  1. You can if you buy the Niken GT. 2019 Yamaha NIKEN GT Sport Touring Motorcycle - Model Home 2019 Yamaha NIKEN GT Sport Touring Motorcycle
  2. I LOVE the blurple colored rims on my ‘19 Tracer GT.👍🏍. I have also been wearing Hi-Viz jackets since they came out.
  3. Pics of my new to me 2019 Tracer 900 GT with 7500 miles on it. I bought it used in October 2020 with 4400 miles.
  4. There are some used ones on EBay if you search FJ-09....cheaper and readily available.
  5. Turn the key in each bag, lift the bigger handle and remove from the bike....takes 2 seconds if you are slow👍
  6. I use Yamalube and Yamaha filters while the bike is in warranty.....then, all bets are off from then on.
  7. Honda could have a good seller UNLESS they fail to sell the bike with factory cruise control. The lack of cruise control/tubeless wheels on the Africa Twin turned off a lot of buyers/me. The same lack of cruise control eliminated the VFR1200X from my possible purchase. If this Honda does show up half baked it will be a sales failure......otherwise, it looks good.
  8. I've only owned my '19 Tracer GT for 2 months and 2300 miles, but if in familiar area, I will be fueling up between 160-180 miles and if on a trip anytime between 150-175 miles. My Garmin GPS gives me some reasonable options while traveling. I have been getting high 40 mpg when riding.
  9. I have attached pictures of my ‘19 Tracer 900 GT front wheel. The disc is 4.80mm wide/thick and the inside distance between both discs is 122mm.
  10. I do like almost exactly like kilo3's post above.....do not use locktite. There are numerous YouTube videos on this subject.
  11. I installed a cheap EBay adjustable windshield spoiler and went for a ride. It works great on my Puig tall touring windshield and I was able to lower the windshield bracket to the lowered position on my GT.
  12. Like you said, lifting via soft ties around the handlebars would work great.
  13. No Mar sells balancing cones for single sided, large hole wheels. If I owned a Niken, I would place a horizontal bar/broomstick between both sets of forks and use motorcycle tie downs attached to the garage door rails to raise the front wheels while the bike is on the center stand. You could also raise the front by placing the bike on the center stand and using a motorcycle tie down(s) to pull the rear of the bike down utilizing eye bolts installed on the lower edge of the garage wall or even wrapped around the wheel of your car or truck.

  14. Yes, I know they can be flipped and will probably never cause a problem....I was just pointing out that they are directional like most clamps. I will flip mine also as i don't plan on riding any super cross events with the Tracer fearing my handlebars will rotate when the clamps are reversed.
  15. Picture of directional handlebar top clamps.
  16. Yes, I looked at the top halves and they looked directional to me. I will pull one off shortly and look again.
  17. That "primer gray" must be the before picture of the final red painted T 9.
  18. I drilled mine with a drill larger than the pin diameter.....took about 20 seconds. I believe the peg pin is 8mm, so a 3/8” drill will remove the crimped head.
  19. Fabulous idea.....I just ordered this one for myself. Air Pump Wedge Shim Bag Spreading Tool / automotive Jack / Align / Door Leveling Works Great For Spreading Things Apart. Includes Manual...
