    Thank you for sharing your experiences with the bike and listing your pros and cons. I appreciate the fact that you did not only criticize but you also offered suggestions and actual fixes for most the issues you encountered. The city tour was a fantastic backdrop as your narrative unfolded. GREAT REVIEW 👍.

    Best long term review I have ever seen. Like the voice over silence and played sound of bike for exhaust. Good daily drive in city conditions is a real world test of how good a bike rides. Agree with all your cons and basically entire video - been riding since 1988. Wonderful editing too. A joy to watch.

    20,000 km on mine with 0 issues so far. Love the bike! I do find that the B mode helps with jerky throttle and in traffic. Also just got YSS cartridge kit + rear shock put in as the stock suspension was really rough on poor quality roads at higher speeds, I found. Was thinking of getting another bike, but realized that there is no bike that I really want over this and that switching will not get me a better bike, just a different bike. Xsr900 is awesome!

    I no I said it in the review but I couldn’t understate it the exhaust make the throttle soooooooo much smoother. It’s literally a game changer I was thinking about trading it in for a different bike also. But now that it rides the way it should. I never want to get rid of it. Trust me it makes that much of a difference. Sorry for the late response

Fuel capacity is my only big con and even then only if I'm in the mountains being paranoid. Mike, you wouldn't be disappointed with the 900 at all. The customization possibilities are great and you can make it what you want. It's best suited for the city and trips to the twisties in my opinion. It can do the other things but it shines in the above mentioned. Love mine and can't think of another bike I'd want to ride more.

    This bike will soon enough become a classic, now Yamaha have released the updated model. I have the 2017 metallic Blue/grey stripe Abarth model, and I love it so much. Recently changed the chain and sprocket set, but have yet to ride it as the front fork pinch bolt stripped its thread when being re-fitted after a tyre change, and now I'm waiting to get that fixed.

    Hey there, thanks for the long term review and the pointers. I've only been riding for a couple of years but my first bike is the XSR 700. I know a lot of the 700's issues are not carried over to the 900, but how do you go for fuel? The tank is too small on my 700 and I have to fill up twice when we ride through the hills on the weekend which can be a problem when your out in the boonies with no petrol stations close and it's running low. However, small tank aside, as my daily city commuter (Melbourne Australia) it shines. So nimble and torquey I have a permanent smile on my dial. I also feel like this is a bike I'd never sell... But I think I'd happily upgrade it to the 900.

    I believe we have about the same size fuel tank you might actually get better range because you have a smaller engine. But I can squeeze 150miles out my tank but it in AUS i would say keep the 700 and carry spare fuel. I don’t know the look you go for but they have big Roto canisters you can hook to the bike or just a little gas bottle to keep your mind at ease

    Well done! Great review. Thank you! This one is growing on me. Went to a dealer for a testride and they gave me the MT-09 saying it was similar. Decided I didn't want one since it was "dancing" all over the road. Crappy suspension. But I've come to realize that the XSR uses the same suspension as the Tracer which is better. Any thoughts on that? Anything to look out for? Some models/years better than others? Cheers mate!

    Hey I heard the XSR suspension is alittle better than the FZ but I don’t think it will be too far off. I never had a problem with it tho I don’t take it too the extremes like on the track. But for back roads and city it’s more than good enough. As far as years I would say 2018 and up so you can get the optional Yamaha quickshifter. 😎. If you have a chance to give it a test ride. Definitely do so

    Again you're talking about valve adjustments $300 versus how much you paid on your other bike if you paid $300 your valves did not need to be adjusted they pulled everything apart they pulled the valve cover and they checked the clearance your valves were inspects so they put it back together that's your $300 now your other bike that cost you a lot more needed the valves adjusted that's why you paid a lot more I was a motorcycle mechanic for over 37 years some of these people are misleading people
