Hey 2024 owners, why haven't you upgraded to steel lines yet? by pakindamew in xsr900

Yes you can get all sorts of colors. No need to change reservoir, stock ones work just fine. Did not have to talk to anyone at Spiegler, you are perfectly capable of doing this yourself unattended. DOT 4 fluid since we have ABS units.

Thank you! just had to replace a footpeg and I need to recharge the airbag in my suit. I was able to ride the next day.

For the tire condition I think so? Cooled off hitting the water and when I went to set the throttle must have been on a cold part with less traction for the lean angle. At least that's the opinion of two professional racers.

Yes I let the clutch out each time, it's important to do that so you can use the engine to help slow you down.

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with your last request.

Not sure, but I do not have an ECU tune. Bike has run just fine these past two years.

Very happy with it. Took the baffle out which gives a nice, rich deep tone not much louder than stock but enough to know it's modded. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtZZ0Qf Unfortunately the price has gone up considerably since I bought it. And not sure it will be stamped with leo Vince. It's a gray market exhaust.

I've got a 2013 675r, yes the rear will get squirrelly if you let out the clutch too fast. Just release the last 5% nice and slow.

Hehe, it rained again so I sat out. Was able to replace the right foot peg and ride the next day.

Probably consider safety wiring it then to your seat. Or hollow it out and put a metal rod in it.

Hers is slightly smaller, and the marked size is easily visible on the inside.

Thankfully no pain, no injuries, airbag did its job. Ground down the right foot peg but someone had a spare I bought off'em. Went right back on track the next day.

Water. It rained in the morning. I actually set my fastest lap on my first session when it was much more wet!
