the front fairing and the seat cowl would totally transform this bike

[travisdixon]

Congrats on the purchase. I just leveled up to the '23 XSR900 in blue from the 2017 FZ07. I just passed 1k miles here in NC and ordered the Yoshi AT2 exhaust yesterday. I look forward to your mods and inspiration on the build.

Congrats man!
Can't wait to hear the exhaust upgrade, hope you do it properly as just revving it stationary with no load is just sad.
It's would be nice to see and hear a mountain pass rip!

I got mine a week or so ago. I've already done the airbox mod, sprint filter and flash. Waiting on an exhaust now. Spark full titanium and sc project s1 are my favorite ones but no one state side has them in stock. I've also done the gp shift pivot from vcyclenut, tail tide from nrc, clear tank grips and protector. I have scs to 1 but otherwise exact same settings. 750 miles and it's been the best bike I've ever owned. Previously I have ninja 650, 636 and a 2017 r1 and this beats them all for usability and comfort and just riding joy. My youtube history is about 30 xsr/mt09 videos a day so whatever you make I'll watch lol

That gosh darned HORN location...it's like a spot on the TV that once you see it you can't not see it!!

2023 XSR900 here.. blue/gold wowie!! A total home run.. The Standard by which all other 900ish bikes are compared..

I painted the exhaust on my 2024 w/ a black high-temp ceramic paint. Makes a huge difference!

[okie-rider]

That race kit looks pretty sick! Go for it amigo!

[thebigguy]

Thank you, Alex, and Congrats on the sweet ride.

I would strongly suggest getting the cowling. It greatly transforms the look of the bike into a more retro bike.

I've had this bike for over 6 months with an M4 Exhaust and while I thinks its the best sounding exhaust for the xsr900, it's also ridiculously loud. I don't mind it since I ride with earbuds though. Also, the fairing and seat cowl are nice, but I'd take a look at S2 Concept fairing for an even more classic cafe look. Hope you have fun with the XSR!

Enjoy! Road trips are good content. Exhaust is hideous, so def. go with your idea of change there. And rare do I say modify a bike, but your ideas are spot on. Although, I might not mess with the levers.

The aftermarket parts from Brogue and others that are becoming available for the 22+ XSR900s totally make that bike an awesome addition to the fleet. The headlight is plastic, the tail and seat have to go... So much you can do to make it yours. What aftermarket parts do you crave?

I have a 2023 MT 10 and I love it!! I traded my 2022 Kawasaki Z900 RS cafe for it. I did demo this bike also (2023 XSR 900) and it is a great bike. Very very good!!

BTW the Michelin Road 5 and 6 are great tires. I put the Road 6 on my Z900 and they were night and day compared to the OEM Dunlop GPZ 300. My MT 10 has Bridgestone Battlax S22 as OEM and I love them so far with just 1000 miles on them. I will probably go back with the Battlax S22 or S23 when it's time. I just really like the profile of the tire. The turn/tip in is good. So sharp and they are very confidence inspiring.

I almost bought one but found a new ‘22 Street Triple RS for $2200 off and couldn’t resist. I’m thinking about getting Road 6 also.

Look at the LeoVince LV Race exhaust. I have it on my 2023 XSR900 and a couple of YouTube vids on it. Looks and sounds great. Easy and direct fit install with no modifications needed.

I just went to my local dealer and saw the 2024 with its beautiful colors (white and red with gold wheels), and I am infatuated. I have a 2018 SV650 that I love (and it’s my favorite paint scheme of that bike) so I’m torn. I want more power and tech, but I love my current bike and how it looks. Do I need more power? No. Do I want it? Yessir.

How is 2 🆙, are passengers more comfortable than mt09 ..??? And is the ride really compromised with a passenger..??? Would love❤to hear about passenger complaints and rider feedback, thx 🙏 in advance

[peemot]

I lucked out and was able to snag a 23 two weeks ago down near Tampa. I'm in love with this bike! I was looking at the exact same exhaust! I bet it would look really good on this bike! Looking forward to future content!

Good Choice! I pulled the 2023 blue as well. Golly, wish I could buy stock in XSR900.. Can't imagine what isn't perfect here. I added a small wind deflector around the screen, might go a little bigger, Thinking another inch lower on the pegs, tires are fine for my skill level (Intermediate). I like a seat with a shelf.. The quick Shifter is The Standard, and will obsolete automatic transmissions for drag racing at least. Ford has Rev Matching in their new Mustang but you still have to use the Clutch!! Worth an easy half a second! Bitch gets her own bike, there will be no passengers on this bike.. I like the stock muffler.. all tucked up underneath, out of the way. Might do a Tail job but not there yet. I made a parking "Holster" for the garage. The Blue is good, but probably would consider a red bike. ONE Complaint!! The Steering turn radius is very wide for garage handling. No idea why they did this? The XSR is a Great Choice. My next in line was the Triumph Street Triple, not so much the Kawasaki Z900RS.
