First time xsr (or any cp2) buyer

So the owner was super transparent with sending even more walk arounds and pictures of the bike/title. Just curious if there's anything I should look out for. Wanted to get into the CP2 world for as cheap as possible without getting a clapped fz with 40k miles, and this seems like a really good deal. The stator side has a really small scuff and I dont think the tank plastics are oem for the year, I doubt it's worth haggling over since the price is already pretty low considering the year and miles. Thoughts?

Me again, I know i post a lot but new bike so lot of questions. What do you guys think about product to clean ,engine spark plugs, carburetor etc. Any good product you know works well. Maybe some product you put in your fuel to make the component last longer?

Buddy Day

Originally I wanted a 701 or SMCR but the universe provided me with a XSR and now Starlord Random put us on a scenic photo spot! I appreciate and as we say “feier das sehr”! Here is some prove! God I love those bikes…

Hi, Has Anyone changed his exhaust pipe? I'm hesitating to change it cuz the original one looks a bit short and i think the bike would look better with a longer one. Any advice?

Brought the 2026 home this weekend!

I can honestly say I’m happy with the purchase! First Yamaha street bike, and first time riding a bike with the CP2, and now I understand all hype, this little guy rips! I’ve owned several v-twins, 650 and 1K, and one 910 inline 4, and my previous bike was the Speed 400, which I literally dropped off on my way to pick this one up. I cannot wait until I get the miles up to I can really open this guy up!

Got a new plate and light holder and it's too close to my side luggage. On both sides of course.

Yesterday the weather was awful, but the most interesting content comes from the worst weather.

should i buy?

7300CAD for a beautiful XSR, seller suggested 7K is OK. barely ridden, did oil changes every year and changed battery last year, but I'm assuming tires may need changing. there's probably room to negotiate here. what you guys think?

Small adventure to Russian Far East backwoods

525 kilometers through the untamed heart of Primorsky Krai, from Vladivostok to the remote places I once called home. On my XSR700, I traced broken roads across endless forests, mountain passes, and the banks of rivers threading through ancient hills. Nine hours of riding, compressed into 2.5 minutes.

Exhaust systems

I am based in the US looking to get a full system for my ‘25. I was originally set on the Kelpi shorty with quiet core but have read a lot of reviews that even that is ridiculously loud and drones. I have dealt with other toys in the past where there is no middle ground between stock and crazy loud aftermarket exhausts. Any other suggestions out there that isn’t the $1300 akra? I wear ear plugs when riding already but will have a baffle in whatever system I find.

Custom tail tidy

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share my latest project. This is one of several variations for rear lighting placement and fender shape I’ve been experimenting with.
The goal was to delete the bulky OEM light while keeping a factory-level fitment and the original fender's silhouette. A few details still need fine-tuning, but it's getting there.
Rest of the bike is bloody stock for now. Next step: side covers, but I haven’t found anything subjectively interesting yet. What are your solutions for them?
I'm open to suggestions! :)

Do it. Hordpower and tune

What a pain in the ass it is to get the stock air box out but I cannot recommend enough

Totally different bike w the pipe, intake and tune. It absolutely rips, sounds incredibly healthier, throttle isn’t jerky at all anymore deceleration is not slamming on the brakes anymore.

If you have the means to do it, do it.

Wow

New Tires 🫶🏻

Change my infamous MT60RS for the grandiose Scorpion STR. Street performance is excellent, Offroad (tested only light so far) capable and first rain driving was also absolutely fantastic. With the Mutants now my favourite Tire! Love em (and yeah they look freaking awesome too lol)
