Let me put it this way: if my girlfriend, or my son, got into bikes and dropped some H4 LED kit in their bike, I'd ask them to rip it out and toss it immediately, the money spent be damned. I say this because I work in the field of vehicle lighting, and I've seen more than enough information, much of it under NDA, to prove to me that H4 LED retrofit kits are bad ideas at least for another few years.

----

> Rather, I'm basing justification off of ~30 hrs of night riding (including dense PNW fog) in which I was happy with the product.

Decades of research in the field of automotive lighting has shown time and time again that people's subjective impressions of headlamp performance are completely at odds with objective headlamp performance. In other words, people really have no idea what's acceptable and unacceptable when it comes to headlamp performance.

>I don't know what you have against LED's

Read my posts again. I got nothing "against" LEDs. That's why I suggested JW Speaker LEDs (and Truck Lite LEDs). I do have something against poor implementations of LEDs, such as any sort of H4 LED kit, and LEDs from Sylvania that don't change in intensity when you mash the brake pedal.

>but they are becoming a mainstay in the automotive industry

Yep, I know, because I work in this industry.

>because they're brighter and more efficient than halogens which is why I've stayed with this bulb.

Are they? The SAE test contradicts your point.

>You're totally right. Couldn't agree more. I go into every single purchase I make with a healthy bit of skepticism and I do my research. In this case I read through dozens of product reviews to see if this really was a reliable piece of kit, specifically relating to motorcycle applications. In this case it is and I'm happy with the performance.

So, you trust the average Joe on the Internet to provide you with informed opinions about equipment that could possibly mean the difference between life-and-death? Most people driving on the road don't even know to shoulder check for motorcyclists, but you trust them to decide what's acceptable and unacceptable equipment for your motorcycle? Can someone insert some sitcom laughter here?

How many of these reviews were authored by someone with actual industry experience, and who weren't trying to sell you something? I bet that number is 0. I can also tell you that I have actual industry experience, and got nothing to sell you except verifiable facts and figures, but you get a discount--they're free!

This is the LED brake light bulb you can buy at your local parts store. It has a 4 star rating, and 630 customer reviews. 4 stars seems awfully high for something that doesn't light up when you mash the brake pedal. Perhaps the average person on the Internet has no idea what they're talking about? I can literally show you a video of me plugging in these LEDs in my car, pressing the brake pedal, and there's 0 change in intensity.

>Maybe. I guess we'll see. Ride safe buddy.

Don't worry about emailing them. I already found straight lies on their website.

>The 3-1/2" DOT-approved LED fog lights are designed to fit select vehicle makes and models

Let's see what the government has to say about "DOT approved."

>As a matter of information, your use of the words "DOT approved" reflects a common misconception. We have no authority to approve or disapprove lighting equipment.

>The phrase "DOT/SAE approved" should never be used.

So...the company doesn't even have the slightest idea about how safety regulations work in the US. But we're supposed to blindly trust them! Gotcha.

Look into the evotech tail tidy, the graves one is $60, has no light for the plate, and makes you cut your plastic and is just a flimsy bracket. The evotech one is an aluminum replacement with a light and it's like £90.

I went with CRG bar end mirrors, the LS model. They're pricy at $50 each, but the quality is outstanding, huge visibility upgrade and they tuck in when needed.

As a huge tip, you can mount them to the inside section of the stock handlebar end weights! That was huge news for me, because I didn't want to lose the weights for vibration damping. I'd have never figured that out without finding an obsure YouTube video. You need to make some spacers to make it work.

Best of luck!

I'm in the same boat as you about the pipes. I like the stock matte black look enough to hold off. The bike is faster than I am still, anyway.

I'm about 6'5" and about 220 (196cm and 100kg) and I'm using the stock seat. I added the [OEM tank pads] (https://www.amazon.com/2016-2018-YAMAHA-XSR900-SIDE-TANK/dp/B07FJRDJBX), which fixes the oddly shaped tank a bit, and lets my knees fit better around the tank. I was out on a 2 hour ride this weekend without any bum issues.

Been looking into adding a corbin seat as well, but hasn't really been a priority since I fit ok anyways.

(First post in Reddit ! \^\^)


I love your XSR in blue ! I might buy one by the end of the summer... :D

Can you confirm this is the same as yours ?

u/BigRedBallz · 1 pointr/xsr900

Don't have any pics handy, but...

https://www.amazon.com/Hurricane-HURRICANE-Swallow-MT-09-only-HB0294B-10/dp/B0171PT96W

Don't order from amazon though. They're half that price if you go through japan.webike.net They really are perfect for me and I commute almost daily on the xsr.

u/st3ph3n · 1 pointr/xsr900

Cheap ones from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071S21FV8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're... OK. Not convex lenses, and they have a weird blue tint that's supposed to cut down glare. They clamp directly onto the factory bar end weights though, which is nice. I actually just replaced them with some different ones that are convex and can be folded.

u/zeebie7 · 3 pointsr/xsr900

No license plate light. Any recommendations?

Here's what I've got:

K&N drop in
Yamaha frame sliders
Yamaha radiator guard
Yamaha rear cowl
Graves tail tidy
Bike master DC bar end mirrors
[K&S signals](K&S Technologies Black Satin Aluminum Marker Lights - Round #3 with Smoke Lens - Dual Filament 25-8631 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AC6VQZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_43FLyb10B50VS)

Let me know what you guys think! I love the lights and mirrors, and the tail tidy was essential for sure.

u/BenTwan · 1 pointr/xsr900

So a combination of these:

Took less than five minutes to clear the VSS error code from not turning TC off.

Ohlins Shock Spanner Wrench https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GX9218S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MTJNDbDKDQJEN

The OEM one is terrible. It’s way easier with the ohlin’s spanner. It has teeth on both sides so you can push or pull.

u/oceanoflust · 1 pointr/xsr900

Guessin they're these.


Just over the $20 with shipping but honestly I'm not sure what the big difference between the chinesium and asv/crg. Guessing ASV replacement is nice but if you aren't tracking (doubt too many trackdays for the XSR) I don't think there's a point. Also can't stand the branding of both all over their shit but I don't have first hand experience with anything besides the stock levers so my opinion is probably worthless.
