To remove the mirrors you have to remove them from the bigger outer bolt you remove the whole assembly

Putting together the Tracer 900 I recently bought tired of waiting the quadlock vibration dampener and tired of holding me back using the phone case with the mount made my own version of dampener, not as fancy as the one they’re developing, but I hope it will be functional at the very least used some zip ties as safety, just in case the isolators would come apart not tested yet, but it’s worth a try Quadlock vibration dampener Post with 1 views.

That's an interesting story 😰 Hey, nice to see you on both this and the CB650 forum.

I really I hope I don’t have to deal with anything else Today I put 150 miles after I fixed that issue, checked it was still tight, and luckily was fine Anyway, that mess is really bad, why would you do something like that 😳 Mine turned out great Ahahahahah, next time let me know 🤣

First issue found 😒Yesterday I was walking around the bike to check for anything that I could have missed the first dayNoticed the lower engine bolt, that holds the center stand, below the brake peg, that was not screwed all the way inThe bolt was removed when he installed the engine crash barTried to torqued it down and without even applying much force, it slipped and realized it was f****dRemoved it and found some epoxy or JBChecked everything and thread was goneLuckily there was plenty of wall thickness and bought a Helicoil kit, drilled, tapped it, and used the coil with some red loctite, was able to torque it down as required.got in touch with the guy and he played dumb saying that he wasn’t aware how big the issue wasAnd he admitted to have it stripped Had to pay almost $100 for everything, he said he’s gonna send me those money back tomorrow I really hope that everything else is ok, already check all the other engine bolts and torqued them down to the required values, they were goodThis is why I don’t like used stuffIn somehow people will screw you, no matter how nice you’re with them 🤬

Hello I’m in Nashville as well, new owner let me know if you guys are still in the area

Actually the radiator guard is already there, completely forgot to mention it, so huge ++++ at the moment I don’t need anything else, suspension and shock felt pretty good, I’m fairly light weight I think it’s a very good deal

Hello everyone I recently started a thread looking for a Tracer and many of you helped me a lot, so thank you I decided to go with a barely used ‘19 Tracer, you can find the details in the thread above Super happy and can't wait to share my experiences Tracer 900 Post with 1 views. Tracer 900 Anybody in Nashville area?

quoting my own message, tomorrow I'll get the used tracer delivered at my door I think it's a great deal with the added mods, forgot to add 2 Puig windscreen, 1 sport and 1 touring Only in mods I'm already saving at least $600, not that I was gonna do all of them, but most. I'm set on this one bc, the only new stock that I found was in NC, and atm flying is not an option, then I had to ride back in Nashville, TN. and it was gonna cost me around $9600. I've everything that I need to start, Lee Parks throttle lock, Koso heated grips, Denali aux lights, sw Motech tank bag and rear bag. Give you guys an update over the weekend. Thank you all for your help.

So tomorrow will be the day where I’ll be making a decision got different options to choose a used 2 month old ‘19 Tracer 900, 1800miles, with some mods (crash bars, integrated tail light, Tail tidy, led turn signals with daylight running lights) delivered at my door for $9000 there are some GTs in the nation, around $11.500 (all fees and reg included), but that would mean for me to fly in and ride back (10hrs at least), so add another couple of hundred bucks then there is a ‘17 with 10.000 miles at $7.900, Corbin seat, H&B panniers, and upgraded springs and rear shock HyperPro, but the spring rate is set for 240lbs and I’m only 185 with full gear I'm not very good at suspensions set up, how bad would that be to ride on it?

Good to know there is a aftermarket electronic cruise control, thanks. I might need just to buy the side bags, I pretty much already have everything that I need to start. I'm gonna call the dealer to check if it's still available, $7,500 is really a good deal.

for sure is subjective, but considering that the GT is "just" an upgrade of the standard, definitely is a ton of a motorcycle to start with. I do like the platform, and this why I'm considering even the standard, going with a discounted new model, and make it my own with the money that I saved. I'm willing to put some aftermarkets options and maybe spend some money on better suspensions and shock if I feel the need. Luckily I already have Koso heated grips, Denali DM aux lights, SW Motech Micro Tank bag and Rear Tail bag, also have the Lee Parks Design cruise control (not as good as Atlas, but good enough to start). The TFT is a nice upgrade, but I'm ok with the old style gauges. Thanks btw Keep you guys posted

Didn’t really see any particular scrapes, but he could have had them fixed....who knows and yes, the front is really too far out, better safe than sorry at this point

Now I have another question Is the Tracer 900 worth it? is it upgradable just like the GT? (quick shifter, springs) I do not really mind about the different display, and I could eventually add aftermarket heated grips, atlas throttle lock, aftermarket panniers, top case and tank bag. there is a 2019 listed for $7.499 at a dealer in Alabama, and is 2.5 hours away from my house.

that's what drove me bonkers, why keeping it from me if it really was just a drop when stationary?? I offered him 9.5, ha said 10.5, and then I told 10 bc I wanted to stay below 11k with taxes and fees, he said yes. not really a big fight but why not offer something back when I noticed all of those things........ Yeah it was driving me nuts, I wasn't sure if the road was bent or my brain was totally f***ed ahahahahahah

The odd thing is that he did not even bother to lower the price or to offer a complete check up at the dealer. Either, really is not a big damage, or he realized that he f***ed up trying to play with me. I really hoped for it, but the way he did it, not saying it up front, made me look at my wallet and say, do not take the risks of buying something that you are not sure of.

He has just admitted to have it dropped to the side when stationary but I don’t trust him anymore at this point we could take it to the dealer for a complete check-up, he has to pay for it of course

That’s what I was afraid of, but I didn’t feel anything odd when riding it, considering that I never ridden this bike before, so maybe I just didn’t spot it I think that the bike has been dropped though the crankcase cover is a bit scratched and the rear brake pedal is bent

look at this image where I made some guides to show the front being offset It's not only the dash, the whole front It's the first thing that caught my eyes when I jumped on the bike Imgur Post with 0 views.

Did the test ride and I liked ti so far. I took it on a bumpy highway and the suspensions were very good imo. I can already tell with the standard setting the rear shock is soft btw. The air buffeting was in check with the Puig windscreen, at least was clean air without head shaking!! Vibrations are there but not buzzy at all, so definitely impressed. Cruising vibrations free. The engine was ready all the time, the throttle response was buttery smooth, not snatchy as a lot of people stated (I even asked if they did remap the ECU), it was in STD mode tho. One thing that bumps me, is the dash being a little off to the right, what do you guys think? here some pics, see the dash offset tracer Post with 0 views. tracer

I’ll definitely spend some time to set the suspension I’ve already checked the standard setup, I’m assuming it’s based on average weight like mine, I’m going first with that to have a good start point then make some adjustments if I feel the need. thank you for the advise btw

The guy accepted 10k, super deal!!! Tomorrow I’ll go test ride it

Thanks for sharing At this point, my first mods would be the seat and windscreen if I feel the need. Took a quick look at this Terry guy, and he's making very good seats at very good prices. I hope to test ride the bike on Thursday, can't wait!!! Cheers!!!!

Thank you with the detailed answers I hope that I'll love it when test riding it. The guy in my area just replied to me saying that he's willing to negotiate and let me test ride it. Lets see where everything goes.

Thanks a lot for the comparison (that I was really looking for) in between the 2. I totally agree with you, specs wise already tell the differences, 93hp vs 115hp. It might not be that much, but it will be more obvious when riding, especially when adding weight to the bike. What I'm looking for is a bike far from buzzy, and it's a great starting point. I will eventually tune it if needed. (also heard about the snatchy throttle, being a bit better on 2019 and up model, but still a bit annoying) I like your summaries 🤣
