Hello Bro! How are you?! Greetings from Brazil! What is your feedback regarding the use of the 160 tire? Some problem? I'm thinking about changing the one on my bike too. Does the 160 fit correctly on the rim?
Yeah I’m getting a 160/60/R17 Dunlop Sportmax GPR 300, a full Yoshimura R77, and ECU flash. I want a 120MPH top speed, so far 114MPH is my best run, hoping the weight savings and few horsepower will get me there. Might go with the TST WORX Pack.
I ended up getting the Dunlop GPR 300 Sportmax 160/60/R17 and love it. I installed some winglets the other day as well and it’s much more stable on the highway. I tried for a top speed run and only got it up to 113MPH. Going to try again, I think I was in a headwind. I’ve got the Toce Full System, Norton ECU Flash, Velocity Stack, Airbox, MWR Air Filter, and Lithium Battery. Going to swap out the sprocket in 3,000 miles for an aluminum with steel teeth. I had a fairing bolt fall out, and my winglets may have increased drag. Going to try with half a tank as well.
Did you do any adjustments to the front as in lowering it a bit? Heard since the 150/60 is .07” smaller Than the stock 140/70 you would need to lower the front a smidge?? Thanks
@@shawncouture5541 alright thanks. First bike and wasn’t sure on how much the geometry of the bike worked by just changing a tire. A lot of people are making it seem like it throws the bike WAY of or something. I use it for commuting no track or racing.

@@zhainalmarkjulaine6636 It is not necessary to change both. You can put a larger tire on in the back and it will not affect the front. I have even put a 180 on in one of my other posts. take a look at those videos and you will see it looks great and rides great with no issues at all. I did have to upgrade the rear rim to a 5.5 inch to accommodate the larger tire size. Hope this helps. I also included the links where to get the rear rim as well.
I also have the stock rear rim saved with a 160-60-17 tire brand new if you are interested in it. I dont use it but it sure is a big upgrade from stock and looks amazing. I went with a 180 and a 5.5 inch rim and now my bike looks like the R1 i had in the past or my R6
I just change to 160/60/17 tire today looks great . waiting for summer gets to test drive
👍🏼
Bout to order a 160/60 and 120/70 rn lol

You will more than likely never hit 120 mph on the R3 as sixth gears rev limiter hits right at about 118-119mph and then your done.
how wide is this rim as my bike apparently has a 5.5 inch rear rim with a 140 on and was wondering whether a 160 would fit
Please take a look at my other videos, and you will notice that the rim is a 5.5
Does a 160/60 or a 150/60 do better cornering than a 140/70? Which has better grip?
I actually never noticed a difference or a problem. I loved the slightly bigger look.
Hi mate the 5" rim im thinking of buying myself do you recommend the 180/55/17 or some other size?
Yes please see my other videos with the rim and tire upgrades. I also have posted comments where to get
You should have no problem
where do you buy the rims
Did you do any adjustments to the front as in lowering it a bit? Heard since the 150/60 is .07” smaller Than the stock 140/70 you would need to lower the front a smidge??
Thanks
I did lower it at one point but put it right back after a short period of time it didn’t seem necessary

@@vtecdpn100 no problem at all
Did you experienced too much bounce with you rear tyre after replacing it with 160? Mine started bouncing like crazy with high speed. 😭
Not one issue at all. You might have a balance issue
Just got my first motorcycle its a R3

What tire pressure do run on the 160?
Recommend using standard tire pressure
CAN YOU PUT A 170/60/17 ON A STOCK
RIM , WITH THE R3 YAMAHA 2016
KIND REGARDS
No! The max you can go on a stock rim is a 160
Great videos! R3 ‘23 here. Thinking of upping to 120/70/17 & 160/70/17. How would that fair?
@@ArielS-kk4cr if you look at my other videos, it shows you the max size that you can go on a stock rim before having to get another rim
@@shawncouture5541 thank you! Check it out, how’s the ride, especially around the curves?

Can I fit 5.5 mm rim on Yamaha v3
Yes
You think a 150/60 r17 would fit on a 3.5" rim?
No. The rim is too small
@@shawncouture5541 but r15 v3 has 140/70 r17 has stock and i saw a post saying that you can increase atleast 10mm from its stock size
This is what I found. These will fit on a 17 rim 3.5
140/70*17 3.50/4.00/4.50
150/60*17
150/70*17
@@shawncouture5541 thanks bro
@@jinwoo9801 anytime
What size is that rim?
This video has the stock rim which will allow you to put on a 160-60-17 size tire max.
That third number on the tire always indicates rim size just for future reference. Same on Car tire sidewall
@@mtmatt8958 that is correct. The first number is width. The second number is height and the last number is the rim size
What is your front tire profile bro?
I kept it stock.
@@shawncouture5541 bro is it necessary that if you change 160/60 then the front is also 120/60 not 120/70? Should it be the same “/60s” or nah?
