Hi, sorry for the late reply but I've sold the Tracer and not following the forum closely. I haven't got any better pics of the handguards but it was just a matter of fabricating the appropriate brackets (in lenght and bents) and trimming a bit the edge of the RH handuard with a dremel as it was hiting the brake fluid reservoir. I did make 3d print brackets for better looks but they broke after some miles (maybe vibrations) so I stuck with the metal ones until I sold the bike.

Oh, man! That's a seriously big number, I thought I had problems finding US13-14. Maybe contacting the manufacturers directly and ask for a special order? Where are you located?

Nice! Did the shock come correctly preloaded or you had to adjust it manually? I see you removed the tank too, you found it difficult to install it without removing it? I have my suspension parts still in the box, I'm debating whether do it myself (shock only, forks will go to the shop either way) or have the local shop do the whole work for me.

If you can scan it, post it here and I'll try to fix it!

For my 2015 MT09 Tracer, I found that stock rear shock (the recalled unit) is OK for my weight (110kg) regarding spring rate. It's the front that seems undersprung. Personally I have set rear preload at 6 and front at almost full and I got the sag I wanted, in my opinion it's the hydralics that give a harsh and bumpy at times ride. I ride solo and without luggage.

Nice! Quick question, what rider's footpegs did you fit on your bike. The ones I got don't fit that nice, the hole is a bit of center resulting in wierd angles of the footpegs.

I believe that the newer handlebars would fit without problems or modifications. That said, Rizoma bars are always nice!

I have seen gen1 Tracer with the gen2 handlebars. Why wouldn't they fit after all?

There are reviews that claim almost 8lt/100km (average). https://youtu.be/-acJgdf4JJk

After many years, I'm genuinely impressed with a new bike launch. Amazing specs, first reports show that it's the real deal. I wish I could afford one. Some would be disappointed with the fuel economy though...

I have also bought and installed a set of cheap rubber pegs, bought them locally (as the other 2 sets I ordered from eBay took almost 2 months to arrive only to discover I messed up, both were for passenger pegs). I have noticed since that over 6K rpm the pegs vibrate quite uncomfortably (didn't notice that with stock pegs) and they also have a weirg lean angle ( a bit downwards which is good as they provide a better lean angle). Anyone else has these problems or is it a bad copy?

Did a bit of commuting😁

Bump on this thread as I did a cleaning on my calipers only to discover some of the derbiss on the pistons was actually smth like corrosion. I did my best to clean as much as I could but there were some small patches left...Applied some red rubber grease and left it like that for a future check. Good thing is that the corrosion marks were high on the pistons some hopefully no damage to the sealing o rings. My question is, as price for new pistons+orings isn't cheap, what calipers are compatible to our bikes? I read R1M calipers are a nice upgrade, I also imagine that any brembo caliper with 108mm mounting bolt distance fitted in japanese bike ( ie GSXRs) would also fit but with spacers. R1M ones need spacers if I don't fit bigger brake disks?

I think you should first try different brake pads or SS brake lines. IMO the Brembo GP4S are an overkill for our bikes.

As I ride more my 2015 Tracer, I can also say that the gearbox is clunky or at least clunkier than other bikes I had before. Not a major problem for me but I still try to get used to the notchy clutch! I can't start from stop smoothly, I'm constantly trying to find the correct balance between throttle and clutch and gear changes are a bit "sloppy" too, I find it smoother to do clutchless changes.... I have the updated clutch cable and I'm certain clutch tension is as manual states.
