  1. I have a used OEM Yamaha Comfort Seat set for sale for 2019-2020 Tracer 900 & GT. I just purchased this on here early this year from a member that traded in his Tracer. You can still see his original post about 10 posts down. It is in great condition with very little use but there are some boot marks on the passenger seat from the previous owners wife dragging her foot when getting off the bike. I was able to finally test the seat out last week after the roads cleared up only to find out that it is far too tall for me. I had originally listed my Bagster seat for sale but since deleted it and decided to keep it. You will have to transfer the silver fill panel from your stock seat as it is not included with the Comfort seat. Item will ship from in Central NY zip 13211. US sale only please. $150 plus shipping. SOLD.
  2. Ride365- Have you seen what a set Dunlop RS3's cost this year? I run them on my bikes also. Last couple years a set was $250.78 in the US. 108.55 for a front 120/70-17 and 142.23 for a rear 180/55-17. Now they are 379.70 for a set. 167.46 for a front 120/70-17 and 212.24 for a rear 180/55-17. Now they are almost as expensive as the Michelin Road series tires. I'm glad i changed tires on all my bikes last fall before storage to get me by for a while.
  3. I noticed the login problem this past Friday afternoon. Changed password and could login on my phone but not on laptop for some reason. Thank you jthayer09 and bwringer for the temporary fix to login with email instead. Now i'm in ! Happy New Year everyone.
  4. I would like the comfort seat set of Johnmark has turned it down. Would appreciate some extra photos. I'll send you a PM.
  5. Hello Joe, I purchased your kit a while back for my 2019 Tracer 900 GT and it has been great. Recently i added a 2022 MT-09SP to my garage which has the same annoying forward seat slope. I am hoping that you will offer a kit for that bike soon. I checked your website and FB page but looks like it was still being tested. I will buy it as soon as it's available. Enjoy your vacation!
  6. I just saw this thread. Thanks for posting, it was fun to read. My 2nd bike ever was a maroon 83 Nighthawk 650. Bought it used in 91 and kept until 96. I really wanted the 700S model but couldn't find one in my low budget at the time. I really liked my NH 650 until it started having charging system problems and left me stranded with a dead battery. I had found out in later years that this was a known problem with that bike. I eventually found a parts bike in the local swap sheet which was like a printed newspaper version of craigslist. No E-bay or forum pages back then as the internet was adolescent in the mid 90's. I swapped out the generator & rectifier, test rode it once, sold it and moved on.
  7. Evotech Radiator guard Part# PRN015412. Fits 21 & newer Tracer 9 and MT-09 MT-09SP. Guard is new and never been mounted. Will ship from central NY. $60 plus shipping. PayPal preferred or Venmo US sales only please.
  8. I am not sure if the remap had anything to do with it. Going back to 2020 i do recall the tuner (Flashed by VCycleNut on fz09.org forum and facebook) asking me if i wanted the ECU mapped for certain things. 02 delete was one of them. I was skiddish about it at first but he thoroughly explained the benefit of doing so and i gave him the OK. I don't think i personally could detect the 02 sensor activating and de-activating while riding but he is a racer and knows his stuff when it comes to precise mapping. He told me there would be codes and the engine light would illuminate at first fire-up as it did. He also told me how to easily clear the codes with a simple OBD2 code reader and gave me the amazon link to buy the Yamaha adapter cable. Now that i recall this it seems very possible that the remap is probably why the 02 disconnect does not affect the quickshifter on my XSR.
  9. We do not have emissions testing here in NY but over the winter our replacement Dem Governor found time to pass the NY "SLEEP" act which stands for "Stop Loud and Excessive Exhaust Pollution". From what it appears is that in NY we are no longer allowed to modify our stock exhaust or replace our exhaust with anything aftermarket if it's louder than the stock decibel rating of the bike. Supposedly the inspection station is not allowed to pass any bike that has such modified exhaust. It has already been in enforced on the snowmobile trails this winter and applies to cars & trucks as well. Fines upwards of $1000 for the vehicle owner. I do not personally know anyone that has been affected yet. The bike shops in the area don't even know how it's going to work yet. Supposedly they can get fined also. Hopefully riding season starts soon here in the Northeast when the roads clear up. I guess we will find out in the next couple months how this all shakes out. My Tracer is all stock but my other 2 bikes are not and i do not want to change them back to the stock exhaust.
  10. This does not make sense to me and i'll tell you why. My Tracer GT is 100% stock but my XSR900 is not. I installed aftermarket exhaust on my 19 XSR900 and had the ECU remapped. At the advice of the tuner i also deleted my 02 sensor and plugged/capped it off. I have the OEM Yamaha quickshifter installed on the bike and it still works fine without the 02 sensor.
