Tough to match that color without buying several.

I tried some test wrapping. sloppy but just for testing out some different designs. I have some cutting tape on the way which should make the final option look better but this is what I'm thinking about... maybe even adding the 3d Tracer emblem on the bags as well to break up the silver.

Doing a Pandemic ride around the southwest
mellow replied to Clegg78's topic in U.S.Southwest FJ-09 Owners
There's also the life360 app, it's free and you can create a circle of friends that can see where you are and you can send messages. It does require cell service so it's not a 100% solution but not bad for free and cell coverage is always getting better. -
Is the copper red similar to my Miata which is Copper Red Mica? If so.... I painted my engine cover with this and it's pretty darn close. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00407YP8W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't think I'll wrap the entire lid, I think I'll just do the 'swoosh' part of it, the center part as that will be pretty flat and should match the rest of the bike.

One thing I think Yamaha could have done is paint the GT saddlebag lids on the 2019 Silver to match some of the body panels. Or even just the inside portion to just make it match better.... I've see someone paint a red one from AUS which looked good... I may get some wrap and see what I can do...

FJ-Tracer Breakdown Support Network
mellow replied to nhchris's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I did this for the vbulletin and xenforo forum software. But, it required custom coding, you add a few new userfields to designate you've opt'd in to the 'network' as well as contact info, phone, email, etc.. Then you have to build a custom page to display all those that have opt'd in and sort by state/city/locale. At the end of the year you clean out the opt-in field so it returns a blank page on 1/1.. then, let people re-opt-in. That way the list stays active/recent and doesn't get stale. I know nothing about this Invision software so not sure how easy something like that would be. -

What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?
mellow replied to yamaham's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
How did you do the wiring for those? -
I have about 7,000 miles on an EK chain with that nut master link setup and it's fine. Working great, no stretch I can determine and it was very easy.. so easy, you worry at first.. lol.. but I'll bet these from now on, I'm sold.

Running,starting engine on centre stand
mellow replied to Clicknow's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
You will get a code.. not sure what the threshold is but I did and I had to get a diagnostic tool to reset. All good now. I will never run the bike to lube the chain, to me, too risky and I know someone that is now missing a finger due to this type of behavior so I try to learn from others. I'll put mine on the centerstand and lube while slowly rotating the tire by hand... I only do a short section at a time and start where the rivets are so I know when I've gotten all the way around... I'll do that once a day whether it's a 300 or 1000 mile day and really it's more to clean the chain than it is to lube it. -
Thanks

From the description, the GTs seem to only have a stiffer side carcass so maybe just better to hold up a heavy bike and no real benefit for wear. I may try the Roadsmart 3s even though I'm not crazy about dunlop.
-
1 - I don't even know where that is. 2 - If I did, I'd just screw up and dump the bike. 3 - When that did happen, a bunch of young girls would just say "Hey look, some old guy just had a heart attack" 4 - It would then be on youtube.
-
yeah, just noticed the other day one of mine popped off... not sure I'll worry about it enough to order replacements... maybe after a year when I know the mirrors are solid and don't need any more adjustments.
-
I know they are made for the heavier bikes, but just wondering if it would get better wear vs the PR5... mine are at around 6k now and not sure they'll make it to 7k. Not terrible mileage but I expected at least 8k.

Denali Daytime Running Lights - Any Opinions?
mellow replied to betoney's topic in FJ-09 Parts and Accessory reviews
Found a better cheaper option, $13 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L8YZ0GU/ref=twister_B01L8YZ0G0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 So, you get a DLR that matches the Tracer LED strips and an amber signal light up high. -

Denali Daytime Running Lights - Any Opinions?
mellow replied to betoney's topic in FJ-09 Parts and Accessory reviews
I think I answered my own questions... the Denali lights can be wired dual intensity... I'm going to mount to the GT hand guards and see how they look. -
Denali Daytime Running Lights - Any Opinions?
mellow replied to betoney's topic in FJ-09 Parts and Accessory reviews
I have the amber ones and they attach to the sides of the fairing inside towards the radiator. They are pretty bright... has anyone thought about putting them on the handguards or would they be too bright and annoy someone in slow or stop/go traffic? I think the flush mounts at around 4.5 inches would just fit on the handguards. Do the DZELLs for the FJ fit the Tracer GT? Would prefer a running/signal operation vs the Denali Running only. -
Anyone know if the FJ and Tracer forks are the same size? Would like to add those upper fork mounts for an aux light bar.

Review of Amazon Radiator Guard. Fits 900 GT perfect

Just got mine today. Very nice quality and good fit. Thanks!- 16 replies

Not sure if there's a way to tighten that part of the mirror itself... maybe there's some hidden screw somewhere.

I have 5500 on my rear PR5 and it might go to 7k.
