Black Tracer 900 (GT maybe?) this past Saturday in Cambridge as I was going to meet my VFR-riding buddy. Apparently they were coming from the Tim's I was going to in order to meet my friend. There were two other bikes with him/her - a cruiser and another sports bike. If you are on here and want to ask me about the new 2021 T9 GT - just drop me a note. Cheers Rob

Brilliant intro! Welcome and I look forward to reading more of your witicisms! Cheers Rob

Another example of "what the VFR should have become". Man, Honda missed the boat after owning this segment for decades. When I look at this bike, I see a Triumph Sprint GT mixed with a Z1000SX. The result is stunning. Well done Suzuki.

FJR cases and liners are sold

I have one fully working FJR bag (right side) and a left-side that is busted, but the lid is in mint condition. Now that I have a 2021 T9 GT, I no longer need them and would be willing to sell for a reasonable offer. Prefer local pickup. Not sure about shipping very far as the box is huge and would be cost prohibitive to ship. Also - a set of Yamaha FJR bag liners - only used once or twice. These are the ones that Yamaha sells as liners for the City cases on the 2019/20 Tracer GT. I think they work for the Niken, Tracer and FJR. New, they are almost $200 CAD. I'd take $100 for them as they are basically brand new. https://www.yamaha-motor.ca/en/accessories/motorcycles/luggage-racks/side-case-liners/1MC-INBAG-SC-00?sourceCategoryCode=101 Lastly - an EvoTech rad guard for the 2018-2020 Tracer. Was on my 2019 for ~2000km so it's in very good condition. Pictures attached. $50 I am located in southwestern Ontario. Local pickup or meetup will get preference over shipping any of the above. Discount bundle pricing available. 🙂

Now that I have a 2021 T9 GT, I no longer need them and would be willing to sell - the catch is it would have to be within Canada as I am not shipping the huge box stateside. Sorry - not much help to most on this thread.

Do you think the T9 is going to replace the Fazer? Is the idea that the Fizzer is used for short rips about town and the Tracer is for longer rides/touring? I think the T9 might surprise you. Drop the bags and that beauty can be a hooligan. 😉 Cheers, Rob

Hey @nick@forceberg.net - have you attempted installing your Speedo Angel yet?

It's a like a candy shop...

The available accessories in Europe is incredible. I use the term "available" loosely as a lot is on Covid back order etc. Currently we can't even order the saddle bag/pannier liners. 😞 Rob

@BVEBRAD - would like to hear about your issues if you want to share?

I may have also gotten a new Shoei to match the bike (I know, I know)...was able to find a RF1200 in this colour scheme.

No issues. Work fine and you don't notice the unique design over time.

Best avatar that I've seen in a long time @Skidood! 😃

Phew! I was worried there after reading the first few lines of your post. Surprised they don't include the spray solution as other companies do (Eazi-Grip). Glad it worked out @jthayer09 How does it look? Are the lines where the pieces meet up really visible? Cheers Rob

Just an update on the MRA screens for the T9s. Originally they told me that they weren't going to re-design them for the Tracer 9 - but they have since changed their minds new designs are in the works. They haven't put any photos up on their site yet - but they told me soon! So if you are looking at them, maybe hold off a bit until the new version is released. https://www.mrashop.de/com/model-based-products/yamaha/tracer-9-gt/bj-21/ Rob

Did you get your kit yet @nick@forceberg.net? Mine just arrived. This is going to be a challenge to install. 🙂 Rob

@nick@forceberg.netEazi Grip also came out with a version. It's only 4 pieces, but I'm not sure about them. I know the Speedo Angels stuff is quality and they stand behind their products. They did say to make sure you use the wet install process for this one. Rob

Just released for the Tracer 9: https://speedo-angels.com/product/yamaha-tracer9/?attribute_pa_kit-option=3uc I have mine on order and will report back once installed - it's 8 pieces!!! Cheers, Rob

Thanks. Not sure how to mount those - I'm not much of a fabricator. Denali also makes these offset ones - not sure how they'd work with the new fairings. https://denalielectronics.com/products/dnl-drl-10100-w

I love the exhaust note on my T9 GT...will not be swapping the exhaust any time soon. The wide seat does make the reach to the ground a bit farther for my 31" inseam - but still managaeble. Windscreen went as soon as I got home - the MRA Sport from my 2019 GT went on. It works great as it did on the previous bike - except the larger handguards on the T9 will hit the screen if it's raised up and the bike is at full turn (like you would doing a u-turn or moving the bike around in the driveway/garage). I reached out to MRA and asked them if they are going to be developing a new version for the T( and they said yes. I sent them pictures of mine and said to let me know if they needed anything else. I pretty much leave mine in the lower position anyhow. Bike is ridiculously smooth, both from a power delivery and a suspension perspective (I've been riding in mode 2 for both) I disabled the quick shifter as I didn't like the up shifter when taking off from a stop. I think I will re-enable downshifting and leave the upshifting disabled. You can do this easily from the user menu. Has anyone attempted to clean the dash yet? It's a dust magnet but I am loathe to touch it as I hate scratches/swirls on my dashes. Cheers Rob

It will fit. Depending on what screen you got to, you may have issues with the new hand guards hitting the screen at full turn. The new hand guards are larger than those on the previous GT models. Rob

What size did you get? They offer 20-26 (I'm assuming inches?) Do your hand guards hit the windshield when at full turn? Just curious as there are no cutouts on the sides like on the stock screen and other aftermarket options.

It's only in zones where the posted speed limit is less than 80km/h. Still BS, but it wouldn't apply to an 80 zone - unless you were going 130! https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/drivers-in-ontario-will-now-be-slapped-with-stunt-driving-charges-at-lower-speeds-1.5493233

It does. My MRA Sport though will hit the hand guards on the new GT when the bars are at full turn and the screen is raised up to the top height.
