pricing the parts for this conversion here in UK and it comes to just over £500 one of the parts in Partshark kit (B90-16350-00-00 pressure plate assy) is not on uk dealers parts fiche (its 16351) if its the same part tried contacting Partshark to see if they ship to uk...but no reply aaaargh

ive filed the locating pins off loads of switches/throttles over the years, occasionally ive had a problem with a switch housing that was a tad loose, 1 wrap of tape was usually enough to keep a switch steady, ive never had a problem (yet) with a throttle housing moving however, on the Tracer i left a small amount of the pin on the throttle (maybe 2-3mm) just as a safeguard, then when you tighten it up, the small protrusion will snug it up tight. i found it hard to reach the indicator switch in the pegged position, much easier to reach if moved down a bit

It's all in the listing - you won't get a hard copy but the pdf, electronic version of the Yamaha factory manual - this is someone selling a copyrighted electronic document illegally. ooops, if its illegal ive bought it, no problems with download etc. .... £8 here in UK

i had similar setup on my last bike (Versys 650) worked well, heavier weights outside the KTM guards, cold protection is decent in winter, keep the rain at bay for a while longer too, OEM guards are off my Tracer, KTM ones will go on soon....luckily (unlike yourself i presume) we can ride through most of our winter unless its a bad one

what is the "APE" adjuster you are talking about.....

Posts merged. I just put on heavier bar ends (after removing the handguards) and noticed NO tingling in my hands after my ride this morning. I swapped bikes with Ty and noticed his vibrated twice as much as mine. So long story short, put on heavier bar ends. I used ones from E-bay, but had to drill out the ends to accommodate the stock 10 size bolts. They came with 18mm inserts, which are too big. We need something like 16mm inserts. ive mentioned elsewhere, i used bar ends off a Versys 650 MK1, they have a rubber bush in the centre, are steel, quite heavy, weigh approx 8oz each, 8mm hex bolt screws straight into centre of inserts in Tracer bars...(with handguards removed)....made a big difference for me...

...sport tourer... I suppose that implies bias toward the fun/sport end of the scale... but seriously, I've learned to not use handlebars at all. It is now, not surprisingly, much smoother and waaay more exciting. If you must use the handlebars, have you tried Grip Puppies or some kind of foam slip-ons, in addition to proper bar ends? yeah,the sport bit is ok.....i didn't think about not using the bars altogether....my solution was a length of string from one end of the bars to the other, and i just hold it in the middle and pull each end to steer.....see how it go's.......

just to add my experience to this thread, mine vibrated badly, around 4-5k rpm its bad through the bars, sends hands to sleep, and in general when making the motor work it vibes harshly through the footrests, slackening the chain reduced the footrest vibes a bit and smoothed things out (as did changing to a different brand of oil, less clutch rattle too) i fitted 30mm bar risers and this helped the bar vibrations, took the handguards off and put some heavy rubber insert steel type Versys 650 bar ends on, and vibes nearly all gone now, these are quite heavy at around 8oz each, i also tried silicone in the bars which made no difference at all..... annoyingly, the top gear whine drove me nuts between 60-70, then just as that starts to quieten down at over 70, the vibes started in the bars.....!!! tourer....Yamaha are having a laugh,....only 2k mls so far, i'm hoping it smooths out a bit...

Actually, that rabbit doesn't sound lucky at all..... So, is there a new oil-pan on the 2016 or 2017 models? mines a 2016, has different oil pan, drain plug is on the front side......
