  1. Was informed, at least in my country, locally assemble, they will launch the Tracer 9 first and rumours would be the same price as 2020 Tracer GT. While Tracer 9 GT no news yet. If i read somewhere, they are only selling the Tracer 9GT in USA and Tracer 9 wont be selling, at least in the US.
  2. am guessing we take US as benchmark, will see increase around the globe as compared to 2020 GT, based on MRSP. ZigMerid , in our country, the pannier has been removed/not provided and its locally assemble, not fully imported, guess to keep the price down. here MRSP for 2019/2020 Tracer GT WITHOUT the panniers is going for USD14,362 (at current exchange rate), yes, big bike are expensive to own here.
  3. i did not believe that a Made in Japan Dunlop D222 is bad, i slip a few times during wet corner(here in our tropical climate, if not hot, its rain + pebbles), than given other comment here, plunge to a Michelin Road 5, afterall my tires is still new, was able to sell 30% of Road5 cost and paid 70% which i think was worth it. than try a few times on wet road, the same manner i did with Dunlop and there were no slip. push a bit harder and that too no slip (fyg, am no pro but push corner to the bravest i could). its a very individualized debate which i agreed, but that is based on my experienced. at 60kg weight, that could also be the reason, if am heavier, maybe i wont feel the slip.
  4. What is the price difference in your countries for 2021 Tracer as compare to 2020 Tracer GT, same or higher or lower. over here, rumours has it will launch next month, not sure if with panniers or without panniers and no pricing.
  5. i have got the SW Motech on rear, ordered the front one, yet to arrive. last weekend due to tire puncture, removed the Sw Motech and found the shaft (not sure whats its call) of SW Motech rusted ! Sand it down and applied silicone spray to it. knowing silicone spray wont last long, can anyone advice if could applied a thin layer of grease on it?
  6. am coming from Triumph T100, the initial part yes, in B mode these bike really wants more and more, now have gotten used to it, switching between Standard and B, though have only use A mode couple of times when i need more andrenalin pumping to my heart !
  7. without spending $$$, there are plenty to set up the SAG front and rear which i think u know the basic set up. (i dont initially when i got my bike) some riders here, me included find our private parts/butt seem to slide close to the fuel tank, Top secret R&D by someone in this forum is to put washer/coin on the adjustable seat height bracket to prevent our butt sliding to the front. if its ori dunlop d222 tires, than guess first wallet spending would be on tires (i initially was sceptical and change it after 1,000km riding, and man, wish i would have change it immediately upon receiving my bike), i follow most of it here, Michelin Road 5. wanted Pirelli Scorpion STR but in my country, only rear available, front size not available. Am no expert here, still receiving a lot of input input on this great forum.
  8. Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new bike, the days to come your freetime priority would be Tracer GT, Tracer GT, Tracer GT ! Enjoyed your ride.
  9. Took a long ride before the incoming ban on interstate travel, My new Michelin Road 5 got a puncture, not sure what causes it on the highway, likely a metal piece, To call Tow Truck would need to wait at least an hour or more, luckily was near highway exit and check Dr Google, nearest bike shop is 4.5km away. with only my light weight 68kg, push myself to the front and ride 5-10km/h. after 2km, stop again to let the tires cool down (not sure if it helps but sure nice to have a cigi puff before move on !), inching my way to a workshop only to find they only have plug kit and mine cannot be repair, hence no choice have wife to get a new tires (they dont sell our size tires) and drive to the shop to have it change. taking my puncture tires back to shop sometime this week to see if they have a solution to salvage my tires. Came back and was too tired to do anything else, the next day our local lottery draw, my bike number plate came out 2nd prize, HUH !
  10. my new year ride with my regular riders, Versys 1000, Vstrom 650 and Tracer GT.
  11. having experienced with favourite keychain, on these Tracer, for me, its just a bike key and small ring, to hook on my waist pouch when stopping over.
  12. Welcome to the forum...... our last lockdown here, number 1 entertainment was online shopping, highly addicted and of course credit card used went up the roof.... stay safe.
  13. Thanks for the update Funnelli...... gonna get a used mirror to try (from some web) remove the mirror and insert tire weight/balancer as claim to improve drastically before i plunge into getting a new one.
  14. has the mirror vibration reduce (especially the right side) with these set up. last travel on highway night at 120-140km, cant see a damm thing with the vibration (ok, am also half a century old).
  15. Welcome on board...... Same colour as mine! Enjoyed your new ride....
