Thomazo Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi folks! Great to find a forum with people that share the interest for Yamaha MC's. After years with XL600R and later Elefant 750 - I was looking for something more "urban" and reliable to commuter to work in the city. I fell in love with the Yamaha MT-03, but was uncertain of it because I'm rather tall (1,90 cm). Going to the local Yamaha dealer to test-sit one, it felt surprisingly OK. After a good offer from the delaer I bought a new bronze MT-03 with Leo Vince exhaust ("low-power / 35 bhp instead of "high-power" / 45 bhp, because of local taxes, and because I have been told that it's easy to adjust it). Haven't yet got it, because it's still plenty of snow in the streets up here in cold Norway. Have therefore not even test driven it. Exciting to find out how it's really like..... Really hope I'm not to tall for this rather small bike. Any tall guys here with MT-03 experience??? Kind regards Thomazo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Velkommen Thomazo, I have a XT660Z with the same motor, although the final drive is abit different. You need to get the miles onto the motor when the weather improves, these things don't start to loosen up until well after the 6000 miles service.

ShoKz Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 my friend had a MT 03 , it looked superb! he was 6 foot 2 and it was fine for him. Make sure you get the baffles with the exhaust, when my friend had the arrow system in without baffles he was getting pulled within 5 min of going out. the bike has a good amount of torque and gadgets, you will find it great i bet! and welcome to YOC, im Dave.
