RF1400 is still better and quieter
Quickshifter sounds amazing - is that standard on the bike or aftermarket?
@@verothacamaro yessir it comes standard with up and down shifter. The brand new 24+ had a little better programming so mine will only let you shift down when you're off throttle and a few other little things. I still love it I just wish I could use cruise control under 45 and I think the new ones do that as well. I think that's the only differences.
It's just for looks, just for looks...never mind.
My take on Flip-up helmets like the Neotec is that 1) It isn't as safe (Sharp give Neotec 3 a 93% latch success rate, and only a yellow score on the sides) 2) I wear earplugs, so in most situations I'd have to take the helmet off anyways, and 3) I'm afraid that my long beard will get in the way of opening it, as some people have reported 4) With a quick lock strap, there's less of a need for modular But for instructors and police officers, a modular helmet would be great
@@Asbiss ya the rare case when I'm in a conversation I actually want to have while riding I feel a little longing for a modular but that's super rare and I'm happy with a full face in pretty much every other situation.
Your mirrors are nice!!what brand and how to install those?
@@gamermd457 there should be a link in the description. They come with a tie wrap and it wraps around the bar. They aren't great as mirrors but they are technically legal lol
Big thanks,Bro👊👊
@@admireinspire what replacement did you do to the bar ends?
Mate just turned up for a ride with a new GP 900. Lovely bike, except for the rather subdued black & gray paint. Got me thinking about one like yours...
@@HaggisPower I like the gp headlight and their bigger new screen. It's possible they may eventually drop a blue gp version. There are also after market options making tail and front fairings to get a similar look out of the pre 24 models.
@@admireinspire Yes the S2 seat cowl looks good. Not so sure about the quality of their fairing. Still enjoying your bike? Might make an offer on one this week.
hey man howd u go with installing the cardo? im lookin to get a packtalk edge for mine but I'm not sure how it'll go since its made for the sena slr3.
@@backyardjunk101 this is just a cardo mount that came with 3m tape and I stuck it to the helmet. You can probably buy what I have for like 6 bucks. Google cardo helmet mount and anything with red tape should work.
Mine has such bad wind noise, in 20 years I've never experienced it this bad in a helmet. Apart from that it's ok.
@@discosuperfly6242 man I just took mine off that's crazy. At highway speeds on a naked bike? Or just always? I do tend to put on some tunes but I just rode back old school didn't notice the wind at all. What style of bike?
@admireinspire got a yahama xvs1100 cruiser. My hjcf70 is very quiet but the Bluetooth intercom is not that great. The sena3 sounds way better, I listen to music when I ride and can hear it over the wind but the wind is pretty damn loud. I was shocked an expensive helmet was that bad. I should have asked the wind question before I bought it, theresba lot of folks out there with the same complaint. Going to try and jerry rig something . I love the helmet mostly but the wind is too much.
Its loud riding through town at low speed but at high speeds its really loud.
@@discosuperfly6242 wth that's crazy. I wonder if moderate attack position on my bike makes any difference. Next time I ride I'm going to try and sit more back to a cruiser position and see if it changes things. I know they make a cheaper more upright helmet style rf 1400 I believe and I wonder if that's more tailored to the cruiser position.
Man just your energy makes me want one! I think I’m trading my Harley for an XSR900
Lmfao i wish I could be this positive and upbeat for thw other 99% of my life🤣 ride one first! It's important to confirm I'm not crazy with interest rates as they are.
Which version of spark exhaust is this? Sounds incredible
It's their racing grid o titanium one. It's the expensive one but I assume they all sound pretty similar.
Laughing watching bro

Good review ! I’m thinking of trading my R7 for the XSR900 . I love the looks of the XSR and I know it’s a blast to ride . I’ve had a ton of different bikes all Yamahas and all have been great reliable bikes .
I took it today to pick up some music equipment in a town with more traffic and man they don't expect the power on these bikes lol. So many trucks revving and base bmw thinking they have it and they just dont 🤣. From all I've seen the r7 is a great bike I almost went with the mt07 or xsr700 I think I'd be happy if I did but as is I'm not just happy, I'm in love. Follow your heart🫡
What plugs did you use?
Ngk iridium 1 step colder but that's what my tuner recommended when we originally tuned the car for my current build. Used to use regular temp range before the 6466.
Are those two helmets marked the same size? Side by side, the white helmet looks a lot smaller.
They are. Internally I'd say the yellow new one is a bit more fitted and on the outside the yellow is larger I guess for added tests it has to pass. The yellow feels better on the road for me but I believe its a little heavier. Not enough for me to notice or gripe about but ya.
Just got my 23 XSR900. It’s crazy hearing about the wait for the bike, I got mine for a deal because it had been sitting in a crate in the back for a year. I had to have the Legend Blue, such a great looking and riding bike.
Wow congrats! It's an amazing platform and to be able to get it new and at a deal is a huge win. I hope you enjoy it
I wish we could buy that in Germany and most important, use it street legal :( enjoy it bro <3
please paint the wheels black, trust meee
F NO lol blue on gold is my love language.
@@admireinspire yea but tu much gold😔
The rear fender delete is a must have mod. Yours looks so much better than stock. It's obvious they design these bikes with the clean look and then add that plastic monstrosity as an afterthought to appease regulations.
Yes sir I agree with all of that it's kind of sad when people "keep it stock" in monstrosity form🤢 Mine is from New rage cycles I was expecting it to be a place holder until someone made an integrated tail light but that still hasn't happened🤣
Hey man love the looks, have you ever thought about removing the risers from below your handlebar, so you can get even lower with your handlebar and get a more sporty look/ body position?
Interesting. I didn't think that was possible I'm going to look at it tonight. You have a video? Or is it just really easy?
@@admireinspire the only video that shows in detail I found, is in German. But you don't really have to understand what he is saying because it is literally only removing the 2cm riser that's underneath your thing that is holding your handelbar kzread.info/dash/bejne/loykqtWgnqXfZMo.htmlsi=k-AIikD4mFi9tL-p Hope that helps, I chatted with someone who had the xsr 900 with the rizoma retro bar as well and he recommended me to remove the risers. ✌️ Btw if you are wondering why he is removing the screw that holds the handlebar clamp, it is because he does not want the screw to stick out underneath the fork bridge. But it is not necessary to do so, he does it dor aesthetic reasons, he even states that you can simple but 1 or 2 washers underneath the fork bridge and use the OEM screw.
@@Gino.R7 I finally got around to looking at it. It puts my clutch cable at a hard angle but the pull still feels fine. I would need some spacers to put on the underside of the bolt because it's not threaded all the way but I do like that this feels almost exactly like clip ons. I'm going to put it back stock until I get maybe a bunch of washers and I'll probably also run thw clutch cable to the right aide of the frame to make the angle less extreme on the turn of the cable. Thanks for the idea! Edit: went buy washers and ran the clutch cable to the right side of the bike. All is well I like it!
It only took me a ride on, broooo. Take my mt-07 and give me that. But I totally agree w you, w little or non exp on, can go bad fast. I’m still raw on but old enough to enjoy w sort of responsibility, cmon those things can easily take the best of judgements 😅
I may try putting some gel into the seat. Not very hard to remove/retension the stock seat covering. Frankly, who cares about comfort when your got a rocket like this!! I like the shelf.
I think you have the right idea. I bought a more comfortable seat for my r1 and I hated everhrhkng about how it looked so honestly replacing the padding in this stock seat sounds like a great idea. I simply don't ride long enough to get mad about it. If I did, I think i would do the same.
Now I have the VCyclenut Flash, w/Dominator exhaust.. add to that a -1 ,+2 sprocket change. Up to 120, this setup is worthy! Anything less than a full liter bike may of met it's match in acceleration up to 120 ish when my nuts give out.
Not a manly bike. Ugly. Yamaha makes motorcycles for gays.🦄🫤 Z900RS the best! 💪🏻🤠🎶👌🏻
That bike is so clean man! I owned a CBR300 for a while but I’m really wanting an XSR. Do you think it would be okay for me to go ahead to a 900 instead of the 700? With the rider modes I feel it may be all good, and I would definitely be tame until I got used to it. Curious what your thoughts are though?
Hell ya. It will pr9bably be a lot to handle initially but overtime I think you'll really be glad that you don't immediately need to replace the bike after a few months. No bike will really just go nuts you can keep it at max power you just have to keep your inputs in check and play around when it's safe to and when you're comfortable. It has a lot of torque but it's only wheelie happy in first gear so for the power I think it's a really safe bike and the rider aids will help in any really hairy scenario. If you can swing the price, ya I'd definitely go 900 xsr or mt09.
@@admireinspire man I appreciate the response and the feedback! I need to really start looking and pull the trigger at some point! I’ll definitely keep up with videos now man! Have a good one
I have the GT-AIR 2 and I'm not happy with the wind noise even with the chin curtain installed. I noticed the visor on the GT AIR 2 does not fully seat on to the gasket seal when closed no matter how much I adjusted the alignment. My question is does the GT-AIR 3's visor seal against the gasket when fully closed?
I'm looking now and it looks like a seal all the way around. Have you checked at thw store to see if all the gt air 2 have the imperfect seal like yours? Might just need a new visor.
Fellow world rally blue Subaru owner here, and I thought the same thing when I saw this bike in blue in person. That with the gold and yellow 😍 I have to get one on principle alone
The new one is heavier ? I have the same old gt air you have and it’s super heavy . I’m looking to get a new one but not a heavier one sadly
Carbon shells exist and some are pretty cheap too compared to shoei helmets. I'd say try to find a helmet shop that has some carbon models and see how you like those. To me they feel like toys. I really can't feel the weight but I lift weights 6 days a week.
How tall are you if i may ask?
5 10
@@admireinspire I sold my R7, because it was too uncomfortable for me at 6'1. Would you say the xsr 900 with the rizoma bar would be a bad idea for me ? I'm riding the z900 atm but I wanna go back to Yamaha and I miss the sporty look and riding style. The pain not so much tho 😅
How „comfy“ are this handlebars?
I enjoy them but I like the more committed sporty position. I don't have any back pain from them but sometimes my wrists will feel fatigued if I lean on them for too long without realizing.
Just did mine in my STi. Gotta get the right extension and it isn’t tooooo bad. Fucking sucks compared to other configurations I’ve done em on lol
I already need to do mine again and I'm saying fuck it for a bit lol
2023 XSR w/Dual can dominator (W/ mid resonator), Air Box and filter and the World Famous VCYCLENUT Tune.. Wow! Good Tone, Good Tone! A little loud, but only when you nail it. Did a -1, +2 sprocket change! No affect to speedometer. Just because I'll never hit 120. Had some luck w/ liter bikes, but I chicken out and they're moving up.... Another EASY EASY improvement is the EBC HH brake pads on the front.. All 4 calipers takes only 15 minutes with a pair of needle nose!! The Pads Slide out the Back.. Remove the two pin clips, slide out the pin.. zip.. zip.. one done. Next.. Might do the rear, but why? Only 420 Lbs, frame is solid as heck. Nice suspension. The rear spring was way too stiff as new, figuring out the front forks. Best bike ever.. The tires are decent, but I can tell they won't last that long. You say Road 6.. heard that from others. Coming up to 1K miles.. Ride in Rain only by mistake. VCycleNut claimed to change something in the quick shifter.. did you notice anything? I really didn't but rarely does my QS refuse the shift.. Trying to figure out a kinda medium wind screen. I Got one that hugs the screen which is good for seeing the screen.. Considering a $$ Puig that looks good, but easily fooled by pictures.
I like the brake pad idea. I still have the stock front tire on after like 3800 miles so I'm scared to put on better pads on this old tire but I think it'll upgrade front tire and brake pads together. Qs as far as tune no I didn't notice much I think he says people feel like the tune makes the qs smoother but he doesn't actually change anything. It bucks a little on shifts sometimes but nothing I'd complain about I think it's just shifting faster than the revs can go down to match so there will always be that transmission feedback. I have about 2600k on the rear road 6 and it's still perfectly round I love the tire.
what mount is that for your cam?
It's a chinmount for the previous helmet that I epoxied on. I think they make a dedicated one now.
have you tilted your handlebar towards yourself?
In thia video they were just stock but I have after market sportier bars now.
I'm new to the market and looking to get one, would you recommend the GT Air 2 or GT Air 3? Coming from no helmet that is.
They are honestly very similar and assuming you don't care about the newest Sena, I'd go gt air 2 personally or neotec 2 and save some money for something fun. Both are great helmets that will last a long time.
Is that BBRtuned key chain from your car?
Ya lol I needed a jet tag and lost my trusty dusty bakerxderek one. 760 wheel on the car 1.5 years 0 issues bader is a nut.
@@admireinspire From when I knew Josh to what he is now is a proud dad moment every time I see him grow his company! Much love from the 509 and sick bike!
so basically u use D-mode 1 and TCS mode 1
Ya I think so. I've changed bc to 2 and I just keep it on m for no real reason.
@@admireinspire I ride my mt 09 on the same settings.. safe ride bro
Yeah those settings are basically TCS-1. You can actually turn LIF (lift) and one of the others to Off for the manual mode
How much was it? I’m guessing 1500. Sounds great👍 .
It's 2400 now I think that's also what I paid. Kind of dumb honestly 🤡
@@admireinspire I’m not calling you dumb 😂. Has it filled out in a lot more blue over time? I was trying to find a newer video of it but no luck.
@@gregs2268 pretty much the same area has gotten lighter. It goes about half way down the headers so definitely visible but not all the way. I think it's colored where all 4 come together as well but it's behind the little spark badge plate so that's lame.
@@gregs2268 if you buy it from vcyclenut the tune is free that's how I rationalized the price a little bit.
Thank you for your review. I like your cats.
Those mirrors are there because of regulations, right? I mean, they do not look like you really wanna see something behind you 😅
Ya I can make out a little of the side blind spot area but nothing directly behind sadly.🤡
Your cat is hilarious. lol cool video.
I completely agree. I went a couple states over to pick up a 2019 and the guy I bought it from put a fresh pair of Road 6’s on before I left with it. I never enjoyed riding in the rain out of the 5 bikes I’ve owned until I got caught in the rain on this bike and those tires. I had unusual fun. I almost went back out. I also must ask..where did you get those mirrors? I swapped the bar for a Hurricane Fat Swallow and couldn’t use my bar ends unfortunately.
Lmao to this day I have 0 rain anxiety it's honestly fun the only reason I still hesitate is the other drivers having their normal 4% brain capacity PLUS lower visibility scares me lol. I have an Amazon link in the description for the mirrors. They will show the blind spots but you'll still have to shoulder check to see behind you. Glad to hear you found one and you're enjoying it!🫡
@@admireinspire absolute fact and yes indeed I’m always gonna look. Ppl are sleep driving lol. Thanks btw I’m definitely gonna have to order some
Why do you even compare the 2019 bike? Completely different bike...
Where did you get the mirrors?
I have an Amazon link in the description sir!🫡
Awesome. That’s the only thing I don’t like about the bike. Thanks!
Seems like the perfect bike to hoon around on - what an amazing design too
I love the torque personally. To have a fun time pop the front wheel up bang a gear and I'm still only going like 45 -55 after that. It allows me to be a little dumb without it being incredibly dangerous and punishing. It's great for dig races too nothing beats this off the line light to light. Now highway pulls its no liter bike and that's totally fine for me because I never do those.
Can you get a slightly higher bar or riser setup to straighten your back out?
I'm not sure if that part exists but I'm sure it does in some capacity. I don't have any real back issues anymore. With this bike, you're kind of limited by the seat as far as riding time goes and I find my ass giving up before my back does these days.
I understand you haven't read the manual. You need three to four clicks for the buckle. Congratulations with the new world class helmet.
Dang I didn't even think about a minimum depth lol you're right I didn't but I appreciate that you have! I'm going to adjust it a little to make that happen thank you.🫶🫡🫡
The factory seat on my DRZ400s was horrible like sitting on a 2x4 I put a seat concepts seat on it and now I can ride all day. I’m replacing the rear brake line with the stainless mesh line, I’ve heard that will help, old brake lines will expand under pressure, the reinforced lines don’t. I think he’ll enjoy the DRZ400s. I’m 6’2” and it’s still tall and I try to not stop on uneven ground.
I think it's possible the seat wasn't great but all the seats I have experience with were just worse lol (kawasaki 636, r1, now xsr900) which is really really sad. He was riding 5 or 6 days a week last tim we talked. He already has more bikes than me lol
nope… not the first one :)
No way I felt like the smartest man alive you telling me I'm not?!?😭
@@admireinspire I hope no one will try to check the DOT on mine 😁
That’s my dream bike!
I still love it everyday. It's like marrying a hot wife who can't talk. She will keep you impressed and uplifted every day🤣
@@admireinspire oh I bet!!! 🤣🤣
@@admireinspire if you can.. you should make more videos of her!
The quick disconnect is something I greatly miss with my old helmet. I wish all of them were like this. Stay safe bro and have fun 💛
I've heard you can swap the mechanism on most helmets but I've never actually gotten in there to do it.
Is this a full exhaust or a slip on? Sounds like full system, but just curious.
Full system and I did some air box and filter changes and a tune.
@@admireinspire Very nice, sounds good! 👍👍
