Ross' JVB Moto Custom Yamaha XSR 700

- After too many nights spent sleeping on the workshop floor and a near vertical learning curve from building his Cagiva flat tracker Ross decided that his next custom would be more of a bolt-on project.
Yamaha's highly accliamed XSR700 seemed the perfect place to start as he'd fallen in love with JVB Moto's Super 7 during the press launch in Sardinia.
The whole JVB kit and SC Project exhaust was fitted here in the Bike Shed after hours with a fairly basic tool kit.... no grinding, welding or messy stuff. If you can put together an Ikea Malm chest of drawers then the Super 7 kit is an easy weekend project.

Where does time go? I swear there’s a sinkhole somewhere or a Bermuda triangle that consumes my waking hours without receipt or acknowledgement. With our big show around the corner the calendar is marked by the first anniversary of me owning my first brand new motorcycle. So of course it’s been fully customised and I’ve rack-up 17,346 glorious miles of adventure.
Have I bollox!
Straight after the XSR 700 launch in 2015 I was hounding Yamaha for a good deal on one - see original review here. At last year’s Bike Shed London show my prize was rolled off the truck and I began to imagine how good summer was going to be, customising and riding one of the best middle weight motorcycles ever made.
Hidden radiators with ducted cooling tracts, handmade aluminium or maybe carbon fuel cell covers and a fancy subframe - I was going to go to town and show these custom builders what a really good XSR looked like. Then I woke up and reality stepped in to shut me up. It’s all well and good fudging around on old shitters but this was a brand new bike and deserved a level of finesse that my diary or short attention span wouldn’t accommodate - a lack of decent workshop facilities provides a valid excuse too.
Bureaucracy also played a pivotal role in shattering my delusions of creative grandeur. As my XSR had been pre-registered abroad as a press vehicle the government agency (VOSA is now DVSA) here in the UK simply couldn’t cope. It was if I’d asked them to give me a numberplate for a North Korean Skud missile launcher. I won’t go into the details as it’d undo progress made in therapy sessions but suffice to say it took 7 months before I could properly own the bike..... more over on www.thebikeshed.cc
"the acoustics are a bit rubbish here so it'll prolly sound crap"
*BRAAAAAP*
I honestly like tbe bulkiness! It really sets a different look, a bit more urban.
Love what you've done to the bike. Great video!
Thanks, although JVB deserve the credit, I just fitted the parts. [Ross]
Very nice. I did a similar job to my XSR, except I had to scrabble around and get all the individual parts myself. Mblaze pins are beautiful!
Thousands of dollars in upgrades.
Didn't ride it..........
LOL
No, but half the fun is modifying, building and working on new projects. The new owner is enjoying the bike as a daily ride.
IKR .... the exhaust is about $1000 alone
I’m getting this after I sell my Tmax 530. What a beauty! 7 months later, I haven’t sold my Tmax…. Lol
Very nice ,, never seen one of these bikes before ,, looks good and guess in the real world of getting from a to be and commuting would be good and looks cool ,, and I like SC pipes as well ,, infact. I like everything cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Simply stunnin!. Nuff said....
Really cool 😎
Good evening I also installed this sc project exhaust. Have you carried out a reprogramming or changed the ecu or relegated the air-fuel ratio? Thank you in advance for your answer
Excelente esa moto quedó muy mejorada y con un aspecto más agresivo
Where are the indicators on this bike?
02.54 Nah! I'll take a leave on Monday! Finish the bike, then ride all day !!!
Can I ask the total cost of all the added kit? Many thanks in advance
Where can I get those tiny 360 indicator light?
Moto Gadget
any idea how to lower the seat height by 2 inches? i dont want to mess with the suspension. one option is to get thinner seat and if necessary, some sub-frame modfication.
Hi Ross,
First of all a lovely bike! I just received my Yamaha together and the Super-7 kit. Could you please give me a link or some guidance for how to paint the parts? Can I paint it right away or should it have some "pre-job" like a scrub with sand-paper, etc?
Best
Dino
Hey Dino, definitely sand and primer the parts first, like you would with regular paint jobs.
Nice Bike
The SC-Project in this version is no Euro4 exhaust ... so guys be careful .... not street legal in europe
It's unusual to get in trouble for non-compliant end-cans in the UK, unless they are insanely loud.
Bike Shed Motorcycle Club
Luck for all the UK biker. In Germany u get really quick in trouble.
I bet that sold quickly.
The exhaust: was it just the end can?
I have subscribed.
Does it fit only 2018 model or all models Yamaha xsr700??
Hi,
Where do we can find the kit please ?
Too bad they don't make those gaiters for the xsr 900
How would someone in the states go about buy this kit? I tried ordering some but it wont allow USA to be a shipping location
Can we use that headlamp for mt09
cool
No bar ends or mirrors
No
Someone buy me that....! 😜
Anyone have an item number for that SC Project pipe?
Never mind, I think I found it: Y14-C21A70S
Ah yes, the magical cnc bending machine
Sounds amazing
That’s the best looking and sounding xsr 700 I’ve ever seen!👍
0:17 Broooo, why does it look so big there? All the other videos i seen, it looks tiny and small. So what gives? Is that legit size? Maybe dude is smaller then average size? But all other videos, seriously, the bike looks to small and so i had to pass on it. This video it looks huge and now i want to get it.
Sometimes I get so confused reading comments that I feel like there is a possibility I have some how been watching a different video then everyone else. Like the guy said a countless amount of times that it’s a kit he got. He did t design it he did t do an amazing job building it the dude didn’t even get to ride the thing before he ended up selling it. But yea totally great looking kit awesome simple understated cool kit. And then takin up a step with the ohlins shocks front and back some sticky nice tires and the great polished Finnish all tied in with the sc it’s so cool
Thats how it should have looked like from the start!!!
Impossible.
I've watched this video 3 times and every time i fall in love. xD Most gorgeous bike i have ever seen. Well done mate!
beautiful bike!!!, I'll buy it next month...LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT...
Beautiful customization just curious how much money you bought the bike for and put into it. Have a feeling by the time you fitted everything you could have just bought a better bike already kitted. I usually budget custom my bike so if/when I upgrade I wont have lost a lot of money.
Can you fix a tail bag to the jvb seat?
Beautiful! I was pleased to see that we will have this bike in the U.S. for 2018. Saw one at the dealer yesterday and it looks much better in person. Still think I prefer the XSR900, but this bike looks great as well.

I got mine the day it arrived. I dig the xsr900, but opted out for the 58mpg.
I still can't believe it took nearly 3 years before it came to the US, the Euros always get the goods.
Yeah, I was surprised it took as long as it did. I'm not in the market for a new bike this year, but I think I will pick up an XSR900 next year. I'm a big guy at 6'1" 220lbs and 900 just seems like it's more up my ally. I've been riding sport bikes for the last 10+ years and I think it's time for a slight change.
Hi!
I would like to ask , the name of lateral parts of the fuel tank, can you tell name and which material'
It´s possible to show me images/ pictures about the tail.
best regards
0:44 Does anyone make a frame that you can bolt there thats completely flat horizontally, so one can put a bench seat? Because if someone can give me website or details if someone does, then im going to unbolt that back park like u see in this video and put a flat frame part if someone makes and sales and im put a bench seat and that bike is mine
I love and hate this bike. Almost perfect, but i think the engine aesthetics are all over the place.
Blacking out that reservoir would be a good idea and just leave it be🙂
Gorgeous details wow. Can't wait to buy a couple super7 bits for my MT.
I know Im randomly asking but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any help you can give me.
@Holden Howard Instablaster :)
@Camilo Moises thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Camilo Moises it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
@Holden Howard no problem :)
That is a Sexy looking "Yammy"...
Subtle but impactful changes with the kit add on the bike really make a big difference..some one will be happy with that purchase for sure.
Well done.
I absolutely love the stock headlight. Stop changing it please
Been on the website and come only the the parts as solo items and not a full kit to order bulk
Not for nothing, to me it looks like the perfect motorcycle for urban and commute, love it . 👍🏽
The front light is not mounted properly right?
Really nice. Sounds great too.
Love buying an inexpensive bike and dumping thousands into it to make it something you could have bought straight from the shop if you got a different model.
Hey Guys, I am searching for the exact exhaust, the only familiar looking exhaust from sc project is this one:
shop.sc-project.com/de-DE/3345_Y27B-C21A70S-Komplette-Auspuffanlage-2-1.htm
Can you tell me whether its the same? If not do I still get the same sc exhaust you guys built in?
Thanks for your help
That kit makes the bike look a whole lot better
Hi Ross. Do you know if it is possible to take out the silencer in the exhaust you have on? I found it on www.scproject-shop.com/carrello.html and it comes with a silencer for EU regulations. I have bought a yamaha xsr 700 and is in doubt whether to buy this exhaust or not. I want the deep killer sound ;)
The link to your build process isn't working anymore, can you guys fix that please?
Great video! Love the bike. Quick question. Noticed the rear indicators had disappeared.
Then you spoke about them briefly at the end of the video. What have you replaced them with and where are they from?
motogadget
SRX600 from the mid-eighties was a much nicer looking machine.
Amazingly I was thinking the same thing while scrolling down!
I prefer the stock version. Short rear and looks shit in my opinion.
Bonjour,
je suis de Belgique , je vais acheter une xsr 700 , je trouve vos modifications superbes , ça change complètement la moto. TOP
Où puis trouver ces accessoires ?
Merci
www.kedo-jvb-moto.com/xsr700-super-7.html
Do they have an option to ship the kit to the United States?
I don't care if everything is in German, I will translate it all for this kit!
Lovely. Rough ballpark for kit price?
Around £2k in parts. (not inc Suspension and exhaust).
Nearly.... www.kedo.com/products/JVB0037.html €1800 for the full kit. I didn't fit the speedo or risers which saves a bit [Ross]
Thanks both
Apart from shorter tail and the headlight it looks the same to me. The shorter tail looks a bit better, but other then that...
And where did the mirrors go? You've traded mirrors for the headlight? :D
when you say light, say how much
I'm new to biking and i don't mean to be ignorant. But what makes the JVB taller (raised) than the stock XSR? Fantastic looking bike btw.
Great video and lovely looking bike. Love the front end. Do they deceiver to the UK? And is there a link to the specific headlight shroud? Thanks
Just perfect
At last, a bike that’s actually designed. And it’s a yammy! Who knew?
How much did this baby sell for?
With headphones sounds like a massive earthquake took place during the entire video lol
Its a great bike standard but what you've added it looks stunning, great work!
Beautiful beautiful motorcycle. 👍🏻
'Just a bit better then the stock one' are you kidding mate?! hahaha, build me one!
I have a question; when u do the tailtidy, is it still possible to keep the double seat?
“ I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one”. “I have to have one”. Then goes & says he hasn’t had a chance to ride & advertises it for sale... SCAM!!!
WOW absolutely stunner bike
I hate this presentation. I need to see the bike from every angle to get a good picture. At least let the camera man go around it when you are done talking.
Hate seems like a strong word. If you want to see the whole bike and more info, it's full covered here. thebikeshed.cc/ross-jvb-xsr700-super-7/
Nice bike! ...what's up with the camera work in this video?
well smart mate.
looks great
wow stunning!
Went to the Bike shed for my first time this Sunday love the place nice coffee and friendly staff . Love the Parking , hopefully will be coming down for a Moto gp watch some time with some friends
Thanks, glad you made it down and enjoyed the place. This year's MotoGP season will have an even better set-up. It's worth booking in advance if you want a table.
So nice.
Nice bike
Very nice
unless Yamaha comes out with an SR500 in the next few years, I'm getting one of these XSR700s
very nice
I’ve been trying to find that sc project exhaust for the xsr700 but I can’t find it here in the U.S.?
Jacob Giraldo The Vintage Spoke sells some of KEDO's (JvB's manufacturer representative) stuff. I'd check with them.
nice custom, i will give it 9/10
Hey Ross, I am currently converting my MT-07 into a Super Seven. I kind of fancy the SC Project exhaust over the Arrows exhaust that Jens mounted. Can you give me the name / number of the SC project exhaust?
Sure thing, there's a review with links and details here. thebikeshed.cc/sc-project-xsr700-exhaust/
I did like the Arrow but the SC Project is a bit tidier... although he baffle isn't removable.
Thanks Ross, I can't wait to have my built ready. I think it suits me well: kettenritzel.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/krcc_benzingespracc88ch_jvb-moto_4.jpg ;-)
I love the original seat but great work with other mods
Did you flash the ECU after installing the exhaust? If so what flash kit did you use?
I'm running Arrows headers,custom midsection and a fake Akra can,K+N, and a 3D printed airbox lid, perfect fueling, no flash needed!
Can you leave the pillion foot pegs on and still carry a passenger? Is that pipe legal in Australia? If so I'm all in 👌
If your pillion is really slim... and a very close friend... or someone who you'd like to be closer to. Not sure on the pipe but they're fully EC friendly. www.sc-project.com/yamaha_xsr700_e.htm
looks worse than stock imo
Personally I like the somewhat bare bones look of the bike. Back to the street fighter minimalist design. If I wanted a bunch of covers I'd have done an MT07.
Maybe my next bike to buy. Amazing bike for this price
Fuckin beautiful! Well done bro
donde consigo ese faro porfavor
How much for the whole JVB kit?
too bad no inverted forks.....
I love what you did with the bike! I purchased this kit recently and I was hoping you could give me some insight on how you mounted the license plate holder underneath the rear fender? You mentioned in your blog that you "bent the mount flat and used a very thin aluminium plate, curved slightly and positioned it below." Would you happen to have any pictures of the rig or could you explain in a bit more detail on how this was accomplished? Thanks you so much Ross!
Bruce Wee Hi. Did you manage to fix the licence plate holder just like Ross did?
I am trying to do the same in my Xsr.
All best
@@jeronimojulianocarvalhofer4530 looks as though we are all looking for the same answer, Did you work it out yet at all~?
@@davecomplin4089 Hi David, I have inverted the holding piece,
and placed it under the rear fender instead. then, I used 2 bolts to fix it.
@@jeronimojulianocarvalhofer4530 can you then see the bolts through the mudguard/rear fender?
where could I find the kits dude???
