You are correct about the Penske, -no remote preload adjuster- but the preload is easy enough to change with the supplied tool if you ride two-up. 

Have a model number for this Penske?  Sounds like it might fit what I am looking for.

I found the hurkey jerkey to be obnoxious until I had Ivans flash done.  Can't recommend it enough.  I was lackadaisically pulling away from a stop sign with only one hand on the throttle and the bike lurched.  I instinctively held on which in turn increased the throttle.  Causing the bike to accelerate even more.  Damn near dropped it.  It was my fault for not being more attentive, but I never had that happen before in my 30 years of riding.

So, I have searched to no avail. Can anyone tell me where the flasher is on a 2020 Tracer GT? I bought the Blaster Tail Light (looks great so far) and Rizoma front LED signals. I also bought the Blaster Flasher. I assume the stock flasher in under the seat. Way easy on my FZ07. 

Would have rather used a TFT Industries flasher but they don't make one for the Tracer. Probably the MT09 version works?

Thanks for any help.

I have an extra tft industries flasher still in the packaging.  Fits 2019 tracer.  I am using an identical one.  Will let it go for cheap if you want it.  Just pay shipping or whatever.  And yes, flasher is under the seat kind of toward the back tucked away.  No pics but its fairly easy to find.

Not that I am offering any help but why would it be normal to have a check engine light come on?  My 2019 California bike (extra smog crap) was flashed by Ivan and I never had a check engine light come on. 

This is my Ninja.  Had a blast on this bike.  

Sadly, she burned up in Tubbs fire 2017.  Miss this bike.  But the Tracer is a nice upgrade.

Mine did not fit.  Looking at yours it seems my kickstand is different?  Or the plate is made wrong.  And the weld on mine is sloppy and massive.  No way the top plate could go on.

I had to tighten mine to the point I though it was going to snap.  Only way I could keep them from spinning at speed.

It's definitely a wtf why is it this way.

Yep, been there done that, that's why I mentioned it earlier.

I figured that is the ONLY thing that could cause that to happen consistently, glad you got it figured out. 👍

Glad you brought it up.  Thanks.  You have been great help on these forums.  🍻

The main thing is you've gotten to the bottom of the mystery.
(and made me laugh, hehehehe)

Haha!  Ya, me too. 

Mystery solved.  

So I adjusted my clutch lever a few days ago for a shorter reach.  Doing that causes the clutch lever to contact the menu button.

Every time I pull into the garage I grab a hand full of clutch.  Resetting the menu.

I know.  But it just comes up after about 5 minutes of riding.  I can clear it by holding the menu button for 2 seconds.  I just don't understand why it is randomly going to the setup menu.  I am not pushing the menu button to bring it up.  It just comes up.  😕

This.  Maintenance word in upper right.

Ever since the ecu flash it starts flashing after about 5 minutes of riding.

Unless these last multiple times I have gone out I have accidentally hit the menu button?  But I never had this issue before the flash, and it has happened the last 4 times I have taken it out.

Am I doing something wrong?

1.  Select Maintenance on menu.

2.  Set section 1, 2 and 3 to zero.

Take a ride.

5 minutes later after taking a ride Maintenance notification is flashing again.  Mileage in all 3 section shows 5 miles.

Its not the check engine light.  It's 'Maintenance' at the top of the menu that is flashing.

What am I missing?

I found, and a few others, that the pipe is a tad restrictive at high rpm's. I drilled a few extra holes in the baffle to fix this problem.

Im running no baffle.

Do you get much back firing on deceleration? 

Zero backfiring.  But I have a ecu tune by Ivan.  Let me say again that this is just plain awesome.

@iitywygms, I find that the top of the centre stand pad can hit the bottom of the silencer. It’s worth a check that you have clearance.

Thanks for the heads up.  I actually trimmed the plastic piece to raise the center stand for more clearance.  Still have 1/4 inch clearance with no chance of hitting the can.

It's back together and what a difference.  The exhaust with the tune makes it a new bike.  Literally.  Jerky throttle gone.  Smoother running.  Just feels way better.

Getting the original exhaust off was pretty easy.  I was able to get it off while leaving center stand on.

Getting the connector pipe lined up took the most time for me.  Getting everything to line up to the mounting bracket on the can and the scorpion supplied bracket was most irritating.  The scorpion bracket is at a angle and it never really sat flush with the bracket on top of the exhaust can no matter what I did.  So finally I worked backwards.  I mounted the can to the bracket.  Then put the connector pipe on the can.  Then jockey the connector pipe around to finally line up with the header.  Seemed backwards but it worked.

True on both counts... although I felt I lost power (felt especially in A mode) with a reflash for the slip-on.

I was not going to ride w/o the baffle, or drill holes in it to fix it... so I sent it back to Dave to revert my ECU to previous flash (for OE exhaust). Bike is back to its peppy self.

Was going to update my last post on this. YMMV.

Who flashed your ecu?

This is the vendor I ordered from but the website says "checkout is closed temporarily"???

Yamaha MT09 Tracer Scorpion Exhaust Serket Taper Slip-on - Titanium

 

I think they may be out of business.  I tried contacting them several times and their fb page has nothing for about a year.

Took two weeks from this vendor.  Shipping was 4 days to cali.  

He flashed for the slipon.  Did not specify baffle in or out.

Got my weekend project.    Ivans ecu flash arrives Saturday too.

Mine does the same thing.  I guess I will worry about it when it breaks.  Keeping my eye on what you find tho.

It has been a few years but I remember that I didn't move it much, on the '15 and '16 you could bring up a diagnostic screen and watch the value numbers change as you slowly turned the sensor.  It didn't take much movement at all, so yes, your assumption sounds very close.

I wonder if I were to wire up an obd reader as described on this forum if you could read the aps numbers using the torque app. 

Something I will try in the future.
