Custom and modification are a popular activity for motorcycle lovers and the Yamaha FZ V3 has been a commonly used motorcycle for that purpose. Now, in 2025 we are in a debate about whether the FZ V3 is still a good platform to modify compared to newer models. It’s simple and there’s a lot of aftermarket parts available, some riders like that, others say that more modern bikes have better potential for upgrades. The conversation revolves around all sorts of ways to customize, whether it be a more streamlined body and paint job, or an exhaust system and ECU tuning to make performance better. Some thought is also given to how modifications might diminish bike's reliability, resale value, and compliance with current laws. Bike enthusiasts argue about whether to improve the bike’s ability or to keep the bike’s original character.
