Yamaha XSR700 list of mods (links in description)

[@reachadi1029]

This isn't a list of mods- this is art! Well done brother.

[@JJackMoto]

Thank you!! It really is such a cool bike to mod. Thanks for watching!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MACHINE

[@JJackMoto]

Mario Dominguez Thank you!

[@Theoderic]

Best XSR700 I’ve ever seen. Greetings from Turkey.

[@JJackMoto]

Theoderic Wow! Thanks! Keep an eye out for more vids. Should have some time to do more in the next few weeks.

[@Theoderic]

@@JJackMoto I will wait! It would be great to take a little ride with this motorcycle.

[@Nemean320]

just here to complement the white lettering on the tires, one of the things that got my eye from the first time I laid eyes on the bike on Instagram, it stands out so nicely with all the black around it. Great work!

[@JJackMoto]

Thank you!! Wasn't too sure about it at first, but I think it's a really cool look. Thanks for watching!

[@manny75586]

Those turn signals are WAY better than the OEM floppy alien eyes. I like the replacement headlight from brough motorcycle. It’s about 1/4 the thickness and LED. I think it’s like $200 for the whole thing. Nice looking bike!

[@GreenDovesIRL]

Man I'd recommend cable ties to your loose wires around the handle bars, It just cleans it up so much.

[@rustygordon9202]

Just picked mine up today!

[@GoatyHerps]

That fender elimination is fucking flawless.

[@gethigh961]

I think you forgot to mention that you took of the passenger foot pedals. I think it‘s a great mod since it makes the rear/subframe look so open and clean.

[@rockintigger]

Back over here (UK) we wouldn’t get away with a number plate tucked under there. As for mods, I spent my hard earned on upgrading my suspension, fully adjustable K-Tech front a rear, it transformed the bike to a new level of handling. Still got mine 4 years on 💪😎

[@johnumarov3770]

Sweet bike man! how did you spray paint the side silver grill. Did you take the fairing off or just duct taped around it? Also do you have a light for the license plate?

[@JJackMoto]

Thank you! Yes, I just took that small panel off, taped off the outside, sprayed the grill. The plate kit does come with a light. Can't see it very well during the day, but it's there.

[@johnumarov3770]

@@JJackMoto I think I will paint it the same! Mine is the same spec as yours. The previous owner already installed the exact tail tidy like yours, but he didnt install the LP light (mine is tucked in like yours too). Now I am researching around how to fix it and avoid the cops! haha

[@brandonb3551]

Would you be able to do a more in depth video on the handle bar situation? I just bought the same bars from your link. I’d like to get some bar end mirrors too, but I’m having a hard time figuring out what will fit with those bars. Thanks!

Hi JJack, can you tell me what make/model of paddock stand you're using please and also confirm that you're not using bobbins? Many thanks.

[@JJackMoto]

Hello Pete. The stand is just a Cycle Gear store brand stand, works really well. No bobbins, it’s a swing arm type stand. Thanks for watching!

[@petemcnulty2437]

@@JJackMoto thanks for the prompt response :)

[@John-pe7ru]

Can you send me handle bar size please

[@JJackMoto]

Carmichael Bend www.protaper.com/product/32/contour-handlebars/black

[@StreetRodAZ]

Just got the carmichael bars. any mods you had to make or was it a pretty straight forward swap? thx

[@JJackMoto]

StreetRodAZ Awesome! Very straightforward install. The only thing you might need to do is to snip off the little nubs that hold the throttle cable box together, as well as the and ignition switch box. You’ll see what I mean. Just trim those off and you’re good to go.

[@StreetRodAZ]

@@JJackMoto Awesome. Thx brother.

[@Flapjanus]

Hey Jack, was the handlebar a staight fit install? I read somewhere that the controls have some notches to fit in some holes in the stock bar. Thanks!

[@JJackMoto]

Hello! That is correct. The stock controls have small nubs that fit into holes on the factory bars. I just clipped off the nubs, never had a problem. You can run a small strip of duct tape under the controls for more grip, but not necessary. Thanks for watching!

[@slomorenga]

you should change the tires next. The bike feels much better with road attack 3 or something similar.

[@JJackMoto]

Slow Mo That’s the plan for next Spring!

[@nathenchurney5015]

Good luck bike! Just picked up the tucked New Rage LED Fender Eliminator kit. Cannot wait to install. Do have a question on where exactly you place the rear paddock stand on the swing arm? Thank you!

[@JJackMoto]

Nice! You'll love it. With this paddock stand, the little pads go right in front of the rear axle. Thanks for watching!

[@tildadoderayas]

Very nice bike. I have the Forest Green model and I'm thinking on doing some of the things you did (removing passenger pegs, LED bulbs for headlamp and indicators) Which LED bulbs did you go for? The H4 fanless with 4,000 lumens? If so, are the internal drivers necessary? Thanks!

[@JJackMoto]

Mariano Thanks for watching, and thanks for the compliment! It’s been a blast making this bike my own. It think the link in the description will take you to the bulb, if not, the model number is H4-HLV4-M: Cool White. I already had the led relay installed when I switched to led signals, so no issues there. Thanks again!

[@BERTalert7]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@JJackMoto]

I appreciate that! It was a great little bike, had a blast with the design. Thanks for watching!

[@22whitbread]

Mint bike bro just ordered my 2023 model just wonder if you used a speedo relocator for this build?

[@xcorrupt1274]

Did you have to do any drilling with the handlebars? Currently looking at purchasing new ones and wanted to go with these but wasn’t sure if drilling was required

[@JJackMoto]

Thanks for watching! No drilling or modding at all. The small nubs that hold the throttle box and brake master cylinder box onto the bars can be snipped off so that they fit flush. Some people will drill small holes to accommodate those, but not necessary.

[@natekoffel3467]

Looks great, how bright is that tail light at night, does it look nice?

[@JJackMoto]

Thanks! It looks awesome at night. Run/Brake/turn signals are all very bright. I'll try to make a night ride video to show the tail, as well as the LED headlight.

[@chowmeinpapi]

Super slick. Did you cut off any width from the pro taper bar?

[@JJackMoto]

Thank you! No cutting at all. The width is one of the main selling points for the ProTaper in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

[@chowmeinpapi]

JJackMoto awesome. My bar just arrived. Going to install this weekend hopefully. Btw, what type of paint would you recommend for the radiator side guards?

[@JJackMoto]

chowmeinpapi that’s awesome. You’ll love these bars. My go-to paint is Rustoleum spray in gloss black.

[@chowmeinpapi]

JJackMoto appreciate the tips! And excuse the 21 questions. But did you notice increased vibration after mounting the pro taper bar and removing the bar ends? I have similar amazon mirrors but circular. I’m noticing much more vibration with the new bar. And i can’t find any heavy bar ends that would fit the 13mm inner diameter. Our stock ones weighed about 5.3oz each.

[@chowmeinpapi]

JJackMoto but I’m digging the new bar nonetheless!

[@JT-dt4lq]

Hey man Im in TN as well - Im really looking into getting this bike. Thanks for the info.

[@covolt882]

How do the stock mirrors come off?

[@JJackMoto]

Incredibly easy. They just unscrew form the factory threads. Thanks for watching!

[@czechdamuppet]

Hey bud did you get a tune after the exhaust? If so was it a dyno tune or a ECU flash?

[@JJackMoto]

Hello Greg, sorry for the late reply. I actually just use a ECU modifier called Booster Plug. Check out my install vid on that piece. Thanks for watching!

[@ArifKhan.]

I just got the same bike yesterday!! Super excited. I want to paint (or wrap) the fender black. So curious as to what kind of pain you used to paint some of the pieces.

[@dcrash138]

Love it ! Great Mods. Im thinking about switching from my 15 Fz07 to this one in silver .

[@JJackMoto]

Danny Crash thanks man!! That FZ is a great bike as well. Go for it! The silver is a great color on this bike for sure. Thanks for watching!!

[@chrisskinner636]

Hey @jjackmoto, is there an instruction guide for the nrc fender kit? Mine arrived but has no instructions, cant find a video on it either.

[@xGrampel]

Does the radiator guard has any negative impact on the cooling of the engine?

[@JJackMoto]

Hello Sir! Not at all. It is a high quality mesh build, so no air restriction whatsoever.

[@rickard3897]

That tail looks awesome! Thinkin about placing an order for that same taillight kit for my XSR! Is their a light for the licenseplate?

[@JJackMoto]

Thanks! There is. It’s very good quality as well.

[@RamboRob]

Mt07 front fender is about 25 bucks on partzilla.

[@JJackMoto]

Rob Zilla Awesome! I’ll give it a look 👍

[@aristosvasiliou7821]

Is it easy to see behind with the reversed mirrors? Or do you have to move your hands, or head? I've never had mirrors reversed that's why I'm asking.

[@JJackMoto]

Aristos Vasiliou Hello! Honestly, with these lower bars, my view is absolutely unobstructed. The line of sight goes right under my arm down the bike. Take a look at my Rizoma vs. knockoff mirror ride review yo get a better idea. Thanks for watching!!

[@Omin00b]

With the Carmichale bars did you have to get new bar clamps? Revzilla site says "Requires use of 1-1/8" bar clamp, not compatible with standard 7/8" clamps." and I'm a bit concerned.

[@JJackMoto]

Hello and thanks for watching! No mods needed, direct bolt on. Make sure you get the Pro Taper Contour, not the Seven Eighths (SE). These are the ones I ordered. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pro-taper-contour-handlebars-1-18

[@RamboRob]

@@JJackMoto which type did you get? There are like 30 types lol. How do they feel compared to stock, comfort, more aggressive ride, better turn in handling?

[@JJackMoto]

@Rob Zilla I have the Carmichael bend. They are one of the lower bend options, if not the lowest. The ride is definitely more aggressive, but not uncomfortable. The handling is superb. The width really let’s you flick this thing around. One of my favorite mods by far!

[@RamboRob]

@@JJackMoto sweet, thanks!

[@ivansama5304]

Nice bike I have. 2016 xsr700. I bought those $10 mirrors on amazon that you posted but how do you install them with that plastic rubber fitting

[@JJackMoto]

Ivan Sama Keep in mind the bars I have are ProTaper Contour, so they will have a wider diameter at the end. The factory bars may need some drilling out to fit.

[@SamVeneman]

Did you buy the resistor for the LED headlight bulb? Or was it just the bulb that was plug and play?

[@JJackMoto]

The Veneman I believe this bulb has a built in resistor. I already had a relay installed for my signals though.

[@SamVeneman]

@@JJackMoto gotcha. Thanks for your super quick response!

[@firelordboezai2116]

Dam ... perfection dude!

[@JJackMoto]

Bou Lisa Thank you!! It’s been such a fun bike to customize.

[@laurentmais85]

Is the license plate bracket apart of the NRC fender eliminator kit? Do you think it would be possible to install a custom bracket there?

[@JJackMoto]

The bracket is part of the kit, but I would imagine you could fabricate something simple instead of the supplied setup.

[@Becko1023]

Damn i love that tail kit

[@CBW0314]

how is the new rage cycles led strip treating ya? Is it still working?

[@JJackMoto]

I sold the bike back in 2019, but it was a great product. It wasn't really a strip, but an actual framed light. www.newragecycles.com/Yamaha_XSR_700_Fender_Eliminator_Kit_p/xsr700-fe.htm

[@alex_rodriguez777]

were you able to retain your factory bar end weights with the Renthal bars and those Amazon mirrors? Really considering this as a 2nd bike, coming from a 250cc

[@JJackMoto]

Hello Alex. I was not able to keep the bar-ends with the Pro-Taper bars, but I'm sure there are some aftermarket options that would fit.

[@riveboi]

What clamps did you use for the handlebars or did the original fit? Nice mods! 🤙

[@Jay_Michael]

Hey quick question about the handlebars. Did you have to drill any holes for the installation?

[@JJackMoto]

Nope, not at all. I guess you could if you wanted to in order to accommodate the little tabs that hold the throttle cable and signal/light boxes in place, but I just sanded those off and ran one loop of duct tape around the bar to help with grip. Worked like a charm.

[@chrisskinner636]

Did you get the fuse amp that's suggested with the headlight? Looking at getting the same bulb for mine

[@JJackMoto]

I already had the Flasher relay installed for my turn signals from TST Industries. No additional mod needed. I actually recently changed my light completely to the Koso naked option from Brogue. Check that vid out if you get a minute.

[@chrisskinner636]

@@JJackMoto ok just saw that video, looks great! Where did you hide the relay on your bike?

[@JJackMoto]

@@chrisskinner636 No need to hide anything. The flasher relay replaces the factory relay found under the forward cover on the clutch side of the bike. Takes about 10 minutes.

[@chrisskinner636]

@@JJackMoto well now I might sound stupid but forward cover? Not sure what that is

[@JJackMoto]

Chris Skinner No worries! The small cover that hides a bit of electronics, including the relay. It’s right under the gas tank, under the Yamaha label on the clutch side. You’ll see a small set of cooling fins poking through. I think it’s 3 or 4 screws that hold it on.

[@hotelposeidonio6885]

does the handlebar hits the fuel tank?

[@KEEPIT_ROLLIN]

What rear stand is that? Wanting to get one for my XSR.

[@JJackMoto]

I can’t remember where I got that. I think it was just a cycle gear store brand. It was the swing arm setup, not bobbins.

[@ChaseLancaster]

What rear stand is that? I just got an XSR and I am hoping to get a stand for it. Also, is there any additional thing I need to get the stand to work with the bike?

[@JJackMoto]

This is the stand I had. Nothing really additional, just make sure the pads are as close to the rear hub as possible. www.cyclegear.com/accessories/trackside-rear-paddock-stand?sku_id=1127303

[@ChaseLancaster]

@@JJackMoto thank you!

[@phil8249]

Does this still have got torque. Compared to the 900?

[@JJackMoto]

It's definitely a little torque monster, right at 50 lb-ft at 6500 rpm, whereas the 900 is right around 65 lb-ft at 8500. They both have plenty of power for me. Thanks for watching!

[@phil8249]

@@JJackMoto thanks for the reply. I test drove both today. Went with the 700. For me it's the better bike. The 900 would not calm down till 5th gear. I'm thinking of ordering those mirrors. Can you see pretty good with them?

[@JJackMoto]

Phily Great choice! The 900 is incredibly touchy almost the entire power band. I love this bike, and you really can’t beat the sound of that crossplain twin. With the low bars, I can see much better. Once you get used to them being lower, it’s hard to go back. Check out my drive by vid if you haven’t already. Thanks again!

[@JJackMoto]

Phily Keep in mind, these mirrors fit the inside diameter of these pro taper dirt bars, but I think you may need to alter the inside of the stock bars for them to fit.

[@HossanaChikwado]

This is exactly how I want mine to look

[@Jay_Michael]

What rear spools did you get?

[@JJackMoto]

Actually, no spools installed. I just use the swingarm blocks on the lift.

[@johnlemon9413]

Hey do those bar end mirrors just bolt straight in or do I need to purchase adapters as well?

Damn, I miss this bike.

[@SamVeneman]

Any problems since you've removed the front fender?
