This is the unveiling of my Race Ready Yamaha YZF-R3. I’ve spent the last few months converting this R3 from it’s stock state to the final product that you will see in this short video.

Review & Installation of the RS1 Hit-Air Wearable Airbag Vest
In this short video, I am explaining how the Hit-Air RS1 airbag vest works and I am also documenting the process of attaching the coiled wire to the frame of the bike. This is a new installation of the coiled wired on my R3 project bike. However, I have been using this airbag system for the last four years. I used this vest with all my race bikes, and I am convinced that this is the optimal setup for track days. I specifically chose this model because you don’t need to charge any batteries. You can re-pack the system yourself in case of an incident (as long as the airbag…
HOW-TO: Optimize your Quick Shifter with a Perfect Shift Arm Kit
The Norton Racing Perfect Shift Arm kit contains a universal shift arm and eight different offset lengths to set the shift arm position exactly where you want it to be. This shit kit will allow you to adjust the clearance and optimized the shift angle. In my opinion, this modification is a must if you installed an aftermarket Quick Shifter and/or upgraded your rearset. Before installing the Perfect Shift Arm kit, my shift knuckle was at the very edge of the spline, and the module of my HM QuickShifter was almost touching my rearset mounting plate. This kit from Norton Racing allowed me to properly adjust the knuckle, which is now fully seated on the spline. Additionally, I was able to choose a spacer that extended the distance between…
Installing Decals, Stompgrip pads & a Seat on my R3
In this video, I am documenting the process of installing decals, some Stompgrip tank grips, and a Graves race seat on my Yamaha YZF-R3. Installing decals on a bike is so satisfying! If you take your time and do it right with high-quality decals, you can transform the look of your machine. I love my daily vehicles to have a clean look with very minimal badging and decals, but it’s a different story for my race bikes. I love the vibrant splashes of colors from the decals on race fairings. Installing decals isn’t very difficult once you figure out how to align and center the decals on your bodywork. You…
Flash the ECU on your R3 with the Norton Racing Race Spec ECU Flash (FTECU)
If you want a big performance improvement on your bike, this is the solution! This flash from Norton Racing will result in faster revs, increased torque, and increased top end horsepower. I strongly recommend that you take the time to install the smog block off plates and AIS Removal kit at the same time. After watching this video, If you don’t feel comfortable re-flashing the ECU, you always have the option to mail your ECU to Norton Racing and get them to flash it for you.
