Looking into Tracer 900 GT as Sport Touring Bike
TTR Ignition replied to MrFritz86's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Interesting is one word for it ... Yeah - I'm everywhere! 😀 -
Looking into Tracer 900 GT as Sport Touring Bike
TTR Ignition replied to MrFritz86's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
I still remember the nifty sound my RZ350 made as it spat the left-outboard YPVS segment out the side; the PO had installed them *upside-down*, and riding it around was pounding the halves apart. Fortunately, the left side has the drive cable, so it was sitting there dangling as I pulled off to the side of the road ... -
What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?
TTR Ignition replied to yamaham's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
If it's going to be a track bike, may I suggest a Quick Shifter kit? (Unless it already has one - I keep losing track of which models do and don't come with one!) -
Try dropping the front pressure back down to 33psi.

I like the idea of the lights all turning red when you hit the brakes! -

Recommended Accessories? New Owner.

I sell the things, and even I have to concede that for street use they're a toy - but what a wonderful toy! 🤩 I can't beat Partzilla's US$135 price, but I can match it, and I can sure beat their 22-27 days lead time! Order today, it ships out tomorrow! -
10mm is a big first step. It will improve turn-in, but it also reduces steering stability. As with any suspension adjustment, make small changes, test, and take lots of notes!

You likely had air trapped in the system that quickly worked its way out. Standard practice for a lot of old riders was to leave the rad cap off while starting the bike after the coolant change, topping up as the air bubbles burped and belched out the filler neck.

Installing components offered on the GT onto the non-GT?

He mentioned finding a "new" non-GT. -

The quickshifter is indeed bolt-on and plug'n'play; US$150 plus $15 for the postman, in stock. -
McCruise / Blipper QS Interaction
TTR Ignition replied to 2and3cylinders's topic in FJ-09 Known issues and solutions
*scratching head* I can sell a quick shifter (up only) that won't interfere with the CC, but I can't help you with the auto-blipper. -
New updated Yamahas

You plan your tour from gas station to gas station ... -
Canyon carving with a passenger wears down the rear tire quite quickly! 🤪

This was a common occurrence with the old FZR line, when someone would forget / neglect to bend the lock washer to hold the sprocket nut in position. It occasionally happened that the nut would go missing altogether, with the sprocket basiclally being held on by the chain!

2017 FJ09 Quickshifter
TTR Ignition replied to seyhangul's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
You're quite correct on all points. The '14-16 models don't have the QS function in the ECU, so you need an add-on controller or a flash. I can provide QS sensor & rod plus a plug-in controller for US$225. Auto-blip is *much* more complicated and requires more involved programming, so it demands much more money. -
I always just tucked the little folder with license, registration, and insurance in my inside jacket pocket.

Hi, Maximo. The QS and controller have nothing to do with the flash or APS, so no - it makes no difference if the ECU is flashed or APS adjusted. I don't know how the cruise control bolts up, but the QS controller plugs in via the sidestand switch and rear brake switch. And yes, the OTD is US$250 + $15 shipping to anywhere in the Continental US.
-
If you decide you want a quick shifter after all, I can offer a bolt-on plug'n'play shifter kit (2017+), US$150 + $15 for the postman. The '15-16 models need to add a controller, +$100 for a plug'n'play unit.

When did we get so damn BORING?
TTR Ignition replied to Cruizin's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
US$250 for a plug'n'play shifter kit and controller. Not hugely expensive, but I understand that priorities are priorities! -
Startup button, failing?
TTR Ignition replied to alquimista's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
+1 on cleaning the switch. Strip it very carefully, there are one or more teeny little balls and springs to give you that 'click' feeling. You could have anything from missing contacts to 6lb of caterpillar cocoons. -
Electrical power: how much is available?
TTR Ignition replied to DGuy's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Unless it's not. Yamaha used dry stators for the longest time (FZRs and YZFs at the very least). The early VRRs were weak by design (ground through the casing, no ground wire), but a failed stator was far more uncommon. -

TTR Ignition replied to DGuy's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Opening a charged coil in close proximity to two other coils can do bad things to those other coils, as well as to other components connected to them. cf 'ignition coil' -
Electrical power: how much is available?
TTR Ignition replied to DGuy's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Only if it's connected to a higher-voltage source. A transistor (or mosfet) connected to 14v (other than at the base) cannot have an output higher than 14v. I think the 'charging system' data is poorly written, and refers to the nominal DC output, not the AC output. -

TTR Ignition replied to DGuy's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Not to be rude, but I think you misread the manual (or the manual has a typo). I seriously doubt that the stator output is 14Vac; bike alternators are traditionally in the 30-60Vac range. Not to mention, the RegRec is NOT going to output a HIGHER voltage than the stator! 😉
