Did the same. Not ideal, but better than stock...

Burned the fuse as soon as I connected my 40W heated vest. Replaced with 5A and all is OK.

Yes, most all bikes are optimistic in reading the speed and fuel consumption. I had only one bike that was fully accurate in all readings - 2009 BMW 1200RT. My previous bike 2016 Africa Twin was +9% on speed, but bang on on fuel consumption amd fuel used.

That is interesting, I would never expect a same size tire of different brand/make to be that larger. Is your Road 5 tire 120/70-17 in size?

If If the tire was to correct the speed reading, it would have to have 9% larger circumference than OEM...

Anyone has installed the Speedo Healer, Speedo Tuner or other gizmo to correct the speed error on Tracer/GT? I understand that it will affect the odometer as well, but how about fuel consumption and use readings?

Similarly as others commented, I got used to the OEM seat, mind you, I lowered its rear by shortening the rubber bumpers by about 7 mm. This seat in combination with rather backwards positioned foot pegs actually makes sense. If nothing, it is fairly forgiving for the men's reproductive organs...😁

I guess, I will never have high speed wobble as I never go over 120 km/h 😁. However I experienced similar problem after I hit a bad pothole. After that I got handlebars wobble around 70 km/h only. Checked the bike front and rear, no damage/bend to rims. Interestingly the problem kind of "healed" itself, after I rebalanced front wheel and found it needed additional 15 gr weight, next to existing 30 gr. The tires have 3500 kms on them.

As I mentioned elsewhere, the fuel gauge and consumption readings are about 10%+ inaccurate/optimistic. Meaning with 4 l/100kms indicated the actual is 4.4 and when display indicates 10 liters of fuel used, the actual is more like 11.5 used. I wish it was correctable through ECU by dealer...

I have something similar from Aliexpress, little bit better looking. Nice thing is they double as hwy pegs (kind of)....

Good idea. Just that shipping cost might be prohibitive...🤔😁

I am no racer, in fact I am probably one of those individuals who slow the traffic. 😎. The only difference I can tell bwtween tires is when I get a flat. To me, the only criteria I have about a tire is miles/$ 🤗. And BTW, the OEM tires on GT are just fine...

No, I am not, exactly as I stated. The downloaded version I have is for MTT850D, 1st edition from January 2018. The printed version is for MTT09DK from March 2018. As per pictures and description identical Tracer GT bikes.

Funny part is that downloaded manual says oil change every 10k km, printed manual every 6k kms. As well, first throttle bodies sync is at 10k kms in downloaded manual and at 1k kms in printed.?

I have no issues with fueling on my GT whatsoever. What I would wish to correct is speed and odometer error, fuel consumption and fuel used errors. Not sure if this is doable...

How is the ST for overall riding comfort. Seating position, leg room, is it much higher than GT to reach the ground? I was seriously looking into ST, but then I sold my 2016 Africa Twin last February and being "bikeless" I bought the GT without test riding it, based on reviews, features and mainly the weight. I am 72 so handling a heavy bike might be an issue.

I live near Riverglade, NB motocross race track and there is a local guy here who does suspensions, I understand mostly for dirt bikes and quads. Will talk to him and see if he can help me somehow...

Yes I did, I have all damping close to minimum (soft). On other hand I am 185 lb guy (without gear) so I cannot ride with minimum preload and side cases attached.

I wonder if somebody could compare the GT or Tracer/FJ vs Super Tenere suspension in terms of softness/handling on rough roads. Some 90% of my riding is on secondary backroads where the pavement is usually very rough, lots of frost heaves and poorly repaired potholes. I do enjoy the GT, but the suspension, both front and rear is killing me.

As I stated elsewhere, my bike's fuel consumption and fuel used are showing consistently ~10% less. At the same time, speed is showing 8% higher and odometer 2% higher.

I have repositioned my Oregon gps, it is installed now horizontally about 1" above handlebars clamp. No more interference, full signal.

Just wanted to reconfirm that with milleage the whine is diminishing. I have now close to 3k kms on the bike and past the first oil change. I can still hear the whine in 6th, it is now limited to about 80 to 95 km/h range (going by gps) only under load and it doesn't bother me any more. So for me the problem is solved.

I think the speedometer calibration and improved quickshifter would be the only items of interest to me... I wonder if speedometer could be adjusted by some standalone method.

I am not sure why people tinker with their ECUs? I have it OEM, runs perfect without any hesitation in any gear or any RPM. More power than I could handle, good fuel consumption...

There are interlocking pins on the joint where you adjust the peg position/angle. The other joint is just a bolt tension. I used a bit of thread locker on both joints and they hold just fine
