Thank you for making this video. I'm at 58k and already sweating on whether there's going to be any major damages to be expected. Watching you ride relatively aggressively also gives me the confidence that the xr gen 1 is really a reliable bike. Cheers mate!
Thanks for the terrific series on the XR! Last year I bought a 2018 model with only 4000 km on the clock. I'm in my 70's and have been riding since I was in my early twenties. I've owned dozens of bikes over the years and the XR still makes me squeal like a kid when I twist the grip.

Hi OTR, ***Thank You*** Very informative series 👍. My XR is running perfectly as well and she’s about to clock up 80k. My only concern at the moment is the stator. I sometimes feel that it’s a ticking bomb just waiting to fail as other reviews have mentioned the same issue at high kilometres. I’ll obviously get it replaced when the time comes l Thanks again for all your efforts documenting and presenting your experiences and knowledge on the Gen 1 XR 👍🎥📺. Cheers.
It's nice to hear your experiences and get the part numbers. It would be great if you had videos of the actual maintenance procedures you performed. I recently had a minor accident on loose gravel & am replacing the side panels. I am having a bit of difficulty getting the metal clips seated, and am looking for a video to show me the tricks of it. It's surprising how many clips and screws hold the panels onto the bike.
Thanks! I've planned to post full maintenance videos, but I paused everything since google never confirmed my address in adsense. It is just frustrating to wait for more than 6 months to finish such an easy procedure.
Thank you for this wonderful review of the xr 1000 Gen 1 . Still the first water pump? Cam chain tensioner original ? No rattling when starting the engine? I barely have 13,000 km and I keep thinking the engine is going to explode ;-) Keep posting videos of this beautiful bike!
Thanks, mate! No other problems on the bike so far (you can watch the second part of this review, about the engine noise). Tensioner is replacen at around 40K km with the manual one, and it never rattled again. Water pump is also original, works great, no leaks. Don't you worry about the engine noise, just ride it properly ;)
@@OneTwoRider What screen do you have on the XR? Tire choice? I think I saw your bike in starigrad in September 2022. I have the manual cam chain tensioner at home and will be installing it in the next few days.

Cao druze, odlican ti je video kao i voznja, pratim te ovde i kanal ti je stvarno na vrhunskom nivou. Jel si probao novog XR-a? Dolazim sa Multistrade 1260s i ovo mi je druga, prodao sam je sad i malo bi promenio. Meni se svideo XR i vozio sam ga ali nikad nisam vozio model kao tvoj vec noviji od 2020te pa ako imas iskustva sta bi ti preporucio, otprilike stil voznje nam je jako slican i idem cesto na duza putovanja. Hvala 😊
Hvala drug, jos uvijek nisam vozio novi XR, ali sudeci po drugim recenzijama, novi je pogodniji za touring (jedino mu sjedalo ne valja), a stari je vise sportski nastrojen (meni draza opcija ;)). Trebao bih testirati novog tokom ove sezone, pa cu postaviti video. Zivio!

Amazing review man, thank you! I have 2 questions regarding the XR gen 1, cuz I never had the change to ride one. 1. Is it heavy when riding? Sat on one and felt heavier than my FZ1, but from what I see from people on internet, it seems really agile and great on track. 2. How is the pillion comfort? I would like something that is better for my girl, on longer trips. Thank you in advance.
Thanks, mate! It really isn't heavy when riding, i.e. same as Yamaha Tracer that I owned earlier. And it is very, very comfy for the pillion. My wife never complained, even on 1.000km per day tours.
