LSL Adjustable Footpegs on XSR900

Yamaha XSR900 — neo-retro style, powerful engine, capable suspension, high riding position, traction control. Technically, this bike can be anything — comfortable urban, sporty, aggressive, extreme, fast. The riding position on the motorcycle is upright, which limits the bike’s capabilities, for example, it’s uncomfortable to drive faster than 130 km/h, it’s not very convenient to steer actively at high speed. With the help of adjustable footrests, you can adjust the position of the legs and the inclination of the body, respectively.

The main problem with the installation of new footrests is that they are mounted on the swingarm pivot, which has to be removed, so you need to lift the motorcycle by the frame. The XSR900 is based on the MT-09, but there is no central stand on the XSR, as in the MT model. You can lift a motorcycle with the help of jacks (as we did in the video), by its tail, if there is a hook, or use an aftermarket center stand.

The adjustable footpegs LSL 2-Slide are supplied with assembled and lubricated lever mechanisms, the remaining parts must be installed by yourself. It is very important to secure all screws that aren’t held by nuts with threadlocker, otherwise they can get out while driving. Do not use the strongest threadlocker, because then it will be difficult to disassemble the pegs when you need it, as bolts are stainless steel and strip easily.

Installing the pegs on the XSR900 is quite a complicated job, so we hope our video will be useful for everyone who is ready to do it.
