wal

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

So I clicked on the ebay FJ-09 parts link on the top of the page and this was the first item: 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-2015-2016-MT-09-FJ-09-Tracer-900-Service-Repair-Workshop-Service-Manual/252575684778?_trksid=p2045573.c100507.m3226&_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3D637680aff5854179953e2b90313f0d15%26pid%3D100507%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26
 
any idea what it is? Is it a photocopy of the oem manual or a photocopy of Clymer or some other 3rd party manual?

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 

Picking up from my last post on here...I replaced the KTM hand guard end caps with R&G bar ends (specific to these guards) in hope to reduce vibration... and they did the job. The bar ends are much heavier (they are not steel, just more alloy) and come with a longer (heavier) M8 bolt. I have a lot of foam on the grips, so much vibration is dissipated there, YMMV. These guards offer a lot of protection BTW. I recall from the past spring, the OEM guards offered next to none. This is then my setup for spring and autumn. Some pics... 
 
 
 

 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

This thread discusses every idea there is to reduce handle bar vibration.  For me,  ECU reflash by 2WDW, built up hand grips with foam and Vibranators (which may have a long waiting period to get, but this is my 3rd bike with Vibranators) in the handle bars, and 6,000 miles have reduced vibration to insignificant on my bike. Changing the stock chain tensioner with APE manual adjustment also reduced vibration. I did all these things shortly after I bought the bike because it needed them, and was just lucky to find the end result is almost vibration free bike. YMMV.

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

  Hi i,m new to this forum so if i,m asking a question that has been asked before i,ll apologise now, anyway what i would like to know is has anyone experienced bad vibrations through the bars and pegs under heavy acceleration and when at speeds above 80 mph on private roads of course

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... 

...tourer....Yamaha are having a laugh,....only 2k mls so far, i'm hoping it smooths out a bit...

...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.....!!!

Yep, but I still keep a lucky rabbits foot on each of my bikes for a situation such as this.   

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......
