Can you say SECA? I remember the turbos of the 80's. We'll see, the supercharger is more linear because the turbo spools power. The supercharger adds powers as the RPMs go up. Now a turbo-ed 2-stroke, ha, ha. Just think of that hitting the power band coming out of a corner......or maybe not.....LOL! This could get interesting, 😁

Mine is extended out a bit too. Not sure how far. I put on a piece to mount my RAM Mount for my GPS. I got it here; Original Yamaha FJ-09 MT-09 Tracer 900 2015 2016 2017 GPS Phone Holder Fits Tracer 900 2015-2016-2017. This holder can be installed with... Works well. Only thing is the lower part of my GPS covers my blinker lights on the top of the speedo. My friends are constantly grabbing their blinkers to tell me to turn mine off. Why couldn't Yamaha use the auto turn off that came on the 1st Gen VMaxes? Now that was a nice feature. It made me not cancel my blinkers for years and now I have to retrain myself, LOL! I got used to the cowel cover Yamaha made for the 1st Gen VMaxes so this small fairing works great to me. I have a Power Bronze Touring sheild that the 1st owner gave me with the bike. I put it on and couldn't stand the top of it moving in the wind just under my vision. Very distracting!!! In clean air is where it's at.

I use this, works well and it's cheap too! Double Bubble Moto Windshield WindScreen For Yamaha MT-09 MT 09 Tracer 15-16 Z4 The windshield can protect motorcycle enthusiasts from the...

Yeah, living in the country and riding further out when I do makes for a buggy jacket, bike and helmet. Make sure you pull the CE Armor from the jacket. It crumbles after a wash and hang dry. Don't ask me how I know this.......🤪

When I was 17 I had a 1968 GTO convertible. GTO = Gas, Tires, Oil

The rears will last 50 to 60,000 easy. I hardly even touch them unless I'm turning onto a gravel drive. Luckily I don't do that often either. At 15,000 the fronts are still close to new looking. I'm usually at 40 to 50,000 on the fronts but they have a big ole 10 mm. Probably when I do the rears if I don't have to take it off the mount I won't. I'll do it during a tire change. It doesn't matter if the bolt is on the brakes or anywhere else on the bike I always screw it in with my fingers first. Just an old habit. Glad to hear he's back on the road. It's not fun when your toy isn't working correctly.

That's wild. I've never taken the caliper off the mount when changing a rear tire. The fronts yes, the rear I just pull the axle and set the caliper and mount off to the side till I put it back on. I put duct tape, don't cha love the pink? On the rear swing-arm to keep it from scratching. I'll never cross thread the caliper unless I do it while changing pads. I always tighten the screws with my fingers 1st to make sure no cross threading. Just an old habit, yes I'm old.....and of course, YMMV.

I'm not sure about the fit but will the FZ-10 pegs make my FJ-09 FASTER?????? I already have the red one which is the fastest FJ-09.

I've had my 2015 for 3 years now and after the re-flash I too was still riding mostly in "B" mode in the twisties to keep the herkey-jerky from occurring. I'm used to using engine braking, on and off the throttle during high RPM riding through the curves. I will plan on this as a mid-summer update when it's too hot to ride around here, mid-July through the 1st of September. Maybe then I will be happy in "A" mode. Thanks for the update/review.

Yes they are...... being a "biker" is a life style, bring on "SOA" with leathers, Harley's etc. where motorcyclists are pretty much normal folks who like to ride motorcycles. Websters dictionary needs an update for sure. As always YMMV.

Motorcyclists are different than bikers. I had to school them on it at work too.

LMAO over here on that 1 betoney. Just begging.........begging........🤣😈🤣

I used to have 3. Well 2.5 a ZRX1100 and a ZX11 plus a ZUMA scooter. In DC I had a 1999 VMax and a 1999 ZRX1100. In Louisiana before going to DC in 2002 I had 1994 and a 1995 VMax. Was going to have 1 VMax bored to a 1500 with flat sides. Approx. 175 RWHP and roasts the rear tire while pulling up the front wheel with roll ons in 2nd. Then I went to a VMOA meet where there were 5 of them. The guys were out a couple of hours early in front of the motel with barometers, humidity, altitude gauges. I asked them and they had come from different altitudes and the barometric pressure and humidity factored into how the bike would run so they were setting it up to ride for the day. Well that was it for me, too much sugar for a dime as my Mom would say. That's when I learned how forgiving CV carbs are, LOL! So I traded the 1995 VMax for a 1995 ZX11. That's when I fell in love with ZX1100s. So then I had a 1995 VMax and ZX11 till I left for DC. So I'm guessing 2 or 1.5 is it. A FJ09 as my main bike and a ZUMA scooter for riding to neighbors houses out here at the lake is the right number for me.

Mine looked like that till I put OEM heated grips on my 2015. I had it work out perfect with the OEM heated grips.

Go for the suspension if you want a difference you can feel.

wordsmith, I had mine fly off my face years ago on a trip from California to Louisiana back to California. Back then, mid 70's I was 17, no helmet with a bandanna on my head. Me and a buddy were on my 1976 CB400F. Happened on the way back around sweetwater, TX. Went back and found the left lens on the side of the road. Rich had to drive from then on. My vision is 20/240, in other words I see at 20 feet what most people see at 240 feet. Layed on cement tables at the rest stop before El Paso, TX with 1 eye closed and holding the lens in front of my left eye to look at the stars. Out in west Texas the sky is big with lots of stars. What do they say, it's not the destination it's the ride. That was definitely an adventure, Yes Sir!!!

Here are the last 2 bikes since 2004, a ZRX1100 Eddie Lawson Kawi, a 1996 ZX11 Ninja, notice the handle bars, old man crotch rocket and a 1999 VMax carbon fiber. All from a long list. The list gets pretty long when your in your 60s!

Plus if it's binding like that just think how hot the disk gets going down the road.

One of the first things that left my FJ when I got it. I added weight with a rear rack and SHAD40 liter top case to go with the Hebco-Becker side cases. I took off the rear rider pegs and the bark busters too. I figure you add weight and you take it away. Try, try, try to keep the weight down. I've had a thing for Turono's my whole life......well since I learned Aprilla had them, LOL! Just wish my mechanics didn't have to be Italians to own 1.

So after the removal of the bushings the light fits correctly and looks factory? 😎

How about the fit betoney? I was thinking about the Blaster-X and not getting this; TST Industries | Brake Light Modulator for Yamaha OEM Tail Lights Upgrade your Yamaha OEM tail light with improved safety, style... Now I'm back to getting the brake light modulator with the disappointment with fit and brightness.

And now I know not to waste my money on expensive plugs on the FJ. She apparently isn't high maintenance. 😍

I use soft ties to the lower triple but those are interesting.
