▲ 10 r/MT03

love everything about it but the darn Db level!

im a machinist so i whipped up a silencer. its not ss and was my prototype and it worked well. i did the back cap first but it was still a lil much so i added the inner sleeve and that worked. i left the rim on it so i can bop it out with a dead blow hammer (i machined it for a friction fit) i still get accel/decel noise and pops when i just crack the throttle but my ears are thanking me and so are the neighbors 😂. its been in there a few hundred miles so id say shes good!

i wish silencers were required and everyone included one. would be nice.

ill eventually try to grab a slice of 304 SS and some SS DOM tubing and make a legit one.

looks like i am only able to make hits at 1000yds with the 75gr otm. seems like 55gr load is only good for 900yds.

oh well...we cant have everything!

im pretty new to bikes, the 03 is my 2nd bike. I started riding last summer. i went from a 135 to the 03 and im quite comfy with throwing around the 03 on tight twisty backroads, or doing 75 on the highway. i got the 03 to have a full size, real motorcycle, but one that was under 400lbs and nimble. the MT-07 felt heavy to me just handling it in the store. i recently felt after about 1200ish miles the "i could go bigger" feeling, but i think thats where most people go wrong. I have SO MUCH more to learn, and I want to do it on the MT03/R3 platform.

it seems most people just go bigger in a few months and complain that the 300 was too slow.....im doing 45mph cruising backroads, can easily get to 80 on longer straights, and 75-90 on the highway isnt a chore. the wind isnt that bad. im 5-9 185lbs. how fast u need to go, 100mph all over? 😂

i wonder how much enjoyment people sell off just to go bigger, just to satisfy their desires and wants and SPEEEEED. i have a car thats as fast as an R6 and has a cage in it.... i dont really need a motorcycle to do those speeds 😂

i hope to stay humble and learn a lot from this bike...its really a superb scalpel through an apex.

have you used your MT-03 FULLY?
