I looked hard but not that I can see.

210 right side and 230 left side off memory.

So this will sound strange but on a rear work stand and a level slab my left footpeg is 20mm lower than the right one. I have dismantled and can see no evidence of anything not being as it should be, I cannot feel this whilst riding but it can be seen when bike is parked up and others have noticed. Has anyone else found this?

So my 2019 already has heated grips but I take my life in my hands when I’m trying to turn them on . Contemplating some new Five GTX Heated gloves and maybe eventually try some aftermarket heated grips with safer activation design if gloves don’t deliver. My gut feeling is they might perform better by heating back of the hands but battery time might be limiting factor? Time will tell.

What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?

Definitely talk to a reputable suspension shop imo. The springs in my last three bikes needed doing but I’m a fat bastard @ 107 kg.

Was hoping someone had tried the KLIM Adventure GTX as they are allegedly good for walking in but they are hella expensive! Was thinking wearing goretex boots good for walking in would save packing extra boots on tour. A stars web getting good comments.

Finished fitting Ohlins today, will put up a video of my efforts to date once I am happy the bike is displayable lol. -
New Tracer GT owner researching seat options
Darren69 replied to metallion's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Can you move your arse back in the seat to stretch the legs a bit or is one sort of locked in to a possie? I have read elsewhere that someone couldn't push their butt back with the Corbin. I do this alot on longer rides. -
Did he wear Sidi?

Great post and yes, as the fine art of maintenance goes out the window so does the requirements. I do remember a mechanic mate telling me this some years back now you mention it. My worry is introducing a small hole to an alloy casting might cause fatigue cracking if not drilled and tapped in the correct place.
-
So, showing my age here but have always been sad that grease points gradually disappeared. Any brains trust fitted nipples to appropriate places? Maybe rear linkages etc?
-
If my Michelin 6 ever wear out lol, im going to try Dunlop Q3+.
-
Am going Evotech for that, got it covered pardon the pun.
-
Dear brains trust- as the resevoir is in a prime location to be damaged has any of you found a good product that protects the resevoir?
-
These look great, good video to GG thanks

Meh, I've never seen Armaguard following a hearse
-
They way I see it, if I get a few wet patches on the undersuit but stay mostly dry and warm through a full day of decent rain, they'll be a success compared to the sponges masquerading as wet weather gear already selling lol. Very well made with love IMO.
-
Tell me about your chosen handguards if not standard. Am looking at Puig. Am thinking a bit more protection from wet and cold maybe.
-
Will follow but probably going Corbin when finances allow
-
Just purchased some KLIM Badlands A3 pants on special, still very exxy, hoping they work as planned for next biblical wet ride to Phillip Island lol, just need some waterproof boots and decent gloves then the weather can do what it likes (as it does).
-
Spiegler really leading the suggestions! No HEL comments which surprises me a bit.
-
Im gradually buying Klim Badlands gear after a VERY wet ride to Phillip island motogp last October, the bmw gear held water perfectly lol. I will say i was never cold. I doubt anything would keep you dry in persistent torrential conditions.
