I don't wash my bike after every ride, I know, I know........

But when it is time, I take it down to the self service car wash and put in a few quarters and spray it clean. I make sure I get everything soaking wet, and the bugs are soft and come off easily and stand back a ways to reduce the pressure on the bike.

I have been doing this for a long time, and it seems to work great for me.

Should you wash it after every ride?

Wildfires? The same as in Alberta, Eastern provinces and BC in Canada, Spain, Italy and of course Hawaii. It has nothing to do with wild.

LH only. Some scratches on paint. Asking $190 OBO.

Sold.

You Euros don't ride much?

Here we can do 9,400 miles in 2 or 3 months.

Guess it's your tiny countries.

😁

It’s been 6 weekend since I got my Tracer 900 GT and already 6000km more on it. And that’s with only one longer 3 days 1700km trip. The rest is local riding here in GTA Ontario.

Sold.

19000km. In stock condition + heated grips, short adjustable clutch/breaks levers, new soft saddlebags and RAM phone holder. New tires installed in May. Run on synthetic oil. Asking 8800 CAD cert. OBO. Located in Mississauga, ON.

Blue GT tonight (Sunday) 9pm 403 & Dundas Street Tim Horton’s parking lot in Mississauga. I was on black and silver one.

To burn off speed you better use front brakes…

Today 7.22 pm couple on charcoal FJ09. Intersection of Mississauga Rd & King. I was on black Tracer 900.

Cleaned it up nicely after 2 days 900km trip, lubricated the chain and installed LED brake lights for the top case. Adjusted front suspension. Now going for short ride. 

Sold.

Skid plate, GPS and auxiliary lights moved from 900 to new (to me) 900 GT. That was in fact yesterday. Today I took her for 555 km ride. I must say cruise control is great.

Well, I spent half of the day cleaning up my 2019 900 and my (new to me - picked up yesterday) 2019 GT. The transferring process started. So far I transferred wind deflector, the beak, SW Motech tank bag with mounting ring and Air Hawk seat cushion with cover. Removed passenger grabs from GT. Few more accessories left thanks be done - radiator guard, hand levers, engine protection, skid plate, top case with rack and LED lights, foot pegs, auxiliary lights, GPS and side stand foot enlargement-before GT is ready to go and 900 is ready to go on the market. Anyone interested in Ontario? Mint condition with only 18000 km on it.

Today GT got fresh oil and oil filter. Foot enlargement and engine protectors moved from one to another. Relocated RAM phone holder too.

I put a set of RoadSport II on mine too.  Don't have a ton of miles on them yet but they seem like a solid choice.

I only put 250 km yesterday on them but next weekend I’m going to Ride The Highlands so perhaps another 2000km or so.

It’s expandable. VGC. Asking $170 OBO. Retail over $350 plus tank ring and tax. I have 2 and 1 have to go.

Just  got 15000km on my Tracer 900 and it was time to change tires. Original rear was basically done. Because I’m going for 4 days trip this week it was time for new “shoes”. This time Dunlop Sportmax Sportroad2. At the same time there was a time for oil change (Rotella T6 full synthetic Diesel engine oil). When I finished took her for 250 km ride. Rolling so much smoother…cornering way better and faster - very neutral and stable. And transmission smooth like a butter. So far so good.

Good job Heavy. 

From my experience definitely top case. I have it on my bike all the time. Much more useful and convenient. In my case 46-47l is enough. I’ve been using side cases only for long weekends and multi day trips. Aluminum side cases? It can break you leg pretty easy if you go down.

Just in case - written text struggles with tone - I in no way meant my comment as an insult. 

I was just saying the fuel mileage you got is definitely achievable.  I'd argue at least amongst people posting their milage however, it's not normal riding though.  Probably more responsible, however!

As to treating it gently, well, I suppose that depends on how you define gently I'd argue the CP3 was designed from the ground up to be ridden pretty hard and seems happiest above 5k RPM, and I endeavour to keep her happy at all times.

To each their own though!

I didn’t take it as an insult at all. Just healthy discussion. All good.
