Exhausts Yamaha XSR 900 2016-2020

The Yamaha XSR 900 is a motorcycle that plays on two souls in constant dialogue: the deliberately evocative neo-retro aesthetics, and an uncompromising modern engineering. The inline three-cylinder engine at its heart is one of the most appreciated powerplants in the Yamaha lineup, delivering lively power output and a stock sound that is anything but anonymous. Those who choose this bike do so with full awareness: they seek character, stylistic coherence, and road behaviour that is precise without becoming stressful. A performance exhaust designed specifically for it must respect this philosophy, without altering its nature. You can find all our proposals in the section dedicated to exhausts for Yamaha.

What we offer for the XSR 900 (2016-2020 versions) is a full exhaust system, not a simple silencer to replace the original terminal. On the XSR 900 the original exhaust is designed as a single unit: headers, mid-pipes and final section form an inseparable whole. For this reason our system replaces the entire gas flow path, from the engine outlet to the terminal. The muffler is single, positioned under the engine with a lateral outlet, a solution that perfectly complements the lines of the XSR 900 without adding visual bulk. The connection is made on the original mounting points of the bike, without any structural modifications. The mounting kit is included in the package. We recommend installation by a qualified mechanic, both to ensure correct fitment and to preserve the system's performance over time.

All models in this category are homologated for use on public roads throughout Europe and Switzerland: the homologation certificate is included in the package. It is important to note that, since the original exhaust on the XSR 900 2016-2020 is fitted with a catalytic converter, the new exhaust must be purchased in the catalysed version to maintain full road compliance.

Compared to the stock exhaust, the weight saving is noticeable: removing the original components, often oversized for homologation requirements, lightens the central and lower area of the bike in a measurable way. The sound character changes more distinctly: the Yamaha three-cylinder gains a fuller and rounder voice, with a progression that is felt especially at mid-to-high rpm. This is not a radical transformation, but a sharpening of the sonic character already present in the original engine. In terms of throttle response, optimised flow management can favour greater linearity in power delivery and a more direct and responsive feel throughout the rev range. Working on the entire gas flow path, as with the full exhaust system for the Yamaha XSR 900, allows for more effective back-pressure management compared to simply replacing the silencer.

Every system is handcrafted in Lombardy, in the province of Bergamo, made to order. This is not mass production: each component is machined and assembled by hand, with careful quality control at every stage. Sold directly, with no middlemen, the system comes with a more transparent relationship on both the product and after-sales support, and the people who answer you know these exhausts inside out.

As this is a full exhaust system on a Euro 4 homologated motorcycle, the original catalytic section is also replaced. The catalytic converter is available as an option in the drop-down menu on the product page. Choosing the catalysed version results in no fuelling issues or warning lights, although a brief ECU adaptation period to the new system is normal: during the first rides, minor variations in power delivery may occur, which will resolve themselves naturally. Those who opt for the non-catalysed version should consider that fuelling may not be optimal and that remapping the ECU will likely be necessary to get the best out of the system. The non-catalysed version is intended for track use or contexts where road compliance is not required, within the limits permitted by local regulations.

The dB killer is included as standard. It is not officially removable: its removal invalidates the homologation. For those who require further noise reduction, the No-Noise dB killer is available, featuring an internally welded filter that further reduces decibels without significantly affecting performance. This option is also selectable in the drop-down menu on the product page.

Production times vary depending on the period and workload. Updated lead times are always visible at checkout, before order confirmation, so you can plan accordingly. Tracking information is sent automatically as soon as the package is handed over to the courier.

For any technical questions or information requests, please consult the FAQ section of the website or contact us via the Contacts page or chat. We respond directly and without beating around the bush.

To optimise the ECU as well, our Alientech Powergate 4 remapping kit for Yamaha XSR900 (2016-2026) is available, with up to 4 maps included, calibrated on the bike configuration. The map also removes the MIL warning light, which can come on with the non-catalysed version.

In the product list below you will find all available models for the XSR 900 2016-2020. The differences between variants are mainly aesthetic: silencer shape, material and finish. The catalytic converter and the No-Noise dB killer, where available, are selected from the drop-down menu on the product page.
