According to the Yamaha XSR900 (RN80) Official Owner’s Manual Maintenance Specifications, the 2022–Present Yamaha XSR900 (RN80 Heritage CP3) (chassis RN80/BEA) requires 2.8 L (2.96 US qt) of SAE 10W-40 (JASO MA2, API SG or higher) engine oil for a drain-only change and 3.2 L (3.38 US qt) with filter service (5GH-13440-80 / HF204). Standard solo cold tire pressure is 250 kPa / 2.50 bar / 36 PSI front (120/70ZR17 M/C (58W)) and 290 kPa / 2.90 bar / 42 PSI rear (180/55ZR17 M/C (73W)), paired with 3× NGK LMAR9A-9 spark plug(s) and a YTZ10S battery.
Drain only: 2.8 L (2.96 US qt)
R 290 kPa (2.90 bar)
Est. Range: ~280 km (174 mi)

4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Redesigned for 2022 (RN80, also underpinning the XSR900 GP), Gen 2 adopted a YZR500-inspired Deltabox frame, Brembo radial master cylinder, cruise control, bar-end mirrors, 810 mm seat, and the 890cc CP3 engine (3.2 L oil vs 2.7 L on 2016–2021 847cc RN43 models).
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Standard up/down quickshifter cuts and slipper-clutch downshifts thrive on shear-stable full-synthetic SAE 10W-40 JASO MA2 oil; refill 3.2 L with a 5GH-13440-80 / HF204 filter.
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Because the RN80 XSR900 stretches its swingarm 55 mm over the MT-09 (yet stays shorter than the Tracer 9), it uses a dedicated 118-link 525 chain—verify link count before cutting or ordering.
- Factory forged-aluminum bar-end mirrors widen total handlebar span significantly—watch doorway clearances when wheeling into tight garages and use an oversize bike cover.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What oil volume and spark plugs fit the 2022+ Yamaha XSR900 (RN80)?
Service refill is 2.8 L without filter or 3.2 L (3.38 US qt) with spin-on filter 5GH-13440-80, paired with three NGK LMAR9A-9 spark plugs.
Why does the 2022+ XSR900 feel calmer at highway speed than an MT-09?
Its 55 mm longer swingarm (1,495 mm wheelbase), lower 810 mm sit-in saddle, and slightly forward reach weight the front SpinForged wheel for rock-steady high-speed sweepers.
What are the cold tire pressures and valve interval for the XSR900?
Cold inflation is 250 kPa (36 PSI) front and 290 kPa (42 PSI) rear, and valve clearance inspection is only required every 40,000 km (26,600 mi).
