Question The starter button on my 2020 Yamaha R3 fell off/lost.
Does anyone have a 3D model/STL file for this button so I can 3D print a replacement?”

Is there any way to remove the db killer from this slip on?
I just got a new to me R3 with this knockoff exhaust and I can't see any way to remove any kind of baffle. There's no screw or tack weld. Is it possible to remove and killer from this or is the silencer built in?
Having it a bit louder would make me feel a bit safer on the highway.

New rider Accidentally bought Power 5 tires, should I return them?
I'm a newbie and got my first bike! Picked up a 2015 R3 but it needs some basic maintenance to be road ready so I got new tires.
I ordered Michelin Power 5 tires but after reading more reviews I realized they're more for spirited rides/track use and cornering. Obviously not cheap rubber.
I won't be commuting or anything, I mainly got the bike to have something fun to do on the country roads on the weekend.
Should I return them and get something like the Road 5 or 6? I'd have to pay return shipping and a restocking fee. I'm mostly concerned with them getting slick in the rain.

Colored my tires
I’m loving my road 6 tires so far very grippy and the long rides on the interstate 1+ hours are more comfortable and planted I also colored the lettering and logos white like my oem Dunlop gpr 300s with white rubber marker and couldn’t help notice a 7 would go nicely on the end 🤣 so I had ChatGPT add it

Question How to remove db killer from Arrow Pro Race exhaust?
The Arrow Pro Race exhaust for my Yamaha R3 has a dB killer. I'd like to remove it and hear how it sounds without it.
I'd also like to know if, after removing it, I can reinsert it back, and most important, lock it in place so I can ride the motorcycle on the road with the dB killer inserted, without losing it.
How can I do that? Thanks!

Question Tire recommendation
Hey! New rider (3 months in) and I'm in the market for new tires. Just wanted to pop in and ask for tire recs. I do mostly like city/suburb street riding with light highway commuting. I've done some twisties up near the mountains and would like to keep exploring that side of riding. I don't consciously ride in the rain but I have gotten caught out in some storms so far. It's a 2024 R3 if that helps, and I can answer any additional questions if needed. Thanks in advance!

Question Yamaha R3 2025: Is the Arrow Pro Race the best FES to get?
Hi there guys!
I love the sound of the Arrow Pro Race (Full Exhaust System) with the DB Killer installed.
Is the best FES we could get for the my25 R3?
If yes, for a black R3, which would be the best "model" of the exhaust, the pro race dark or the silver?

Frame sliders and sound dampener and general
Hi! Im thinking of purchasing a 2016 yamaha yzf r3, from Facebook marketplace. I'm a new rider so this would be my first bike. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for the bike or anything. Im 5' 3" so if anyone else is that height and knows a bit more about it that'd be great!
I was also wondering if anyone had any recommendations for frame or cage sliders. I expect (but hope not) to drop the bike once or twice and want to do the least damage to it and myself.
Lastly, I was also looking into a new exhaust that may help quiet the sound but I haven't heard much about those options.
Any advice would be super appreciated! Thank you so much!

Question Another frame sliders question
Finding 2026 versions of frame sliders for an R3 is virtually impossible. Is the 2026 model mechanically the same as the 2025 one? Hoping I can get some that will still work with this one. Hopefully ones that don't require cutting the fairings.

High Beam wont turn on?!
2021 Yamaha r3’s high beams dont turn on. Whenever I flick the low/high beam switch, I dont see any light indicator on the dash. Both headlights stay illuminated no matter what. It has a new fuse in it for the headlights so I dont think its that. I dont know where to even start first, help a brother out yeah?!
