com3, did you ever figure this out? Mine has a similar issue, I believe, at 14k miles. About to check the plugs, sync TBs, check O2 sensor, and all lines.

2WDW Shelter In Place Sale
Patch Kit replied to 2wheeldynoworks's topic in ECU Flashing by 2WheelDynoworks
If anyone's still on the fence about this, it's time to hop down and get this done. I use my 2015 FJ for commuting in Seattle (so high-end performance is irrelevant to me), with occasional weekend rides. I just stopped in their shop and had them flash my ecu, and it worked wonders. The low speed/low rpm jerkiness is gone. The hesitation at 2,500 rpm in first and second gear is gone. The effect is immediate. If you notice current jerkiness when riding in the city, you will notice immediately the difference. "But, is it really worth it?? Do I really need to do this?" Yes. It is. You do. -
My wife is struggling to find riding pants that fit well. She doesn't ride on her own, but as my passenger on long day trips and overnights. Any ladies on here have advice? Or, any guys with ladies who went through a similar struggle already? All the pants we've tried so far seem to have been designed by men (not surprising) and have no accommodation for hips!

It’s really a holdover from dirt bikes. No real function on a road bike. Just “weird” style. Which I totally support. -
What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?

I installed my new Yamaha 39L top case today. When I say "installed", I mean I flipped a lever up, dropped it on, and flipped the lever down... Unfortunately, the re-keyable lock kit is out of stock with Yamaha right now, and no one has it in stock. I guess the case will sit on the shelf for a few weeks! -
My ‘15 FJ is named Cheri. “Cherry Cheri”. My CB500X was Freddie. My XT250 was Pacman (pacman decals all over it) I never did name my two ‘79 KZ650SR’s. Not sure why.

Today, I installed a BackOff brake light modulator, and some small additional red LED lights on the brake circuit. I also installed some axle sliders, just in case. R&G engine guards sometime in the future... -

I installed a rear rack designed for the 2019 Tracer on my 2015 FJ. In case anyone was wondering, it works! Only minor modification to the plastics as shown below. First pic shows the difference between the shape of the 2015 FJ passenger hold and the rear rack for the 2019 Tracer. This is the mount that is under the passenger seat. The second pic shows the cutout of the side plastic that needs to be made to accommodate the rear rack. The plastic is soft enough to cut with a sharp razor. Looks good! -

Other things that don’t make sense, but are true: parking in driveways, driving in parkways. Cars and trucks transport shipments. Ships transport cargo. “Fat chance” and “slim chance” mean the same thing. “Hot as hell” vs “cold as hell”. Hell seems confused. Rubber duckies are yellow. Who’s seen a yellow duck? -

Can we get a vinyl wrap in that, please? -

Auto oilers? Anyone use them?

I have a Tutoro that was on my CB500X for 20,000+ miles. Worked great. I haven't mounted it on my FJ yet. -
