it looked a little beefy to be running with you guys, lol. It does look trick though.

[@TSTindustries]

We ran the Moto3, Super Street 300, and the bigger twins practice together. After that we were split up for qualifying and races.

[@phongnguyen007]

wonder how this R3 compare to KTM RC 390, with the same amount of effort put in.

[@Wolfsburg639]

What exactly happened with the R1?

[@TSTindustries]

Bottom end noise from around crank, wont' turn on, smoke pours out of exhaust. We have not had time to strip it down yet to know the source of the problem.

[@Wolfsburg639]

TSTindustries will there be video when you do?

[@twistn-grips]

Dude!!! I wish I could get you to help me with my r3!!! I'm having so much freaking trouble with it, it's driving me CRAZY!!! All I did was install the m4, cat delete, and k&n air filter and now it just doesn't want to idle. Put the stock air filter back in and change! Waiting on my ecu to arrive, but it'll be a while and I'm thinking it's more than that. Idk? But it's pissing me off. Love my lil r3, but about to put it on the market!!! Btw, awesome job to you 2 fellas!!! Congrats on that 1st and 2nd place. That's why I wish I could get to you and let you work on my bike. It's OBVIOUS that you and your team KNOW what the hell you are doing. Keep up the AWESOME work.

[@garagebaf8031]

then put the stock exhaust and air filter back until you get the ecu. It's running way too lean with the mods

[@twistn-grips]

Raf Van Nuffel if you read this correctly, I said I put the stock air filter back on. And I'm not stupid!!! If I'd have the stock exhaust, i'd do that as well. Thanks for the suggestions, but not speaking to you about the situation. ✌

[@thorvelasco1467]

Raf did not know you didn't have the stock exhaust. For what it's worth, when you post about a bike problem on a bike upload page, people (fellow riders) will try to be genuinely helpful to get you running right. Does your R3 have the AIS block off plate? Is the airbox plugged on the bottom? Are the emissions parts removed from bike? If emissions equipment removed, are the throttle bodies capped?

[@amirazhar4424]

Check if your valve chipped. Some of my friends having almost same like your problem and cause by their valve chipped. Hope it help.

[@randomukulelestuff502]

Did you figure it out? Was it your fuel pump not providing enough pressure?

[@Fast_Flick]

Put USD forks n dual front disc setup..

[@TSTindustries]

USD forks are in the plans. Dual brake rotors....nope. The bike doesn't need that much stopping power and the extra weight can't be justified.

[@minigpracing3068]

Nice work on both machines. I have something from your shop on my z125 race bike, it's a stock class on Kart tracks. The z125 isn't finished yet, but getting close now. Just need to finish bars and seat mods, a few other things are on my channel. Would love to see a z125 build from you, something that fits in an SFLminigp class, or better yet the F1 class for SFL, NJminigp, and NYminigp. For those wondering, SFL has a class that allows some mods to the Z/Grom that doesn't fit the other classes. Check the websites for each location for class specifics, www.njminigp.com/ www.nyminigp.com/ www.sflminigp.com/ And again, nice work on the R3's, too bad the "real bike" broke down. Too many people don't appreciate that racing is racing, don't need to always be pushing as fast as possible. Small bikes on twisty tracks can be plenty of fun!

You racing against sub 50kg moto3 riders, job well done.

[@TSTindustries]

Yea, but we were the ones riding up a class. The moto3 classes are really small here so the other bikes that fit the cc criteria fill them up. If you take a look at the starting grid there were only two real moto3 bikes on it. I think we handled it real well, but I do have to give credit to the two moto3 riders. Those two girls can ride big time.

[@iane4735]

Why you didn't show the speedometer while running. Thats a fake!

[@TSTindustries]

What's a fake? I don't understand. The speedo was broken on that gauge set from previous crashes. And besides, in racing nobody cares about gauge indicated speed anyway since our gearing throws off the precision of the reading.
