  1. Next for me are Avon Trailriders. https://www.motorcycletyrewarehouse.com.au/avon-trailrider-12070-17-18055-17-freedelivery
  2. Are they standard blinkers? mine are totally different OEM for Australia. Clear lens and bayonet bulb.
  3. I just used normal bulb replacements, but I have now ordered ones with less LED's.
  4. Put in LED indicator bulbs, waaaay to bright, so ordered some duller ones. Had to grind off one pin as the Yamaha holders have an offset pin arrangement.
  5. Mount Nebo, back of Brisbane Queensland, Australia.
  6. Put a pushbike front wheel holder through the windscreen adjusters, works a treat. Do a search on the forum for the exact fitting instructions.
  7. No, different design, standard FJ09 comfort seat is what your looking for.
  8. The Adventure spec GS has a larger tank capacity and longer suspension. I am looking at standard GS atm and it is about the same seat height as the Tracer and a bit more fuel.
  9. That is the way I am going as well, had the valve stems done the other day and now waiting for current tyres to wear enough. By the way of interest, did you have a second choice for tyres?
  10. Not sold in Australia unfortunately.
  11. What tyres are you running? Grip good on dirt as well as tar?
  12. Got cought on my way down Mt Glorious, a local run that sees more police than riders. pic not by the police though.
  13. @scopie85, I can ride a tank and a half without discomfort, plus I can slide back and forth when needed. I don't know what foam the French are using, but it works very well.
  14. @Rex_4321 As luck would have it, this locally available screen https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/313059507031 will fit the 2015/2016 model with very minor modification to the mounting plate (bottom 2 holes of the new screen align, top 2 have to be moved higher up to where the 'metal prongs' are, remove the rubber plugs from them and drill out with a 9mm bit). This comes from China I also got hold of a similar gps phone holder bracket locally at a great price https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/283877887195 it looks like a replica of the one you showed me. It's very decent quality and quite sturdy, made out of steel. I had to use a little bit of fine wet and dry sandpaper in between the ball (not made of rubber) and the phone holder clamp to help it grip. This is the one that vibrates your phone, early prototype. This is the phone holder I went for as I don't have a quad lock syste, https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-X-Grip-Motorcycle-Motorbike-Phone-Holder-Mount-Clamp-USB-Fast-Charge/323934055755. it's fairly decent quality for the money and very sturdy. The arms on this one will press the phone buttons,if the phone is centred. Good luck with your ongoing project.
  15. Still find a new 'older model' around, check the shops.
  16. If your bike is 15 model, ecu wont take the factory quickshifter, but aftermarket will cover it.
  17. I tried with mine, but the screens are separate and I couldn't figure out the process to do the smaller one. The smaller one also has wire ribbon into its side, seems very fragile. I gave up on doing any of it, although if you wanted to do the main screen it should work the same as the 09.
  18. If Yamaha bought out an electronics package like the current Kwakas or BM's I would be happy. Suspension upgrades would be nice, saves doing it all later. They have the engine and frame, but, everything else could be upgraded. I was talking to a GT owner the other day and his bike still looked like my 15, just different colours, and he spent 4k before it left the showroom on suspension and exhaust. That upgrade to his put it in the same price range of the top line FX.
  19. The BMW XR will most likely be my next bike unless Yamaha can bring the GT into the 21st century.
  20. @Rex_4321, Where are you located? Suspension setup properly, I had mine done in Brisbane by Ride Dynamics. I have a GIVI Screen from Webike in japan.

  21. I go to the 'Ruptured Budgee' Rally each year. and every time there is a 'Hit a kangaroo' story and a trophy for same. Its between Tenterfield and Texas.
  22. New 'HH' pads fitted to the Tracer today, bloody stops now.
  23. Helping out Mitch with his 'L's'. Learners must be supervised here in Australia.
