The stickers are meant for the FJR not Tracer as it has painted body panels

That engine check light should be there so yours is correct

Was the axle lock nut tight when the chain was loose and were the chain adjusters even?

The manual states 35mm-45mm slack when on the centre stand.

So the kit has internal batteries and not external batteries? No need for metal stems with internal batteries. Your original post with just valve caps indicated they had external batteries since it only showed a valve cap and computer

I don't think this is quite true. There is the Triumph Tiger (I believe the XrX is the sporty version), Versys (albeit 600), VFR, Ducati is closer to a litre bike. If you want you can also include the Suzuki V-Strom and BMW 850 which are more adventure bias, and the NC750 although it is targets the more city commute crowd. The reality is whilst the Tracer is more leaned towards sports, most people don't buy it for that specifically so then the touring bias of all the above bikes become relevant

I actually love the fact that the bike is a sport tourer that leans heavily towards sport. For me the main improvement I would like is better ground clearance (not for off-roading) but for more every day use. I think the only features missing on the GT is the electronically adjustable suspension, and, cornering abs. Everything else is just tweaks which I can live without

I believe it is to say when you are reaching the higher end of the set interval (i.e. before orange kicks in) or when you are riding economically

Try Grip puppies. They work wonders The only problem is there is very little clearance in corners so it is almost inevitable you end up dragging them and the centre stand

Ah ok, i missed that part. I think the sentence is being mis-interpreted. "It allows for" doesn't mean it requires. If you look at the Tips section it clearly shows the parameters where it works.

The manual doesn't say full throttle. Section 3-26 says "The Quick shift system operates when travelling at least 20km/h with an engine speed of 2300 r/min or higher, and only when accelerating. It does not operate when the clutch lever is pulled"

I don't think this is an issue on the GT as the exhaust sits lower than the Exhaust. It will bottom out easily though

I haven't come across it on my GT

Shops like aliexpress, ebay and amazon always give you half arsed safety information as they sell cheap knock off brands. If you like at more expensive, known brands like cyclops and Garmin they all specify metal valves Cyclops: Motorcycle Tire Pressure Monitoring System Garmin https://www.louis.eu/artikel/tire-pressure-monitor-system-for-garmin-zumo-345-390-395-590-595lm/10004484

You can easily hit 127 in 2nd gear. At 127kph in 6th gear what revs are you at? In the other gears take your bike past that rev range and it should light up too

Most TPMS devices carry strict warnings that they need metal valve stems. You won't know that the stem is getting damaged until the outer skin fails and rips. if it has to do so it would be a catastrophic failure. Is it really worth the risk for a few euros?

We do see the words "bagster" and "sargent seat" thrown around a lot so it was inevitable cleaning the tubes would show up at some point 🤣 Next one will be sidecar

Yeah but he claims he only sees it in 6th gear

You mean the gear shift light indicator? That comes on when you are at high revs and it is telling you to change gear. Can't see why it is coming on at 127kph in 6th gear though

I don't think your rear preload is useful in this regard. You need to adjust your front forks. They are bottoming out causing you to hit (and not the rear suspension). i.e. front wheel goes over the bump and it bottoms out before the rear wheel touches the speed bump. .......unless you are riding in reverse

With Autosol you don't need steel wool. Just a rag

The easiest (but most messy way to do it is to stick a polishing mop on a low speed drill. Dab some autosol on the exhaust and let it polish away. You will need to put some cardboard behind the downpipes though as it will fling it like crazy. And wear safety glasses.

Haven't done anything yet. Procrastination is still winning

Section 6 of the GT owners manual states the Tyre valve size as TR412. Valve core #9100

@wordsmith - Most tyre places should have. Failing that you can try Ebay or Amazon. Amazon.com: metal+valve+stems Amazon.com: metal+valve+stems You can also use those 90 degree stem valves
