  1. In the owner's manual for my 22 9GT there is a menu choice for SUS Sensor Calibration; the calibration is supposed to be performed after any service to the rear suspension. This is a choice on the settings menu. Maybe that just needs to be done.
  2. Oops. If I'd just read thoroughly I could avoid many stupid questions.
  3. Welcome! Looks like your bike is a 2024? GT or GT+? What part of the world do you live in?
  4. For any bike without a kickstarter, I think an important tool to carry is a set of motorcycle jumper cables.
  5. You're right, that close to the light itself you should be past any relay (unless Yamaha did something really strange). Do you suppose the wire color coding could be incorrect for a 2023 in the instructions provided to you by the manufacturer?
  6. All below is just a maybe. The tracer has a brake light relay. Is the brake light signal wire you are tapping into powered by the relay, or have you tapped into a brake light wire coming from a brake light switch before the relay? So I think you should attach the ST2 "brake light wire" to the OUTPUT of the relay - the wire that attaches to the brake light near the physical brake light, the "position light wire" to an always on when ignition is on front position light 12 volt positive (or other always on 12v+ with ignition on source) and the "ground wire" (obviously) to a good ground.
  7. All the replies confirm that I can be warm and toasty this winter. Thanks! To draco_1967, could you tell us a bit more about your home made heated jacket? That's intriguing!
  8. I have a 2022 Tracer 9 GT. I have a Gerbing heated jacket ( max 6.9 amps) and Gerbing heated gloves(2.2 amps for the pair). I will not use the OEM heated grips. I run Denali 2.0 Trioptic lamps (1.6 amps for the pair). Other power consumption is either OEM or trivial. I ran this combination of power consumption on a Honda CB500x, which has, according to reports, a 500 watt charging system. Does anyone know the watt rating of the charging system of the Tracer 9? Has anyone had success with a Tracer 9 with a similar heated gear setup?
  9. I've upped my rpms, too. The Tracer has such a nice torque even at lower rpms - but that's bad for the engine.
  10. Take a look at this thread RPM's and carbon buildup. Do you usually ride at rather sedate RPM's?
  11. I might ask the dealer, who adjusted the valves, how a valve could have burned with a correct valve adjustment?
  12. I wear size 12 boots and found the clearance to get my toe under the shifter too small. I adjusted the length of the shift rod to raise the shifter peg a bit. For me, problem solved.
  13. Question: Would self fusing silicone tape work as well as a dealer installed rubber boot?
  14. Wow. Sometimes the simplest problems are the hardest to decipher. Thanks for posting the answer!
