So I'll be doing sprocket change and dont have heat gun. What are people using, is propane needed or electric will do the job? Thanks,

Everywhere i look the XT is priced at $499. Where are you saving $150? Thks,

@mumph where do you live? Me and prob others have OEM exhaust laying around for sale.

Moldex Rockets Reusable UnCorded Earplugs Been very happy with these. Used for maybe 3 years now. Have a channel to hear spoken voices but block wind noise. Each pair last months. YMMV

There is zero engine heat for me with this bike at over 13k miles. I rode 300 miles with temps peaking at 100F. The road surface was cooking but nothing from the bike. Zero.

Just get a set of used OEM ones from anyone who installed aftermarket levers... Ebay, FB, this site, the guy who replied to your post, etc.

Of course it looks better w a beak, just like Daffy.

Hot for sure but good to be on a bike that throws no heat compared to any 4 cylinders...

I'm getting old. I spent as much time looking at the fried chicken as I did anything else online. I actually zoomed in to get a better look at the breading.

Graves plates in, AIS out. Done w first sparkplug change.

That is the correct setup you show. By lower bolt I meant the one that holds the radiator stay shown here.

@petshark, I just did my plugs for first time along w AIS delete. Definitely remove 2 upper and 1 lower radiator bolts. Gives plenty of room to work. I used magnetic sparkplug socket and two 3" extensions. A 6" wont have angle to get in there. Good luck!

No, i meant best way to clean the TB inlet ports in the picture. Thks

Great, thanks for info Skip. I was a little worried as you can probably tell. Running OEM air filter, havent changed it yet. Any special cleaner to use beside a wipe w rag?

Hey all, doing my first plug change and AIS delete of my 2019 Tracer GT at 13k miles. Figure halfway point to the 26k valve check. After removing airbox, I was somewhat surprised at look of my TB's. Some blackish discoloration at ends in all 3 and some fuel(?) residue. Is that normal? Best way to clean? Thanks,

Put a beak on your bike. And if it doesn't solve the "wind on a motorcycle" problem you're having, hey at least the bike looks better... 😄

ok, to put some (my) perspective on this to inform future buyers: i came from inline 4's, an 07 FJR w 46k miles and 2 R1's, an 08 and a 14, each over 10k miles. The triple will not overwhelm you when downsizing from 4 cylinders to 3. But like everything it's all a mater of tradeoffs. It was a rare occurrence when i could unwind my R1 in anything past 3rd gear. It was so fun at high RPM's but they just arent achievable on the street without serious risk of "performance award" citation. The FJR just cruised effortlessly down the highway at 80+ mph and could go all day at that pace and could easily "rev" it to over 120 with plenty to spare. But I now ride a Tracer 900 GT w maybe 13k miles And love it more because I use 90%+ of the rev range on a regular basis. I'm always in A mode unless tight twisties, then im in Std. The bike runs much cooler, the engine is much narrower than an inline 4. The overall bike is fast, effortless to ride, and fun in the twisties. My $.02.

Here's an option. Looks good, sounds good. Very happy w it.

Seems like you painted the bike to match your helmet. (Probably alot more people just get a new lid). Looks good!

I had an FJR in the past and put a similar size dent in my header pipe from a speed bump. Absolutely no difference in performance. Yeah if you lived on the east coast i'd almost give you my OEM full exhaust. Just sitting in the garage...

With the OEM exhaust on this as a hole out the bottom it'll be interesting to see if any aftermarket exhaust options will be available.

Wait! one more vote for Urinal Cakes, although i see it as a blend of Yamaha Anniversary Yellow with Metallic Sheen. So in my head, I'm voting for YAYMS but i had to click the "UC" option in the vote.

Ditto. Live in NJ, USA

Looks good and sounds better.

I liked them on my 2019 Tracer GT. Got about 7,200 miles from the set. Changed to Metzeler next which I dont like as much. Plus Dunlop has cool commercials for Motoamerica!
