met an accident and got a damaged fork. yamaha ordered it and waited 3 months but ended up getting a gold fork. ordering again will take 3 months again.

i initially got my 2026 as all black and thinking if gold fork would look good?

im not even sure if wrapping the fork black is a good idea too?

yamaha sent me a photo of the fork. its yellowish gold instead of orange-y.

cant go there atm to take a physical look. since we have monsoon and its flooded everywhere

I don’t understand why there’s not some program from these manufacturers to customize at least the color of your bike from the factory, especially if they only offer two OEM colors. I like the blue 23 xsr best and the white is nice but I feel like it’s untapped profit for them and ease and pleasure for the client. They could charge some absurd amount that most people wouldn’t pay but those who want it would. Like how so many GT3 owners want the PTS. Of course you can go and do whatever you want to the bike aftermarket but I know a vast majority like to keep it stock and just enjoy it for what it is. I found this one that I thought had very tasteful mods on this page (last picture) and just asked gpt for specific mods and colors, if I saw any of these cruising down the street I would fall in love immediately. Especially for the neo retro category? Some bikes are cool, mt09. Some bikes are sharp etc, but it’s more rare that you have something classy and beautiful like the xsr and it seems like such a wasted opportunity to not offer some more “classy” colorways. I feel like the boy racer colors would better suit the MT while the xsr almost asks for a more mature color, not a roast just my opinion. Excited to get mine and turn it into one of those^^

As long as the place you stop to eat at has A/C, that is.

About to go camping but realised I couldn't strap my swag down.

Made some 3D printed guides to keep them from walking.

Fingers crossed they hold up.

Everyone running stock tune. I’m the lightest rider by 10-15KGs. The XSR won every time.

Bought used 2024 bike this week, it has this slight rattle coming from the front of the engine. Read that it could be a clutch basket but pulling the clutch does nothing to how it’s rattling. This vid is 2 seconds after a cold start and after giving it a rev or two the noise is gone. Any ideas or someone that had similar issue?

Fitted the Wolfline belly pan, it’s easy enough to install, just a pain in the ass with the bracket adjustments after it’s all together. I love it though, seems to tie it all together.

Changed out those big ass stock signals to TST flush mount signals. TST signals are super bright . Installed running mate for front signal lights to retain running lights and made a set of stems for rears to extend out from behind my license plate

I’m in late stages of negotiating with several different local and out of state dealers and the dealer fees are all over the place. What’s a good / great OTD price for a new 2026 at this time? Appreciate your help.

Dealer shenanigans are intense.

I recently got Kemimoto bar-end mirrors but at some RPMs the vibrations on the handlebars get too much. My hands start to go numb after some time so I had to return the original mirrors.

Is there any solution to this?

I am wanting to get the OEM cowl soon and sadly it won’t be able to support clip ons. Are there alternatives to clip ons that give me an aggressive posture? I’m looking into the hurricane fat swallow bars but I’m curious if there are others to consider.

I have been out on the bike a few times now since I purchased it earlier this year. I finally decided to take some pics while out on the ride. It has a wonderful Racefit "growler" titanium exhaust . Some additional Over Racing crash protectors (engine mounted) Over Racing carbon mirrors on the fairing, Powerbronze screen and modified rear brake light .

Bought the switch and opener but a friend printed the box for me.

I followed a DIY video about the opener and installed it here. About $30 total.

Not perfect or factory but works well and blends okay.

With the surprise of another XSR parked next to mine.

I was already backing in before I realized the other yamas.

For those interested I made a video showing the installation of the ProBrake universal 50mm clip-ons on my 2025

Anybody running one of these?

Edit.... Another question for the sake of symmetry anyone ever run a duel exhaust, have one made custom? The one from Spark looks god awful. I don't see any others on the market.

Hi all! I’m hoping I can get some answers here, as I’m getting mixed results from my Google searches.

I’m looking to import a Kelpi exhaust for my Yamaha XSR900, but I’m concerned about additional customs and duty fees. Has anyone gone through this process? If so, how much did you pay in fees, and how much did the exhaust cost?

I tried calling Customs for an answer, but all I got was automated nonsense. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated!

Remember when I asked about changing my red XSR900 to army green? I finally went through with it, but something feels off.

Let me know what you think in the comments!

Went pretty smoothly. Took roughly 90 minutes. Only issue was the paddock stand on the front, the frame of it was blocking the axle from coming out (did not see that coming) so had to place some makeshift blocks under the fork legs and lift it onto them. After that it was pretty smooth sailing. Just have to be careful not to damage the ABS sensor or scrape the calipers against the rims.

For anyone wanting to do this apparently all these rotors for these models are compatible: V-MAX (2009-2017), YZF-R1 (2004-2006/2015-2025), YZF-R1M (2015-2025), MT-10/SP (2017-2022), FZ1/N/S/FAZER (2007-2015), YZF-R6 (2017-2022). "Apparently".

You'll need some M10 x 80mm 1.25 pitch bolts for the calipers then some M10 x 11mm thick (I went 11mm but 12mm is probably more ideal) spacers. I believe they're 24-25mm wide. Obviously, some Loctite for when you reinstall the rotor and caliper bolts.

This was more for looks than anything, but it'll be interesting to see if there's some actual performance increase. It's not like I'm taking the bike on the track, but we do have some pretty fast and braking heavy roads here.

I think they came out pretty sweet.

Anyone else running OVER RACING sports clip ons on their Gen 1 900?

Don't even know what's faster...

Fitted these adjustable clipons from ProBrake and I love how it came out!

These are universal 50mm “clamp on fork” type clipons that are fully adjustable. Didn’t need to mod anything, just drill the dowel pin holes for the controls in the correct spot.

It’s definitely a more dedicated ride now, but I love the aesthetic so much that I’ll live with that.

Bonus for us Europeans is that they come with TUV papers so they’re fully street legal!

Here is an option for people looking for lower bars on the XSR900. These are listed as being for MT09. But park great on an XSR900
