I agree with this too...

Welcome to the forum. A lot of good info and people here. Seat and screen were the first things I addressed as well.

Wow... that's crazy!

Welcome to the forum. A lot of good information and people here.

Finally changed my original battery yesterday... was still cranking but could tell it was getting weak (especially if it was below 60F in the AMs). Got worried about being stranded somewhere so I changed it. Lasted over 3 years on my '15. Also thank you to everyone who has put the battery in incorrectly. Thanks to your sacrifices I knew what to look for and the install was a breeze.

Do you have a modified stock pipe that you are no longer using?

Man those new dashes look nice....

Just got back from Italy where I saw numerous Tracers... all looked just like my US spec in terms of headlight layout. I'd be will to guess this so called ITV inspector is just being difficult and doesn't know what he/she is doing.

Do you have any links for the suspension you purchased? might be helpful to others.

Welcome to the forum. There are a few of us in here from GA...

I also have the Puig Touring Screen with clip on deflector. I would recommend it as well.

I missed mine.... just got back from a vacation in the Tuscan region of Italy. I saw many Tracers which made me happy. I've had my FJ for 3.5 years and almost never see another one on the street in the US. I saw atleast 1 per day in Italy. Good to know Europe appreciates this great motorcycle.... I still have a lust for a Multistrada but at 2x the price when new it's hard to justify. Still love my FJ.

I dont remember the Dunlops at this point to be honest.... I dont find Road 5s to be especially hard. The Road 5s ride well. I just want try a different style tire to see what I get. I say that now but I do a lot of commuting so I will probably end up with another sport touring style tire to get longevity out of the center of the tire.

I have had a set for about 3000miles or so... no signs of wear. No complaints except the price. I am an all weather rider so the advertised water siphoning ability is what pulled me most the to Road 5s. I had a set of Conti Road Attack 3s prior to the Road 5s and I feel like the Contis had a little more grip but it may just be in my head. The Roads have more than enough for my style riding. It makes sense to put a sport touring tire on the FJ/Tracer, but I think my next tire change I am going to go with something softer.

I also use a SENA 20S and have had no issues with the speakers. I ride with ear plugs also.

I went from a Versys 650 to a FJ-09... I used to always advise new riders to go with the lower HP bike but have since changed how I preface that statement. If you are someone with a good sense of self control and feel that you would be able to ride patiently and responsibly then I would go with the GT. If you are often find yourself pushing the envelope, go with the Versys to start. The Versys is a great bike. Comfortable, smooth, reliable, tall... a lot of good qualities... but the 650 parallel twin is, to put it plainly, BORING in comparison to the GT/FJ. If you're like me, you will be ready for an upgrade in power very quickly. Everyone is different though. Either way you go, they are both great bikes.

Damn dude... sorry to hear that. I'm about to put mine down for a few for throttle body sync and valve clearance check / adjustment. It's a little early in terms of miles but want to get it done before the prime riding weather really takes off.

Not the first turbo CP3 I've seen... kinda cool that someone did this to a Niken.

No description on how it rides? I mean there are reviews online by paid journalists but would like to hear your impressions.

I'm going with the RPHA 90. Not the 70.

Not a whine from the gear box, correct?? Mine ('15 FJ) has always whined in 6th gear between 60 and 80 or so.

Mine is over 3 years... it's starting to get a little weak when it's cold so will be replacing it soon.

I'll get you some pictures tomorrow if @texscottyd doesn't beat me to it.

I leave it in A mode 100% of the time after getting mine flashed from Vcyclenut.... this is how the bike should have been from the factory. I hope you enjoy.

That is AWESOME!
