OMG that's awful.  Just curious....

I don't see any skid marks on that road section.  Did you manage to brake at all before impact???  Did ABS activate???

yeah the ABS went nuts so we know that worked, it kept it in complete control till the impact

That’s a scary photo. There’s a lot of force involved in that breakage!

How did you manage to keep a round front wheel and yet crack the triple tree?

some sort of science that i have yet to understand. the tire still held its PSI

yeah im fine, dont know if ill be riding this year, depends on recovery length

totaled my 2019, not even 5000 miles 

some lady pulled out in front of me, admitted fault. 

broken thumb and bones in both hands. looks like it time to go shopping

the tow truck did more damage than the actual accident. but she did crack my triple tree in half

Nothing epic, just a few overnight trips, the first to the Georgia Guidestones near Elberton, Georgia, and the second to Robert Johnson's supposed grave in Greenville, Mississippi (with stops at Elvis Presley's birthplace and William Faulkner's home).  These are two sites that have long been on my things to see.

decent ride

There might be one in my future

i got my 19 GT for $12,950 OTD with taxes on 12/30/18. keep looking

I had the ones in the first pic, but when the bike fell over, the impact was on the  engine case, the bar end and the pannier.replaced them with the Givi knockoffs and they cover the engine cases.

do you have a head on photo, like to see how far it sticks out?

you can disconnect the sensor at the wheel, it will throw a code but you can plug it back in and clear it no issues

Here is the one I bought. You will find more info and links here on the site if you search. Have not used it yet.

Yamaha Diagnostic 4 Pin to OBD2 cable With Autel MS300 scanner

...

 

thats what i have too. the yamaha cable  was 25 and the scanner was 11 off amazon. worked perfect 

put a screw through it 

Akraprovic, you can take the silencer out if you want it louder 

i like it, nice snag

I installed new suspension. Wilbers fork springs with appropriate spring rate for my weight, and oil with higher viscosity.

And at the back Wilbers 640 shock with hydraulic preload adjuster.

how is it. does it make that much of a difference for the rear?

Finished installing the heated seat, threw the button in a more accessible location

got the diagnostic tool and 4pin ODB2 connector. got rid of that amber engine light

I've got the full Akro on my '15 Tracer. It's a little heavier than I wanted but sounds nice!

did you pull the baffle out?

Installed full Akrapovic today
