Yamabits only for Europe ?.

I have a Tracer 900 2017 model which I fitted an R&G fender extender which I used the plastic rivots for piece of mind

Have you read up concerning a Lithium battery using particular chargers and the effects of cold weather

The Worx Hydroshot is only about 300psi max with high and low pressure settings because it uses a battery instead of mains ,whereas something like the Karcher is about 1400psi so this is why I picked it, just to help get any winter muck off the downpipes and front of the engine

I have just fitted the Yamaha MT09 adventure foot pegs, finally joy at last over the OEM alloy pegs which I think were more like from the R6. Wider and with the main rubber grip insert you notice the difference, only thing I noticed now was the rear brake pedal felt a little lower but that will easily be remedied

Here is a video that as other details but also shows how to install a battery on a Tracer.

I hope it helps

Winter blues comes with winter crud from the road surfaces unless you live in the warm climates. What's your choice of cleaning the crud off your bike ?, mine is using the Worx Hydroshot with a camping 40ltr water barrel as I don't have direct access to a tap i can connect the hose to.

I suppose it all depends on how much you want to spend

Has anyone changed the original power socket for a KTM type which actually holds a charger plug in tight and will not vibrate out ?, at the moment I just duct tape my charger plug in into the socket

Hi all.

Just a simple question, how do you get onto your tracer🤔, what I mean is do you just have the side stand down and swing your right leg over or have the main stand down, climb on by using the footpeg then push forward off the stand.

I have ordered the adventure footpegs from Yamabits, they sent me a picture of the assembly showing complete with all the fittings, cannot wait to fit them

Welcome..

With a short reply 😄

Don't go too mad on buying accessories or you might end up with a BMW.

Screen, seat, luggage, rad guard and fender extenders main choice if touring

Has anyone seen or fitted these Puigs foot pegs yet ?

When I finally wore out the original Dunlops I went onto Metzler Roadtec 1's, they seem to be a good all-round tyre that have been noted for excellent wet weather conditions, if you live in areas that get rain throughout the year

How many riders never use the kill switch to stop the engine instead of just turning off the ignition by the key. When I was at college doing an evening class in motorcycle engineering this was a must by using the kill switch instead of the just using the key as this can bring on a number of faults within the ignition system, the kill switch is easier to get to than the key, especially on the Tracer 900

Have you tried contacting any manufacturers that make skid plates 

The Yamaha adventure foot pegs, do they come complete with fixing pins and springs as it doesn't say on the website

Like most I think the style of the Yoshi is much better than the underslung exhaust.

Just read on Yoshimura's website you cannot fit the right hand pannier with this exhaust

This was taken directly from Scottoiler website 

I used to have a Scottoiler on my old 600Fazer and it worked ok without much mess, it just all depends which setting you have it on, if riding distance and speed then you only need settings 2 or 3 at the max

Have you looked at Scottoilers website, they usually show where to fit the oil container and run the pipe for particular bikes

I changed the handguards to Puig ones and it helped a bit with the high speed wobble as I think the original ones are more like an aileron shape

Maybe grease from chain on the exhaust ...?

I am sure this is where the smell comes from as the chain runs close to the exhaust main collector box, especially on cold starts

Menu switch ?
