r/YamahaXSR155

After installing a more upright handlebar and installing a small vault box, it was time to see how the bike feels on longer ride. So I did Panaji- Amboli -Panaji today. 185 km solo round trip with a saddle bag. Completed in 4.5 hours including one 15 min break and 4 smaller breaks.

The 185km included 32km of ghat section. The route includes good roads, bad roads and hopeless space technology roads with craters. The bike did well with my type of riding.. no sudden accelerations/ no overtaking attempts on high speed vehicles.However the route doesn't allow much of cruising as such, you need to frequently change speed due to traffic and speed breakers.The bike was excellent and nimble in ghat. On the crater filled roads the bike was surprisingly composed except at one place where the crater appeared suddenly. It was stable, no bouncing /no bottoming out, no severe jerks to back.

My point of comparison is my Scrambler 400x. XSR is definitely not as plush as Scrambler but I feel that its suspension is far better than what people keep on complaining online.

It returned fuel efficiency of 52 kmpl with standard E20 petrol, quite decent! I was not tired on completion of the ride (I am used to ride 6 to 8 hours in a day, so this duration was less than what I am used to, so it's not a correct comparison but still I got an idea).

Overall I am happy with the performance so far.

Hii guys finally i have bought my first ever bike .... please tell me what are the accessories should i fit.... plz give me suggestions 🙏🏻

Just completed my first proper monsoon adventure ride with the group, and this one was absolutely worth it.

The trip had pretty much everything:

~700 km total including exploring around Purulia

Long highway stretches

Monsoon rain riding

Mud trails

Off-road sections

Uphill & downhill trails

Water crossings with the bike

Waterfall + a bath 😅

Exploring unknown roads and places

Great food and stay with the group

The XSR 155 performed really well overall. It handled the highway sections and touring comfortably, but the stock road-oriented tyres definitely struggled in the muddy/off-road sections. I had one small slip/fall on a downhill section because of the lack of traction, but thankfully only had a little pain in my right leg and no damage to the bike.

The Solace Rival Urban V3 jacket was great, especially in the rain, although it got pretty hot/sweaty whenever we stopped. My Quechua MH100 shoes handled the initial light rain, but during the heavy rain on the return highway ride they eventually got completely soaked, including my socks.

I also came back with some shoulder pain, so I'm now looking into handlebar risers.

Fuel economy for the trip averaged around 45.27 km/L, with fuel at roughly ₹114/L. For ~700 km, fuel cost was around ₹1,760.

Overall, this was probably my biggest jump in riding experience so far. I've done highway and touring rides before, but this was my first time combining long-distance highway riding + monsoon + mud + water crossings + trails + proper uphill/downhill off-road sections.

The XSR isn't an ADV, and this trip definitely showed me where its limits are — but damn, what a trip. 😂🔥

Already thinking about the next one.

Goa to Chikmagalur, 155 among 450s and 650s, still the bike kept up on non-highways.

Average cruising speed was 90 kmph,

spent a total of 2780rs/24L on fuel,

Avg fuel efficiency 45kmph

Scraped the pegs a few times on the way, about 400km into the ride I got overconfident and the front tire slipped on an inclined wet corner at 60-70kmph (I had it coming)

Thankfully both me and bike didn't get any significant damage.

Rear fender cracked, handlebar bent, levers scraped(didn't snap)

I'm 6ft tall. But I am genuinely inclined towards XSR so much that I can't imagine owning any other and getting happy with that. So please tell me about your experience? And will handle-bar-raiser do the job.

Invited my friend also, he said fuck it we ball.

So I did a 60 km short ride on Sunday

I was feeling down and didn't have any friends

But this was so lit experience for me

Honestly the bike is fucking good at slightly worse non roads

But A adv would be better

And dude it's a eye catcher

XSR 155 owners, please help me out. I really like the looks of this bike and I’m seriously considering it.
For those who actually own and ride the XSR 155, what real-world mileage do you get in city traffic?
I’m looking for genuine city mileage figures rather than the claimed mileage.

People who own yamaha xsr 155 please comment which color you owns and why? Please post your best of your bike in this post, actually i decided to buy it and i confused about the color which color is good of xsr ?
