My rubber plug went on holiday a long time ago.  🙂

Is this lifting the front when in low position.?   What does the seat line look like from the side.?  Slope is an issue with oem seats. 👍

Glad your enjoying the tracer.  Tyre pressure should be F 33  R 36. The stock suspension should be able to cope with your weight no problem.  If you have future plans for 2 up touring then maybe look at it again. 

Think I'd be on the water in this weather. 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Had a little run over some hills near the English/Welsh border. Wales still out of bounds for us from England due to their tighter restrictions over covid. Very happy with the new tail bag, plenty of room and liking the looks. Bit trickier getting on and off bike now though. 🤷‍♂️

 Nice views from Clee hill today, getting very warm at the moment.  Quite happy to get home and back in shorts,  t shirt and a beer or 3. 🍻

I have occasionally had the same thing happen.  Turning the ignition switch off and on again resets it.  I have no idea what the problem was.

This is the answer to most modern electronic failures. 👍

I've had this issue on bikes with hydraulic, not cable clutch.  

Hope you get it sorted.

Looks like the fixing ring that clamps down on the tank bag ring. Thay bit is missing. 

I don't get it... one wheel up front should give enough grip. Also, when avoiding debris or speed bumps those wheels aren't in my line. Looks hideous, very heavy, more tyres, Nope, not for me.

Got this the other week.  Perfect fit for pillion seat. Two straps underneath,  easy and solid fix. Bit more space for stuff. Imo there look a lot better than tank bags. 

Acf50 is brilliant stuff. When applied to metal, it will protect the finish for a long time, working like a barrier and also stop any corrosion getting worse.  Also good on black plastic, deepens the colour if your dedicated rag is handy. 

I rubbed that bit with a rag and a little acf50 on afterwards, but it really wasn't much, looked bad in pic for some reason. 

 On Tuesday I took the tracer to Oulton park in uk for the first time.  I've heard about dodgy stock tyres, soft suspension, brakes etc. All I can say is, the bike was brilliant.  It was a damp start and the dunlops dont get much praise in the wet, so it was steady away .The sun soon showed up however and is hot now and the track soon dried up.

 The cp3 is a blast, pulling hard to the limiter. I imagined the 0 to 100mph on these is up there with the best of them. On the fast sweepers the bike felt settled with no concerns.  Front brake when really pulled is very strong,  abs kicked in a couple of times and feels horrible but no drama, pull the lever hard enough and you will stop. Tyres worked well with no real concerns and i felt pretty confident with them on the drying track.  It is usually in the wet where some tyres fall short, on warm, dry tarmac, if there rubber, they grip.

 I recently bought a cheap action camera.  Didn't want to pay much for occasional use. Got the Apeman a77 off Amazon for £40. It's great. Sound is ok, picture is pretty decent,  comes with loads of accessories and 2 batteries. I fixed it to L/h hand gaurd bolt, worked very well. One of the 2 small bolts.

 All in all, the tracer is a blast to ride on road and track, thanks mainly due to the superb CP3 motor.

 A great day had. 👍

Can someone tell me,  do these bikes have a slipper clutch.?

Yep, as any electric fiddling been done prior to these probs arising,  bumpy road,  Any warranty or alien activity in the area. 

Haha.. looks a lot worse than it is..but yes, good idea. 👍

Is this with clutch change only or QS aswel.?  

Had a look at this today. It does nothing but cover sharp edge. When seats are on, nothing sits on it. It's easy to catch it when removing riders seat.

I'll take a photo when I get chance. It's from under riders seat. Sits over sharp edge, left side and sits along the bike. Hard to explain.  Mines fell off a few times. Think it would be quite happy in the bin.

Brilliant stuff...👍

Mid-June test run

MY 19 tracer.  Widest point of bar end is 33 inches.  Mirrors 36.

Add Heated grips, Rad gaurd and tail tidy.  then buy it. 👍

Does the seat come with a neck support to help on the twisties.??

Got the hack saw blade under the seat. More room now. Someone on here did it last week. 👍

If using a compressor, connect it directly to the battery with alligator clips or battery tender SAE connector.

I've got an old optimate charger with tm connection. Just noticed my compressor has cig connection and sae so converter to either would work. Ye, got crocodiles aswel, but was wanting to use battery lead. 👍

I will check fuse size on battery lead but hoping it works.

Lead to battery has 15a fuse.

It looks like that TM68 is rated for 5 amps max. Do you know what the current draw is on your compressor? If it's over 5 amps you need something else. 

I will check fuse size on battery lead but hoping it works.
