I have a 2026 xsr900 with a Dominator GP3 exhaust and i have yet to get a tune. I know these stock tunes suck but I’m curious to know how much power these motors gain after getting tuned. For reference, i’m planning to go with VCyclenut.
Can you clutch up with rider aids (traction and lift control) on or does everything need to be turned off?
I’m thinking of getting an NZ-Race Carbon and I’d like to hear some feedback from others. So far i’ve seen little to no complaints about the helmet and they’re pretty solid. I was mainly looking for a helmet with low aerodynamic drag, lightweight, good FOV, decently priced and good ventilation (as well as sporty and aggressive looking). I ride a naked bike which already sucks for wind but lately my current helmet (HJC C91) has become an issue for being 1 size too big (a little too much play while on my head), and the helmet is just big and heavy which stresses my neck out. I will be getting a windscreen which will also help but a good helmet is also very helpful. Let me know what I should look out for and your experiences with the helmet if you own it.
Reviews look decent and it’s only 190 dollars (and ships fast) but I don’t know if there are other companies that might have better quality and worth paying extra for. Should I go with this or does anyone have suggestions? I have a 2026 XSR900 in Raven Black.
This exhaust is crazy. Looks great and sounds even better. And for a good price aswell.
Should I go with 2WDW or VCyclenut for my ecu flash? I’ve heard good from both sides but i’ve also heard a bias to Vcyclenut and i’m wondering what all they do that might be better than 2WDW.
How long did your exhaust take to deliver from the time you ordered it, to the time it showed up on your doorstep? I’ve seen a lot of people say 2-3 weeks but i’ve also seen a decent amount of people say they never got tracking notifications at all and that the exhaust just showed up. How did your process go?
Can the 25/26 model XSR900 be converted to GP shift?
I’ve read some things on where it might be which is behind the headlight unit, but I don’t know how to get to it. Can someone fill me in?
I’m about to buy a 2026 xsr900 and i’m lookin around for exhausts. So far I like the yoshimura, the m4 (blacked out design looks great but it’s dual silenced), and racefit (which is expensive af).
What other recommendations do y’all have? I want loudness with a decent tone (racefit probably has the best tone for me because of the gp style can) but maybe there are other suggestions that would suit me best.
I’m looking at options for my next bike and i’m really liking these XSR900s. I don’t like the previous gen look of the MT09 and a 22-24 xsr900 is a lot less expensive than a current gen mt09.
What are some things you could tell me about the XSR900? What are some things to look out for? What are your favorite things about this platform?
Recently had my first accident on my bike after riding for 9 months and I’m trying to understand how I should look at the accident. I’ve been riding great with no issues for the past 9 months, I took the MSF course and passed with no issues, and still after riding defensively for 8700 miles, I got into an accident which was my fault.
Long story short, I was stressed at the time after some shit happened with me and my motorcycle group and after getting separated, I cut a guy off trying to turn into a parking lot from the right lane (going left) and got hit by a guy in the left lane).
Ended up with a contusion in my foot and the bike looks alright but it’s banged up (this happened at 25 mph)
So my overall question is, everyone has their bad days so should I take my accident as a lesson for next time?
As the title suggests, my memorial day didn’t go so well and ended up getting into an accident with my 25 MT07. The bike still rides (even with a missing pegs lmao) and there’s no fluid leaks. The front wheel is misaligned so you have to counter the steering a tiny bit to drive straight and apparently there’s a vibration above 75mph.
My insurance is through progressive and i’ve never been in an accident before so I’m curious how this is gonna work. I have full coverage and the bike is a 2025 with 8700 miles on it.
I was wearing full gear and only ended up with what i presume to be a contusion in my left foot. It’s healing pretty well but i still need to get checked out more to make sure it’s fully good to go.
OEM comfort seat owners, is it worth the money or should I spend more for a better seat?
The stock seat as we all know just isn’t great and i’m looking to upgrade from it but my question is, should I go with the comfort seat that yamaha sells? I’m not necessarily looking for something that is going to knock my socks off but I just want an upgrade that’ll reduce fatigue and soreness during long rides.
Should I go for the comfort seat? Is it worth it to spend extra money for a better one? Is the comfort seat even a real upgrade from the stock one? Please let me know. (2025 MT07)
