Based on the popular MT-09, the XSR900 boasts the perfect blend of sporty performance and timeless heritage styling. For 2022, the XSR received an all-new 889 cc high-torque engine and lightweight aluminum chassis for more thrilling performance and razor-sharp handling. Coupled with best-in-class electronic rider aids and radical next-generation design, the XSR900 is a no-compromise motorcycle that inherits the same level of unconditional passion of even the most die-hard riders!
The newly developed 889 cc liquid-cooled 3-cylinder engine is lighter, quicker and more powerful, with more torque at lower rpm. A new intake and exhaust produce a beautiful sound that enhances the feeling of acceleration. New fuel injectors give increased efficiency, while optimized gear ratios and a refined assist-and-slipper clutch match the higher output of the EU5-compliant engine.
All-new lightweight CF aluminium die-cast frame
The entirely new compact CF die-cast aluminum frame design is a modern take on the Deltabox layout. A higher level of chassis stiffness improves rider feedback and stability while increasing the dynamic riding window. Optimized swingarm pivot structure, light and slim chassis, and a more laidback feel make the new XSR 900 a welcome day-to-day partner.
NEXT GENERATION DESIGN & STYLE
Quality and attention to detail is obvious from every angle, and it is clear that no corners have been cut and no compromises were made by designers in their mission to build this next generation Sport Heritage model. For a qualitative, yet race inspired image, the cockpit is enhanced with a machined top triple clamp, drilled fork caps and an aluminum XSR logo. Other features include an embossed aluminum rear underplate, forged foot controls, black brake reservoirs and bar end mirrors showing that this is a motorcycle that is ready to make an impression – and not just with the rider.

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.
