ENGINE

• Advanced Crossplane Crankshaft Concept Engine

The XSR900 features a thrilling 847cc liquid-cooled inline 3-cylinder, DOHC, 4-valve-per-cylinder Crossplane Crankshaft Concept engine based on the MT-09. With a 78mm x 59.1mm bore and stroke and 11.5:1 compression ratio, the compact motor produces a torquey and quick-revving engine character.

• Advanced Ride-by-Wire Throttle with D-MODE

The XSR900 is equipped with Yamaha’s Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) for precise throttle control as well as Yamaha’s selectable D-MODE which allows the rider to adjust engine character on the fly. STD Mode is set to accommodate a wide range of riding conditions, A Mode gives the rider a sportier throttle response in the low-to mid-rpm range, and B Mode lets the rider enjoy a softer throttle response.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

• Compact, Sporty Chassis

Underneath the sleek bodywork, the aluminum frame features a sport-oriented wheelbase with rake and trail geometry that works with the compact 3-cylinder engine to achieve light and nimble handling.

• Adjustable Suspension

Both front and rear suspension systems feature spring preload and rebound damping adjustments for a truly customizable ride. Up front, an inverted fork with 41mm inner tubes provides 5.4 inches of travel while the rear linkage-type monoshock uses a nearly horizontal layout for improved mass-centralization, along with 5.1 inches of rear wheel travel.

• Powerful Braking with ABS

The XSR900 provides exceptional braking power thanks to sportbike-spec front brakes that consist of paired floating 298mm discs with radially-mounted 4-piston calipers and a 245mm rear disc. ABS works to prevent wheel lock under hard deceleration.
