ENGINE

New CP3 Engine    

• The newly developed 889 cc liquid-cooled 3-cylinder engine is lighter, quicker and more powerful, with more torque at lower rpm.
• Significantly increased torque by 6% to 68.5 ft.lb. 
• Features a 3 mm longer stroke to give an extra 43cc
• Increased horsepower by 3.95 HP up to 117 HP 

New Intake and Exhaust    

• A new intake and exhaust produce a beautiful sound that enhances the feeling of acceleration.
• New exhaust features unequal length headers and dual-sided outlets, and by experimenting with muffler chamber size, the ideal sound was achieved.

New Fuel Injectors    

• New fuel injectors give increased efficiency.

Improved Transmission and Clutch    

• Optimized gear ratios and a refined assist-and-slipper clutch match the higher output of the EU5-compliant engine.

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

All-new Lightweight CF Aluminium Die-cast Frame    

• An entirely new compact CF die-cast aluminium frame design—a modern take on the Deltabox layout—features a higher level of chassis stiffness for improved rider feedback, stability and an increased dynamic riding window.
• Longitudinal, lateral and torsional rigidity are all significantly increased, resulting in better straight-line stability together without affecting agility, and the head pipe is located 30 mm lower than the previous model for increased feeling when cornering. 
• 14% reduction in inertia around the steering axis compared to the previous model – enabling the rider to corner quickly, accurately and confidently.

Adjustable Suspension    

• A fully adjustable 41 mm front fork uses optimized settings that match the character of the compact new high-rigidity frame and reduce the tendency to pitch, giving a smoother and more controlled ride. The adjustable rear suspension features new settings as well as a revised linkage to match the all-new, high-rigidity swingarm.

Lightweight SpinForged Wheels    

• Weighing 700 g less than the previous model, the new SpinForged wheels give outstanding chassis agility by decreasing the moment of inertia at the rear by 11%. This reduced unsprung weight also enhances suspension performance, and contributes towards an impressive 9% improvement in fuel efficiency.

DETAILS

Next-generation design and styling    

• Technologically and aesthetically inspired by the 1980s – a glorious and significant period in Yamaha’s history – the XSR900 boasts rich heritage styling while integrating modern performance features. 

6-Axis IMU plus lean-sensitive rider aids    
Developed from the YZF-R1, the compact new 6-axis IMU governs the XSR’s high-tech rider aids, including:

• 3-mode Traction Control System (TCS)
• Slide Control System (SCS)
• Front-wheel Lift Control System (LIF)
• Brake Control system (BC)

(note: TCS, SCS and LIF are lean-sensitive)
 
Full-colour 3.5-inch TFT display    

• The 3.5-inch full-colour TFT display features a bar-type tachometer that changes colour as rpm rises or falls. Handlebar switches enable you to easily change displays and information.

Compact, bifunctional LED headlight    

• The new single LED headlight produces a powerful beam with an excellent spread featuring soft edges while giving the XSR a truly distinctive next-generation face.

Quick Shift System (QSS)    

• The new up and down Quick Shifter System enhances the sport riding experience by enabling super-fast upshifts for outstanding acceleration. The downshift function allows smoother shifting to maintain chassis stability even when cornering, to give a more controlled feel when decelerating.
