  1. Hi , Has anyone fitted the Genuine Yamaha Billet touring rider foot pegs . And if so are they any good. Cheers Edgar Jessop
  2. I am in England, and had the same problem, the tail tidy was fitted on my 1st service, and as I do not use panniers , only to go to the Isle of Man TT, it was not until 5 months later I found out the panniers do not fit............. was bloody mad. Also the dealer and myself knew nothing of a extension bar !!!!!!!!!!! plus why bother if it is nearly in the same place as the standard one. Went on line and bought a R & G Racing one, brilliant does the right job with or without the panniers. Want my money back from Yamaha........... now 9 months and 7 emails from them saying sorry up to now , with the promise of giving me my money back........ still nothing CRAP SERVICE.
  3. I agree with most said on this subject, apart from the B.M.W. S1000XR, even though I am 72 I have always had Super Sports bikes all my life, and lasted years longer than all my friends........But it has caught up with me , and I had set my sights on the B.M.W S1000XR on paper it was the only bike for me...............then I tested one " gutted" much to tall and the induction noise was bad, also you had to rev the bike hard to get it to go !!!!!!!!! and with a pillion on slowing down the bike slightly weaved at about 10 mph to stopping !!!!!! Tested the 900GT BRILLIANT not made as well as the B.M.W and the gearbox on the B.M.W is better. up and down on the quick shifter. But also over £5000 more money. A few mods and the GT will be FABULOUS.
  4. Hi, On a summers day Hahaha in the U.K. mine runs at 85 on a fast solo run. In traffic on a hot day the cooling fans kick in at about 105.
  5. Cheers m8, I did the same. I also contacted MRA in Germany, they said they would ask in their workshops and get back to me, I am still waiting 4 weeks later......... Fitted it and all is well, just glad I am not the only one that gave up with the piping.
  6. Is this Black screen an M.R.A. screen ? and if so did you fit any push on piping round the screen.
  7. Yamaha do a 15mm lowering kit, but it is a cheap looking thing. I fitted a Lust Racing 20mm lowering kit ,it is much better made as well, carbon steel and CNC machined with a power coated finish. I them dropped the front forks 8mm . SPOT ON brilliant.
  8. Hi, I did put it next to the standard seat on the work bench, and tried to measure them both, there was no difference !!!!!!! just a very very tiny bit narrower in the middle of the seat, so I will just have to see when I ride it. To be honest I did wonder before I bought it, as the stock seat is thin, and you cannot sit on a board hahaha. Just want to get the bike lower, have already fitted a lowering kit. It is because I am an old fart now, and have just sold my Honda FireBlade, and Kawasaki Ninja ZZR 1400 sports. but think I have done well as 73 now. And LOVE the Tracer 900 GT............if it was a little lower would love it more. Cheers Edgar Jessop.
  9. Hi, I have just bought a Yamaha lower rider seat............. only just this minuet fitted it, have not tried it yet as bike still off the road for winter. It " looks" NO lower than the standard seat. Has anyone got one on their 900 GT, and if so is there any difference.? ? Cheers Edgar Jessop.
