Kickstand wasn't quite fully engaged and down she went. Bent shifter. Scuffs on engine, clutch lever, mirror. Twisted forks. Bike rides fine.
My biggest worry though is stress this may have put on this bikes apparently fragile frame. Anyone have 1st or 2nd hand experience with a stationary drop causing the frame to crack?
I've never dropped a bike in 15 years. Dropped this poor thing at 700 miles...
This is dumb, but how do your battery cables run?
When I replaced my battery, I was focusing on the manual too much and the way they show everything oriented that I ended up connecting my battery in reverse and blowing fuses; everything’s fine now. I can’t remember how the OEM battery was hooked up. I was just so confused because the longest cable the red had to travel the least distance in the black. The shortest had to travel the farthest distance on the other side of the battery. Idk I’m retarded
As title says i am looking for a handlebar stabilizer for my 2026 xsr900. I would be grateful for any info.
Did a photo session with my 900 while the cherry blossoms are still blooming. What a gorgeous scene it turned out to be!
Put my bike in a ditch a few hours from home over the weekend. Took it to a nearby friend’s house until I can come get it next weekend. I still have some canyon dancers I used to move my last bike around on a trailer. If I remove the OEM bar end mirrors, can I use the canyon dancers on the handle bars or will that damage the handlebars?
I just finished cleaning my garage to make space for a new XSR900. Checked on insurance, so I guess I'm ready to call some dealers. There are 4 Yamaha dealers within 70 to 120 miles of where I live.
Does anybody have any tips or ideas on how to get a good out-the-door price from these guys? I am grateful that this group is here. Love the posts.
Nearly a 1000 Miles so far and counting. Kelpi seat comes next, as my a** died before reaching the alps already 😂.
I've been wanting to post an update on my bike for awhile but was waiting on the final part.
Finally pulled the trigger on the front fairing and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Kelpi shorty exhaust with vcyclenut tune. Kelpi comfort seat, lane-splitter mirrors, and blindsider bullet indicators.
I went with the Brogue tail tidy, OES frame sliders, Domino MotoGP grips.
Just hit 5000 miles and had a new S23 put on the back on Friday. The dudes at the shop were laughing saying it looks like I fuckin rip this bike like it deserves 😂
I love this bike.
Cheers boys and girls!
Hello I am looking for more info, I love the look of the XSR 900 and the MT09-SP. But I am looking for a bike to use in town and some touring maybe 300 to 400 miles trips. I am 6’3 and fully geared 250lbs. I sat on both bikes on the dealership, the XSR 900 felt a little better position, but I am not sure.
Any suggestions for taller riders? If I lower the pegs, different handlebar, and different seat. Maybe a windshield? Is it doable for some touring on XSR 900? TIA
Second trackday at Donnington Park (GP Circuit)
Such a good bike 🏍💨
Exhaust clearance is an issue though 😅
Been riding a mt09 for the last ten years, racked up 50k on the odometer and decided to treat myself
A lot more upgrades I still have to do, this is what I have done so far,
26 xsr900
Gb racing covers
Asv levers
Domino grips
Yoshi fender kit
Front and rear Yoshi blinkers
Yoshi at2 full system
Vcyclenut tune
Sprint air filter
Tech spec tank grips
Pyramid rear cowl with decals
Evotech radiator guard
Hey everyone,
I’m currently stuck in a massive dilemma and need some perspective from people who’ve spent time with the Yamaha CP3 platform.
I am absolutely in love with the XSR900’s neo-retro aesthetic. To me, it’s one of the best-looking bikes on the market right now—it has that timeless "modern classic" vibe that just stands out. However, the MT-09 SP is constantly in the back of my mind because of the upgraded suspension (Ohlins/KYB) and those sweet Brembo specs.
Give me all the reasons why the XSR900 is the better buy. Help me justify following my heart over the "spec sheet" logic of the SP!
anyone willing to trade gas tank covers? I am looking for some black ones
