Hello forum, I wish you well and awesome rides in 2024. Moderators, I think this is the right sub-forum to post this. If not, please move to the correct place. My question is related to the new v2.40 version that came out on December 27th. I just saw it and decided to go for it. Installation is easy though it takes a few minutes to complete. The problem is, I really don't know where to find the release notes. As I can't ride at the moment, the 1st think I could test and look for is that now, MyRide - Link APP connects to WiFi and BT without me needed to force it on the phone which didn't happen quite often before. For me this is already a plus, since I often found myself in need to take the gloves, open the jacket, take the phone out, connect and gear up again. NOT good on the rain after stopping for fuel for example and it happened EVERY TIME, obviously Could not find anything different on the menus from a quick inspenction. I don't know if this updates also mess up with fuel/air mix or other mechanical stuff. So, anyone knows something about v2.40? I know it is not yet available on every country. Note: the file NAME "006-B3195-00.update" is the same as previous update for me but it is a newer version. The last update date was the give away clue.

I noticed that, assumed it's the slip assist or something but as far as I recall it happens if I start the bike and start riding on cold engine (which I rarely do) and also just in first gear but I only use the clutch on 1st gear anyway because the quick shifter is there to be used

Well, the GT+ tracer9 has them factory fitted. But if they're the same for the other Yamaha current models, I recommended them. Obviously, if there's cheapest option doing the same the choice I would do was based on practical use; these don't need another plastic controller hanging on the handle bar.

Yes, the touring screen. Those extra bits on the side really work. I have the touring screen because it was an offer but I confess I am surprised with this one so I'll keep it.

Has anyone noticed the cornering lights are nearly useless. I think mine are not properly aligned and I wonder how can I do that. I know lights can be adjusted including the cornering lights. I just don't know how because it's relatively new stuff and they probably have to be aligned to match low/high beams. TIA for your answers.

For the arms you'll need the larger not taller, Yamaha windshield. It has plastic where the original is cut on the sides. I had the same issue and comment on that already, I think. It's not taller so you might still want that deflector on top. With the seat in lower position I thought about it but even at 180cm tall I think it'd be in front of my eyes which I don't think I want. I had a lot worse and this is actually great in comparison to other bikes. I could try seat in higher position but it's really bad to the point it hurts tights. Otherwise it's fine. But to me far is your close as USA is a LOT bigger than Portugal. I'm use to sporty suspension so I also don't find it too hard as everyone does. But they did condensed settings on the GT+ so they might have make it softer in street mode to address the complaints. Take this with a grain of salt though it it the same suspension as far as I know. Now that I'm thinking about it I thing Yamaha's were always setup perfectly for me. I never had issues with levers, suspension, seat height foot pegs... I mean solo riding only. 2 up and loaded it's another thing but just preload on the back has been enough (thank god GT+ has a knob for that )

So wait you get a ticket if above speed limit announced for the cases even if below the road speed limit? Am I interpreting right?

I have the yamaha's side cases and the 43L... 45L top box (i forgot but it is not the big one). 1st thing I did after leaving the shop was going up to 160km/h (roughly 100mph). Silky straight, no steering wobble, nothing. Granted, I'll never cruise at those speeds with the wife (which is when I'll use cases) so, I'm good. Only thing I worry about it the preload at the back that I ALWAYS forget to set when I load the bike. Even the wife notices it! The tracer 9 gt+ just gets better the more I ride it and that's owners should think about it. It's all about enjoying it. Yamaha did make a "transparent" bike. Start, steer, forget. I think I just came up with something to put on a t-shirt

The new Suzi's look like a great deal. And they nailed the looks. But at the same price of the tracer, I'd still chose the tracer. The ACC works great and I don't need the extra ponies from Suzuki.

You have an option in the GT+ at least, to recalibrate the suspension. I only used min in street mode and 1 or 2 up with or without luggage seems to be comfortable enough. I did the 1000kms in 3 days and at first I felt the same but after the break-in period which I can't specify it got more plush. It's either that or it learned about the terrain as I ride. I do feel when I enter less smooth roads it's not as harsh anymore. Never tried sport more than 10m but it was harder and only suited to smoother tarmac. But it is not needed for most situations. Same with the brake lever. There are reviews about the wood feel. It does get a lot better with time and though it is like hugging a tree at start, fact.

Ride365 is on point. It seems that you'll need only plastics and minor stuff because the frame looks good, engine looks good... I'd repair it and probably keep it though I'm biased as I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my T9GT+ Worse case scenario trade it for something else, after repaired. The new Kwacks look good (to me) and comfy which is probably the only 4 cylinder I'd buy at this point.

Owner of the new GT+ for 3 weeks but actually only rode it for 3 days straight. Now it's with me again. Regarding Garmin app, don't even bother. My 20 years old (or so) Zumo 550 does better and it's already falling apart with a bit of duck tape and pencil bits as buttons. Original battery (yes, really). That's all you guys need to know about the Garmin app. The ACC however... The ACC works wonders. It does NOT replace you being aware and of course, a bike falls to the side so yeah, not the same as a car in traffic. According to Yamaha, it'll never apply throttle or decelerate more than 0.3G. Enough to still feel the push/pull but manageable. Just keep your hands on the handle bar 😛 If the difference in speed is too much when someone cuts you off (for example) a big orange alarm will flash on the dash. Unlike cars that won't tip to the side, it won't work below 30kph and above 160Kph. It really works VERY well, even if in front there's another motorcycle. I only use it in motorways for safety reasons. It's awesome to give the right hand a rest every now and then. The manual does mention odd shaped vehicles in front and corners as things that might make ACC weird so, again, hands on the handlebar. But this really isn't different from my car. No system is perfect but since my car is not even adaptive, this is better For deceleration first it will use engine brake (which is a lot and very good to not waste brake pads commuting :D), then will gradually apply the brakes if needed and it'll even help you to use the full potential of the brakes in emergencies - it is NOT crash avoidance system. The system will disengage only if you move the throttle forward, use the brakes or if you press the clutch more than 1s. You can change gears using QS up or down, or even use the clutch without worries as ACC will continue to work. If my SuperTen First Edition had ACC and quick shifter back then i'd still have it but this one is a worthy successor. It does everything well except no Android Auto and apparently not good for stunt riding, go figure Ask Sarah Lezito if in doubt Anyway, don't even think about it. It does work if you ride as you normally would. Same with the brakes. the bike really does it's best at keeping that rubber down and you notice it. It's brilliant in how everything is fitted together without being intrusive. Even the ABS is not as intrusive as in the SuperTen, for example. Just drive.
