20,000 km on mine with 0 issues so far. Love the bike! I do find that the B mode helps with jerky throttle and in traffic. Also just got YSS cartridge kit + rear shock put in as the stock suspension was really rough on poor quality roads at higher speeds, I found. Was thinking of getting another bike, but realized that there is no bike that I really want over this and that switching will not get me a better bike, just a different bike. Xsr900 is awesome!
@giraumoto4 жыл бұрын
I no I said it in the review but I couldn’t understate it the exhaust make the throttle soooooooo much smoother. It’s literally a game changer I was thinking about trading it in for a different bike also. But now that it rides the way it should. I never want to get rid of it. Trust me it makes that much of a difference. Sorry for the late response

Fuel capacity is my only big con and even then only if I'm in the mountains being paranoid. Mike, you wouldn't be disappointed with the 900 at all. The customization possibilities are great and you can make it what you want. It's best suited for the city and trips to the twisties in my opinion. It can do the other things but it shines in the above mentioned. Love mine and can't think of another bike I'd want to ride more.

Well done! Great review. Thank you! This one is growing on me. Went to a dealer for a testride and they gave me the MT-09 saying it was similar. Decided I didn't want one since it was "dancing" all over the road. Crappy suspension. But I've come to realize that the XSR uses the same suspension as the Tracer which is better. Any thoughts on that? Anything to look out for? Some models/years better than others? Cheers mate!
@giraumoto3 жыл бұрын
Hey I heard the XSR suspension is alittle better than the FZ but I don’t think it will be too far off. I never had a problem with it tho I don’t take it too the extremes like on the track. But for back roads and city it’s more than good enough. As far as years I would say 2018 and up so you can get the optional Yamaha quickshifter. 😎. If you have a chance to give it a test ride.

One of the cons for me is on the highway its seems that the xsr900 is to high on the rpms. I thought about regearing but just to drop it down a few 100ths of rpm wasn't worth it. It also felt the twisting throttle but vcycle tun e eliminated it for me.

Hey there, thanks for the long term review and the pointers. I've only been riding for a couple of years but my first bike is the XSR 700. I know a lot of the 700's issues are not carried over to the 900, but how do you go for fuel? The tank is too small on my 700 and I have to fill up twice when we ride through the hills on the weekend which can be a problem when your out in the boonies with no petrol stations close and it's running low. However, small tank aside, as my daily city commuter (Melbourne Australia) it shines. So nimble and torquey I have a permanent smile on my dial. I also feel like this is a bike I'd never sell... But I think I'd happily upgrade it to the 900.
@giraumoto3 жыл бұрын
I believe we have about the same size fuel tank you might actually get better range because you have a smaller engine. But I can squeeze 150miles out my tank but it in AUS i would say keep the 700 and carry spare fuel. I don’t know the look you go for but they have big Roto canisters you can hook to the bike or just a little gas bottle to keep your mind at ease
@douglasalexander43483 жыл бұрын

@@giraumoto I'm worried MA009 wouldn't be as low as I'd like considering it's 2.5cm taller than MA006. Would it still be considerably lower than OEM?

If you wash your bike and spray corrosion inhibitor on it like s 100 you won't have the little issues at you're talking about nuts and bolts I don't think you take care of your bike like you say you do

I use put s100 on every fall before winter, It helps but corrosion still happens if you riding around when it’s wet and salty on the roads.

@@giraumoto Hey, try ACF50 as your anti corrosion treatment, you can literally spray it on everything on your bike ( but make sure to cover your brake callipers and discs and tyres obviously). My XSR is from 2017 , there is not even a hint of rust anywhere , but I have to be honest I don’t use it as hard as you do yours, but I do ride in the winter on salty wet roads...

@@giraumoto very welcome, it’s a lovely bike, in a class of its own really :) Also wanted to mention that treating it once a year with anti corrosion spray won’t be enough if you ride it daily throughout the winter... I spray mine after every 4-5 washes ... ACF50 the big bottle that comes with a little spray bottle will Easily last you a year , maybe a bit longer Not bad for about 50$ ... :)
