Madstad and you still had to install the wind deflector?

How is FJ-09 at high altitudes?
Rick123 replied to Brian's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
The only issue you might experience is better ! fuel mileage. -
Yes. On previously owned 2015 (put 20000km on it) and 2017 FJ09 (road it for almost 40000 km) as well as on 2019 Tracer 900 (first time today in fact). No issues.

What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?
Rick123 replied to yamaham's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
Finally after 2 months of ownership of my 2019 Tracer I had a first chance to take her out (10C no rain or snow and pretty clean roads). With 12000km on it she runs very smooth. Heated grips worked as they should and wind deflector on the top of the stock windscreen too. Seems like she is more stable in the straight line on high speeds compering to my previously owned 2015 and 2017 FJ09. Noticed that A mode works better. Much smoother. So far so good. And here she is before (2 months ago) stock and after (today) with wind deflector, beak, radiator grill, Garmin gps, Oxford heated grips, short adjustable clutch and breaks levers, SW Motech tank bag, engine protection and skid plate, adventure Yamaha foot pegs, removed passenger pegs, kick stand enlarged plate, mesh seat cover, luggage rack with Givi top case, heated gear and charger connectors, and wheel stripes. Still waiting for auxiliary lights to be delivered. And yes suspension set up was one of the first. And 4l/100 km fuel consumption. Great. -
Finally had a first ride of the season and first one on my new (to me) Tracer 900. After half an hour of riding red Tracer 9 (GT perhaps) at the intersection of Lower Base Line W and Fourth Line. Today (26th of March) around 4.15. It was first time I’ve seen 9 on the road. One hour later dark grey FJ09 on Trafalgar Rd in Erin (Ballinafad) going South. I was on this one.

Good afternoon Heavy and yes you’re right about “needs”. Lol. -
As I mentioned above (I was talking about first generation). I don’t know what radiator guard you’ve got but I installed it on my 2019 without removing panels. It wasn’t easy but it is done.

Just kidding. In fact I’m in the same process right now. For me it is not first time but he might be scared that this bike needs so much to be ready to go … lol -
And what year is your bike? Anyway, you don’t need to remove fairings in order to install radiator guard but if you really want to you don’t have to remove Heed crash bars (on first generation).

Seems to me he needs to change the bike. -

Only applied reflective wheel stripes. Looks much better now. -
Don’t buy from Amazon! You can get it from Ali Express perhaps 40% cheaper.

I got a set for GS1250 2013-18 from Ali Express for 16 CAD. Passenger cover seems to be pretty big but I’m not going to use it anyway. Rider’s seat cover fits pretty good. -

Congratulations and welcome aboard. -
As mentioned above “hard is better than soft” (that’s not only in regards to Corbin. Lol). You’ll appreciate it on the long trip.

You’re not attempting to kill her I hope.
