  1. Cambelville or Belfountain might be pretty good place to meet if I may suggest. Pretty convenient to get there from any direction.
  2. You have basically brand new bike (with 6000km on it). Why would you even think about getting new one. And that’s without talking about price difference.
  3. That was fast this time. Congratulations. Coming to Bancroft this year on new bike?
  4. and yes I’m still ready to go
  5. And more stuff on “new” bike. First I replaced dog bones back to the stock set up (it was lowered by previous owner). It can be done without removing the wheel and dropping exhaust btw. as some of you suggested here. After that was time to transfer engine guards. Done. Finally I installed the spacer that raised the seat about 8mm. Few other thinks left which I’m planning to do tomorrow.
  6. I prefer them attached to forks/fender mounting bolts. This way they are basically in constant movement (more noticeable to others) and they are pretty far from turn signals (this way not interrupting function of them).
  7. And wrenching continued today. This time: beak transferred, brake fluid reservoirs cups transferred as well as SW Motech tank bag mounting ring and the tank bag, kickstand enlargement plate and hand guards. Yamaha top case rack and box on new bike replaced with Givi set from the old one.
  8. No, no damage and no crash. Last one I put on road with 6500km (4000miles) 1-st of July 2023. By the time I finished riding season last year it had 20 000km (12 000miles) on it. Right now almost 21 000. So I figured out that by the time I finish this riding season it will perhaps get up to 50 000km (30 000miles). It will be hard to sell it without loosing a lot of money. Why not to get one with 4000km (2.500 miles) if the price is right and be ok for another riding season.
  9. Got new bike this week (new to me). In fact exactly the same as the old one 2019 900 GT. The only difference is the new one comes with 4000km when the old one with 20000 and the fact it is basically stock. Today was a first day that I had a chance to start transfer some stuff. So far windscreen, radiator grill and managed to relocate the handlebars to the stock position (closer to rider). What left? The beak, auxiliary lights, GPS, engine guards, skid plate, foot pegs, stock dog bones, sidekick enlargement plate and top case mounting rack.
  10. Oil and and oil filter changed. Good clean up after riding yesterday on roads covered with lot of salt.
  11. It happened to me February 9-th and 3 times after that. Today was first one in March. Over 600 km so far this season.
  12. For 2018-2020 model. Like new. Asking 150 CAD OBO for Givi rack and $220 OBO for the seat.
  13. It seems pretty low. I’m averaging around 50MPG and it seems pretty constant (2 FJ09 previously, Tracer 900 standard and now on GT).
  14. Good choice. You won’t be disappointed. I got my GT 2.5 months ago. That’s after 2015 and 2017 FJ09 (43000km in one year on 2017). Not single issue. At the beginning of this year I got 2019 standard Tracer 900 but few months later found great deal on low mileage 2019 GT. After 2.5 months on the road and 10 000km already I couldn’t be happier. Great bike. And cruise control is its best feature. Ride safe and enjoy it.
  15. Silver FJ09 Tim Horton Dundas and 403 tonight. I was on black Tracer 900 GT.
  16. On 900 or 900GT I haven’t noticed any difference.
  17. Welcome a board and keep shiny side up.
  18. Congratulations. Ride safe and enjoy it. Seems like sometimes it’s worth to take a risk…btw my first one was also 2017 fully loaded. Than was 2015, 2019 Tracer 900 and for last 6 weeks Tracer 900GT. Already 6000km on my own on it. Great bikes.
