Xsr900Rider

Trying to figure out how to delete this. Can’t bring myself to part with it yet. Maybe I can sneak some time on the bike this summer.

I have a like new 2016 Yamaha xsr900 I’m looking to sell. It has just over 3,000 miles(mileage may go up as I ride it). I am throwing in all my riding gear and stuff for the bike.  I’m not able to get out and ride enough to justify the payment so it is time to let it go.

Riding Gear

size 46 black Joe Rocket jacket leather and textile

2 pair leather riding gloves

size 47 Sidi riding boots

scorpion Hemet and scena headset 

Bike accessories 

moto demic fly screen

r&g radiator gaurd

r&g block off plate for rear pegs

still have stock rear pegs

rear tailbag

rear stand

I will work on getting pictures of everything and need to make sure I know my payoff before posting the asking price. I just wanted to get it on here for anyone interested.

 best kind of rides. Wish I was off enjoy some great weather riding for all us poor bastards working today.

Dammit I have to work , have a good ride. Got any general direction your heading?

Welcome, sorry to hear about the bike.

Decided to test fit my dry bag on the FJR. Looks like it will work just fine. Now if I ever decide to get camping gear...

Looks good. I'd say you'd have plenty of room with all that storage for a nice camping trip.

@JustinNck1 did you decide what day your going down? 

Nice bike and congrats.

When this thing first started, nobody showed up to group rides in anything more than a jacket gloves and a helmet. The more gear the better but no one will show on you for showing up in jeans. A helmet gloves and motorcycle jacket (not Fonzie jacket) are heavily recommended.

I have helmet, gloves, jacket, and riding boots. I'll probably order some pants soon and probably textile to go over whatever I'm wearing and maybe not be freezing when I'm riding in the high 30 degree mornings this year.

So the wife sent this to me this morning. I think that means I should use this in any and all future bike purchase decisions.

What's wrong with riding jeans? I know they won't be as good as leather, but there's at least some protection. I have Bull-it SR-4 jeans with the elbow pads from my jacket in the knees. (I put the knee pads in my jacket. heh) I also have hip pads. I didn't account for one thing; jeans stretch and get baggy. Don't want to wear them out by washing them more than needed. (I fit like a 31" waist which is rare to find. My Bull-it 32's require a belt unless I want them to sag. Probably not what is meant by setting sag.)

No I mean right now I'm in regular jeans not riding jeans. I was looking at the SR line of jeans actually this morning. Sr4 and sr6

hmm I think the ones I have are 38x34

Hmm I'd probably have to sew in the waist. I'm 6'3" 215lbs or so

What size are you? I have riding jeans stashed somewhere that I haven't worn in years

34x34 sometimes 36x34 depending on fit

Welcome, and be safe out there. I dread riding downtown columbus anymore but will do it if I must. Taking rides in the country are much more relaxing for me with more nature and less cars.

Regarding the WR250, I just did 1700 miles through Colorado on mine in June.  Plenty of power for off road, and will cruise at 60 easily.  Pretty lightweight and handles well.  She struggled some up the mountains, but the fuel injection did a better job than a carb would have.  Pretty happy with the little unit.  Just wish i would have spent a bit more on a newer unit...its showing its age and wear.

That is a great pic! Why do I have to work  if I ever hit the lottery I'm taking trips like that all the time. 

I probably will one day. I of course need to get some riding pants as that is the last piece of Gear to make me ATGATT. I know let the hazing commence for riding in jeans . Been putting it off trying to decide on textile or riding jeans.

First.  yOur XSR is the tits.  Especially that color.  I may be biased since i have a 50th and 60th.

Unless you are going to purposefully look for off road adventures, but just want to handle what ever comes your way with a lean toward street and camping, I'd suggest the Tenere or the Multistrada.  Both can be outfitted with had bags.  Multi comes in a 1200 V-Twin power too (or less).  My friend has a Multi 1200 and rails with me through the twisties and runs away from me on the occasional gravel roads.  That is his everyday/weekend bike.  He loves his Panigale, but it's really too track orientated for him.

Thanks yeah it is a very nice bike and great motor. I am looking at being able to take weekend trips to Wayne to hit the trails, Hatfield McCoy, and any other trails I can find on weekends. Also hit all the dirt and gravel roads I can find to enjoy the country. I think most adventure bikes are going to be to big for the dirt capabilities I'm looking for. I used to have a crf450x and I used to love to take that down to Wayne. Got rid of it due to back surgery but now I feel like a whole new man and can start enjoying off-road again. Of course still have to be careful and not do anything to crazy, but anymore I am finding I enjoy riding and don't really need to ride like I'm racing myself all the time.

Is that a saddleman?

I just ordered and put on a SW Mototech tank bag.  Wish I could find a weekend trip size tail bag that fits the R1.  The pillion seat is sooo tiny of a footprint.

Yes it is the saddleman wide sport tunnel bag and I was wrong that thing is plenty big enough for anything I want to bring. Hell it fit gallon of milk and some other groceries one night. I did add straps to the bottom rings underneath and ran to the subframe because with weight it was shifting side to side but now seems very stable.

They do make a smaller version that might fit.

That is the thing I want a little of both. I am seriously looking at that KTM 690. Has enough grunt to get me to the trails with gear and will handle some serious trail riding. They seem like they are hard to find which is fine as I need to either talk the wife into a second bike and save up some for the bike fund or run the XSR a little more and decide if I can let her go.

Rare breed to find around here. Gawd knows the amount of cruisers running around. 

I know the feeling. I ride mainly by myself one because I left the military to move to an area where I know no one and two I took jobs where I work from home and everyone I work with is in different states. I agree with one of the great parts of riding is the friends you make and I miss riding with people but around here it is mostly cruisers and I'd say 3 out of 10 wave and those seem hesitant since I'm not on a cruiser. I had a time of no two wheels in my life and I'll take solo riding over nothing any day of the week. 

I may be down there one day this weekend if things work out. 

Got the windscreen in finally today. Mounted and quick spin to see how it works. Does ok and looks good so all in all happy with it.

Also added straps to hold tail bag more stable. I Got milk the other day and it shifted and pulled bag over to my left side.

A new idea.A picture of yourself in front of a landmark that someone else posted.

I like that idea

Yeah, glad you posted as I'm going down this weekend for the day hopefully and now I can plan a detour ahead of time

I would keep the street bike and get a small dual sport.BTW, I love your XSR...I think we share engines,I have the FJ 09.But anyway,I had a KLR and found out real quick that light weight is the way to go off road.I would never own a dual sport as heavy as a KLR again.

I've done a lot of camping on a bike but it was all on an FJR out west so I really can't speak to camping on a light weight bike.

I love it too which makes the thought of switching even harder. And yes we do share engines and I love this triple.
