I traded it in on this. Going to play in the Dirt now, nothing too serious though.

Thanks for the hospitality, its been a great stay.

Brand new front (3) braided brake lines (for 15) for sale, $250 in Australia.

Maroon Dam, South East Queensland, Australia.

I fitted KTM hand guards to mine. Larger and easy fit.

Where abouts in the country are you located. ????
 

Willowbank SEQ.

@Dobbo  Close up of my beak on the 15 Tracer.

@Dobbo, beak fitted without spacers. 

@Dobbo  I would ditch the two front spacers, mine didnt come with them and it attaches flush with the light cowl.

Roads are generally excellent, heavily policed on weekends. 

The runs up and down near Toowoomba are good, but can be a bit of gravel on the corners. 

Gregors Creek is great as is Esk/Hampton Rd.

Must be getting towards summer for you now, right?

First month of Spring and its already hot, not looking forward to Summer this year.

Nice little 500K run today around South East Queensland, Australia. Pic at Gregors Creek.

@jdavis i went to start my bike and it started for a brief moment then stopped, now it is just cranking but will not fire.
I can hear the fuel pump working and my battery has been tested and is fine.
I can smell fuel and to me it is like when a bike is flooded.
Bike is around 2.5 years old, with 26K on it. (2017 Tracer)

As it is nearly a 500km round trip to get to the local Yamaha dealership, I have contacted the service centre by phone and they recommended that I check / replace my spark plugs. 

Any other ideas where to look?

Cheers Dobbo.
 

Half throttle and keep on cranking, mine has done that before and it was flooded.

Are they more comfortable 

About 100% in my case, several days in the saddle is not a problem.

Is France close enough?

Bagster or Top Sellerie.

mine is a Top Sellerie and very comfortable .

Iput mine where the original was and had it facing down. Long story short, hit the brakes at high speed and and the front of the horn cut the covering of my brake lines against the guard. New lines sitting in the shed waiting fitment.

Looked into it, but am thinking of a new Moto Guzzi v85tt might be the go.

Of course, fix one thing and another crops up...now it's the often-lamented adjustment knobs coming loose...

And this is where the push bike axle comes into play. Your welcome.

This is what you need.

Interesting, not seen these before. Does the riders seat tip you forward ? 

@Tripletrouble, the seat rises slightly at the front, the pic has the bike on the centre stand, so looks fwd sloping.

Top Selerie, is close to Bagster in quality.

Get an ECU flash done, fixes most faults with the fueling.

Get a 'Top Sellerie' from France. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Still have my original battery in my 15 with 75k klm.

I have a Skene wired up to mine as well through a relay wired for negative switching. 

You can adjust the brightness, but you can't use the high beam switch. You need a + signal to get the Skene dimming adjustment function to work. I just jumpered it to the + on the battery to set the brightness level, then reconnected it to the relay. 

Here is a diagram of how to wire the relay to switch with a negative input:

So you connected the 'white' to battery at startup, broke the connection for each increment of adjustment, then when you have the right brightness, you turned the bike off and then reconnect the 'white' to HB. Sound right?
