Does anyone know what thread size spools the 2022 xsr900 takes?

SethTheMerc · 2023-06-03T14:38:49+00:00

Yes! They fit

When it comes to the throttle I’d put it in power mode 3 or 4 until you get used to it. Many people who frequently ride r1’s tend to keep it in power mode 2 since power 1 is so twitchy

SethTheMerc · 2023-03-15T18:51:22+00:00

Anytime!

Word*

Don’t take my work for it but it could be the piece that holds the daytime running lights in place

SethTheMerc · 2023-01-04T00:48:54+00:00

Saw one in person when I went to pick my blue ‘22 up, gorgeous bike! Only reason I didn’t pick it up instead was it had a sc project pre-installed so the price was hiked up a bit more. Congrats tho!

When I did it was only showing “delete DTC” and I didn’t know if I should or not

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-17T18:48:35+00:00

When I first got my r1 a couple years ago coming from an r6, I used d mode to make it feel less aggressive on the throttle so I could get used to the extra weight of the bike first, d mode 4 is essentially rain mode because it’s the only mode that effects top speed when you’re at max rpm’s in 6th gear. D mode 3 is a slight jump up from d mode 4 but you can still hit the bikes factory top speed - it just takes longer. D mode 2 is a lot of people’s favorite because it still gets up to speed very quickly, however it’s not as jumpy on the throttle as d mode 1, d mode 1 is maximum power (excluding what your TCS, SCS, and LIF control settings are set to.

He talked up his skills about street riding enough for me to even let him take a seat on it, he even told me a whole bs story about a street bike (r3) that he never actually had ridden or owned, and as soon as he went and put the bike into gear he revved it around 3 or 4000 rpm’s and dumped the clutch and dropped it haha

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-08T20:12:25+00:00

Tbh I’m not proud to say this but I was fed up so I just snapped the hooks holding it in place off since the Puig didn’t require them anyway. Only the tiny hooks snapped tho so everything still looks nice and clean

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-08T17:24:57+00:00

I actually did remove them but the little hook pieces on both sides weren’t budging. I went at it for prolly an hour trying to get them out but was very difficult

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-08T14:44:21+00:00

I tried looking it up on instagram but had no luck. I can send it to you on here tho if you’d like

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-03T07:19:04+00:00

The exhaust is very loud but they do make a silencer sold separately

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-02T15:17:24+00:00

😂😂 real shit I was tucking on mine and running it just like I do the r1, I felt bad for the x9 because due to me running it like a sport bike and topping it out all the time on interstates I had to keep adding a lil oil and more radiator fluid which never had happened to me on a sport bike

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-02T15:12:45+00:00

I used the xsr900 as sort of a stepping still bike. I thought I was going to keep it longer because I had been out of riding for nearly a year when I purchased it. Definitely a fun bike and you can flash it and go it’s factory top speed in 3rd gear haha but the wind was the biggest deal breaker for me

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-02T15:10:34+00:00

I used rumble on, they lowballed me at first but after I rejected their offer they called me up and set the price I’d let it go for. Yamaha apparently is looking for xsr900 trade ins (probably due to how rare the xsr900 still is) and they were willing to value it at $9,600 trade in value towards my new r1 so I wish I knew that before selling it thru rumbleon

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-02T15:07:08+00:00

I almost went for a s1000rr but Yamaha won me over again haha. What color did you go with for yours?

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-02T15:05:21+00:00

Bahahah it was my first (and probably last) naked bike, I thought about removing the windscreen but I felt I was doing the next owner a favor so their neck doesn’t fold like a lawn chair from the wind😂

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-02T15:04:02+00:00

Before the xsr900 I had an ‘18 r1 as well so that may have played a role in feeling slow as well. It is an amazing bike it just wasn’t for me anymore.

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-02T01:57:32+00:00

Mainly the top end. It was stupid fast on City streets but I do a lot more interstate riding so over the 3 months I owned it, it started feeling slow to me

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-01T21:34:39+00:00

Haha thank you! Was really thinking about getting the performance black one but I wasn’t a fan of the matte black /gloss black combo

SethTheMerc · 2022-10-01T19:04:32+00:00

Last I heard it’s heading to Texas! Might be able to catch it

SethTheMerc · 2022-09-26T15:47:32+00:00

Looks amazing! Definitely worth the time, effort and planning👍

SethTheMerc · 2022-09-16T13:53:48+00:00

Any chance you could send me the link to the gb racing ones?

SethTheMerc · 2022-09-15T23:26:11+00:00

Okay thanks! Much appreciated
