On Track With The 2022 Yamaha XSR900

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

#motorcycle #trackdays #yamahamotorcycle
Given the 1980s Yamaha GP bikes that inspired this completely redesigned Yamaha XSR900, we thought a day at the track with one was in order. So with the blessing of Yamaha Motors USA, the invitation by Track Day Winner Motorsports, and the exceptional photography of Highside Photo, we hatched a plan.
The new Yamaha XSR900 is a fantastic street motorcycle, but how would it handle on a dedicated race track? We took it to the legendary Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta to find out.

    We can plainly hear the bike, and the music helps muffle the wind noise. Plus, we don’t think it’s very loud.

    To our knowledge, they were factory settings. We didn’t mess with the suspension settings prior to the track day. For the rider’s size and limited track experience, fore and aft settings were pretty well dialed.

    Like many modern retros and naked sports, the seat is kind of stiff. The suspension is adjustable, front and rear.

    Many track day outfits won’t allow helmet-mounted cameras out on track, and make you tether somehow your bike-mounted camera rig. I didn’t have a braided cable GoPro tether, so a guy at the track day gave me a few zip ties to fashion a looped tether they would approve. Looked silly, but it worked,
