Hi all, can't wait for Friday 1st June...a new RED XSR will be mine. Have roadtested, watched so many videos and read articles galore.

Welcome, Ian. You'll enjoy the XSR - it's equally at home on quiet back roads and fast main roads. The red ones look great - almost as good as Forest Green!

Looks fantastic! Nice purchase!:smile2: Do you have any mods planned!?
Here is a list of mods carried out or are in the process of being carried out. I was one of the fortunate ones to have the £750 package of goodies from Yamaha.
1) Rear sets
2) Radiator Cover (grill part sprayed with Simonize Tough Black)
3) Frame bungs
4) Chain cover
The above have arrived and are fitted
5) Tank grips
6) Smoke coloured Fly screen
7) Fork Gaiters
5 to 7 not yet arrived from Yamaha as yet.
Other updates....
8) Lust Racing Lowering kit (actually just a spacer that fits under the rear spring)
9) Yamaha heated grips.

I'm waiting to fit the screen so I can decide if the Gilles Tooling Speedo relocation bracket fits. If not then I will make my own to suit.
A few photos attached

I think the wait is probably over by now as the OP was 3 years ago! I'm closing this thread now....
