Greetings, after selling my last bike in 2001 after my twin boys were born, I bought a new 2025 XSR 700 on July the 4th. Even though I had lots of miles in my youth, my last bike was a 1996 V Twin. In many ways I feel like a newb all over again but man it has been nice being back out there again. I'm only a weekend rider for pleasure. Mods done.... Kelpi Exhaust, tail tidy, bullet blinkers, created mini saddle bags from bags designed to wear across your torso, leather grip wraps and a 1 inch bar riser, wired in a phone charger.
Next on the list is to replace these TERRIBLE foot pegs! They suck!! Want to get a wider and more off-road style but contrary to everything I read about this bike before purchase about how there is a ton of aftermarket parts available, I'm finding it VERY DIFFICULT to find mods for this machine, very disappointing or I just don't know what exact hairsplitting words to use to find what I'm looking for.

Runs great! I used to quieter baffle that comes with it and it’s perfectly loud and didn’t negatively affect performance at all, it made it a little better actually.
I’m 6 foot and 245 and it scoots along like a champ. I’ve been up to 125 mph a couple times with no problem and it gets up and goes from any speed without hesitation.

Welcome to the forum. What you’re learning is that XSRs after 2021 have a slimmer aftermarket following and the changes in electrical make many accessories for older Gen I bikes non-applicable. Most hard parts work fine.

Look at pegs for the MT07 or Tenere 700/T7. They should fit and have a wider market.

SoCal is a great place to ride. I’ve spent many miles riding there from the ’80’s through the 2000’s before moving East. Enjoy exploring and consider taking a returning rider course if you haven’t already. Any of the MSF courses is a good way to refresh and hone your skills after the long hiatus. I did that after a 10 year pause and found it more helpful than I thought it would be. I’ve put 500k on since then with only a deer assault and low speed off pavement drops since then. We have to see them, they don’t see us.

Good to know information! I wasn’t sure if parts were interchangeable with the Tenere. I test rode one when choosing this bike. I liked elements of the MT7, the Tenere and this one obviously won but the Tenere was what I almost went with just because how comfortable it was but I liked elements this one best. So I’ll be getting some Tenere foot pegs it seems!
Thanks!!

Agreed on a refresher riding course, already been looking at a couple different options.

I like riding standing up for long periods and the wider the better. My main concern with aluminum ones though is how strong are they really. It's one thing to support the weight they bare while sitting and the occasional standing up briefly, but for 2-10 minutes I'm a tad concerned about snapping off and that would be an ugly crash. LOL

I like these but when it starts offering options for adapters and such, that's where I scratch my head and don't know what to order.
I'm a dufus! I ordered so many SW MOtech parts I forgot it was Puig footpegs I had, sorry! Here's the parts you need. I looked on Revzilla because the Puig website is absolute rubbish and from what I know, Revzilla covers all the States. I have assumed you have a pre-2022 bike:
1st Part: Puig Rider Footpeg Mounts Honda / Yamaha | 5% ($2.04) Off! - RevZilla This is the only bike specific part. Fits where your original footpeg goes.
2nd Part: Puig Relocation Brackets for Adjustable Footpegs - RevZilla This is universal. You have a choice of sizes, I recommend the 46mm (the longer of the two) to give you more room for a chunkier footpeg. Bolts directly to the footpeg mount.
3rd part: Puig Trail Footpegs - RevZilla These are the actual footpegs. Wider than stock but not so wide you have to do foot contortions to change gear (I originally fitted the wider Enduro pegs but they left little room for gear changes)

Additionally, for extra room for chunky boots and the chunkier peg, I fitted this (actually SW Motech this time!): Gear lever Yamaha XSR700 / XT, MT-07 / Tracer also order the extension as the bare aluminium ruins boots! Gear lever tread - SW-MOTECH

Sorry there's no US link for the SW Motech bits, google point blank refuses to let me find a US storeother than Revzilla and they don't appear to stock it!

Thanks for this response and all the links! I will look later since I have a 2025 and your links as you mentioned are pre-22
