All good, 2and3. I don’t take offense at much. well, keyboard warriors. I take offense at those idiots. -S

All good guys, all good. Glad your bike started after charging 2and3, and good advice too there Daz. the crickets on here from anyone running WP is exactly what I expected. Might ping the Facebook groups too. -Skip

Hi @Backbone , thanks for chiming back in and for the update. I wouldn’t sweat the marks pictured on the plate - probably normal. unless you can feel those circle patterns from the rubbers (oh god where is this going lol) indicated in your picture with a fingernail? Or are they more “polished” in nature? Oil pump pickup and filter will take care of cleaning out any debris no worries there. -S

Thanks, I did see that @dazzler24 but the shock option isn’t recommended by the website. But it is recommended according to an internal document from a couple years ago. front = Apex pro 6500 cartridges rear = Apex pro 6746 shock -S

@Backbone , did this diminish the noise you heard (engine idling, clutch lever pulled in vs out)? Nice work! Some noise from the clutch is normal of course but certain noises are not. All depends on what each of us hear/describe. Yamaha created and installed a sound dampener on later Tracer 900 models which you can purchase and fit to any earlier model. I installed one on my 2015. Coincidentally I’ve got mine removed from the bike right now, just waiting for a free moment to drill and repair. -Skip

I recently became aware that WP offers product that fits our bikes and had never heard of anyone using it, hence my question. Over the years since the FJ/FZ came out is seems most of us here tend to go with Ohlins, KTech, Penske, Racetech, Andreanni, Nitron etc. Because these are available from suppliers and generally written-up and recommended here probably. Having an inner debate on whether to try them out as I may be able to get a good price. Curious that the shock doesn’t appear when you select our bikes from the drop-downs on the WP website…. Huh. -Skip

Yep, along with GasGas and Husqvarna. Husq typically gets the more premium lines of the WP product depending on the price point of the bike. -Skip

Those are the ones. Cheers for the posting the link here. -Skip

glad to hear that, David. I’d recommend that anyone should be willing to adjust suspension settings - just write down where they are, so you have a reference point to return to if you make changes you don’t like. -Skip

True Piotrek, that is a good idea. I figured it might draw everyone in to read and comment on it? But I guess people might get turned off by “Poll” in the title lol. Oh well too late now. Cheers skip

The ECM switches internally to signal the LED control unit to fire the high beam. Usually that driver circuit blows in the ECM requiring it to be replaced. That is how FJ/MTT/XSR LEDs work. I would assume (always dangerous) the new 9 GT and + are similar, but I’ll have a look at the wiring diagram -Skip

Hey all, please chime in with any info: Have ANY of you 900 Tracer/GT/FJ/MT folks upgraded your suspension with WP parts; shock or fork internals? Or know of anyone? TIA, Skip

It’s been a few years, but they were fine. Looking for a 750 instead of a 700 would be advised, and the newest you can afford. -S

Never seen an issue with any DCT. just on the atvs and that was the early systems and often owner caused problems. I rode a 24 GL yesterday, I think Honda has made some “hidden” changes as it felt even smoother still. It also anticipated downshifting when coming to a stop, quite satisfying. -S

Yes
