YZF-R25 Custom Parts Special! Introducing top-selling and recommended parts!

 11 min read

YAMAHA's lightweight sports bike, the YZF-R25/YZF-R3, has been popular among young riders since its introduction in 2015. In 2023, a new color, Dark Blueish Purple Metallic 3, was introduced, and production is set to continue. In addition, early models can be obtained at a relatively low price compared to when they were first released, making them a good choice for those who are just getting into motorcycling or adding a second or third model to their fleet. Here are some recommended custom parts for the YZF-R25/YZF-R3, whose popularity is still going strong.

Slip-on Exhausts

PRUNUS

The aftermarket exhaust most commonly installed on the YZF-R25/YZF-R3 is this one. If you've never ridden a YAMAHA bike the brand might not sound familiar, but it is the brand name of parts made by Sakura Kogyo, who handle YAMAHA's works machines and stock exhausts. The price of this slip-on exhaust, with its superior performance and reliability, is in the 30,000 JPY range, including tax, making it a super deal.

AKRAPOVIC

When it comes to YAMAHA's sports bikes, AKRAPOVIC is another brand that is commonly installed. Their exhausts are also often used as stock options. The lineup includes several specifications and styles, so you can choose one according to your own riding style.

OVER Racing

OVER Racing is the only choice if you are looking for a titanium exhaust that is lightweight and can keep its beautiful appearance for a long time. There are many variations in design such as the classic "GP-Performance RS", "TT-Formula RS", and the uniquely shaped "Twin Megaphone".
You can also choose from a variety of other parts, such as rearsets, frame sliders, and fender eliminator kits, to create a unified custom look.

Full Exhausts

WR's

WR's full exhausts have a reputation for providing satisfaction from low to high speed ranges. The YZF-R25/YZF-R3's original performance can be experienced despite the silencer's completely straight structure. The SS-OVAL type is about 50% lighter than the stock model, so you can really feel that your machine is lighter.

SP Tadao

Although not technically a "full exhaust", SP Tadao's "POWER BOX PIPE" exhaust pipe can be converted into one by adding your choice of silencer! This exhaust pipe was developed to give you an exhilarating ride and will surely make both city streets and touring more enjoyable. Of course, the combination with the stock exhaust is also effective enough.

Rearsets

BABYFACE

Rearsets are available from numerous manufacturers, but we recommend BABYFACE. They have been used in many races and are known for their performance, reliability, and quality. Choose the "Rearset Kit" for touring and the "Race Step Kit" for racing.

SNIPER

The SNIPER brand has strengthened its presence in the 250cc class in recent years. They actively support racing activities in Southeast Asia, such as the Asia Road Racing Championships. SNIPER offers standard anodized colors such as blue and red, which are rarely offered by other manufacturers.

Fender Eliminator Kit

DAYTONA

DAYTONA's fender eliminator kits are characterized by their low cost and high reliability. The special bracket is machined from aluminum and does not look cheap at all. LED license plate lamps and slim reflectors are also included.

OVER Racing

Do you want to have a stylish fender eliminator kit? If so, OVER Racing's is the one for you. The black anodized finish on the machined aluminum body gives it a high quality feel, and the logo that can be seen from the side is also a unique feature. No wiring modification is required and it is easy to install.

Suspension

Y'S GEAR

The Y'S GEAR and KYB collaboration suspension has 20-level rebound damping adjustment and 20-level compression damping adjustment settings to achieve ideal behavior. A separate pressurized tank with a strong visual presence can be attached with a special bracket. There are also higher performance suspension models available, so Ohlins and Nitron are also recommended, depending on your intended use.

Windshields

MRA

r2510-1.jpg

This windshield is 30mm longer than the stock one, and the center portion is pushed up to protect against wind from the front. Both new and old models are available. The price range is relatively inexpensive, making them a cost-effective sports type windshield.

WRS

r2516.jpg

The Italian brand "WRS" has been gaining attention in recent years and has been used in the MotoGP, WSBK, and other races. For the YZF-R25/YZF-R3, you can choose a smoked type as well as a clear type with high transparency.

Useful Touring Goods

DAYTONA

r2511.jpg

We recommend DAYTONA for smartphone mounts and USB power supplies that are useful for touring. They are highly reliable and relatively inexpensive, which has made them very popular. Since a lot of people use them, information on installation and wiring methods can be quickly found on the internet.

Universal Parts

Brembo

After you've bought a new bike and gotten used to riding it, we recommend strengthening the brake system. By installing Brembo brake calipers and master cylinders, you can not only increase braking power, but also dress up the wheel area. When installing, you will need to purchase caliper supports separately.

Conclusion

The YZF-R25/YZF-R3 is a versatile bike that is still used in a variety of ways, including touring, commuting to work and school, and on the race track, and there are a wealth of custom parts available. It is also a very reliable and trouble-free bike, which is another reason why people choose it. You can use other people's custom bikes as a reference, or you can go for your own original customization. It's a lot of fun just to imagine the possibilities.
