bought mine a month ago and there was a few times i felt like you,not that i have had any of the issues you are dealing with but there are few of quirks with this bike,,now that the motor has some miles under her and has loosened up and i am understanding the bike better i enjoy it more each day, Im sure there is nothing wrong with your bike if this happened right after the dealer ,,most likely something just needs to re boot .My mt07 abs lite kept flashing after i put a new tire on it,,i would shut it down and restart and it was fine for a while but every now and then it would flash ,the age of computers and bikes. Not trying to kick a man when hes down but i wont take my bike to a dealer ,,not to say they are all bad ,,i would rather do the work myself,,but at this juncture you dont have much of a choice .Go get your bike back, find a new dealer ,,mean time keep riding it ,,you wont regret it Best

HAHA,,, BIG OL SMILE

yeah i had to read manual also ,,i was like ;;;what the hells wrong with this thing,,it would be SOOOOO nice if you could change on the fly.,,I guess im so used to my fz07 ,,clutch up at 20mph and front leaps up,,whats 6-7 k in 2nd on a 900? 50-60 mph ? ,I will give it a go and LUK ,,thanks for the tip. With the GF onboard it'll do the same in 3rd,,,.I bet she loves that hahah

cleans up the hunting/surging it tends to do when moving about at idle or partial throttle, and increases it's go on sudden throttle roll on from the same. PERFECTLY DESCRIBED !! ,,exactly what my bike does,, ,,all good stuff here ,glad its working out for you,,its always nice when you do a mod and it meets or exceeds expectations ,,believe it or not after 1500 miles im still getting used to bike and all its pros and cons ,,I want to make sure i appreciate the pros while understanding and eliminating the cons ,Thanks so much for the great info ,very helpful

well it dont take much to get your panties in a bunch,,,not sure how you can accuse me of calling you a liar other than a vivid imagination. I guess I could call you a liar for saying my tracer has a manufacture plate . Do you see how ridiculous this is .Next time you decide to share your knowledge [or lack of} you should get the facts straight ,, like hey maybe they dont put that plate on bikes after a certain year or origin . And i never insisted you are wrong,,your little bike has a plate ,,GREAT !!! im saying mine doesnt ,,would it make everything better for you if i didnt call my bike a tracer ,,go change your underwear .and spare me your response,,lifes too short to deal with the likes of you

yeah thats what I do,,troll so i can engage in a ridiculous argument. My bike is called a Tracer ,,as far i I can tell your bike appears to be an FJ-09,,chill out dude

no such plate on the Tracer ,,

I agree,,I did it to mess with kilo3 ,,he seems to like them

BINGO !!

the tracer has two notches top and bottom and the block also has notches top and bottom ,,I could see how it would be hard getting low enough to see and line them up,,i transferred the notch so its on top of frame just in front of the block by making a small scratch line with a utility knife

dont let yourself get caught up in the P C nonsense ,,no need to apologize especially to someone you dont know IMO

WTFYTB

Brand new ,,1500 miles ,, vibration is mostly from the foot pegs and up to gas tank i dont have a clue what this means,, ,"" but likely throttle body may be and the position sensor calibrated lower"" but my first thought when i felt it was like the air box was open with no filter and all that air intake was causing it to kinda shutter ,,it goes away as soon as desired speed is reached,, suppose i could take back to dealer but im guessing thats a waste of time

i failed to mention vibration is only on hard acceleration,,it backs off when desired speed is reached ,,there is no vibration when cruising at ,10 mph to110,,mph,,and no vib on slow roll of throttle ,,only on WOT or hard on the gas Im happy for you that your bike doesnt have any of this shit and will wheelie no problem , how can the same bike be so different ? I really want to like this bike but its just not putting a smile on my face and what the hell is this ? TLDR

Thanks all for chain info,,looks like by pulling downward i am running tight . My fz07 manual said to pull down on chain,,im guessing because it was measured with side stand down Thanks again all

Thanks for the info,,yes Nels is only a couple miles from my house,,he did my fz07,,,thanks again

WTF !!!,,why wont my bike wheel up,,im not looking to do a stand up wheelie ,,{that would freak me out } i just want to lift front end up a foot or so and ride it out like you said. 1st gear no prob ,,{dont care for those } but thats it , so you have a 2020,,before tune was it sluggish till around 7k RPM ? and on another subject do you have a vibration when going hard through the gears ,mine kicks in at 5 k and the whole bike vibrates or shutters ,,foot pegs,grips and gas tank,,it almost takes the fun out of twisting the throttle

What does this refer to ? " On my ‘15 plate "

do you mind me asking your weight ?,, 5' 7" and 32" inseam ,,wow,, Im 5 '10" 31 inseam, seat in lower position and still feel WAY to tall off the ground . I am 165lbs and for me the stock seat has no give,,feels like im sitting on a piece of plywood. sometimes i wonder if yamaha even R&D their bikes with all the goovey things they do,, now they can add the seat to the list ,,first thing i noticed when i sat on it was the seat pitching me forward and zero compression . after an hour on some twisty roads and my groin is screaming

I see so your 2019 bike will wheelie easily ,{which you dont do } but for some reason my 2020 wont .forget the wheelie if it upsets you ,,im trying to figure out why it wont,,

No it was off but on or off the bike still has a flat spot,,or sluggish,,imo there should be no hesitation at 5-6 K rpm,,thats like right in the sweet spot

well just got back and honestly it doesnt make a diff on or off,,and in a way im glad because unless i get into the habit of turning it off every time i ride Im sure as hell not gonna pull over when i feel like randomly lofting the front end..OK my theory is it needs to be re flashed ,,,so humming along 2nd gear around 5-6 k rpms right in the sweet spot and hammer throttle ,,there is a slight bog,,flat spot,,like your in b mode.,no way is it gonna lift,,so same thing this time pull in clutch,,rev up to 8-9 grand and pop clutch ,,it feels at first like its gonna come up but then as the rpms drop it bogs just enough to say ,,sorry no wheelie for you .Now i know newer bikes have longer frames but there is a definite flat spot that i think is holding it back

uuhhmmmm,,so how do you check wheel alignment with string or straightedge ,,im a contractor and trying to figure that one out ,,please explain thanks

yes and no,,i mean did before 1000 mile break in ,,didnt seem to make a dif on or off ,I kinda forgot about that mode ,,,Im not used to bikes with modes ,,,now with 1600 miles on bike i will try with tcs off,,the prob is i dont set off for a ride thinking today is a wheelie day,,set by default and cant change on the fly its kind of a hassell.Im still geared up from earlier ride,,gonna try right now ,will LYK

how frustrating ,,,,,,However, the back end of the seat is unusable. ,,,sounds like the stock POS ,,,how much do you weigh ?,,im 165 and it feels like im sitting on plywood
