As a side note I’m in Sunnyvale CA for a month helping our son and wife with new baby.  No motorcycle and too much time but thought you folks in other states would like this

Well in Europe prices are from about 6.50$ to 7.60$ in Italy.

@krucymucy that is an awesome write up on the Tutoro inparticular the installation...well done and thank you!! Like your fabrication of the supporting brackets (very clever) as the additional swingarm mounting kit Tutoro have available does not suit the Tracer.....wish I was able to do that (fabricate).

I can share dxf file and 3D model if you want. I've sent this to a guy who operates laser cutting machine and he made it basically from "left overs".

Did you wrap that yourself? It looks great! I'm looking into the 2020 (since I can't find a 2019 in CA) and I'm not a huge fan of the sparkle red color. 

Didn't do it myself. My friend does this kind of stuff and he is more skilled than I am. My comfort zone ends at rim stickers :)

Third service done at 20.008 km. 

Changed spark plus, air and oil filter, engine oil, brake fluid ... 220€

I'm considering mushroom type plug which is mounted from the inside out.

Today I changed tires. Had a puncture on Michelin Power RS last week. I wasn't mad, they have been worn out, good for maybe 500km more.

So I've ordered some new rubber. Conti Sport Attack 4.

Put them on today, went for a short ride to warm them up for the first time and to remove the not so sticky upper layer.

and after just 52km this happened. 🤬

A bit more black for this season ...

Silver side panels wrapped...

All good, but it takes four hours to install them

@krucymucy - Outstanding!  The TDM in the background nodding its head in agreement is an especially nice touch... 

Well played.

thanks, it was my first try at so called "stop motion" and I now see what I missed there. 

first thing is the light. I should have used only lights in my garage not the sunlight outside. 

second is some of the photos should have longer duration, some shorter, like TDM nodding for example. 
I'll learn  

I actually did this on Saturday but hey, it took almost four hours

the tracer hold 18 ltrs max not 19 plus.

 

But it does. Unless Swiss petrol station didn't rip me off.

I've managed to fill with more than 19 liters, almost 19.5l.

@texscottyd I don't know. I guess I left them on just to have a felling about lean angle when they start scraping telling it's time to chill a bit. They're almost gone now.

As for center stand I removed an original rubber and replaced it with very thin one. Just enough that it sits on rubber.

Whose / Which rubber are you running?

These particularly one's are Mitas Sport Force +. I'm currently running Michelin Power RS+.  

Any more than this and you go to the nearby bush. Center stand is raised, the next thing to scrape on tarmac is side stand. 

One from yesterday... not sure where to put it though...

I've been waiting for this...

I see you have a lot of clearance when dragging the pegs (awesome pic). I am finding that when I drag the pegs I am actually dragging the centre stand too. Have you done any mods to raise the centre stand (like cutting down the rubber)?

I did. I removed original rubber part on the centre stand and put on few millimetres thinner instead. I had the same problem with centre stand dragging. It's about 20mm higher now at the end.

Running in new set of tires...

Depends on the weather ...

In the rain and in combination with rev'it textile suit I use Sidi Adventure 2 goretex boots ...

And for sunny days and short trips in leather suit I use TCX RT-race boots ...

I'm just here to say I finally found a solution how to deal with all the salt on the roads.

I was looking for a good anti-corrosive coat or a lubricant to prevent any kind of corrosion on my Tracer GT. 

I found it.

It's called Yamaha TDM 900

Sweden was getting in the way of Great Britain so I had to move it to the other side ...

Finished rear shock today. 

I had to remove reservoir and complete side fairing to access the upper bolt.
