What I dislike about my 2022 Yamaha XSR900

[@williamfoster4268]

If the screen had a rigid mount the vibrations from riding would eventually damage it.

[@Steelfl3x]

ahh i see thanks for the input man!

[@rayrayrun]

same thing applies to the rear light

[@cen121]

i buy this bike a month ago. what i dont like ist the comfort of the seat and the quickshifter, if you put up quick from 5 to 6 gear. sometimes the clutch go in neutral, the engine revs up and then the clutch go in a hard way in to the 6...

[@Steelfl3x]

I agree on that man! My quickshifter going from first to second is so rough and not smooth at all

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

How can get to N from anything but 1st or 2nd?

[@andreaangelino4068]

In italy all bikers drive like this,is not just common it´s normal: if you want to stuck in traffic you buy a car. in add to that bikers rides always focused ,always. anyway,it is the latest model? thanx for the video

[@Steelfl3x]

Hoping to visit Italy soon! And no problem man glad you enjoyed the video!

[@tactical1224]

What seat did you go with for the bike? How's the bike treating you today, a year later? Thanks

[@Steelfl3x]

It’s great tbh wouldn’t sell it unless a XSR1000 came out and the seat is from Kelpi custom moto!

[@tactical1224]

@@Steelfl3x Awesome! How is the comfort level of the Kelpi seat? I appreciate your insight

[@papabear241983]

Lane split all you want… but what you were doing was reckless driving. You are the type of rider that ends up in a hospital bed all mangled and permanently alter your ability to live… people have the right to make bad choices though…

[@Steelfl3x]

HAHAHAHAHAH ty

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

Why no built in tpms, engine temps. Bmw has this 8 yrs ago on all bikes

[@thewatchmenpodcast3289]

Agreed!!

[@thewatchmenpodcast3289]

I’m guess you need a screen like a Tesla, right??

[@thewatchmenpodcast3289]

No your problem is you still live with daddy. You are a kid. Be careful or you’ll never mature.

[@thereport4896]

Everyone dies but not everyone lives. Most surviving in fear all about be safe.By the way appreciate the critique of the bike.

[@Steelfl3x]

Thank you!

[@7mag]

Thanks, good vid. What 'bars are they?

[@Steelfl3x]

Stock! Just flipped the mirrors around

[@tmgasia]

It would be nice if you could buy direct upgrades for the Screen from Yamaha, I'm sure they can just make a bigger screen and sell it as an upgrade, and yeah... I'd really like to see more seat options, I kinda liked the old seat actually. Strangely I'm kinda ok with the exhaust, but I Really REALLY don't get the tail...

[@Steelfl3x]

I’m okay with the exhaust too man that’s why I still haven’t changed it! And plus they too damn expensive anyway lol

[@tmgasia]

@@Steelfl3x I agree... don't understand why, it's literally just another pipe... lol

[@c.g.c2067]

Rizoma just came out with an amazing seat tailord for the 2023 xsr900. I'm considering switching from stock to Rizoma.

[@Steelfl3x]

I needa check that out rizoma got boujie stuff

[@Bishophp]

The bikers in my country also don't like the seats of this bike, so they think it's really ugly, unlike the old version, at first I thought that too but then when I saw the bike in real life I found it real greatness

[@Steelfl3x]

It really isnt that bad...I think it really ties the bike together nicely

[@zenmen5303]

Aye bro, just bought the legend blue myself waiting for it to be delivered to the dealer! I recognize the area and a buddy of mine and I live around there and we’ve been looking for some people to ride with. Would you be down to link up sometime with us and ride?

[@Steelfl3x]

Heck yeah man! my bike is currently in the shop rn but once i get it back couple buddies of mine wanted to go out as well! you in nova?

[@zenmen5303]

Yeah, we live around the Fairfax/ Oakton area

[@Steelfl3x]

Oh bet buncha of my coworkers go to cars and coffee up in sterling on sundays

[@raisingcane225]

Look at the Dart Flyscreens Marlin windshield for the XSR900. Looks great IMHO and is functional as far as wind deflection. I have some comments about it in my mods summary video.

[@Steelfl3x]

I will check that out thank you! Seen your videos before! Keep it up boss!

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

i guess they wanted a sport, good spec bike vs. the tracer 9gt with great seat, 2 up riding but its hi, heavy. it could be perfect with a tracer like seat setup.

[@admireinspire]

I'd be fine with the dash if it didn't scratch so easily. My protector had lil bubbles then one day last month the whole thing bubbled off and I had to take it off. Shit is so swirled

[@Steelfl3x]

Yeah man too lazy to redo mine just leaving it there lol not gonna bother it anymore

[@markhall3434]

Dude.. You are nit pickey!! 2023 Blue/Gold here. How about a wow on the quick shifter, and engine? Best looking bike out there IMO. Brakes: cheap pads need replacement, and a front stainless brake line. Seat Maybe.. but OK for me. The Dash is Great.. perfect size. My car has Two 12"displays.. A Tesla is like 17"? If not this bike, which one do you think is better? I like a few mods to personalize things.

[@nmr0d234]

What a beautiful bike👍

[@Steelfl3x]

Ty boss!

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

strange i don't see reveiws of this vs. tiger 850 sport or 750gs. but i can list the specs to see how low the 750gs is. tiger lacking in extras. bmw too hi and top heavy for me. at 222 kg. tiger at less than 200 keeps if perfect, for oldsters- imo .

[@admireinspire]

The vb wrx grew on me. I saw one in person after not liking them online and I fan girled pretty hard. The new engines are making some pretty crazy numbers mod for mod compared to the non direct injected ej25. Ej25 can get to around 1100 but I think these are gonna do 1300. But the rear bumpers look lame and I wouldn't buy a car with plastic wheel wells but you can paint then or get paint matched pieces that stick on. I won't buy one but they are pretty good for the average value oriented guy that wants a manual. My opinion anyway, lots of people agree with you even in subarus lol

[@Steelfl3x]

Yeah my boi started to like it after he saw a nicely modded one and I do like the front it’s just the back with all the plastic reminds me of my wrangler lol with the plastic fenders sticking out

[@dekkkkay]

aerodynamics has a vb wrx with paint matched wheel wells forsure make the car look better. I used to have a 19 sti and im starting to like the look of the vb over my old sti. still hate the civic tail lights tho

[@Steelfl3x]

^thats my bois that blew up his STI lol

[@admireinspire]

@@dekkkkay I blew up one when I tightened my oil filter with a pipe wrench. No oil = no engine lol and I did my current build to 760 wheel and the day I got it home I used some old ethanol and blew the whole block to pieces. Other than those times when I really fucked up I've been really lucky.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

putting a 3. 5" tft on the gp models tells you ; they screwed up with a small tft. !! Looks at all on a 7" tft. I can't gett all the data that my analog has !

Lane splitting & filtering has been proven to be safer for motorcyclists. All these crybabies are just mad their wives run their lives & they can’t get a bike lmao nice rips brodie. Really hoping they drop an r9 here soon. Stay safe out there

[@Steelfl3x]

Thanks bro I don’t pay attention to them lol

[@GregUhrlass]

My question is as a new rider around the NYC area where drivers tend to go very fast when traffic opens up I do see most riders doing this yet for now at only 400mi. I feel a little nervous to try this. Also my wife wants me to sell my bike and will never ride with me she said, at least for now. She is very mad I bought a bike without asking her first. I think if I asked she would have said no way. She thinks it’s frivolous and wants to spend the money on travel.

[@Steelfl3x]

@@GregUhrlass ride your ride man you will get more comfortable the more miles you put on and tbh all our S/O will always have a problem with it had to sell my last bike for my girl but now I am back on it just takes time man!

[@RPDXC]

Just fyi, when they said lane splitting is safer, they mean when traffic is going 20mph or less. Lane splitting at 80mph+ isnt what they meant, lol.

You are driving stupidly dangerous, yes there people that are more stupid that's basically always the case. Plenty of people ride faster and do it saver. Your defensive riding and awareness is ass you trust other drivers on the road way to Mutch. Also doesn't seem like you're actually decent at riding a motorcycle, maybe do a track day with a trainer. Also if you can't see the screen stop riding get glasses first. 😂@@Steelfl3x

Only himself if anyone. Get it right.

@@thereport4896 eh no there plenty of story of bikers killing family's stop spreading this bullshit. Be enough of a man that if you do something dum don't do it near normal traffic so you don't kill someone's parent's,kids or other loved ones. Not thinking about it and Acting like we bikers don't have to responsable is real pussy thing to do.
