  1. Good job on the refit, looks stock. Let us know the results after you get some miles on it when the weather allows. I'm interested in those shocks, mind sharing info on price and where you got it?
  2. Other than the pipe and reflash, I also did a throttle body balance and an AIS delete. Blocked off the AIS ports with plates, removed the hoses but left the pump in place and plugged in. It's small and not in the way, but removing it gives a CEL light, and disables the cruise control and some of the menu screens. Found out the hard way, luckily, I have an OBD code reader with a Yamaha plug to clear any codes myself. Also worth the $$.
  3. No, he didn't tell me to delete the o2 sensor, and I left the air box alone. No issues, runs like a scalded cat! Smooth throttle everywhere, does exactly what he says it will!
  4. I just dug out the paperwork from this pipe. It's the Yosh Y-series, Yamaha PN # B1J-E46D0-V0. It has a catalyst and an O2 sensor bung which makes it CARB/EPA 50 state legal, if that matters to you. That's why Yamaha lists them with a PN. I installed it at home without issues. Comes with good instructions from Yosh. I took the DB killer out at first, sounds great but too loud for me, reinstalled the baffle. Tones it down just right for my liking, no apparent difference in feel to me, in or out, just moar noise! YMMV. Don't know who Yosh paid off to get it by the sound checks but, wow, what a sound. Still using the OEM air filter, and still hear that sweet intake growl clearly. I also had Ivan reflash the ECU to match, which IMHO needs to be done anyway even with a stock pipe. So, that's my input, I'm really happy with it as it is now. Worth the $$ if you ask me.
  5. Yoshimura, it has a Yamaha part number , 50 state compliant, has a Tracer or FJ-09 tag label on the can, and a removable DB killer. Made to fit with the centerstand. I've had mine on for 2 & 1/2 years, love it.
  6. Check your fork alignment, it's off. One of the forks is twisted slightly, there are several videos and how -to's on this. Not hard to correct, check on FZ1OA for a good example. Search is your friend. My new from the dealer Tracer GT was off by a good bit, shoddy set-up. One of the first things I noticed and corrected after taking delivery back in June 2018 after buying it. Oh yeah, I love the Heli risers, much improved comfort.
  7. Does repeating the sequence turn it back on? I'd like to know before I try. If so, thanks for the info, I looked in the manual too and didn't see anything about it. I don't use the QS at lower revs in the first 3 gears, because of the clunk, but use it regularly from 4th thru 6th. This is at normal traffic riding speeds. However, when giving it the berries, say, more than 1/2 throttle up to full throttle, it works great in all the gears. This is my first QS and I had to retrain my hand to hold the throttle open instead of slightly backing off when shifting, as I was used to doing. Slightly preloading the shifter helps too, just like regular clutchless upshifts. Runnerhiker is right, don't baby it, it wants a firm toe prod. Ok, I went back and saw that Tracerracer already answered my question, it disables and enables the QS. Awesome tip, I appreciate the info, thanks y'all! Any other hidden gems like this we need to know?
