  1. This is a weird way to mount a oxygen sensor. The wires are pretty exposed, don't you think?
  2. No! No sarcasm. I ride to the work almost every day, 30 miles per day.
  3. whaaat? You wait up to 1000 miles until you lube your chain? I do it every 200 miles 😆
  4. Mine is 7-8 km/h over than satelite speed so 4-5 km/h more than a car would indicate
  5. I would like to know how it compares to the Tracer 900. Is it as nimble and sporty as the Tracer? How does the weight feels compared to the Tracer 900? How is the wind protection (legs, body, hands and head)?
  6. The Yamaha touring screen wobbles like hell but the bike feels very stable. Never felt nervous on this bike in such situations.
  7. The cheapest new Tracer 900 GT (2019) cost 13600 USD in Sweden. Never thought that the prices drops that much, especially for an almost new bike... Well....the positive thing is that I might keep it
  8. Super nice! Very well protected! Do you have a picture of the left side?
  9. Thank you guys! The thing is that my Tracer is not sold. It seems that 10000usd (90000 sek in Sweden) is a not so atractive price. New cost me (with all the extras) 14500 usd and I start riding it in april 2019 so it has only 4500 km on the dash. Yesterday I droped the price to 9000usd (80000 swedish crowns) but this is as low I can go so there is a chace to keep both motorcycles 😁
  10. This is it guys! I decided to stay with Yamaha. Don't trust the british reliability so the Triumph was no longer on my list. So now I'm the proud owner of a almost new FJR 1300 (AE). The AE in Europe is the top spec. bike with manual gear box. It has the coplete luggage pack and Akrapovic exhaust.
  11. Yes! It is due to my height...an my legs Also, the seat is wider and confortable at the back. The straps that holds the bag innplace are elastic so it is easy to remove it butbyou have to take the rear seat down.
  12. Sure! As you can see the bolt i'm holding in my hand is one piece and it is broken at the top. The top is M6 and the bottom is M10. The M6 part was grinded than I drilled a 5mm hole in the lower part of the bolt (the M10 one) and used a M6 tap to create thread into the hole. Now I can use whatever screw I want (M6) to keep things together. The head of the screw will press down the bits as the nut did before. It is not difficult to do it, the alloy of the bolt is fairly soft.
