This might help. It has the steps for removing panels. 

Triumph Tiger 660 Sport? It's getting good reviews and has a triple engine and good gas mileage. Lots of optional add on's from Triumph like up/down quick shifter, heated grips, blue tooth pairing etc. They are selling the remaining 2022's with side cases at a pretty good price here in Canada and would expect the same in the US. A drawback is Cruise Control and centre stand are not available. 

Yikes that seems expensive. Why didn't you order the oil change kit off the Yamaha Canada website? 3 Litres of oil, oil filter, crush washer and cardboard funnel for $61 regular oil or $77 full synthetic plus tax. It says free shipping on orders over $49.

Garz747 would you mind sharing what insurance company you are using? I'm in Toronto, mid 60's and over $1k for full coverage.

If you run it at idle in first gear on the kickstand you should be ok but if you speed up you will likely get an error code.  What part of MSGA are you? I'm in east Tor but in the Cawthra Lakeshore area most Thursday mornings and you could borrow my cable if needed.

I have a 2019 and it's been doing the same since it was new. The 2 Yamaha bikes I had before this one always started instantly even after sitting over the winter. Shortly after getting the Tracer I took it to the dealer and left it with them for a few days and they couldn't find a problem and they handed me a bill for diagnostic work. Showed them a video of the long crank time and they said it didn't look to bad and was probably normal. Contacted Yamaha and they said take it to the dealer to check if there is something wrong. 

The funny thing is after I added leads to the battery for a battery tender for a month or two after the bike started up right away without the long cranking. Eventually though the long cranking came back. It only happens after the bike has sat for a few days between starting. I let the fuel pump fully prime, tried opening the fuel cap before starting, left the bike on a battery tender during the down time, try to use non ethanol premium fuel, checked to make sure the battery terminals are tight and the bike is kept in a garage. After sitting for a few days I have to crank for 3 to 5 seconds to start. After that it starts up immediately until the next time it has sat for a few days.

If you find a cure please share. 

Is it on the right hand side? It is most likely the shift indicator light telling you when to a higher gear. 

Do you have any tips for separating the inner panel from the outer panel without breaking the tabs trying to remove the toothed washers? 

You made the right choice getting a replacement for the one the fell over. Good luck with your new ride. Enjoy. 

Good call. Like you it would bother me every time I'd walk up to the bike. Good luck with your replacement. 

If you have the paint code try an Automotive paint supply store in your area and see if they can mix some up for you.  You should be able to get it in a spray can or in a paint can so you can apply it with a touch up brush. They can mix it up single stage (shiny finish) or two stage that you apply a clear coat on top. It will be hard to get a perfect match but the two stage might be closer. When I got it for the car in Toronto it costs around $27 for either a 11 OZ spray can or 1/2 pint can for touching up with a brush.

Rovari when you pick up your bike you should get a paper copy of the owners manual. Until then you can download the 2019 version of the owners manual and it will show you the the operation of the TFT screen.

1. No difference between the 19 and 20's

2 I have a stock 2019 and happy with it the way it came. I'm sure a suspension upgrade would improve the ride but it's never stopped me from wanting the go for a ride and push it through the turns. The stock seat is not the greatest but better than other bikes I have owned. The windscreen causes a loud roar at speed and can be bothersome and the placement of the ignition key makes it awkward to get at with gloves on. Despite this a twist of the wrist usually puts a big smile on my face.

3. It's hard to make a recommendation without seeing the 2021 in person however I don't think I could get past that split instrument cluster and the $2000 price increase has put it to a point where I would be looking at other bikes that I wouldn't have when I bought my Tracer. 

If you haven't sat on a Tracer yet you should try and do so. I believe your NC750 has a lower seat height and at 5' 8' you might find flat footing it on the Tracer  a challenge.  

Transport Canada has issued a recall notice for different models including the 2019/20 Tracer GT to fix a brake switch defect that can also cause the Cruise Control to not work or turn off. 

Great video. Really enjoyed watching it. 

Ordered mine on July 26th and it arrived exactly 2 weeks later at my door in Toronto. 

Is  $11500 for the GT model or the standard version? If you are thinking of getting one you should consider the GT with cruise control, quick shifter and TFT dash.

Your FZ6 (not the FZ6R) is a great bike. I had one for a few years and put many enjoyable miles on it. I don't notice any significant free play in the throttle on my Tracer and as soon as you twist it it gets up and goes. The difference between the Tracer and your FZ6 is on the Tracer there is power  everywhere where as on the FZ6 it really starts to kick in after 6000 RPM.  I'm surprised you found the Tracer more jerky, the FZ6 is not the smoothest bike on the market. A simple fix on the Tracer is to put it in B mode, I ride in Standard mode most of the time and love it. I'm 6' 1' and also find it a challenge to get a leg over the bike with bags on and ride without them most of the time. At 5' 6"  I would think it would be even more challenging and probably similar for you on most bikes with bags attached. 

If your riding is not enough to justify getting one I would recommend getting the most out of your FZ6 for now and when ready check out all the bikes that are available in the style you like.

Welcome and congrats on the new bike. What area of France are you from?

After owning a couple of Yamaha motorcycles I was used to them firing up almost instantly upon pushing the starter however when I bought the Tracer 900 last year I found as you did that it took 2 to 3 seconds or even more to start up even after letting the fuel pump run.  It happened only when the bike was cold from sitting over night or for a couple of days, otherwise the bike would start instantly. I made an appointment with the dealer to have them check it under warranty and even showed them a video of what was happening. They said it was probably normal but did some tests and said they could find nothing wrong and charged me for the service. Later in the year I connected leads for a battery tender to the battery and made sure the connection was tight. From that point forward the bike started much better and without the 2 to 3 second cranking. Even this year when I brought the bike out from winter storage it started right up. Not sure what changed and can only surmise the battery connections were loose when I originally picked up the bike. 

I received a discount from my insurer in Ontario Canada of approximately 10% per car (2 cars) because of reduced vehicle use due to Covid 19. It covers the months of March through to the end of May. I had to state that I was using the vehicles for essential trips only (groceries and or pharmacy) and not for driving to work.  There is no discount for my motorcycle because they consider it a seasonal vehicle.

I have a 2019 Tracer and got a trouble code while running in gear on the centre stand. I believe it happens if you go over a certain speed (10 MPH ?) and it may have something to do with the ABS or traction control thinking there is a malfunction because the front and rear wheels are out of sync. I bought a 4 pin Yamaha OBD cable that connects to the port under the seat and used my cheapie OBD2 reader to pull the code, cross reference to confirm and then clear the code. Cheaper than a trip to the dealer.

As for lubing the chaining while running in gear, be very careful that you don't have any loose clothing or get your fingers near the chain the results could be catastrophic. I think a better way is just turn the wheel by hand while on the centre stand and the engine turned off.

Check the over flow tube to make sure it is not blocked causing a partial vapour lock. There might be some dirt on it where it come out the bottom of the bike. 

To the original poster, did you ever get this sorted out? I have a 2019 Tracer GT and is doing exactly what you described. Took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong. 

Welcome. Enjoy your new ride.

Hello from Toronto Ontario Canada. Picked up a new  grey with white 2019 Tracer 900 GT yesterday. Previous bike was a 2013 Yamaha FZ8 so getting used to the more upright seating position not as much bend in the knees. Still trying to figure out how to position my feet on the pegs.  Put about 200 KM (125 miles) on it today and so far really enjoying it.
