Get the bike you want IMHO, even if you have to pay a bit more. I would "at minimum" get a 900GT year model, like a 19/20 if you can find one, the changes made up from the FJ is worth it. On another note, the Suzuki V-Stroms are some of the best all around motorcycles that are out there and with a rabid following, I have previously owned 3 of them. The available accessories are unparalleled, and they are dead nuts reliable and easy to ride as well. Good luck with whatever you end up doing.

Noco Lithium for Tracer 900
Ride365 replied to Garz747's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I am still on the fence about switching from AGM over to Lithium ion, not sure for me that the lemon is worth the squeeze, and the reliability still sounds sketchy. -
Ignition key programming
Ride365 replied to Stumpyone's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
This isn't for American models by the way "for anyone wondering"......they don't have this feature. -
Front rotors "warped" from 30k onwards apparently
Ride365 replied to ChickenIsMe's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
So.....dishonest people don't always live in America? Glad you checked yourself, and shame on the tech/techs for trying to pull a fast one on you. -
Can't post in classifieds

Send the Admins a private message, overall the traffic on this site and participation is very low. -
Front springs are cheap, and yes you'll "likely" want to do them and of course new fluid if you swap the rear out. Yeah at that weight you are good, but suspension being properly dialed in for the rider is very noticeable.

You lost me at "crash helmet". 😀

Considering moving from '20 900GT to '24 9 GT+
Ride365 replied to Jayzonk's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
No way I would be sanding/narrowing the screen "in particular a tinted screen", I just had to barely tilt my bar back a bit so the handguards cleared. Could always lose the handguards too, but man I wouldn't be trying to mod an expensive and perfectly good screen. My 2 cents, if even worth that. LOL -

Gen 3 Tracer Vcyclenut ECU Flash & Service Review

I may eventually send mine in, although it runs quite well now. Thanks for the honest write up. -
What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?
Ride365 replied to yamaham's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
Mine is also a 23, with the GT2 package and DCT 7 speed.......loving it!!! -
Ohlins full suspension replacement: advise please
Ride365 replied to alquimista's topic in FJ-09 Suspension
Wrong bike for you IMHO, something like a Suzuki V-Strom or Super Tenere makes more sense for where you live/ride and the size of ya. -
How Cold Do You Ride? GTA/GHA/Niagara
Ride365 replied to Hamilton Tracer's topic in Canadian FJ-09 Owners
My fear of ice/slick trumps anything else, so the risk just isn't worth it to me. -
2020 900GT, another seat discussion.
Ride365 replied to foxtrot722's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Nah just too damn ugly and old man looking, plus I find my Bagster seat to be very good looking and very comfortable as well. I think the 21 and up Tracer is a bit fugly, but the original FJ and Tracer 900 GT look quite pleasing. -
What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?
Ride365 replied to yamaham's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
All my cars and motorcycles get a name, and yeah they are all of the female variety. My Tracer is Candace, and my Forte GT is Pearl. -
I have a hard time believing that TPS differ much from brand to brand or model to model, they are just a rheostat correct? Wouldn't programming in the ECM/ECU be what makes the difference?

How Cold Do You Ride? GTA/GHA/Niagara

45F is about low as I will go on clean/dry roads, and I just wear light layers under my Aerostich Darien jacket and pants......love those heated grips!!!! -
2020 900GT, another seat discussion.
Ride365 replied to foxtrot722's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Russel seats "IMHO" are FUGLY and belong on a Wing or a cruiser, but yeah I hear they are very comfy. -
2020 900GT, another seat discussion.
Ride365 replied to foxtrot722's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Bagster........best seat ever had, and I have run both Sargent and Corbin on multiple bikes. READY LUXE / complete seats / Seats - BAGSTERWORLD -
On my year GT, the install was taking off the seat and removing 2 easily accessible bolts, and then replacing with included longer bolts. So what's different on the new model to make it a PITA?

No we got more snow Saturday early morning and the roads were salty.....but enjoying my new fun car however.
-
This makes more sense for my new car concerning Ohio Winters, this state might lead the way for most salt used.

I have yet to see one of these peculiar machines in the wild.
-
The Honda VFR and VTR have well documented stator/rectifier issues, and yes I hate troubleshooting electrical gremlins.
-
I wasn't a fan of the stock tires either, but damned if I will throw away perfectly good new tires I paid for. 😉
