@PhotoAI I've noted no oddness (at least no more than usual) in throttle response or fueling the two times I've filled up from empty with 87 octane. I'm at 42.1 mpg over the last 2000 miles and on 75 mph speed limit interstates and minimal city / stop and go riding. Coincidentally, my last bike was a F800ST and although I averaged 45mpg, I now get waaay more smiles per gallon. 🤠

@DavidSAgreed that it sounds very much like a switch issue. I would favor less likely fuse or relay due to the left side is working great and that holding (with likely more finger force than a click) can make the right side work. A reasonable first step could be to blast some contact cleaner in there behind the black plastic thumb piece alongside the metal stalk into the switch itself. Then work the switch back and forth through the range of motion, and see if that makes things better or worse. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the warm welcome! @betoneyThanks for the tip, Evotech looks like $70 for a nice aluminum hex guard, I had a "grounder" baseball sized chunk of road get kicked up in front of me last week and it bounced up and pwinged off my thigh. Yow! The bare radiator would have been toast! 🙏 @texscottyd @rustyshackles I'm way up here off lake Texoma, thanks for the CalSci recommendation, I'll check those out!

Thanks for the welcome! Yup, I experimented with cutting a piece of aluminum (a broken clipboard) into a little fly screen but it looks kinda janky, needs some refining. I knew from the first time on the bike the stock screen had to go, and I havent missed it!

Howdy! Its been a month since I picked up my '19 Tracer GT down in Houston from a Yamaha dealer, and its been a rowdy blast so far! I had been lusting after a MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso ever since a test ride a year ago, and when the used GT's started to come onto the market at a substantial savings I thought hmmmm maybe a Tracer would be a good fit, and it sure is! I commute, tinker, and explore with the same bike year round, so right now the girly has the windscreen off due to 100F and humid as heck, and Im getting to know the bike and bringing the maintenance up to par from the PO. Ill get some pics snapped soon, Cheers!
