Woodcraft 15-18 Yamaha R3 Clip-On Install | Sportbiketrackgear.com

[@breakwood8531]

Just wanted to say thanks for uploading the R3 videos. I love how you take your time and show every step for beginners like me and explain what they do and why. You’re the best thank you.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van

[@Haven_games]

As a dad, I appreciate how much of the care and attention was motivated by who was going to be riding it. Much respect.

I love the fact he doesn't hardly touch his damn phone when we are at the race track. Happy to get the bike safe and dialed in for Max to ride. - Brian Van

[@AaronCohn84]

This video is SO helpful! Thank you! One thing to note, for the 2019+ model of the R3, the clip ons are below the triple clamp, so the upper triple has to be removed to do this job on the later model of the R3. Fortunately, you covered removing the upper triple clamp in the other video about installing the Woodcraft Key Switch Eliminator, which is also a fantastic video.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thank you for watching and enjoy that R3. - Van

Just bought some Woodcraft clipons from you guys so this is perfect timing!☺

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thank you for the order and I hope this makes the install a little easier for sure. - Van

[@joshglidewell117]

Thank you for selling great products and making these videos! This will definitely help me with the install this weekend!

[@FunnyBus3rd]

you can save money by relocating the factory clip-ons to the bottom of the triple clamp. All you need is a longer M6... only downside is that the throttle cable can rub on the fairing

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We did not try to do that on the R3. The reason we did not was if you crash the bike and break the OEM clip on you will need to pull the top triple again to install a set of clip ons. If you are going to do this go with clip ons that allow you to replace the tube if you have a wreck. - Brian Van

[@FunnyBus3rd]

good point about breaking the oem clip ons, but being on a budget , relocating the oems seems to be a good option

[@samgab]

Hello. Enjoying the series, thanks. My suggestion for the next one: Replace the throttle tube for a shorter throw R6 throttle tube, and change the factory levers for short, adjustable levers. Since the bike is being used for racing, both of those seem like no brainers. Anyway, keep up the good work, cheers!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We have the throttle tube now, just need to get it installed. Levers are on the way, we are going with standard length levers. Shorty levers reduce the leverage so I prefer to stick with standard length. - Van

[@MrOctoberhungry1]

Great video! Thank you! I'll be using this for sure when I fit clip-ons to my 2019 R3.

@@sportbiketrackgear fyi, it looks like for the 2019 R3 you have to remove the triple clamp! Just found that out today. All good though. Once that's off, the rest should be just as easy as your video! Cheers.

[@AaronHDRHao]

What is the difference between this and simply moving the OEM clip-ons below the top crown? Dying to know. Thanks guys

[@sportbiketrackgear]

It lowers the bar position to a more performance riding friendly position. Aftermarket clip ons also allow you to change just the hollow tube if the bars are damaged in a crash. OEM clip ons are one piece and break in a wreck. - Van

[@snikeone1562]

Friend, what size are the clip ons for yamaha yzf r3 2023?

[@Nathan2692]

Did you used torque wrench to torque it down

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No I do not use a torque wrench when installing clip ons on the bikes. If you are not comfortable working without a torque wrench I would encourage you to use one. - Van

[@Wolfcone]

Is there a full parts list for your build? Recently went down and I need to do a lot of rebuilding and don't want to waste my time.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Here is the link for the build page for this bike on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/2015-yamaha-yzf-r3-stg-project-bike/

[@mehdimalak4449]

hi are these clip ons at an angle of 0° ? If not, at what ° are they angled?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Woddcraft does not seem to have this spec published but I am pretty sure they are 7 degrees. 100% no 0. - Van

[@Thumb124]

Is it 37mm or 41mm diameter clip-on? Was trying to make a purchase of one of these but couldn't figure the correct size. Please help

[@batsy_jr]

What if those clipons move down.. will those clipons stay In the position ? That's my concern.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Once they are installed on the bike and torqued down they will not move around. We have had these on our STG R3 for 4 seasons now, work great. - Van

[@joseromero1400]

Just a quick question. The bar ends are not installed back? Thank you

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No you can not reuse the OEM bar ends with aftermarket clip ons. We do have several options if you want to run bar ends with your clip ons. - Van

[@Lagz2Glitchez]

Is there possibility of a video on lowering the bike?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Sorry we will not be lowering this bike as it has been converted to a track only bike now. - Van

[@eastsidedirtykid]

Hopefully I didn’t miss it but it looks like these clip ones don’t require a fork height adjustment? I’m looking at getting some but don’t want to mess with the fork height, just want to bolt everything on and go.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You can keep the fork height where it is, no need to change that when you install this set of clip ons. - Van

[@eastsidedirtykid]

Sportbike Track Gear thanks for the reply and all the content you make!

[@ethancas5360]

Will you be doing this on the Ninja 400?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We have the Woodcraft Clip Ons for the 400 on the bench right now. Hope to do this video next week some time. - Van

[@CarlosDiaz-jc9be]

Hello i have a question about installing these clip ons on a CBR500R. I want to get the wood craft clip ons with a 2.5’’ rise. So when you install these do they go under the triple clamp or on top of the triple clamp?

[@TheMaskman74]

Does this mod improve steering control? Or is this just a aesthetic thing? I’m a biker noob forgive me

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you are going to build your R3 into a fully prepped track bike you should install a steering damper. For street riding I do not feel like this is needed. A steering damper will help minimize and or prevent head shake when the front end is light on acceleration etc... - Van

[@TheMaskman74]

Yes definitely. You seem like you know what your talking bout.

[@Nathan2692]

How many cm is the hole u drill on the clip on bar

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I compare the diameter of the bit to the diameter of the locator tab on the throttle housing and use the one that is the closest. - Van

[@theholocron323]

Incredible video. Thank you for your time!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van

[@ImanRoshandel]

So the manufacturer of the replacement bars couldn't drill the hole themselves?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No, the bars are not direct fit parts so the holes may need to be in different positions depending upon the application. - Van

[@kanand00]

hi , wow.

[@ShockerTopper]

Ugh I hate modifications that require drilling of ANY kind. I don't like doing THOSE kind of mods to my bike in which a fuck up on the location of the drilling spot or cutting can leave you screwed. That shit is where I draw the line and let professionals deal with it. With every other thing that has to do with my bike, I'll install it myself...but ya, fuck having to do things like drill perfectly placed holes. I like nice bolt on products haha...not fabrication of ANY KIND. I like when things are set up in a way that is it is 100% meant to be that way and clip/snap/screw/bolt together nicely. edit: I wrote this before seeing him drill into the metal in the throttle portion of the bar...hell to the no. I ain't messing with drilling into METAL that is crucial to the placement of my throttle. Also not drilling into my ignition switch box either. I'll gladly pay a shop to do that shit. I ain't creating a nightmare for myself by half assembling my bike with a new part, then getting stuck where I am fucked and can't ride. I have a car obviously too, but what a pain in the ass fucking up my bike by trying to be "manly" and do EVERYTHING myself. I'll admit defeat when it comes to stuff that isn't bolt/snap/screw/glue/etc.-on lol...

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you do not feel comfortable doing the job yourself it is best to take it in to a shop. - Van

[@nikossofos2786]

very nice Clip-On

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Installing these on the R3 is a pretty big improvement. Much easier to get good body position on the track. - Van
