Dear all fellow riders after so much brain storming on which directions to take, either invest money on the tracer to make it better or invest the money on a much better bike, I decided to sell the beloved Tracer to pull the trigger on a Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak. Completely different category of a bike, also huge different value. I haven’t ridden bunch yet, only rode it home yesterday in the Nashville heat around lunch time. First impression, rides smooth, comfortable, engine is sublime, no vibrations, tons of customization available to the user. Unfortunately I’m leaving the country for a couple of weeks and can’t enjoy the new bike until I’m back. I do have a lot of parts for sale since I traded in the bike and the dealership only valued it as stock. I’ll post the parts once I’m back if anybody is looking for anything that might fit their needs. Here a few things just in case: Givi Crash Bars, Givi Splash Guard, Puig Sport and Touring Screens, SW Motech Aero bags with mounting brackets, Sargent performance seat. Well, I wanted to thank everyone on this forum, a lot of help, tons of info gathered, shared great experiences.

Sw Motech provides crash guards brackets as mounting solutions, or amazon can have cheaper options. Last time I've ordered my Aero side cases, it took just little over a week to be delivered even if they were listed as backordered by 3-4 weeks from Germany. You Might be lucky just like I was 😅

I did read the owner's manual, I always do before posting anything online, It's common sense to read it. 😅 However, the manual I found online is a bit different (I'm now wondering if the hard copy is like yours) It says, turn the key on and set the stop switch to run I always let the pump prime, and never start the engine before it's finished But what it doesn't make any sense is that, if I turn the key on, and wait a bit to set the stop switch to run, it does not prime. And this is where it's having a rough start. It seems odd that it doesn't prime whenever we set the switch to run. But only if it's already set prior to turn the key on. And/or within that amount of time after turning the key on (which still not the correct way of doing it, it has to be set to run before turning the key) I obviously try to get used to it, but sometimes I just forget. Thanks anyway.

Hello everyone '19 Tracer 900 here. I have a doubt on the fuel pump not priming (see below), I took a look to the owner's manual but couldn't find anything on this matter bc to turn on the bike says to turn the key on, set kill switch to run and then start (nothing wrong here) This is what doesn't add up I turn the key on and if the kill switch is set to stop and I wait like a few seconds (lets say the amount of time that the pump usually takes to prime) before turning the kill switch to run, the fuel pump will not prime! So I don't hear the sound at all. But, the fuel pump is only priming if the kill switch is already set to run prior to turn the key on it seems odd that the pump will only prime within that amount of time, and it seems like it's having a rough start. On my other bike, if I turn the key on, and wait even a few minutes, when I turn the kill switch to run, it will prime the pump no matter what. Do all the Tracers behave like this? or is it just mine? Thanks in advance

The kit comes with interchangeable lenses, you can either do both spot or flood. I chose whatever they call hybrid with mixed lenses. And yes it really looks much better, it gave me much more confidence in both night and day riding. Maybe would have been better the D2 instead of DM. But I'm still happy with these.

Hey I was able to take some pics of the Denali DM at night consider that I’m running the single intensity relay (full intensity) with just the on/off switch atm I set one with the spot lens and the other with the flood as you can see it really lights up the sides of the road with the flood and down the road with the spot Aux light nighttime Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Electronically speaking, brown / white / red are positive, black/ blue /green are ground/negative Then there are mixed colors (or numbered wires) to be distinguished Also buy a service book, that will help you a lot with the wiring diagrams, other stuff as well

I would suggest you get a multimeter, it’s inexpensive and will definitely help you a lot in many situations In this case you would have had already found the live wire However, most of the time brown would be the positive, so it must be it

Ok on the Tracer I tapped on the tail light which is the connector with 2 cables black is ground as you can see, and tapped the white/red I have a different connection bc I have a aftermarket plate mount now where the OEM cable was brown to blue on the tail light so this is a live wire when turning the key on

Outside the forks wouldn’t be possible since the lights were hitting the fairing, maybe lowering the mounts it would have been possible, but it that case I needed the extension cables there is a fender mount option, but depends on the bike you might need the extension cables. with the single intensity relay I had to tap only in one cable (i.e. tag light). There are different ways of setting them up based on what you’re looking for. I’m buying another switch bc I want the aux lights to be controlled independently without tapping in the stock lights and control them with the stock light controls
