Not for Legend blue (Code: 0775 / BMC) -BUT- for the light blue and yellow stickers that are in the gas thank. I would like to paint (or create) some accents in those colors and I'm having trouble locating those values. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi, I'm wondering if the outcome of an idea I've been thinking of would be any good.
I won't be able to try it for 2 years due to only having an A2 license.

I really like the look of the bikes from the game cyberpunk 2077 specifically the arch nazare from that game:

I know that the bike is a real life bike being the arch method 143 but its 100k+

but I was wondering if I could recreate my favourite aspects of the bike on the xsr900 platform.

Engine:

the first thing would be engine, currently I ride an r7 (a2 restricted) and really love the shunt of the bike, I don't really care for the top end power I care more for low end torque.

this is represented in the arch method 143 (real life bike) with its 2500cc v twin engine that has insane 151 ft-lbs of torque.

obviously I wouldn't be able to completely replicate this with an xsr900 but would be willing to sacrifice most of the top end power for low end shunt with a tune / ecu flash. On the topic of engine, the v twin rumble and sound is another aspect I love and wonder if any type of custom exhaust could replicate this in conjunction with a tune.

looks:

this is the main reason I think the xsr900 would be the perfect fit to replicate this bike with the already aggressive footpeg position and positioning of the engine.

the mods i think would replicate the look of the fictional cyberpunk bike (photo 1) would be a set of low clip ons to lower the stance of the bike

I also think that a front shock lowering could also help with the aesthetics (maybe not if at the cost of handling though)

the next mod would be a belly pan to resemble the arch

the next would be some sort of seat chop to try and remove the passenger seat while integrating the tail light and indicators

next would be a front headlight cover like the "S2 concept headlight xsr900"

after that a rear mudgaurd extender

I would also need/try to set the footpegs higher up and maybe increase the height of the seat and if possible maybe even get an undertail exhaust

this is currently all hypothetical but if you have any ideas on what model of xsr, a different bike that would work better, any custom parts or if the tune is possible then please let me know

anyway thanks for taking the time to read!

Happy to report that the 2025+ footpegs are definitely a worthwhile "upgrade" from the previous Gen 2022-2024 solid aluminum pegs. They are longer than the stock ones, so my pant legs keep getting caught slightly when I have my feet down, but its just a matter of getting used to the change.

BLW-27413-00-00 COVER, FOOTREST (Yamaha) $11.62

BMG-27451-00-00 FOOTREST 3 (Yamaha) $30.22

BMG-27461-00-00 FOOTREST 4 (Yamaha) $30.77

Would recommend

Any recommendations on decent looking radiator guards for my 24 model XSR 900

Curious if anybody has had this issue.
When I first bought my XSR I had an oil pressure light after an underfilled oil change. Nothing too bad just turned on for about 10 seconds after hard acceleration. Never had anything after that until the other day. Was banging gears and it turned on me so I assumed oh it just needs to catch up or it’s a little underfilled. Neither, so I just added some oil to it to see if that would fix it but it didn’t. It comes on still but under what I would consider normal acceleration 4-6k RPM. Unsure if anybody else has had the issue or could point me in a good next direction. 7500 miles
Thank you in advance!

Got these beautiful SW-MOTECH Side bags 6 months ago only to have them stolen off the bike mere days after returning from a San Diego trip.

Cant have shit in phoenix.
They attempted to steal a lane splitter mirror but I guess they got spooked and left the parts and mirror on the floor.

Anyone enjoying the new VLOC bags?
I’m thinking of getting those now that the SLC legend gear bags are discontinued.

Sunny and 75 today in Northwest Florida gorgeous ride.

I was about to pass a car that was almost stopped and looked like it was preparing to turn right. Instead, the driver suddenly decided to make a U-turn without checking his mirrors, looking around, or indicating. Just turned straight into my path.

My footpegs absolutely shredded his tire, while my foot, brake pedal, and clutch cover took the impact. Somehow, I managed to keep the bike upright and bring it to a controlled stop.

Luckily, the damage to the bike doesn’t seem too bad. I bought it brand new and have already put over 2,000 km on it in just two months, so this definitely wasn’t how I wanted to break it in. 💀

My motorcycle boots deserve a huge shout-out. My foot took a pretty hard hit, but thankfully, no broken bones or cuts. Just some pain from the impact.

Now, the driver… that’s where things got interesting.
The old guy immediately started claiming he’d used his indicators. When I suggested checking the car’s onboard computer to see whether he’d actually activated them, suddenly he was asking if we could keep the insurance companies out of it and whether he could just pay for the damage himself.

And here’s the best part: the FIRST thing he said after the collision was, “My wife is going to be happy. We only bought this car a week ago.”
My guy. I’m literally on the ground in pain, holding my foot, and you’re worried about your wife’s reaction to your brand-new car? 💀

Thankfully, a painter working outside witnessed part of the incident. He’s a fellow motorcyclist and backed up my version of events, which was a huge relief.

For now, I’m willing to give the driver a chance to pay for the repairs himself. If he starts messing around or refuses to cooperate, I’ll just go through the insurance companies as usual.

Honestly, I’m just grateful I kept the bike upright and walked away without any serious injuries. The damage can be repaired, but it really makes you wonder how someone can make such a reckless manoeuvre without checking whether anyone is coming.
Ride safe out there, everyone. 🤙

Does the horn need to be relocated to use a front headlift stand on the 25 and up XSR-900’s?

Any recs other than Woodcraft/Pittbull?

Hey everyone!

I am considering buying this 2022 XSR900 with 3,600 km from its first owner. He says he purchased in 2022 and it's always been completely stock and was last serviced a year ago, after which he has ridden only around 600 km.

*Are there any specific issues or checks you would recommend before finalising the deal?

*Age-related issues I should check for, especially because the bike has spent long periods sitting in the parking?

*What maintenance should already have been done, and what should I ask the owner about?

Or any any other advice is gladly welcome...
PS: I am also interested in buying a windshield if any of you would like to sell it. Happy riding!!

The Yamaha boys out on a chilly fall ride up to the mountains in Western Carolina. Nice ride from Charlotte with some food spots along the way.

Noticed this a week or so ago. Nearly as soon as the sun starts hitting the tank gas starts leaking out. Tank is getting hot causing pressure to build I believe. Even today it's cooler out and the tank heats up with the sun and it's dripping steadily. Is this normal? I've never noticed this with any of my other bikes.

Sweeping through the mountains curves in UAE. Warming up as the riding season is about to kick off.

I can only find Ali express or even official listings for one side or the other but never both can someone please help.

I'm about to pick up a 2025, but the one thing I don't like is the free play in the throttle. Is this typical for these bikes? Has anyone fixed it (wedges etc.)

It’s neither too cold nor too hot—the best season for touring!　@Miyagase dam

Hey yall i’m not tryna spend 250+ dollars on the SW MOTO side supports but i can’t find reliable listings for cheap ebay or ali express ones can i steal y’all’s links? I already have saddle bags that will sit on whatever i just need the supports

Who is making those

Hi everyone.

Yesterday I crashed my 2 month old, brand new 2025. I was overtaking or passing around a queue of cars waiting at a stoplight. All of a sudden, a big 2024 Volvo XC90 to get into my lane and I had absolutely zero time to react. No indicator, nothing, zero warning. I wasn't going exactly fast anyway, maybe 30 km/h but it was enough to topple me.

I sprained my ankle, AGAIN after spraining it 4 weeks ago during a volleyball game. It healed quite well and felt ok to ride and the weather was so nice Yesterday. But on top of that, I also broke 2 bones in my instep.

The bike fell on the right side. Right mirror is finished, the blinker, headlight, radiator guard and crankcase(?) is finished. I was told it can be fixed but I was in such a shock when it happened that I thought the bike is totalled.

Well, I am trying to take it positively and think that I am glad it actually happened. A few things are clear

- I need better shoes. The ones I have have ripped at the ankle support.
- I need to be paying even more attention when I ride again and anticipate people making stupid mistakes.
- I should be glad that only this happened and nothing worse. I am glad, and thankful and also extremely lucky. I should not take it for granted.

The driver admitted fault and feels bad about it. He didn't check his mirrors and his BLIS system didn't register me or whatever.

All the repairs and my healing should hopefully come from his full insurance. I don't want to say hop before I jump, but I spoke to him on the phone this morning and the police last night and it seems it will be the case.

Ride safe, everyone! :)
