Nope definitely not. I had a 75 and 76 firebird, 79 trans am and 67 Camaro. None of em used crush washers 😁.

I'll be moving to Colorado soon (from Miami) I'm still waiting for the 2024 Tracer 9 GT to release so I still don't have a bike. In the meantime I always wanted to try dirtbiking, maybe even snowbiking. How much of motorcycle gear can be used for both purposes? To me at least what I've read seems like only the helmet/bluetooth? Any tips on making price of entry easier? Thanks,

I don't re-use the washers (except when I ran out one time) and buy them by the dozen. My 1st time it was stuck, Putty knife took it off easy. What seems to work well for me is I started dipping my finger in oil and giving a thin coat on both sides before putting it on and just cleaning it up with a rag after the plug is torqued down.

I would've flown to Canada to get one and bring it back... I live 2 miles from the Florida keys...

Loved my '19. Not fond of the squidworth dash (almost a deal breaker) excited to try the hopped up engine. What I was really looking forward to was the BT connectivity so I can finally see my map and maybe the emergency brake assist. If it works as well as advertised and my '19 had it maybe it would have saved me a broken arm, dislocated hand and 110 and counting physical therapy visits... Maybe.

My bike has been my daily driver for the last 7 years. I am just now able to hop on a new bike after totaling my '19 tracer 900 GT back on Valentine's day. I decided to hold out for the '23 tracer, especially after reading all of the improvements. I wasn't a fan of the '21 or '22. If they don't release a '23 tracer next summer I'm just gonna settle for something else. Sad because I'm willing to wait out another 6-8 months without a vehicle for a '23 tracer.

Indeed, thanks for the heads up

I had a 2019 GT also. At 5' 5" with a Neotec 2 the Varioscreen was almost perfect for me. If I scrunched down only about an inch the slipstream would go through my top vent but not hit me in the face 😁

Just like slapping in a magazine. Do it like you mean it and pull to make sure it's locked securely.

Earpeace finally released size small moto earplugs about 2 years ago. They're my go to. I've used a lot of more expensive ones. Earpeace, alpine, eargasm, nonoise. I'm sure they would have all worked better if my ear canals were a bit bigger, but way better than foamies. Fit is very important. I favor attenuating noise filters certain frequencies more over standard earplugs that all block noise. When I first started I used EP3s because it's all I had but they are aimed at stopping impact noise vs continuous noise (I mean they are shooting plugs) Here's a link to a post some time ago from someone that reviewed a ton of earplugs. I chimmed in with my experiences up until that time with a link to a noise study that was done on various noise frequencies.

Yup. Menu locks when a code is there. I also got a Bluetooth OBD2 device just to reset my code when my menu locked. Pretty cool some of the info you can read from your phone while it's on. I can even pull up 0-60 and quarter mile times on mine. Fun to play around with.

Hey guys, I totalled my 2019 Tracer GT back on Valentines day. Thankfully I knew the area was dangerous and already slowed down to about 25 (backed up traffic in left lane, wide open right lane) so I wasn't going that fast at moment of impact but a car pulled through the stopped cars without looking and I T-boned her. Broke my wrist and dislocated my left hand, and I can't stop thinking back on it. I had a unexplained impact injury on top of my forearm about 3 inches above my wrist, almost like someone hit it with a bat. I know it's probably rare, but from the injuries I got I believe I broke my wrist when my torso flew over the handlebars and my wrist got 'wrenched' between the grip and handguard. I should be able to ride in about 6 more months. I'm eyeballing the '23 tracer especially if the get a new dash on there lol. Would it be a bad idea to put breakaway bolts or something on the handguards so it doesn't happen again?

Ah I read about that years ago. Imma have to do that just for fun when I get my new bike 😁 thanks

What's a string line?

@BernardI kinda like the idea of the highway foot pegs. Are this just universal bolt ons? Is there any downsides?
