I have worked on my yamahas, caused myself a few problems but other then that, as long as you >>follow the service manual<< you should be ok. I know from experience, /bonk /bonk You could probably find a good independent motorcycle mechanic in your area and ill bet he would work on a yamaha if you dont/cant do it. Probably better then any dealer. Not so sure about a duc though. I know there are independent duc mechanics out there but Ducs suck, they always break because they are designed to break.

The blue coloring is good. This is what you want. It can be all sorts of colors though, from bronze to blue to red and sort of rainbowed in between. That is perfect. What you don't want to see is a sort of DULL crystalley white looking color, tends to show up as spots that get bigger and bigger. This is bad it means your engine is to hot, aka: to lean, and its cooking your valves and seats and ... engine. You also don't want a really gasey smell in the exhaust that means it is too rich. Which is choking your engine and the extra gas laying around in the cylinder >>can<< get forced around the rings and into the oil. Which degrades the oil and is really hard on your rings. You break rings you buy a new bike and the subsequent slow down when you break a ring is scary as hell.

For a 2019 Tracer? Not GT? Seems a little high. https://www.salestaxhandbook.com/arizona/sales-tax-vehicles I couldn't find anything specific to motorcycle but its probably the same as cars, "vehicles". If you have a trade in, take the trade in amount off before you figure sales tax. Arizona collects a 6.6% state sales tax rate on the purchase of all vehicles. However, the total tax may be higher, depending on the county and city the vehicle is purchased in. County tax can be as high as 0.7% and city tax can be up to 2.5%. Average DMV fees in Arizona on a new-car purchase add up to $532 The average doc fee in Arizona is $410 Every motorcycle store I have ever seen charged at least $100 for shipping/destination fee. Its probably $250 now too. Ask to see their numbers. Take a calculator and notepad if you need. If they got something fishy going on they probably wont let you see them. Go to another store, DON'T tell them the OTD price this store gave you. Let them give you a price and then counter offer if needed. They say yes/no. You go from there.

I had a similiar problem on my FJR new. I changed the fork oil, bushings, seals and it went away.

is that on the side stand or the center stand? Should measure it when its on the side stand.
