Collection: Yamaha XSR700

The Yamaha XSR700 is a motorcycle that blends simplicity with personality, combining the proven CP2 engine with classic-inspired styling. Its approachable nature and timeless design make it a favourite among riders who want a machine that’s fun to ride and easy to customise. At Kelpi Custom Moto, we supply upgrades that enhance the XSR700’s character without compromising its balance, giving riders the freedom to shape a bike that feels genuinely their own.

A stainless exhaust system is one of the most meaningful upgrades you can make to the XSR700. The bike’s lively parallel twin benefits greatly from improved airflow and reduced overall weight, creating a more responsive and engaging ride. A stainless system also provides a cleaner aesthetic and a more refined exhaust note, complementing the bike’s retro-inspired lines while subtly adding performance. It’s the kind of modification that feels completely natural on the XSR700 — practical, stylish and rewarding every time you twist the throttle.

Because the XSR700 appeals to riders who value craftsmanship, many choose to personalise the seat. Hand-crafted custom seat trims bring a premium touch to the bike, using high-quality materials and detailed stitching to reinforce its heritage look. Beyond appearance, these trims offer improved durability and long-distance comfort, especially for riders who enjoy longer day trips. They’re an easy way to add a sense of individuality without changing the bike’s overall silhouette.

The cockpit is another area where thoughtful upgrades can make the XSR700 feel more tailored. Aftermarket handlebars and grips allow riders to dial in the perfect riding position, whether they want something more upright for relaxed cruising or slightly lower for a sportier stance. Quality grips provide better tactile feedback and comfort, helping the rider feel more connected to the bike’s natural agility. Small ergonomic refinements like these can transform the feel of the XSR700 over longer rides.

Bar-end mirrors also suit the XSR700 incredibly well. Their streamlined design fits neatly with the bike’s minimalist aesthetic, replacing the bulkier factory mirrors with something cleaner and more stable at speed. They offer improved rearward visibility and help complete the XSR700’s modern-retro look.

Lighting upgrades are another simple but significant way to modernise the XSR700. LED lighting — particularly indicators — provides a sharper, brighter signal while giving the bike a more contemporary appearance. LEDs blend seamlessly into both the modern components and retro details of the bike, offering improved visibility for everyday riding.

All Kelpi Custom Moto components are E-marked and road-legal in most countries, making them suitable upgrades for riders who want quality parts without regulatory guesswork.

Customising a Yamaha XSR700 is about enhancing a motorcycle that already communicates its personality clearly. With carefully chosen upgrades like stainless exhaust systems, hand-crafted custom seat trims, improved lighting and refined cockpit components, riders can create a bike that feels both classic and contemporary. Kelpi components are designed for riders who appreciate thoughtful design, quality construction and a more individualistic style of customisation — upgrades that elevate the XSR700 without changing its soul.
