-
CF (Controlled Filling) die cast, twin spar, diamond-type, aluminum frame
- provides an optimized rigidity balance for sporty handling & excellent stability
- engine is a stressed member of the chassis, allowing a lighter, more compact main frame
- light, agile handling qualities
-
Riding position is one of the most important features of the XSR900 chassis.
- upright, natural riding position offers a balance between sporty riding & excellent rider comfort
-
Key chassis geometry figures include:
- 1440 mm (56.7") wheelbase, 25 degrees of rake & 103 mm of trail
- front to rear weight distribution is 51 / 49%
- lean angle is approximately 50 degrees, highlighting the sporty nature of the XSR900
- chassis dimensions & shape are designed to enhance the qualities of the 3 cylinder engine & to centralize mass & lower the centre of gravity
-
Detachable, round tube steel rear sub frame.
- allows easy access to rear suspension components
- reduces costs in the event of damage
-
Externally mounted, C.F. (Controlled Filling) die cast aluminum, truss-type rear swingarm.
- external design means the swingarm mounts on the outside of the frame spars… not the inside
- external design keeps unit narrower in the seat - fuel tank junction which influences seat height & makes it easier to touch the ground
- lightweight design reduces unsprung weight for superior suspension performance
- excellent rear wheel traction & control
-
Adjustable, 41 mm inverted cartridge style fork offers 137 mm (5.4") of wheel travel.
- adjustments include; 15 mm of spring preload adjustment & 12-way rebound damping
- inverted design benefits include: reduced "unsprung" weight & reduced fork flex since the larger diameter tubes are gripped in the triple clamps
- adjustable design allows the rider to tailor suspension settings to match rider weight, load, road conditions & riding style to maximize suspension performance & handling
-
Lightweight, aluminum upper & lower triple clamps.
-
Adjustable link-type Monocross rear suspension with 130 mm (5.1") of wheel travel.
- rear shock adjustments include: 7-steps of spring preload & 3 turns of rebound damping
-
ABS equipped, dual 298 mm floating front discs squeezed by radial mount, mono-block, 4-piston calipers.
- radial mount design helps to reduce caliper distortion for improved braking performance
- master cylinder uses a 16 mm piston
- excellent stopping power & control with good lever feedback
-
5-position adjustable front brake lever
-
ABS equipped, 245 mm rear disc is squeezed by a lightweight single piston, slide-type Nissin caliper.
-
ABS or Anti-Lock Braking System.
- controlling ECU & hydraulic unit are combined into a single compact unit
- when ABS system senses impending wheel lock-up (via active type wheel sensors) it regulates hydraulic pressure to the point just before the wheel(s) lock-up
- ABS benefits include; excellent control under hard braking or when braking on wet, slippery or loose surfaces
- design reduces weight & centralizes mass
-
Lightweight, cast-aluminum 10-spoke wheels.
- lightweight design reduces unsprung weight for excellent suspension & handling characteristics
- front rim size is MT3.50-17
- rear rim size is MT5.50-17
-
Conventional, tapered aluminum handlebar.
- lightweight & strong
- offers a comfortable, upright riding position for excellent all day riding comfort
- traditional design allows easy replacement to a different "bend" if desired
-
14-litre fuel tank with replaceable aluminum tank covers.
- slim design with great knee grip
- reserve portion of the tank is 2.7 litres (low fuel light illuminates)
- internal electric fuel pump
- exterior replaceable tank covers /side panels… reduce expenses if damaged
-
One piece rider & passenger seat (seat is slightly shorter than FZ-09).
- seat height is 830 mm (32.7")
-
Round, retro design, liquid crystal multi-function meter / instrument.
- functions (all digital) include: speedo, bar-style tachometer, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel gauge, fuel reserve trip meter (counts kilometers since low fuel warning flashed) coolant temp, gear indicator, instant & average fuel consumption, clock, intake air temp, D-mode display, TCS indicator & ECO indicator
- full range of warning lights including ABS & TCS status
- adjustable background illumination
-
Neo-retro style 65/55 watt halogen headlight with retro style aluminum headlight brackets / stays.
- highlights the XSR900's "neo-retro authentic sports styling"
