Webike's Opinion

Here is a "YAMAHA MT-03(FZ-03)" custom by Webike community user "Chinta". With over 20 years of riding experience and 23 bikes under his belt, the owner of this MT-03 knows his way around motorcycles. One of the things he loves most about the bike is the bold and instantly recognizable front face, defined by the sharp, narrow position lights that make it unmistakably an MT-03/25. Standing at 156 cm tall, the owner finds the 780 mm seat height extremely manageable, even without any lowering modifications. He can touch the ground with both toes, and just shifting his weight slightly allows him to plant one foot flat—something he really appreciates.

On the downside, storage is practically nonexistent. Once the ETC device is placed under the passenger seat, there’s no room for much else. Since the bike is also used for commuting, a rear box became essential. To solve that, he added an ENDURANCE Rear Rack and a GIVI Top Case for extra convenience.

For the exhaust, he chose a WR'S SS-OVAL Slip-On Silencer, opting for a heat-colored titanium finish to match the bike’s blue paint. The higher rev range now flows more freely, and he can actually feel improvements in torque and speed, especially in the power band beyond 9,000 rpm where the power delivery increases significantly more than the stock setup. The MT-03 already has a deep tone, but the new exhaust adds a drum-like rumble that gives it even more presence.

The levers have been upgraded to U-KANAYA Aluminum Billet Levers. U-KANAYA’s signature billet levers, crafted from 6061 aluminum alloy, stand out for both their looks and quality. With a wide range of color options, it’s easy to find the perfect match for any bike—a mod the owner highly recommends. To protect the bike in case of an unexpected fall, he also installed DAYTONA engine protectors. It’s one of those mods you hope never gets used, but one you’ll want to have from day one.
