How To Ride A YAMAHA R3 (For Beginners)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- So, you want to know how to ride a Yamaha r3 motorcycle? You’ve come to the right place! I explain the basic principles on learning to how to ride a motorcycle. In my options there’s 3 major steps
1. Clutch
2. Up/down shifting
3. Steering/counter steering
Once you get these 3 the process becomes way easier! Remember to find the friction zone when practicing the Clutch. Shift around 4000-6000 RPMS when first starting, and always look where you wanna go!

All weekend long I’ve been checking out bikes. You just convinced me to get the R3 over the Ninja 400. Thanks for all the advice you gave. I’m a first time rider! Safe riding bro!
Awosme bro! Great choice! Welcome to the team 💙
@@gh0st271 what if i were to get both would you recommend that
@ stop it 🤡
Same here 😂
Hows it been?
R3's are very forgiving bikes, which makes it super easy to learn clutch/friction zones. I started on a Grom and it was less forgiving on the clutch. I would stall it so easily. With the R3 I never had issues. It was such a breeze to grasp. I still have my 2020 R3 and love it!
your comment is great to me because my brother literally started on a Grom and now has an R3! Also, you gave me a lot more hope, because I'm learning on the R3 now and was wishing I would've on the Grom because I am short, but I have some hope now lol!
@@caitlinc9235 short is not even a problem bud. My sister is 170cm and she easily ride my bike which is R3 too and my height is 182cm so ?
@@fillettru bro 182cm is tall lol.
I learnt on the grom too. I thought I was the only one having that prob.
I was wondering, “why does this guy have no subs” now I know
Random, no matter what... I always hold the clutch in when I start a bike. Just in case something is in gear, or you randomly twist the throttle or something, that clutch pulled in will stop all of that in its tracks.
I was thinking the same thing...
Can i keep holding the clutch while gasing and shifting gears?
@@Chris-oh4rl Yea. You can. Holding the clutch allows you to switch gears. Holding the clutch also cuts off all power to the gas / throttle. So the clutch is there to assist / help you. You could hold the clutch in, and the bike will go nowhere. It’s “almost” like a brake. So to speak.
@@TopshelfJunior do you hold the clutch when driving the bike ?
@@ultimasolucion6904 Only when you need to switch gears.
I know this video is pretty old but I appreciate the “how to” I’m planning on hopefully getting this bike in a couple years as my first
Change of plans man, I pick up my 2021 blue R3 on monday. 🙏🏾 🔥 August came early 😁.
Nice bro!!! That’s awesome
Bout to pick up mine in bout a week august birthday came early 😂
Good explanation! I'm looking at potentially getting an R3; never owned a bike before but to have years experience driving manual cars, so those habits could be either good or bad when learning how to shift and drive a bike :)
My goal is to get an r3 or a honda cbr 500r?
It's pretty much identical to shifting on a car aside the the neutral gear being in between 1st and 2nd gear. If you have a buddy with a dirt bike or a Grom you can learn how to do it on that first before you learn on a R3
I’m getting a Yamaha r3 in matte black soon! Thanks for posting these bro!
That blue is growing on me more and more 😍
Bro I just got my R3 today and I’ve had it stall on me a couple of time but the way u made this vid was on how to get out of first (1) gear, dope good job man thanks
Perhaps use a different word that “blip”. In driving stick shift, when you “blip the throttle”, you give a bit of gas, not let off of it. That may be confusing for people that are able to drive manual but not ride a bike.
That's how I was confused for a bit. He's just letting off the throttle, same with a car
Yes he is only letting off the throttle in a fast style. Blipping is fast jerky rev first before the fast off motion so that the revs are slightly up when gear engages therefore helping the bike match the downshift to the engine revs. Difficult to explain lol. The R3 has no slip and assist clutch so it would be good to learn this skill for this bike, although it is not essential and you don't need to do this, provided you learn how low the revs must be at before you downshift each gear comfortably for the bike..
This is like my older brother teaching me how to ride. I appreciate it bro💯
Great video! I'm planning to buy R3, maybe next year.
Yes bro!!
this public service announcement is brought to you by goose sht
Know it’s 2 year old video but holy!!! He explain the clutch so easy!!! Planning on getting my moto license. I already know I either want an R3 or a Honda Grom. Im looking for something fun nothing fast and those 2 bikes I fell in love with! Thanks for explaining everything!!!
Grom is a toy tbh
The R3 can go pretty fast bro
Great video bro, i remember back when i first started riding geared bikes and i spent a whole day in an empty carpark near my house practicing clutch control just like this. Anyone watchint this can rest easy knowing its great advice and gets you very comfortable with the bike.
Thank you for making this! Thinking about getting an R3 this summer.
Definitely should!
Just bought myself one and you were very helpful, thank you
just got a 2018 r3 with full akrapovic exhaust + tune (it sounds incredible, i cant believe its only a 300). im completely new to motorcycles but always wanted one for as long as i can remember, i have 2 manual cars (02 wrx 99 tacoma) so thankfully i have some manual trans experience. 1st practice session tomorrow🙏🏼
Not sure if you misworded or if bikes and manual cars are different in shifting technique, but you generally dont “blip” the throttle when shifting up cuz that would mean you are giving revs to shift up. You would normally give revs or blip the throttle to downshift for rev matching?
Yea I think misowrded it- you roll off the throttle when I shifting but down shifting blip the throttle to rev match
Any chance you could do a video on the gear the beginners should look for when buying a bike? Any recommendations in terms of what we should get first, how to buy it, do we go for the expensive stuff always without even considering its budget counterparts? I was told for example to never buy a helmet without trying it on first since it needs to fit almost perfectly, so pretty much online shopping in this departament is a big no, no. Second-hand helmets are also strongly not recommended, or so I was told. Do I need to get all four pieces of clothing from the start or having say a jacket and gloves will do until I save up more money? Do I go for expensive leather jackets, or those textile ones will suffice for the time being? Thanks man, subscribed today.
You got it!!
Good staring vid! I’m a smaller dude in my late 40s and bought me a 2021 R3. Such a good starting bike. Light weight bike you don’t have to worry about just dumping on its side when you make a mistake. Loose gravel at a stop can get you when your foot slips out. Painted lines is something to watch for they are slick. Once you get comfortable with your R3 you won’t regret it.
Throttle-less starts should only be used to learn where the friction zone of the clutch is, in confined spaces. Once you get the feel for it, give it a little bit of throttle before releasing the clutch.
That way you can release the clutch MUCH faster, and avoid being in the way of people behind you. And there is much less chance of stalling the engine. The R3 doesn't have a ton of torque either, so it will stall easier than a bike with a bigger engine.
Once you get the hang of the friction zone, start releasing the clutch simultaniously with revving the engine. It quickly becomes pure muscle memory.
If you do throttle-less starts at an intersection with people behind you, they *WILL* start honking at you!
My experience in the matter comes from riding 250cc bikes, like the single-cyliner Honda CB 250 RS and twin cylinder Suzuki GSX 250 ES. Well, and the Suzuki GSX-R 250, but that one is in a category of it's own. It's a JDM 4-cylinder 249cc with 48 hp and a redline at 17K. It only began pulling cleanly above 6K (5K would fry the spark plugs), and needed 10K to start feeling like a proper motorcycle. And no matter how slow you were going, it would sound like you were speeding. At 80 km/h (50 mph) it would be at 7K in 6th gear. :) And you couldn't adjust the idle by using the rev counter. Idle was 1600, but the counter only began at 3K. XD
Picking up my 2021 R3 tomorrow. Your videos gave me the confidence I need to ride. Thanks bro!
Awosme bro!!
you got it? how does it feel? im 19 yo right now and im getting money together for next year, i want to get a R3 aswell :D
@@samholsink6843 Yep I picked it up yesterday. Rode it home 2 hours from the dealership with zero experience! It was scary for sure, but it's going to be fun as hell once I learn properly and the nerves settle down!
@@sixxx-music Hahah, good luck man! What color did you get?
@@samholsink6843 blue
Very informative video. R3 looks so good. Thinking about pulling the trigger on one👍🏽
Liked the video as soon as the video started. had my favorite song playing lol.
It’s 2024 and this video is 3 years old. Even though that’s the case, it is very informative for me as a person who is considering buying a motorcycle 🏍️. Thank you 🙏🏽 for this video and I will be subscribing to your channel.
Question 🙋🏽♂️, Are u still making new videos ??
Been looking at R3’s for 2 months after getting these past few stimulus checks and i think ur video convinced me to get it
Hell yeah bro!
Did you get it?
Started on the street in 1985, yes, that long ago on the then brandy new Kawasaki 600r Ninja which still resides with me. Just could never part with it. All the years between you name it I rode it. Now I think I want to add one of these to the stable, would definitely be a good choice.
Super helpful and surprisingly similar to a MT car. Thanks for posting. :)
man i want an r3 so bad but im so scared to just jump into it alone
Nice. I think showing people you can take off without gas is important for new riders. Also scenery looks like Montana, I am hesitant about a bike because after snow there is so much sand and dirt leftover...any issues with that?
Cant wait till im 16 I just love th Yamaha R3 and learning how to ride it would be perfect for experience
yep, great bike to learn on!
Thanks to Dillion I settled on buying R3 as my first bike and let me tell you I wouldnt buy anything else as a starter sport bike. It was kind of hard adjusting to R3 after learning on MT-07 as turning on a sport bike is harder than a naked bike but when you get used to it, its a great learners bike. dash has everything you might need, has ABS, really lightweight and short bike.
Engine is not that powerful so its good for you to learn on, first and second gear is really short so you have to constantly switch gears when you are commuting, again great for practicing gears. Bike comes alive after 4k rpm, even tho it looks aggressive the bike is really not aggressive. Its a little expensive for a 300cc and its tempting to add a little more money and go for bigger naked bikes but you wont learn to ride comfortable on a higher cc bike as a beginner. I am struggling to go fast because bike doesnt allow you even though I am full throttling it but its a good thing because I get to use the bike to its full potential comfortably knowing it wont launch like a rocket ship and lose control. The more you use it the more comfortable you get, you get used to higher speeds as you get more experience.
@@abyedrikn what’s ur top speed on r3 and how much do you weigh
@@zin9121 170km/h 80kg
Step 1 to learning to ride a motorcycle GO TAKE A CLASS they teach you more than riding they teach you control and safety.
Learn the fundamentals and then have fun. Boom you know how to ride. It’s way easier than you would think. Don’t overthink it. Take your time and enjoy.
Great video bro!! By the sound of your voice, sounds like you're freezing. Love the thin Blue Line key chain!!
I love how you say, “if you’re a beginner you prolly wont go over 2 or 3 for a while”, bro i literally got my first ever bike yesterday and was already hitting 100 mph on it, then i was dropshifting that shit like a g
Key word "Probably"
😂😂😂
I think he was referring to sane beginners😂
Fuck yeah
The letting out the clutch and getting going again after a stop absolutely throws me on my new R3 as a new rider. SO difficult to get right. Stall city.
The more you put gas while releasing the Clutch, the more of the chances it won't stall...yet you probably figure thst out by now😅
Who came here for the music? Me neither. However I do dig the R3 . A very cool bike for beginners or experienced riders that want a bike that is more fun to ride than a full blown crotch rocket and maybe keep your license safe..
I'm wanting to get an R3 soon...I just hope goose shit isn't included 😅
Holly shit the video I was actually looking for.😂
this video felt very canadian
Just got a R3 rn lol
How long did it take you to feel like you got the hang of it? I’m on my third short ride with my r3 and it’s kind of discouraging hah. People don’t give a lot of grace for inexperience either!
Seeing how your riding experience is going 5 months in?
When I get a Re I want the color to be blue like yours I like blue. 🙂 and toriel was helpful 😁
Neutral - check the bike is neutral before starting. Always. Otherwise the bike can just drive off.
Often there a Green N light on the dash clocks area.
If no light then tap down all the way on the gearshift to get to 1st gear, then a half tap upwards to get into neutral.
Hold the clutch lever fully back to the bar, within reason, when changing gear.
What is a clutch?
The clutch is the divider between the engine and gearbox/rear wheel.
It's like 2 CD discs that are hard sprung together, and when you pull the lever it pulls them apart. 1 CD is stuck to the engine, the other CD is attached to the gearbox shaft, which drives the chain to the rear wheel.
When you steadily and controllably release the clutch lever the two discs spring together tightly so they move together. Then as you rev the engine it's CD will be pressed tightly to the gearbox CD and it will force the gearbox to spin which will spin the chain to the back wheel.
You might have heard of the phrase clutch plates, that's the clutch plates just like dinner plates or CD discs. They are literally a couple of round plates.
Hope this helps.
great video man u earned a sub. can i ask where you got your bike delivered from? so hard to find somthing near by that has the r3 in stock!
Thank you! Looking at getting a R3, this helped me
I weight 46kg and 5’2 do u think this would suit me? I really want to Get a bike am 15 but am working towards saving up for next year and getting an R3.
September of 2024 & ya videos are STILL inspiring people !
question i just got my bike and im ready to ride but wonder what kinda of gas do i use on my 2021 R3? the manual says 87 but some people i asked say premium.
I drive stick and have only owned m/t cars. I understand the concept of riding a m/t but I'm hoping I can translate it to a bike. Lol I have my first class this Sunday.
It’s just like a stick shift car basically same concept but yeah it does feel a little scary on a bike. Great vid I wanna get a r3
Yo bro, what levers are u using? Kind of having second thoughts of chanchign levers...
I was wondering where this guy was and then he kept saying Goose Shit.
Then he says multiple time about Goose Shit hahahah you gata be from Canada 🇨🇦. This is how much we Canadians get annoyed by these birds monstors lol. I couldnt focus pass goose shit!
Sir can i ask you something? I am using a honda xrm 125cc simi automatic, is it ok for me to jump up into the yamaha r3?? I hope you could give some tips about the r3 because im thinking about getting one, thanks
You should have no problem doing that!
I went to a Ducati shop to shop for a helmet cause I don’t know my size I’m a beginner with no experience so I’m in there and he’s like when you planing on riding I said in the next 2 years his jaw dropped 😭💀
Wow man, you gained almost 2.5k subs in a year! That's crazy. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to the day I get my 2020 r3
Thank u so much for this till this day I’ll be back when I get mine 🙏
You gave me the confidence to get a bike , hopefully I get one tomorrow
I know I’m late but am I glad I came across you 🙌🏼 getting a r3 in the next week or so and I’m gonna juts mess around in my driveway and then go take my test and this video actually made me feel so much better ❤️
Do you have to Shift back into 1st out of neutral to accelerate when you take off or can it do it automatically/and or drive in neutral? Thanks
Just bought a 2022 R3, I am a beginner rider having fun learning and riding
Love it! I think the R3 will be my first bike! Planning on going for the assessment later this week as long as this weather here where I live eases in Australia
how much did you end up spending for gear? also what gas does it take and how many gallons is ur average fil up/ how often
Only need helmet + gloves. Then shoes if u want. Gas up once a fortnight, or less.
@@HeldIntegral nah u need jacket and pants
Immediate like for the intro song choice ❤️🔥
Give all credit to this guy. He really went out in winter to shoot the video
where’d you get your clutch and brake levers from or did they come already on yours?
So basically the clutch will is your bestfriend on a bike.
I just got mine today !(02/14/2024) and a lot of what you said helped me out a lot today thank you so much !
Im interested in buying the same one 2024 r3 from europe but im beginner, i have been riding couple of times 50cc aprilia, but never bike like this, so im so excited, my question is, is it hard to get used to it if you’re unexperienced?
@@mirkopopov7018 if you had experienced before you should be find to start off like the video it’s not really that hard but I had a little more experience from my other bike but honestly I think by far this was the easiest bike to learn from in my opinion !
After watching this I think I'm ready to get a bike and go whip it on the highway 😂😂
But there's a Bunch of Goose shit, all-over this parking lot.
What levers are on your bike? I need adjustable ones as my hands are short.

I thought with shifting down u want to rev match ? Not let off the throttle like shifting up
You mean you should go somewhere that there is no water is that makes you scared if you are a beginner

Oops, Ive got a gsxr 250....wrong vid.
Rear blinkers look hideous man wtf
Any tips for a first time rider Iam getting a r3 this weekend
Me over here wanting an R3 watching R3 videos 😅
Great video. I am thinking about getting into street bikes. I race motocross, so motorcycles aren't foreign to me. I don't know if you are familiar with motocross, but do some of the skills translate over to street bikes?
Do most guys ride without an endorsement?
When ur downshifting in higher gears do you have to rev match or is it not too much of a problem if you don’t on the r3
Me and the homies hate goose shit
😭😭
Ngl I was tripping had to check if my music was playing when the video started, good video:) thanks bro
Gonna need this video in 2,5 years when I hopefully have a A2 license
Hey man, so I'm 15 but have been riding dirt bikes since I was 6. I'm think about getting a motorcycle when I'm old enough. Do you think the R3 won't be enough for me? Should I go with an R6 or something else?
Let’s go over here cuz there’s no goose shit over here 😂😂
Which Yamaha motorcycle would u recommend for a 16 year old/beginner girl?
I'm not the UA-camr but R3 for sure.
@@laggryu fo sho
Let’s go over here because there is no goo shit over😂😂
Just got my first r3 as my first bike. This helped a lot thank you man
Do you shift down with the right or the left?
Why do you sound stressed out?
I just started riding this year. & I have an 2023 Yamaha R3 in Black. I added a Yoshimura R77 full exhaust instead of the stock exhaust. Let’s get er done boys! 🏍️
How much is an r3 2017 worth anyone? Around 4k miles
Pretty funny that a 2017 has less than 1y worth of mileage on it. I wonder at how long it's been sitting there unridden
Slick looking bike, how is the seat comfort?
It’s not bad man!
What is the song in the beginning
Still debating r6 or r3 😅
I would like to own a R3 it's a cool sport bike for beginners😎😜. But I will probably buy a 2nd hand 2017 and onwards model since Yamaha is expensive😅
I know how to ride a automatic motor and manual without a clutch but i tried to ride a manual with clutch bro i almost fell it give me a heart attack
