bugie

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

The interesting thing is that the TracerGT has very few direct competitors with most other manufacturers sticking with litre++ mega-tourers or adventure-tourers. So Yammy haven't got a lot of competitors snapping at their heels to keep them innovating and improving. Does that mean they should be lurking in this forum to keep in touch?  I hope so 

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

4. The engine is very very smooth down low.   Gets a bit buzzy above 6K RPM.   I do have some bar vibrations I need to look into.  I owned a Triumph Sprint ST Triple before this so I know how they can get in the upper RPM bands. 5

Try Grip puppies. They work wonders

5. Foot position is good, if agressive for an upright bike like this.  GReat for corners, but I need to work on the see height a bit.  I think the lower seat height is great for at stop lights, but when riding the higher seat height may fit me better to give the legs some room.    And yes my boots hit the passenger peg brackets, but I actually liked reaching my boots back and resting on them a little bit a few times on the ride. 

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

2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT – Owner's Manual – 120 Pages – PDF

This one does.

 

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.

I think the term "full-throttle" in the manual is a little misleading. 

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

bugie is correct. It only comes on in 6th gear and always at 127. Maybe my Tracer has 7 gears???? I'll adjust the settings and see if it changes. Thanks guys.

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?

I thought this was a FJ-09 Tracer forum, not a Harley forum.  🙄

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 have a 2019 Tracer 900 GT.

On certain speedbumps in my neighborhood my frame/exhaust bottoms hits the speedbump pretty hard whenever I have a passenger. Pretty scary (especially with a passenger and I'm imagining it isn't doing my bike any favors). My rear preset (Knob) is set to max.

I drop off my son daily (I have found ways to avoid speed bumps leaving but coming in there are 2 speedbumps I can't avoid) but other than that I would say I am on the bike solo 95% of the time.

 

What do you guys suggest?

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

I uses fine steel wool, chrome and metal polish and a lot of elbow grease. Once they're cleaned up it's easier to maintain. 

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.

You can also use those 90 degree stem valves
