  1. The bottome bolt is nice and easy, there's a hole in the awingarm for access. Top bolt looks like a PITA, I'm assuming I'm missing something? One of the comments said to remove the wheel but it didn't look lile that would help much, i found a video online where the guy dropped the exhaust. I had a buddy come by and see what he thought and he didn't see an easy way to get to the top bolt and be able to get enough torque to remove it. I must be missing something?
  2. Hi guys, I'm going to install 15mm lowering links and lower the front to match. I was wondering if you guys had any advice? I was trying to find a youtube video but didn't have much luck. Just thought I'd ask, i found a few threads on here but not really any tips. TIA 2019 yamaha tracer gt
  3. Could i see your lught set up please? I'm commuting more so extra lights is always good.
  4. Well after having it for a bit longer i like it more. I still haven't riden in the rain and it's pretty rare i do ride in the rain these days but from previousrain riding the trick alwqys to not let the water puddle up in your crotch . It is getring easier to get on and off, the biggest reason i was drawn to it.
  5. Absolutely love it. I would love to have mine with those wheels! I've been wanting to change my color since day two. Lol
  6. With my old "waterproof" pants i would get the wet crotch as well. I found the solution is to pull up the material, basically making it look like you have an awkward boner lol that way the water doesnt pull up there.
  7. I'm not sure how accurate the thermometer on the bike is but it went to 111°, when i got home the it was 107° so it probably wasnt far off. Anyway, it was freaking hot. I was surprised how well the suit did. At freeway speeds it did great , the underarm ventsbare perfect. Since that part isn't protected from the wind, it flows really good from your sides and you can feel it going out the back vent. The trick i found is that you lift your elbows slightly and it gets more air. When stopped it got hot but not terribly.
  8. Sorry i ended up taking the car today but i will take the bike tomorrow. I think it will still be in the triple digits so I'll report back
  9. Being mostly a lurker around here i thought I'd do a short review on my 'stitch, in case the thousands out there weren't enough lol. I was lucky enough to find a brand new used (if that makes sense) one in my size and locally. It's the r3 with no liner. It may be ugly but i gotta say if you're a commuter It's pretty great. I have a weird schedule so i leave at 3am and come home in the afternoon. So basically from cold to hot in the same day sometimes. I rode home it was in the mid 80s Fahrenheit and i didn't open the vents, i might have if i thought about it before i got on lol but it was fine, i didn'tfeel to hot on the freeway. In the cold i definitely want to find some type of windbreaker. As far as the on and off, that's the best part, super easy and fast after a few tries. The quality is everything i read and more. My favorite part is the magnets that hold the collar down away from your neck, i really don't like collars. They're expensive but i will say i see why people pay so much for them. News said Tomorrow will be 104° so I'll see how it does that hot.
  10. I have a 2001 triumph sprint ST in my garage now. Will be selling it now that I have the tracer though. I've had 3 buells, triumph and now the tracer
  11. The madstad looked like an excellent windscreen, lots of adjustability with that one. Sid it work well?
  12. I have nothing relevant to ad . I'm just happy I finally know that it's called blurple lol What a hard color to match lol
  13. You might want to search the forum about the other screens, you're a lot taller than me and I think it might put the wind right in your face. There was an aftermarket one that was a little bigger and more adjustable. Good luck Btw you're going to love the bike I've had mine for about a month and it's great.
