Thanks Chamelion, much appreciated, not special then. Not sure who does ECU tunes my way so will live with it for a while at least, its not something I need to do to enjoy the ride.

Hi all, I have a question that suppose is directed mainly at my Australian counterparts. Is the MT-09 Tracer supposed to be speed limited? I know the American FJ-09 is but been told before I purchased this bike that the Aus version and EU wasn't. Some time back I found a little quiet track so thought I would open it up a little to see if this speed wobble issue was going to effect me if I did a track day with my mates. To my surprise it stopped powering on not much over 180km/hr. Called the dealer who looked into it and said no not limited, they couldn't test it so was up to me to find someone with a dyno to show that it was, I did this as thinking now something might possibly be wrong with my bike only to have my speed limiting suspicions confirmed. Yamaha's response - yes all tracers are limited. A bit of a backflip from Yamaha but has anyone tested or had their bike on a dyno to confirm wether it is or isn't - perhaps my bike is a bit "Special". Thanks Kelpie

Hi kimmie, Had the tracer for a while now and done about 6300 kms on it, havent had any trouble with the steering, found it light but hasn't misbehaved. I have softened the front and rear suspension just a little as it was a bit firm for me (70kg). Most of my riding is country so don't get to lean it into the corners as often like you would in the better city roads, even down decently corrugated roads it goes surprisingly well, and a bit of speed helps keep it really smooth. Hope you find a solution.

Hi Steve, thought you were due to get your bike last weekend? Delays? Very frustrating for you I'm sure, mine just shy of being run in. For a bit of trivia my most exspensive quote was $1860 p/a

Hi L of S away from home at the moment but swann insurance gave me best quote. Off hand about 640 but included business use and no history of claims from me and live in a low risk area for theft.
