I can confirm they fit a 2016 FJ-09.  I mounted my seat spacers to the frame under the plastic height adjustor.  I run mine in the high position since I’m 6’1”.  Simple and easy install, thanks for developing these parts.

Excellent, thanks for the additional multitudes of mounting options!

I’m sure there is some debate about the use fullness of a Radar Detector on a motorcycle vs different opinions of spirted riding.  I’ve been running a V1 for years on my street bikes and it has potentially saved me a few excessive “performance awards”.  My favorite setup has always been a simple Velcro solution on the top of the brake mater cylinder reservoir cap with a Legal Speeding HARD system Adaptivetech.

See photo V1 on Sprint ST; this was a nice level-ish forward facing low obstruction spot.

The master brake reservoir on the FJ-09 or FZ-07 is nicer then the chintzy Truimph plastic variety but clearly not level.  After seeing Clegg78’s 3D printer offerings I was suggesting a compound angle wedge that would allow a level radar detector mounting.  See second photo.  The wedge shape would have through holes and allow longer screws that would clamp the wedge to the reservoir cap mounting locations.  This level perch could then be used for a radar detector mount.

All that being said, I went a different direction a built a magnetic plate that utilize the RAM clamping hardware.  Plate is AL with machined recesses on the bottom with Neodymium magnets epoxied in place.  Photos 3 & 4.  Works really well but the wedge reservoir cap wold still be simpler.

Clegg78, ordered.  Gambling it will fit a 2016 FJ-09; if not consider it a donation to future product development.  Anyway, I’m sure I can start with your parts and make modification to fit if needed.

I’ll bite, a wedge with through holes that line up with the front master brake cylinder cover screws.  This would provide an excellent place to mount a radar detector with Velcro and hold it level.  I fabricated a sheet metal part to do this but it was pretty janky.  I’ll attach some photos when back home; I think the part is still bouncing around my Moto bits box.

Interesting; I just went out and check mine and its mounted the other way around.  It’s clear I followed the instructions incorrectly; this was done in the parking lot of a California Yamaha dealership before riding the bike back to CO.  So it was certainly a rushed process.  That being said the way I mounted provides a mm or two more swing arm clearance.  No marks on my swing arm from contact and I pretty sure I’ve bottomed they suspension.

Ok, thanks. No need to disassemble anything.  I’m installing the Puig belly pan and noticed some very light scuffing on the bottom of my oil pan.  I don’t like the looks of any of the true  skid plate protection options.  The item on Amazon is pretty low dollar to at least give it a try. I don’t ride anything truly of road but I this a little protection would help.  My biggest concern it a rock getting kicked up.

I add photos of my setup when done.

Betoney, any photos you could share?  Thanks 3B

Thoughts on this?

There is nothing substantially different  in a street bike construction vs a dirt bike and I plow my dirt bike through knee deep water pretty often.  On a running engine crank case breather below water level is not really an issue.  Oil seals at wheel bearings, counter & shift shafts keep oils and greases in so also keep water out.  Modern electronics and ignition systems are all very well sealed these days.

I’ve always found riding in a down poor is the best way to clean the bugs out of the radiators.

I have had issues with the seal on cheap oil filters in the past.  Though this could have been user error; over tighten and/or possibly lack of pre lube.  I’ve gone with the Purolator 14610 on every street bike I’ve owned since that failure in 2003 and never had an issue since.  I’ve never considered the vanity of different color oil filters; extra blue on a Yamaha just seems the appropriate level of extra bling...

Wild fires this year are so devastating out west. That melted sign is terrifying.  There are a few that have encroached on some of the paved road access in Western CO.  I managed to check out some burn that devastated some of my favorite off road single track this weekend.

Also 89 south out of Flag through Sedona, Jerome, Prescott, Yarnell to Wickenburg was one of my favorite AZ ride.  Finally my all time favorite motorcycle road is in eastern AZ, 191 from Clifton to Alpine AZ.

Hope you have a great trip!

Hey, if your heading to the canyon on 180 don’t miss a quick ride up snowbowl road,  Fun little bit of twisties.

They certainly appear to be Blurple in the photos:

2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT - Long-Term Ride Review

Yamaha's Tracer 900 GT is a great platform on which to build an ideal...

Does my link to my google doc work?  It might only work for others with google drives?  Anyway, it is PDF describing step by step what I did and why.  I couldn’t load a pdf doc to this forum.

My added filter is after the pump and external to the tank.  The OEM design also has the main filter after the pump its just part of the white plastic assembly.  The only thing before the pump inlet is the pickup screen.  The filter is to protect the injectors.

So the FZ-07 Filter is almost certainly a Denso fuel pump assembly most of which have an integrated non serviceable fuel filter.  Actually I’m pretty sure most Japanese and Eruo bikes have some variant of a Denso fuel pump/filter system.  My old Triumph 1050 had a similar system and I managed to develop a work around.  (Hope the link to my G-Drive document works?)

I was pretty close to replacing my TT600 with a Sprint ST before I decided to take a break from motorcycling for a while. I test rode one and loved it. 

I really enjoyed the ST, lots of long days in the saddle A few well into the 1000’s.  It was fast & functional and tickled a few of my desires; under seat exhaust & SSSA.  The CP3 Yamaha motor has been on my radar since  it hit the motorcycle shows in 2013-ish?; thanks to the Pace Pod cast for discussing it.  And when I saw the first FJ09 in 2015 I was pretty sure it was my next road going bike.  Finally found the deal I was looking for on a 2016 in LA did the old fly and buy.  It’s been a fantastically comfortable and capable bike.

I’ve never really considered how well a bike holds its value but older modern era Triumphs sure don’t.  My ST did have a lot of miles on it but it was in excellent condition.  She went for a song.  Had I had the garage space I would have just kept her; my youthful lust of the 916 sometimes still need the under seat exhaust & SSSA tickled...

Also, the plastic tank was quickly distorting on our silly efforts to put half burned hydrocarbons (ethanol) in our gas tanks! 

Ive owned three Triumphs, 2000 Sprint RS, 2002 Daytona 955i and a 2005 Sprint ST.  Put the most miles on the ST.

Also likely the front brake rotor rocking back and forth on its floating mounts.

Here’s the bungee cord mounting, it’s 10s to mount or take off and no dangley buckles and straps on the bike.

I also prefer tail bags to top boxes and there are lots of options that will fit a laptop.  I’m currently using item below.  However, I’ve always found the included straps and clips to be cumbersome and time consuming.  I’ve modified all of my bags with some bungee/shock cord material and a suitable place to stretch and hook it too.  Lots of places on the FJ to do this.

From tail bag to backpack and then back again, the Jetpack Tail Bag is great for adventures on and off the bike.

Mine didn’t survive the winter, last ride was likely in November last year.   No battery tender for 4-ish months, bike garaged at 50 to 60*F.  Put it on the charger over night the other day and just click click when I tried to start.  This is a 2016 so 4 years with no real battery maintenance isn’t bad I guess.  Anyway Shorais on order, one for my FJ and one for the missus FZ-07
