R3 racing against 500cc? man.. that's impressive. Both bike & rider!

[@azharfahry_]

gronkgrunk I don't know why I laugh when I hear that, 2nd position against 500. lol

[@TSTindustries]

In a field of many 500cc bikes ours is in second place for the season at the moment. That means it beat all the other ones except for one...for now

[@gronkgrunk]

Any chance of us getting to see some of those races? For some odd reason, i find it very satisfying to see the smaller bikes race against big bikes. lol

No plans for single cylinder machines at the time. We will be building a SS Ninja 400 for next year. Unfortunately this year we had a few mechanicals at the races and a podium finish for the season was not in the cards. We will hit it hard next year and hopefully climb to the top.

[@thefallen8819]

Wow....... The YZF R3 looks awesome!!! and you didn't even change the tank cover 😱 (I guess the paint job makes it look that way)👌🏻

The tank is black steel. The cover on the street build bike is just how it came from the factory. On the race bike we have a light fiberglass cover on the tank that is painted to match the race bike scheme.

was the height of the 2 gear pegs equal?

[@daniellim5137]

Hi I love your versions of the R3, I have a question as I am planning on buying an R3 solely motivated by this video. My question is, are there custom fairings on your super bike r3? or are they just painted? Aside from performance, your bikes looks more aggressive than the stock ones and I can't figure out what it is. Thanks

[@warbot2544]

Shocks and handlebar

[@matthewblack7124]

Why did you mill the piston heads? I thought that only increased your engine's power output in conjunction with boost? How much material did you remove, what is the new compression ratio and cc, and how much did that affect output?

[@TSTindustries]

We milled the head just a few thousands of an inch to increase compression ratio without incurring too much pumping loss and smaller pump volume. The compression ratio is further adjusted via head gasket thickness but now we can vary around a value that is more optimal for our tests. Increased compression makes for a more efficient combustion on every power stroke but fueling and ignition has to be altered to really take advantage of that. We will not be sharing any numbers yet as this was the first test of the parameters on this bike. Once we iterate a few more times we can share what we have learned. What I can tell you is that doing all this work did step up our corner exit power, and our top speed. Any dyno number I can give you will mean nothing unless you are using the same exact dyno we are using (not same model, but same machine). In the build we also modified the valve seats, and that flows more mixture as compared to stock setup. We did not measure the individual upgrades contribution to the final numbers so it would be hard to tell on this little bike what did what. In the future when we know all we need to know from these tests, and offer builds, we will have an a-la-carte ordering system to get the treatments to the motor you want and what you should expect from them (in typical % gains, and where in the RPM).

[@armo4075]

Can a r3 use mt 07 blok piston?

[@sikuningpg101]

Hi..can you share size rubber of michellin use for track

[@Tahiz21]

Where did you get the seat customed for the racing r3? Looks like a bigger space to sit in and a more aggressive seating position I might enjoy

[@TSTindustries]

This particular seat is part of the CRC Race Fairing Kit we have available: tstindustries.com/CRC-Race-Fairings-for-the-Yamaha-YZF-R3-2015-Complete-Set.html Alex Ferreira and Gabe Wingard are two of our TST riders and they have nothing but great things to say about it.

How much to build a bike like this???

[@thebestempty]

Oh man. Not knowing what the voltmeter is for is bothering me lol. New to motorcycles. What are some reasons people would put a voltmeter on? There wasn’t any major electronic modifications that would draw or produce power was there? Fuel controller, quick shift, wiring harness (chopped off lights), removed fan. Unless it has something to do with telling how the engine is performing?

[@MRworldEtIkA]

probably too late but yeah, some voltmeter has built in temp sensor like Koso's 3-in-1 voltmeter so maybe thats the reason.

[@lukaslukac8680]

Hey! Amazing work! 3 questions I can't find answer for in the video. Street version: Did you change the tires for a better grip? Did you also lower the handlebars? I have currently R125 2015 with a super aggressive native position and I am about to buy R3 but when I tried it in the shop the position was sooo boring :( Can you build me one and deliver to Spain? What would be the cost? Or do you have some partners you collaborate/trust in Spain? I don't trust Spain mechanics without recommendation.

[@TSTindustries]

Hi Lukas - Our "street" R3 doesn't see too much actual road-use so we did not change out the stock tires. However, if we road this bike on the road, we would most likely change tires. With that said, we also did not change out the handlebars as we do not ride it enough. However, if you wanted to achieve a more "aggressive" position, I would recommend checking out aftermarket clip-ons such as the Gilles Tooling clip-ons found on our website. Unfortunately shipping a fully built bike to Spain would be quite the expense for you to incur but if you were serious maybe we can work something out. Please note you'd be fully responsible for all charges including the bike, aftermarket parts, labor, shipping, and customs. This also include shipping logistics. For more information please email our Support Team.

[@lukaslukac8680]

Thx for reply! Yea I was serious absolutely. I did some digging and the biggest problem would be the taxes for transport. To get by, I would have to buy the bike in Spain, transfer it to UK, let you do the changes and some custom work I have in mind and then move it myself back to Spain but it seems to be too complicated. Shame you don't have a facility in Spain! There is a huge market here. Every second person has a bike as it's sunny 320 days a year heh. I will try to find a good mechanic here and buy the parts from you and/or get in touch, let's see. Enjoy the weekend.

[@Kingleo_23912]

Can I use most of the track mods for street purposes. I daily mine and I just want a more aggressive look

[@TSTindustries]

Look into local laws to make sure you won't get in trouble for some of these mods and then have at it

[@rahulbiswas2993]

what is the song u used

[@narsinghemantkumar333]

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]

There are many reasons. First off 160 and 170 are heavier and more torque gets consumed just spinning them. A skinny rim bubbles out the larger tires and you never use the entire tread surface. The bigger tires, when bubbled out cause a big geometry change from upright to full lean so it is harder to tune susp./geometry to this setup. Another big thing with the circumference change of tire on its side vs upright is that as you stand the bike up out of a turn you change the effective moment arm the drive train experiences and you bog the motor down. This bike likes high rpm and corner speed. With too big a tire you are working against that in many ways. We actually have tested a 160 and we can make it work but there is no advantage over smaller tires.

[@IamMotionMedia]

what are the highest performance street tyres you recommend to put on these bikes? because i dont think they make rosso 3s in their size

[@TSTindustries]

This is a touchy subject as "highest performance" means different things to different people. If we agree to talk about grip as the main contributor to "high performance" then I can say the following. We typically use race rubber that performs best when it operates at a certain temperature. You can get DOT race tires that can perform really well in a race setting but on the street you will never retain enough heat in them to keep them within their high performance operation window. Most of the tire companies out there have the top level street tire that uses compounds that perform really well at a very wide heat range so that is probably what I would recommend. If you consider other factors as variables in the performance characteristics (stiffness, longevity, feedback, profile, turn in agility, temperature range, etc.) then that opens up a much bigger conversation. If you really like the Rosso 3 tires then they are available in a choice of 110 or 120 front, and 150 rear.

[@JAVYWOLFRACING]

Thanks bro.

[@narsinghemantkumar333]

Mechelin road 5 or apollo alpha H1 for r3? Or any other tyre, which tyre u think is best? Indian roads are rough.. Waiting for ur reply.

[@TSTindustries]

Oh buddy, I am very sorry. I do not have any experience with the tires you listed. My advice would not be based on any real data that I have collected. We do not even have Apollo tires here in the USA so any advice I would give would not be fair to that company's product.

TSTindustries hahaha!!! Yes I did lol. It will be a fun race! I'll have new tires for that!

[@matthiasderoo9133]

Looks great, but why wouldnt you want mirrors on a steet build?

[@TSTindustries]

Some riders like to use aftermarket mirrors that install on the handlebars/clip-ons. We designed a product to help you remove the stock mirrors and fill the void left behind by them. Also great for track riders who use a street legal machine.

[@miguelangelchch4328]

Que tal tst le saludo de Perú que tipo de amortiguador trasero o monoshock trasero recomiendan para la r3 del 2019 como que el que viene de fábrica es algo débil un buen amortiguador para subirle o bajarle la altura y dureza saludos y de ante mano gracias saludos 👍👍😣😣

[@TSTindustries]

It really depends on the type or riding you are going to do and how much knowledge you have in setting up the bike. If you are doing track days and maybe some club racing the Ohlins Hypersport shock will suffice and be easy to set up. If you want more granular control over rear ride height, more spring rate options, and can handle the extra choices then I would say the JRI shock is really nice and we have used it on one of the bikes we scored an ASRA Moto3 National Championship on.

[@SpeedChill19]

Hello Tst industries 🙋‍♂️What is the good sprocket combination for the R3 stock engine to get the topspeed easily?

[@TSTindustries]

Your question is of a subjective nature and cannot be answered in simple terms. If you want more acceleration, you will reduce the top speed of the bike, but you will accelerate to the new top speed faster. For street use I doubt you really need to be cruising at over 100mph so going up two teeth in the rear, and/or dropping a tooth in the front will get you to that goal. We typically go to the track with many front and rear sprockets to be able to cater to the track, conditions, and rider on the fly. If you stick with the same pitch then you don't have to change the chain and your whole investment in this will be less, so I suggest that you get a front and rear sprocket and try all combinations of what you currently have with the new parts, and jusdge what works best for you.

[@israelmartinez4511]

Where do I get the link to listen to the track ready bike. Wanna hear the difference from all those mods you done

0ne question - How much is the bhp of the R3 bike(TST) 2016 yzf R3 Track bike

[@TSTindustries]

We built several trims of the race bike. Our Supersport legal machine, which you saw presented in this video, was capable of 42hp/21ft-lb peak output. The peak numbers do not tell the whole story. This bike was a meticulously built machine that had every Supersport legal modification possible, and won many races for us. If you watched this video until the end you saw that we at that time were prepping to bild a Superbike trim bike out of an R3. We did not have to stick to Supersport tech rules with that bike so we went totally wild on that build. We got 11 more horsepower out of that thing while getting it to just 275 pounds, with other technology enhancements further extending its performance range. You can watch a whole show we made about that build on KZbin. It's called TST Industries Superbike R3 Build. You can also read about it and its accomplishemnts here: tstindustries.com/blog/how-tst-went-from-r3-superbike-build-series-to-moto3-national-champions/

Unfortunately we will not release those numbers as HP readings are completely subjective. They depend on so many different variables including outside temperature, humidity, elevation, gas purity, and even the dyno you're putting the bike on. We simply ride to the best of our ability and make tuning changes when necessary. :)

[@jamesroydavies]

TSTindustries that’s fair enough, but you could at least tell us the hp/torque gains you achieved over the bike from stock. I’m sure you’ll have dyno’d the bike stock then again with all the mods??

The 250 rr's were primarily developed for the Indonesian market, so we do not believe they will make there way to the U.S. anytime soon. However, we do believe that the 300+ will make it to the U.S. market in the future.

[@m.rraghav817]

Im talking about twin cylinder 250, its got about 38 bhp at the crank and is the most advanced quarter litre bike in the market.

[@robertodio9590]

M.R Raghav The all new CBR250RR is developed for the market in Indonesia like TST said here. Because Indonesia have a leading market in 250cc. And the parts was also assembled in Indonesia. It won't be coming to U.S soon, but you probably could ship it to U.S. The point is that the CBR250RR was targeted towards Indonesia, because of the lead on the 250cc market.

M.R Raghav if you are in CO,ive seen one at a dealership last week

[@m.rraghav817]

jason valdez really? Heard they may introduce a 350rr?

[@danmurphy1994]

What does your track model weigh wet? Do you have it modified to accept and benefit from high octane race fuel? Lastly, I disagree with your comments on all dynos being different. If you compare dyno sheets from actual professionals who cool the engine properly, dial in the right settings and run it comprehensively between one another you'll NEVER see a variation of more than 1-3 percent. Which would be more on the bike than anything :). I understand that on a hot day in july high up in the colorado rockies the dyno's are gonna be different, same with other parts of central usa and different nations - but if your ever publically providing dyno sheets your job is to also provide information regarding the climate at time of dyno run, the octane of fuel being used, the mileage, temperature of the engine temperature of the air etc. I do know that Yamaha's are less happy in colder climates until they are wrung out to the point of ruminating their own heat source from the powertrain. I imagine this matters less for fuel injection models but I bet it's part of how they make their engines and still plays a minor role. I doubt any legitimately knowledgeable viewers with an opinion worthy of consideration would shit on you guys for posting specs of the bike! Nor will your competition scrap their project to copy yours so you've nothing to hide my friend. I had to skip a little bit through this video but I imagine with the usual myriad of high end aftermarket performance parts on the R3 your probs making 40-43 wheel hp in ideal conditions with 93 octane or higher.

[@TSTindustries]

The supersport machine weighs 317 pounds race-wet. We have it tuned on highest octane pump gas available in our area. If we were to re-tune it for MR12 we can get probably another 1.5 horse and .75 ft-lb out of it. The magic is in how the power is delivered, not the peak power. We have this bike set up for maximum usability by the rider. The issue with presenting facts for legitimately knowledgeable viewers only is that the other 99% of the viewers will miss the point. We have people calling out that they witnessed an R3 get a higher peak hosepower, or some other measurable parameter and they think that that is it for performance. We deliberately tune the bike for many performance characteristics and that sometimes has a tradeoff with peak numbers. Some dynos do in fact provide different numbers. Whether it be that they are deliberately set up to be generous, or they don't take into account atmospheric conditions, I can't control that. The crux of what I was conveying is that there is no way for direct comparison of different tuners results because you can't control the variables. This is why I rely on percentage of gain over baseline.

What size tires?

[@TSTindustries]

We use several sizes of tires on these bikes. Typically 110 or 120 up front and 150 in the rear. This year we will try a new tire setup with 110/140 sizes to see if we can get an advantage through spinning less mass on the wheels

[@cepsixty9]

415? wow

[@TSTindustries]

Yes. This is the size that most competitive guys are using right now on the R3s. The chain does not have o-rings so we have to keep it cleaned and lubed and pay a little more attention to it than normal sealed chains.

[@virtual_livilng]

You could have included dual disc brembo

[@TSTindustries]

This bike doesn't need dual brakes. That's just extra rotating and unsprung mass. We built a 53hp version of the R3, with which we won a national championship and set several track records. On that bike we have one rotor and still haven't found the need for more braking.

[@techstudiocamp]

r3 yamaha malaysia not take it..entry in malaysia just r15 r25 r6 r1..so sad

[@Killer1984able]

Predator Swat We don't even officially have the R15... just a facelift of FZ150 hahaha

[@undersun5683]

Thailand Nohave R25

[@Hydra-og6jf]

We indians only have r15 , you guys are lucky.

[@uksurfer2505]

No street clip one?

[@uksurfer2505]

Ons*

[@TSTindustries]

I don't know what you were asking about. The street bike had OEM clipons

[@uksurfer2505]

TSTindustries sorry. I was hoping to find some knowledge on how to best modify my 2018 R3 OEM clip ons. I am on a budget and am looking to change my rear sets, any tips? Finally I really enjoy your channel 😁👍

[@650hpreventon]

Other than r3, what other 300cc bikes are cheap to mod I like Japanese brands, best bang for your buck. Honda is not real 300cc like 284cc? but they are cheaper to start with, r3 holds their resale value, but cheaper brand new compare to ninja 300 new. Tough choice for me. The old ninja 250 up to 2012 and old ninja 500 are much cheaper now, but do they handle much less than new gens of 300cc bikes?

[@TSTindustries]

Personally, I would recommend the R3 or the Ninja 300 if you are looking at a 300cc range bike. The Honda is very well put together but lacks in the market of aftermarket parts or support. The Ninja 300 is a great bike and has been in the market for quite a few years. It's been proven in race series and holds up well on the street. The R3 is a newer bike and one we love for use on or off the track. The aftermarket parts and support for it is continuously growing and there are dedicated "R3" race series to enter in. We lean more towards the R3 but the decision is solely up to you.

[@richardfarabaugh7604]

TSTindustries I am getting my new R3 delivered in the morning. Can't wait. Already making a wishlist of mods.

[@brettfrashier7292]

Need a ninja 400 version!

[@TSTindustries]

Ah....we converted our ninja to SS spec race bike. We don't have a secondary N400 to do the street version for comparison.

[@brettfrashier7292]

@@TSTindustries Fair enough. Make a video about it anyway. I'll eat up anything ninja 400!

[@MoodSwingZX]

Swingarm spools dont help... Just use simple spools. They only break the mount on the frame xD

[@TSTindustries]

That's not entirely true. Every crash is different from the next so blanket statements like this are not always true.

[@jpcriddle6446]

R3 or Ninja 300???

[@TSTindustries]

The choice is truly up to you. We love both bikes but will stick by our R3 for our racing purposes.

[@RsRicky10]

I love my R3

[@foggyjunior]

Is there any reason why people in the US buy the R3 instead of R6 or R1? In Europe/Germany it's because of new laws, where fresh owner of a motorbike driving license (18-25 y/o) have to choke the power of their bike to a maximum of 48 HP while the stock HP must not be higher than 96HP (that's the reason why old 600ccm / 1000ccm bikes aren't allowed anymore). But why are Americans buy low ccm bikes and even go on track with them?

[@malrofo]

I bought it because I live in the city and there isn't a lot of space to go all out. It's cheat, good quality and fast enough for my needs

[@TSTindustries]

The smaller displacement bikes are becoming more and more popular in the U.S. for a few reasons. Low cost, easy to handle, lightweight, and my personal favorite of being able to maximize your throttle use without feeling like you're not in control. We have even found many top level racers and advanced track riders adding an R3 or Ninja300 into their bike stable for racing or track purposes. There's nothing quite like being pinned open at full throttle and barely needing to touch the brakes before diving into a corner. Our company owner and TST Racer Bart has recently decided to buy yet another R3 in hopes of racing on it in addition to racing our 2015 R1. Small displacement bikes are great for everyone from your beginning riders to your track day junkie and even professional racers.
