Thank you! Thank you so much for providing an excellent product along with excellent service. We’ve been recommending KELPI to everyone that asks. 👊🏽.

Stock seat on these is pretty funky. Can’t argue with you there.

Very cool. I believe I’ve seen your bike online just from what you are describing. Racefit makes an excellent product. Have seen a few in person on various bikes. Cheers man.

Thank you! Appreciate the positive comment. Tried to keep it clean and not overdo it. Seat is probably my favorite modification for these bikes.

@@ridewithKY Agreed I'm going to do the same for mine it was either corbin or kelpi . Have you seen the corbin seat ? i put a little cowl around the light and put regular mirrors cause those bar end made the bike like 42" wide rally hard to lane split. next is exhaust and seat . I have video of my bike on IG at the same handle as here .

I have seen the Corbin and it’s nice of course but I think I prefer the KELPI. However, anything is better than the stock seat. 😂. I’ll make sure to check out your instagram. Appreciate you sharing your experiences and knowledge.

Thank you very much!

I spy a Kelpi scrambler 👁👃👁

Thank you so much as always!

Great. Everybody seems to be happy with their KELPI parts. How is the black finish holding up on yours? Thanks for watching! A lot more XSR content on the way.

@ridewithKY sorry, I meant black XSR 900. I have the stainless exhaust, too, but I did contemplate on going with the cerakoted one, but I like the look of the welding on the stainless one too much which swayed my judgment in the end.

Same. Prefer the welds to be visible on these exhausts.

Well thank you for continuing to watch. I guess it’s like anything else where you just get better with practice. Of course there is still much to improve on. Hopefully as I get better equipment and get better at recording/editing, the videos will continue to improve. Good to hear you are also enjoying your KELPI exhaust. It’s certainly much safer to have some kind of exhaust while commuting through traffic. Again, thank you very much for continuing to view. 🙏🏽.

@@ridewithKY btw, how's the viewing angle of the mirrors? I really like the look of the inverted mirrors but I'm constantly checking for cops since my area has a ton of ninjas with badges that sneak up on you.

@rafaelbondoc2312 any inverted mirror is not going to be as good functionally as a mirror. It’s useable for sure but you’ve got to move your head around a bit to really see where you want to see. Whereas mirrors mounted traditionally you can keep your head pretty much stationary and see everything you need to.

@@ridewithKY That’s what I figured it could be, thanks for responding! Could be worth it still as I’ve clipped a couple of mirrors filtering…

Awesome! Can’t go wrong with Kelpi, that’s for sure. Use my coupon code: “ridewithky” for 5% off at Kelpi.

@@ridewithKY Just ordered the seat today! 👀

@Glitch_II right on! You are going to love it. Kelpi does a great job offering a quality seat for these bikes. Won’t be disappointed that’s for sure.

Thank you!

Sorry you had to give your 2021 up. Glad this video series has been helpful to you and has assisted you in deciding what modifications to do. We are all in the same community so it’s always good to share information with each other.

Thank you so much!

Thank you. We thought it would be helpful to provide a visual for the inside of the catalytic converter. There’s a big difference in restriction when it comes to catalytic converters. A 600+ cell brick (OEM cats) is going to be very restrictive compared to a 100 or even 200 cell cat. Initially we were exploring options to de-cat the KELPI exhaust but now seeing how low the cell count is, I don’t think it’d make a difference. Glad your Roadsitalia exhaust worked out for you. I haven’t seen that one yet, but will check it out tonight. We are looking at the Ermax pan also, it kind of completes the cafe racer look for these bikes. Thanks so much for watching and for your support. 🙏🏽.

Yes sir! Thanks for letting me record the process and progress for this bike. 🙏🏽

@@ridewithKY yessir! Might have a couple of things I want to do to it still. But now I’m hoping to add another bike to the fleet sooner than later 😂

If one bike is good then two is even better. 🔥.

Especially after you lose that humongous seat. 😂.

Nice. You won’t be disappointed with the seat. We’ve seen that lower fairing and am certainly considering it at this point. It’ll really finish off the bike. Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the compliment! We both have background in mechanical work in the automotive field, however, neither of us claim to be experts or professionals. Haha! I try to keep the garage clean, much more peaceful that way. Thank you again for watching and for your support.

We did not. At the recommendation of the tuner, we deleted the o2 sensor.

Thank you! Looks much better with the modifications. Given your description I think this bio would suit you perfect. Has plenty of performance but is also relatively comfortable. For long trips I would say the wind buffering might get to be a little bit much but you can add a windscreen. The seat is also pretty hard for this type of bike so again for long road trips you may want to swap that out. For an in town or in city situation these bikes are light and nimble enough for you to navigate tight quarters easily. In the naked Japanese bike segment, this is easily the best looking. Hope that helps, thank you for watching! 👊🏽.

hell yeah, think I'm even more sold on this bike now. thanks for the in depth response

You won’t be disappointed. If there’s any other questions I can answer for you, please reach out. Happy to help!

This is just the kit from S2 Concept in France so I don’t have the exact dimensions of the components. MT09 is a sweet bike too for sure!

@@ridewithKYwell I made the switch! Picked up the xsr yesterday and ordered the clip-on kit this morning 😂

@kforeal6809 haha love to hear it! You are going to enjoy the XSR greatly and will really start enjoying it with the clip-ons. Changes the whole bike going to clip-ons.

SC makes a good exhaust for these bikes. It’s lighter and flows a little better because it has no catalytic converter. That being said it is a louder exhaust. Last I checked the SC is more expensive. SC in my experience is also hit or miss quality. In this case I’d probably go with KELPI, but I don’t think you’d be wrong for going with SC.

It’s definitely noticeable. I’ll make sure to comment on that in the next video when I take it for a spin.

Unfortunately the subframe is different on the MT09’s so it would not fit.

Unfortunately I don’t. We ended up just changing the whole mirror to some Kelpi’s.

Correct. That’s the shorty from KELPI. Use my coupon code “Ridewithky” for 5% storewide at KELPI.

Absolutely. I think it’s more comfortable with the clip-ons because the wind buffering isn’t as bad.

@@ridewithKY aright thx man

@enderzebak2863 anytime! Glad to help:

I agree. Not a fan of the cat.

It actually has a VCYCLENUT flash on it now. I’ll be doing a ride along video soon.

@@ridewithKY subscribing now looking forward to that!

Thank you so much!

Any questions you are more than welcome to ask here bro.

@@ridewithKY looks like you guys are out of Sac? I’m in Chico. Just got a 2024 xsr 900. How’s the seat holding up from Kelpi? Did you guys install the shorty exhaust? Is it still doing that buzzing? Does it have a baffle? What fender eliminator kit did you use?

@tonyferreira8489 no problem man. 1. Seat is holding up, the parts from KELPI from what I have seen are high quality. 2. It is the shorty 3. It does buzz 4. No baffle 5. It’s a TST tail tidy

April fools day is over man.

​@@ridewithKYThe XSR 900 is made for you. 🦄🏳️‍🌈

Ok. 😂.

@@ridewithKY Yes! 🤣
