Great news the problem is solved @piotrek

What I'd like to know is the WHY of it.

What caused the iridium plug to fail after 12 months? And what actually failed within the plug? 

Huuummmm.

If the pic of both side by side plugs are correct the iridium is much shorter. Would that not be an issue at higher rpm, tip being further away?

~ SOLVED ~

@skipperT hammers it into the net, and @phpaul gets the assist. Gone are the iridium plugs and so is the problem. Thank you.

I first ran the re-flashed ECU through all the diagnostic tests (all checked out great), and then rode the bike with the iridium plugs. Sure enough... the issue resurfaced, with no error codes. Replaced with NGK CPR9EA-9 and the bike sailed past 7,000RPM without a hiccup. For interest's sake... photo of the two electrodes below. I don't recall having this problem before later last year, with the plugs at ~30K kms. I will stick with the stock plugs. NGK rates them at 30K miles.

All that mess and headache over a set of plugs. Just remember K.I.S.S. 

Pretty sure I will be ok, it’s not the only forum on the planet but I would like to know why what I said bothers you? Maybe you could suggest something to him or just keep on saying stuff like you’ve been doing, you seem to be good at it. 

Mans got to know his limitations and I believe with the Tracer you have exceeded yours. My father is 88 and I remember he called me back when he was around 80 to ask if I could come to his house and crank the chainsaw.......no way! If you can’t crank it you sure can’t use it. You said you were having a hard time getting on the bike, maybe it’s time for a trike. Bash away 

That’s called insanity if you thought it was going to get better each time, which is what he wants. I love my bike but it will never be a sport bike, a true cruiser or a dirt bike. Can you make it shorter to fit you? Yes but it comes with sacrifices and it sounds like he doesn’t want to accept them, so choose another. 

Possibly but how much time and money can you spend polishing a 💩 to get it to your satisfaction? If he’s already had one and couldn’t figure out how to make it into what he really wanted then try another bike, that’s all. 

Choose another bike 

Well I was trying to be funny and  sarcastic but I guess it didn’t come off as that. Guess my girlfriend is right, I’m not funny at all. 

I think he meant he went to a bar and thought about it then washed it one more time. Not sure what a clay bar is but maybe it’s an autocorrect for political correctness, or something. 

Wheels are nice but it does kinda look like Yamaha threw up on it 

I installed some leds on the hand guards. Could have wires them to the running lights and blinkers but decided to just leave them on with the headlight. 

I prefer to worry, helps me sleep and makes the days go faster 

With the oil halfway up the glass as you showed it will be fine. Honestly do you think if you don’t fill it up to the max line on the sight glass damage will occur? I trow not. 

Not at all, make a wrong a right. Isn’t that how we learn? 

Now you should edit your title and apologize for jumping to conclusions about Yamaha having starter issues. 
Nice one Yamaha 👍 not “Nice one a Yamaha 👎” Until you know for sure, don’t be a d.... 

I seen those but really don’t like the look. Guess I will keep searching 

The 19 tracer guards are a little different, think this will still work?

Anyone using these yet and if so what brand? Pics?

Anyone offering a wrap for the stock 900gt panniers? Found plenty of sticker kits but nothing for a wrap.
