These may help with strengthening the clutch hand:

I never bothered with all the other ideas- main culprit is the front sprocket- replace with a plain jane one that don't have a rubber damper...

You are now gonna be subject of conversation for min- we just kinda got discussion about Yamahas color choices- Me thinks they been listening to HOA meetings 😅

The DIY kit, not the cartridge core swap...

Did you paint the front side panels?

Welcome 😁

I totally agree with your statement about the rubber damping on the front sprocket... It never let the chain ride on the sprocket properly...it allowed the outside chain links to ride on the front half of the chain link on the rubber(the back half of the link just barely touched the rubber) vs the normal way which is to let the inner rollers ride on the sprocket...

Nnnnoooooooooooo!!!! 🤥

FJ-09: PR5 tires-done 320mm rotors-done Stoltec fork kit and Penske Double Clicker- early dec time frame XSR clutch upgrade- on backorder till 11/21- will install early spring FZ-07: Top Secret Upgrade 😝 - will post pics when the parts come in...

The FZ-09 shares the same airbox part number as the FJ-09, I dunno about the Tracer/GT bikes... But here's the "curse" in action 😁

Time for forced induction with smaller sized engines... we already got a turbo kits for the CP2, CP3 and CP4 motors...even starting to have the kits run on e85, can you imagine the lil ole CP2 putting down 145whp/100tq on e85 🤪( granted it needs bigger 650cc injectors, aftermarket springs/rods/valves, HD clutch springs, ARP stud kit and ceramic coated pistons)...

We never got the 2018 bikes in the USA... we got the 2015-17 FJ-09 then the 2019+ Tracer/GT... It didn't help Yamaha had 2 different names for the same bike till 2019 which adds to the confusion... 2015-17 - 1st gen 2018+ 2nd gen

Even looking at the parts list, the seats are totally different( granted the pictures are kinda generic)... gotta be a different pan for the FJ and Tracer/GT bikes...the Tracer/GT looks to have different material/colors/stitching between the 2...

Looking at the parts list: I see 3 different part numbers for the passenger seat... FJ-09- 2PP-247OH-00-00 TRACER- B5C-24750-00-P0 GT- B5C-247OH-10-00

No decal- a few members have used colored pin stripe style tape, IIRC @wordsmithhas done this a few times...

Various legal reasons... its easier to have speedos read slightly higher than actual speed...

My solution to the colors is to have all the body plastics "clear enough to see thru" as well as a "clear see thru" gas tank... that way the future owners can get the bike painted to the color they want...

Just email the pictures you wanna post to yourself- they will automatically get reduced in size...

Cheap worthy upgrade would be a Stoltec fork kit- either in a DIY kit or pre-assembled swap of the cartridge cores... That would a night/day improvement...

Go for it if you can do it... I really didn't think we had forum members in Netherlands/Holland...

I find its mainly driven by what my friends have for a motorcycle that drive a person's choice in a motorcycle...

Darn it!! I was hoping it would be a little challenging to complete...

I have a Ranger... I put the bike in the bed diagonally...

Next photo challenge: picture of bike near a sign showing elevation "below sea lvl"
