Congratulations on your new T700….it does have a great engine.  I’ve owned mine over a year and have 11,000 miles on it.

 

I like the T7 and I see that cruise could be added,at 11,000 miles what is your honest opinion on long distance travel ?

Nice bike congrats I have started to look for a more adventure type bike,to bad the T7 does not have cruise control.Maybe KTM or Triumph.

I had a rock hit my oil pan and Crack it but was close enough to ride home with not too much oil loss,hence most get a skid plate.Other than that no problems on my 2015 ever.

I ride with a tool bag that has wrenches screw drivers,Allen keys,tire plugs...and first aid kit.Usually my riding buddies use them,because they don't carry any at all lol.

I usually spend all kinds of money to get the bike just how I want it, then get bored when I'm done and sell it.Just to start all over again lol.Im looking at the 890 adventure right now,my next bike I would like to have cruise control. 

Nonoise from twisted throttle 

Welcome    

Great bunch of people and info here 👍

This, a million times. These silly-ass beaks are just embarrassing.  Marketed by those who want you to believe the Tracer is somehow a mini-GS bike, and you can ride off-road, too, after installing a beak.  🙄    Please.

To each their own, what-ev's,  just know these goofy things look ridiculous on your road machine.

At least 2021 owners won't be doing this clown addition due to their headlight location.

 

To me my bike looks goofy without a beak and I'm under no impression it's a adv bike.No need for such a dumb a##  comment. 

In summer either Dainese perforated leather or Revit airwaves depending how hot it is.I also have armored undergarment if I want to ride in jeans.

When I removed my oil pan I  didn't have to remove the centre stand.2015 FJ-09,I did have to drop my aftermarket exhaust.

Yes whatever he said.🤫

That is up only isn't it?

 Without the blipper module for down too?

 With a McCruise you can't use a quick shifter at all :-(

Yes only up shifts.

Installed Healtech Quick Shifter easy today,this has been one of the easiest install ever.With the app that has Bluetooth connectivity,setup is so simple.

Does the heli riser work with stock cables for the 2015 FJ-09.I know on their website it says that will but has anyone used them without any mods on their bike.

Thanks

The roads around the Hunsruck are amazing. Love them and they are so little known. I have ridden loads in the triangle between Pforzheim, Luxemburg and Cologne. Amazing hairpins, stunning scenery and sticky black roads.

Wow I was born in Phorzheim lived in Stein for 12 years and then moved to Canada in 1969.

Yes been riding like that for a while,I always preload my gearshift.Makes for nice positive gear selection.

Bump.

Do the SW-Motech crash bars interfere with bodywork removal at all? I've about had it with the terrible Hepco-Becker bars on my FJ-09 and the SW-Motech bars are under consideration. 

No interference at all.

Welcome there are a great bunch of people on here with some good knowledge on the Tracer.I bought a FJ-09 in the summer and this forum had all the answers I was looking for.

I think if you keep letting it rust you might start scoring your fork tubes.

Listening to compare can videos on YouTube is sometimes interesting but not the end-all and be all of being up close and personal

Installed the DB insert today and I am keeping this exhaust,it made a huge difference.

Didn't listen too any sound clips,Hindle is 20 minutes away from me so I thought I would give them a try.The system is not too expensive so no big deal to me,I need to install my ais block offs and get a tune next.

Nice

Loud even with a DJ killer (if available)?!

Cost, from where?

Yes its loud I ordered a DB insert for $50 Canadian.Nice work the system looks good,I paid $1.100 Canadian and its available in US from Woodcraft.If I feel its still to loud with DB insert I will just get rid of it and install stock system. 

Installed my Hinson exhaust,very easy and took only about 1 1/2 hours.And I got to keep my center stand.

Just got the FJ back from my suspension guy and the improvement is dramatic.More stable in corners and large and small bone jarring bumps are a thing of the past,its just a joy to ride now and money well spent.I have the K-Tech 20mm IDS cartridge kit and the Razor-R shock. Next will be my Hindle exhaust install.

I had glove liners and was never really comfortable with them on,they felt loose in a bigger glove and they wouldn't fit in my regular gloves(I like my gloves tight) So I bought a pair of Heated Venture gloves to go along with my Venture heated jacket,I could never leave that jacket on high as it got to warm.
