Best Mods Yamaha XSR900 at RevZilla.com

[@zfontes]

Their videos are absolutely incredible, I found the bike I've been searching for and I love how they're unbiased. They recommend parts they don't sell and go the extra step on making bikes look good. Keep up the good work guys you got a sub!

[@chrismanners2036]

For a grand One could 1. Fender eliminator kit 2. Slip on exhaust 3. LED turn signals 4. Stainless braided lines for front brakes. 5. Bigger LED front light. But I would: 1: Tune suspension for my weight and aggressive riding style. 2: Better brake fluid and braided lines.

[@kriskaylor6679]

I took your advice and bought the seat cowl from my dealer, wow improved the look of the whole bike totally worth the $500

[@bxl1121]

Bar end mirrors and exhaust would be nice.

[@zacharyperez8457]

Geo Rider I threw some bar ends on. If your riding in anything heavier than light traffic. Suicide. I switched back immediately.

[@gijoe5508]

Inverted mirrors under the bar could be nice too, this is only good for highway anyway, everybody moves his eyes on a motorcycle.

[@0316asdfjkl]

@@gijoe5508 yeah, who the hell even uses mirrors. Theyre only there to pass inspection...

[@padraigomadain6681]

If you go fast enough you don't need mirrors. And get rid of the orange lens for the indicators. Or flashers if you yank.

[@atadbitnefarious1387]

I actually saw Lemmy the other day doing a video shoot. I didnt know that they do their filming right in their shop in the Philly Shipyard. If you are ever in Philadelphia, the Revzilla shop is a place id recommend to visit. Pretty much everyone who works there rides to work and are super friendly and helpful.

[@GrubbShowMedia]

$1000!!! For 5 items? That is just mind blowing.

[@RaulGerardoHuertasPaiva]

and half of that for the just-decoration item O_O

[@pujabelgian]

Aftermarket is a billion $ industry built on a professionally designed bike redesigned by capricious amateurs!

[@boomerhgt]

Carol Bucholtz ha ha

[@Banditmanuk]

The best mod I've had done is the Velocity-moto body kit that makes the bike look like the 80s RD350LC.

[@OldManJohnnyFish]

I am surprised a steering dampner wasn't brought up. I myself own a FJ-09 2016 and the front end gets light under acceleration and is generally wobblie. I installed a dampener, and the bike transformed to a planted stable hooligan bike. I've test rode the XSR and I do recall the suspension being much stiffer than the FJ, but still a dampener makes a better upgrade than a seat cowl

[@stevel6939]

I have an xsr 900 and installed a steering dampner. I also changed all the suspension and lowered it. Like its on raiks now.

[@truantray]

The mod this bike really needs is a bigger headlight. The stock one just looks too small. That fuel bottle thing is ridiculous.

[@Ashokgadeking]

okleydokley A double headlight setup would not look bad either.

[@marknasia5293]

okleydokley i was looking at the mod to give the XSR900 a standard 7” LED headlight and it comes close to 1,000$ which it in itself is also ridiculous. So i basically look at all the mods i can do for a bike before i purchase one. This bike tops the scale for things i need to mod to fully enjoy the bike the most ridiculous being the rear tail light that looks like something so cheap and easily damaged. Locally the fishermen have 5$ headlamps that look like the rear tail light. There aren’t really many mods for the rear tail lamp, Abarth did the best at trying to conceal it, but everything else looks equally as cheap. The staggered fuel tank, staggered gauge just tells me that Yamaha for some reason did this. “Let’s create a bike, with a concept of convincing buyers to accept a 3 cylinder, and to make it even more of a difficult sale, let’s make the head light, tail light and fuel cap placement so off, that someone would really have to enjoy the 3 cylinder to enjoy it, or just go with a 4 cylinder different brand z900RS comes to mind

[@boomerhgt]

Ashok teja A double headlight would look hideous

[@Howard901]

Damn Lemmy, you are such a badass. Good for you, brother.

[@LucasBoyden]

No fender eliminator or exhaust? Good video.

[@Enonymouse_]

I was hoping you'd show the cam chain tensioner install ;)

[@myname9252]

Man that’s a good looking color scheme on that .

[@nickkapetanakis5446]

That tail cowl sure is nice, but for $500, I'm going with stainless break lines, adjustable levers and engine protection way before Yamaha ever got that kind of money. I'd love to here it with a Yoshi pipe. Maybe XSR900 Mod part 2?

[@nickkapetanakis5446]

I would be more interested in the sound anyway, probably not worth it for any other reason. I have ridden it and I kept wanting to place my right foot on the exhaust pipe and not that safety guard that they have there. I thought the bike was brilliant bone stock. Thing just takes off when you want it to and the fueling was way better than the fz09. Which, may need a refresh now. Thanks for the reply!

[@truantray]

$500 is ridiculous for a piece of stamped aluminum. Yamaha is acting like BMW with the R9T. What this bike needs is better tires, better brake lines and pads, and for most people, stiffer front springs. Important stuff, not exhaust or tail tidy.

[@spacemarine8289]

Frame Sliders, Blinkers, Mirrors, & Exhaust Pipe. What I would never put on this bike is a Sissy Bar, oh and a Fuel Bottle.

[@XSR95]

After owning one for 3 years/25k miles for commuting, best mods: Radiator guard LED headlight Swingarm sliders Rubber insert pegs Crashbars/sliders Bar end mirrors LED turn signals Intake box mod/high flow air filter (went with K&N but wish I went with DNA) Exhaust (full Lextek, but cut/slip on option are available) Tail bag Fender eliminator (went with Yoshimura but would rather go with non-cut version) Horn under tank Luimoto tank pads S21 (deep tread rear:5485) Maxima 10w fork oil

[@RiderXp]

That’s a good list! Thank you.

[@eastbaymauiboy]

I have the 60th anniv XSR900 and there are only two things in your mods list that are interesting to me...the frame sliders and tensioner. Really?, no exhaust, new signals, fender eliminator, grips, fork and swingarm sliders, bar end mirrors or levers and you pay how much?. You guys are great but I think this is a weak mods list

[@grren1782]

Bar end mirrors are the ugliest and most useless modification known to man. Also fender eliminators just get your bike dirtier

[@gosoku2771]

Have you had any issues with the automatic cam chain tensioner? Thanks

[@threethrushes]

Thank you Lemmy and Revzilla! The video I was looking for...

[@TheOzTurkish]

I was sold on this bike for so long, until I got an MT 09 (FZ 09 in the USA) for $9500 with 12000kms on the clock instead of $14000 for an XSR 900..... couldn't pass that up, Still love the XSR though, I would CAFE racer the shit out of it, clubmans, single seat conversion, bar end mirrors, shorty leavers. love it

[@truantray]

The FZ09 has serious suspension and brake issues that would take thousands to correct.

[@TheOzTurkish]

+okleydokley Springs and emulator kit is $500, rear shock $1000, braided lines $500 so $2000 all up, $11000 vs $14000, still ahead

[@TheOzTurkish]

+okleydokley plus the xsr has the same brakes

[@ThomasRSmith-og7zo]

TheOzTurkish I believe the FZ 09 does not have ABS or a Slipper Clutch. I can get a new FZ 09 for 7199 usd or a 2016 XSR for 7499. I think it's worth the 300 difference

[@josiahbaumgartner7643]

Thomas R. Smith Late reply so you've likely got your situation a figured out already but the 2017 fz09 has abs and tcs

[@wayneburton440]

gorgeous bike, nice review.

[@GarmiOffgrid]

Rear fender elimination and non-fugly blinkers?

[@matttupper2581]

Hey Lemmy! Thanks for the videos on the XSR900. You inspired me to buy one today. Do you think my 2018 XSR900 will have tensioner issues, or is it likely sorted by the '18 model? Thanks man!

[@RevZilla]

Nothing has changed on the design of the cam chain tensioner, so you still might want to install the manual tensioner. -DrewZilla

[@TwoWheelsFreeHeels]

I'm considering getting one of these Yamaha triples…would you do the manual cam chain tensioner right away? Doesn't putting that on void the warranty? Why not wait until the warranty expires? Love the videos, keep up the good work!

[@TwoWheelsFreeHeels]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@roybatty-]

If something goes wrong, just reinstall the stock part and claim your warranty.

[@boomerhgt]

Roy Batty or don't fit that in the first place it's garbage

[@tripeee58]

I love it! "Detritus Crap!" Them some fancy word you slinging around, Lemmy. Sounds like a Charles Dickens character related to Uriah Heep. Detritus - def:1 geology : loose material (such as rock fragments or organic particles) that results directly from disintegration. Keep up the GR8 work. I'm scheming on how I can get my hands on one of these XRS900s!

[@unclewillie9491]

Like most, he mispronounced the word. It’s “di- TRIT- is”. The accent is on the second syllable. I also thought the mods were pretty weak for $1000.

[@nazhif1]

First I'd do is change those hideous turn indicators

[@truantray]

yes, get tiny little ones with really dim little LEDs, so cool.

[@AdamOmidpanah]

If you buy $20 indicators, you deserve what you pay for. LEDs can also be many lumens brighter than the factory bulbs, and those save your ass. Lightech would look great on the XSR.

[@redline2066]

I guess you’re one of those chaps with no design/class sense and probably love those smaller, white pieces of led crap as opposed to old school, classy orange ones. lol

[@gregsheffey5191]

Thats on my list too for sure

[@boomerhgt]

okleydokley ha ha

[@rteel3]

Great video, thanks. There is one major problem that is keeping me from buying this bike, and that is the shape of that darn tank and where its ridge hits the interior of my legs. It does not fit me or any of my friends and I noticed during the XSR review video, the tank edge is hitting you guys in the same spot. Please, please, please tell me they are going to make a new tank, or that there is an after market tank that maybe holds more and better contours to your legs. I can't imagine holding on to the tank with my thighs for more than 10 minutes without it being uncomfortable.

[@RevZilla]

As far as we know, the tank is not changing nor is there an aftermarket tank with a different shape. -DrewZilla

[@InvictvsNox]

Give it time. I'm sure something will come around with that many people noticing it.

[@threethrushes]

rteel3 Is this a real issue?

[@techfreak111]

I'm sorry, but ever since I saw this dude take a fall on the track I cannot watch his videos without laughing.

[@rpiereck74]

Add the Denali M5 DOT LED headlight to this bike... better lighting and it will look sick!

[@nexorabolis]

What kind of maintenance would be included with a manual cam chain tensioner? I mean... how would you even know if it's tight or loose? Just by sound?

[@timtravasos2742]

Jonathan Sporrong, that's a good question.

[@JasonYergin]

Yeah, and a very uncomplicated answer. I'm glad somebody asked it

[@boomerhgt]

Don't fuck with it would be my advice

[@rubo1964]

Hi lemmy you just rock! APE CCT as far as I know install requires taking the top engine cover off and aligning the cylinders etc.From what I got from your video you just screwed in without engine top end open? Please expend on this more thank you

[@huangdi6068]

Nice video man Thanks for the upload!!! New subscriber here!!!

[@knasbror9820]

Hi I want a fz-09 but I'm not old enough in my country. But I'm starting to think about witch mods I wanna get. So it would be awesome if you cud do a video about it.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

My Yam FZ-07 has a fuel count down . It goes on to reseve there is supposed to be .7 gallons less.. it counts how many miles you have ridden since you went on reserve.. Supposed to hold 3.7 gallons seems I never added more than 2 or 2.6 gallons even if I rode 30 miles on reserve . If you read the Owners manual you would know it and understand it ..

[@sk8er39212]

Hey Lemmy does the Yamaha fz07 have the same cam chain tensioner issue?

[@stevemulcahy5014]

No s/s brake lines? That was one of your complaints, or was it just a case of splitting hairs and they aren't that bad?

[@artrendon6101]

I KNOW the vid is about 2 years old, but damn. . .I'm still on the fence. At the moment I'm deciding between $6999.99 for new '17 XSR9, or $7499.99 for new '16 CB1000R? Like the styling of both, but don't like installing cam chain tensioner from the gate (seems like R&D shoulda had that sorted). And the factory cowl, which I love, just a few hairs under $500.00 (there goes the price difference). Any thoughts/opinions?

[@RevZilla]

Ride both if you can and see which feels better to you. As for reliability, Honda likely has the edge. -DrewZilla

[@chaostade4087]

is that tentioner problem exists in fz-07s also? cause i hear that "clicking" you said.

[@ThinBiker17]

I wish you guys did a parts upgrade video for the 2016 Triumph Street Twin too! I really can't figure what I should start off with

[@ThinBiker17]

+ZLA Lemmy I agree! It really is superb in terms of a stock bike, and that exhaust! I just find the seat incredibly stiff, with very limited padding. And considering I ride a Duke 390, which already has a super hard seat, I really want to know how to go about it. Opinion is divided on going for a gel insert or just adding foam, but you guys would be better suited to advice. Also, staying in a potholed country like India, I really could do with a raised suspension and with some more travel. What are your thoughts?

[@wippy748s]

dont you dare encourage them to mod(ruin) a triumph !!

[@jonathan6935]

it had a center stand? nice bike other bike under 900cc doesnt have

[@crypto_que]

Lemmy how tall are you? I sat on this bike at a dealer and I absolutely love the bar positioning but the pegs are a little high. Are there aftermarket seat or rear sets? This bike is an unbelievable value, as a second bike, or commuter the price is phenomenal and I almost bought it. as for the comments below especially regarding the rear cowl...it is to die for so if it costs 300-500 I would have bought it, some bikes really just need to cover the passenger seat.

[@onyekaonyia8395]

Lemmy quick couple of questions for you. I've been looking at the SC project exhaust for this bike. I'd really like to get it, but reviews of SCP exhausts on other bikes suggest that they're obnoxiously noisy. What's your take on them? Also, I see Yamaha have started listing ohlins suspension upgrades as official accessories. I'm 6ft2 and about 280 pounds all geared up and I've always found the rear suspender on the xsr leaves a bit to be desired. Do you think it's worth upgrading to the ohlins?

[@onyekaonyia8395]

Well I'm primarily using the bike as my daily commuter as well as for weekend trips. The roads around me aren't the best and with the XSR I'm beginning to notice just how bad they are. I'm no racer, so I worry that the upgrade might bring no noticeable improvement for my usage/style of riding... basically I might be flushing good money down the drain

[@crypto_que]

Onyeka, if I may at your height investing in a suspension upgrade will be worth every penny maybe not now but over time. Especially if you notice any sag or give (or lack of rebound) in your suspension or bumps become extra brutal then please do your self a favor and start setting aside money for an upgrade. With a little research there may be hybrid setups (Frankenstein/Donor) from FZ-09 that others have used. Lastly it is your passion or maybe your only mode of transportation (mine was) as long as your responsibilities are taken care of... spend the money.

[@ReplayMediaVideo]

Hey Lemmy on the fz09 forum the CCT install instructions are much more involved and include removing the right side of the case. Looks like you just unbolted the OEM, installed the APE and adjusted. Is that all I need to do? Thanks!

[@clubtc05]

I want to know this as well. I just got the XSR and this is one of the first mods I want to do.

[@ReplayMediaVideo]

+clubtc05 I've been breaking mine in pretty hard and am getting zero noise from the CCT area. At 800miles right now. My plan is to have the APE manual on hand so if I start hearing noise I'll swap but I wouldn't be too worried about it. I haven't seen any cases of this issue on XSRs yet. Still just FZs and FJs. How do you like your bike so far?

[@clubtc05]

O okay, I dont think I will do the APE then because I really don't push my XSR that hard, that might change in the future. I love it so far, everyone always talked about the triple but I never road a motorcycle with it and it's an amazing engine.

[@RevZilla]

All Lemmy did was remove the OEM, install the APE, and adjusted. The only trick was adjusting it to its max to clear the frame then running it back out to bolt up the housing. -DrewZilla

[@ReplayMediaVideo]

+RevZilla awesome thanks for getting back to me!! Don't know why so many people are going through through the extra effort of removing the case.

[@markpeter107]

I find the seat to be uncomfortable...any mod suggestions? Are there gel pads that would work that have been well reviewed?

[@RevZilla]

Adding an Airhawk seat pad can help. Others like Corbin and Sargent seats. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/airhawk-dual-sport-seat-pad

[@chippyjohn1]

$500 for a seat cowling, why isn't it a detachable fuel tank for that price, the drink bottle fuel tank you put on the bars is just silly

[@UncleDon226]

I'd buy one for $500. Get a patent and production on that and you will make money hand over fist.

[@Teachering]

[@RyanMcIntyre]

Yo lemmy, this question may look silly, but could you tell me what's the model name of the workbench you're sitting on at the beginning of the video? I need something just like that and it looks pretty sturdy.

[@RevZilla]

It's from Global Industrial. We don't have the specific model name, but you can probably find it on their site. It appears to be the 60x30 Maple Butcher Block Square Edge Work Bench. -DrewZilla

[@peterwakefield915]

[@wadechen2003]

will the center stand affect the lean angle very much ?

[@csiautodetail]

I just got this bike and I love it so far, one of the mods I definitely want to do is the manual cam tensioner, I found a couple of videos but they are not the best at explaining the process. Could you please guys make video on how properly do this please. Thanks

[@TD402dd]

Maybe a front fender extender to reduce filth and spray to the engine are and help stop pebbles being tossed back

[@norm6645]

@revzilla drew do you know anyone who makes a decent front cowl that would look good on the 2017 blue xsr900? going for the cafe racer ish look with clubman bars

[@RevZilla]

Well Yamaha is making the XSR900 Abarth Limited Edition, which has a seat cowl, front cowl, and clip-ons. You might be able to get that front cowl as an official accessory from Yamaha. If not, though, you'd need to use a universal cowl and mock up the mounts yourself. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/maier-gp-sport-fairing *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/emgo-universal-viper-retro-cafe-fairing

[@truantray]

Everybody wants a loud bike and spends a fortune to do it. The real upgrade on most bikes few people do is quality tires.

[@onyekaonyia8395]

It's not so much the volume (though it's nice to have a louder sound) but also the quality of the sound. For reference compare the stock sound of the Thruxton R (or the RnineT) to that of the XSR900. The XSR for all its abilities doesn't sound quite as nice. Regarding the tyres, the Bridgestone Battleaxe S20s that come as standard (in my opinion) are more than adequate for road use.

[@pat4145]

[@umaxen0048]

The only thing that has kept me from buying this bike is the ridiculously high seat height. I'm sure Yamaha has listened to this complaint 10,000 times and hopefully they correct this problem. Not only does it make this otherwise beautiful bike look foolish, it also keeps shorter riders from considering the bike...

Apparently Yamaha can make it look like the old one... for 20% extra on top of the hefty $14k ($16.8k total). I can't believe it was $9.5k in 2016. And they're surprised sale numbers dropped half way through this year.

how much of this can I put on my fz09?

[@RevZilla]

The frame sliders and center stand will fit 2014-2016 FZ-09s. The radiator guard will fit 2014-2017 models. You can also carry the spare fuel on an FZ-09. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/shogun-frame-sliders-yamaha-fz-09-fj-09-xsr900 *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sw-motech-centerstand-yamaha-fz-09-xsr900 *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rg-racing-radiator-guard-yamaha-fz-09-fj-09-xsr900 *www.revzilla.com/yamaha-xsr900-parts-upgrades

Hahahahhahhaahha beard level of difficulty!!! omg that's awesome probably savage

[@romeoscrying2048]

That tail cow is hideous and doesn't fit the lines of the bike. I am surprised it's a Yamaha Genuine part.

[@boomerhgt]

Agree it's ugly

[@hansenj2196]

Get a full exhaust

[@anlkaya]

ZLA Lemmy I've got the official bar end mirrors on my xsr900 and they don't stop me from splitting. And yes, the stock mirrors are absolutely rubbish (if you're as broad shouldered as I am).

[@wippy748s]

what you have actually done is ruin it ! hideous radiator guard , rancid rear cowling and a centre stand !!!! the first thing I would do is remove the shocking standard led rear light, I hope this isnt a common thing in america as its the most tasteless list of mods i think i have ever seen !!

The sandwich and beer as a prop seems so ungenuine and corny. Exactly the opposite of what the producers were going for

[@Msalazar6sicVI]

what a waste of a sandwich :(

Revzilla: promoting alcohol consumption in dozens of videos. Mix that with motorcycle riding.

[@threethrushes]

01:20 Anyone watching this video in the Arab world, will think that the only people who can ride this bike are mullahs.

[@phoenixrisen6935]

Thats some shitty mods right there

Such a high voice for a big guy. It’s distracting. Reminds me of Steven Crowder. I’m guessing his real talking voice isn’t that pitchy.
