Torque Specs and Aftermarket Parts
Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to jthayer09's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
If all else fails, just remember never exceed the maximum torque for bolt/screw size. You can just google search "standard torque chart metric" for reference. -
I would have love to join. However, I'll be running a half marathon in Champaign-Urbana IL

Yamaha rear rack and 39L Top Box installed.
Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to Butrzrulz's topic in FJ-09 Parts and Accessory reviews
I really like how the top case and rear rack has a nice clean OEM look. Plus, you can also order a custom lock for the top case to match your bike ignition key. So you don't need to have two different keys. With a 50L top case you can fit two helmets though -
FJ-09 questions, potential new owner
Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to themyst's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
Well, I actually have a 2020 tracer 900 GT. In stock form I did not get any speed wobble at 130 MPH absolutely no wind or any other cars around. Then I installed a madstad windshield and I get speed wobbles around 110ish MPH with little to no wind and no cars around. However, on the highway around 80 MPH semi's really upset the bike with my madstad windshield also my side and top cases are installed. However, if remove my top case, sides cases, and windshield then the bike is fine at high speeds (130MPH). And much more lively. Just remember... there's a speed limit. -
FYI, I highly recommend checking your valve clearances sooner. Most people have tight valves. Yamaha recommends the maintenance at 26K miles I believe, check it sooner, like 20K Miles.

I personally don’t adjust anything when going off-road because it’s so spontaneous. it be really hard pumping up the tires in middle of nowhere. different tires will definitely help. My bike is literally 99.5 percent of the time on pavement . The more you try to make the bike more like a dual sport the worst it will handle on the curves. it all depends on your riding style.

Bike handles good with roads with light gravel like the pictures above. can easily handle 20 mph cruising and top speed 40ish before something sketchy happens. Handles pretty well is hand sand…lol lastly with small rocks you just have to be more careful. I was more afraid of bottoming out. Go slower and there’s less chance of bottoming out the shocks and the oil pan. Which I did both before.

Let's See Those Chicken Strips
Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to Your_Boy_Yuriy's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Same here I have been starting to scape my pegs too... usually I wear boots that stick out a little further then the pegs so I have to tuck me my feet in more. I never really thought I would be scraping the pegs on my tracer. -
Haha Oswego is now completely different. You won't recognized it anymore all the corn fields are now gone.

Hey there, I live near Aurora IL

Being paranoid on the long trip sucks... happens to me all the time. Sounds like it has nothing to with your coolant. You can check to see if you have any stiff links in the chain. That makes a lot of noise. Chains usually last roughly 20K miles. Obviously some can go out earlier and some can get more miles. To me this sounds like it might be your issue. If you think it’s running on two cylinders pour some water on each header and check the consistency of the steam. Might have an intermediate spark plug failure... but I doubt that. just remember if it doesn’t ride the same as before then somethings wrong. Best of luck and don’t get too paranoid.

I think I have a short.
Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to Mr.Jeem's topic in FJ-09 Known issues and solutions
So I’m hoping that you picked up this bike with a discount since it had the battery in reverse? -
Hello there, That's the first I ever heard of a stock exhaust being too loud. If your bike isn't brand new with zero miles maybe the previous owner swapped out the stock exhaust with a aftermarket one? I personally don't know of a aftermarket exhaust that will reduce the noise. Worst case scenario shove some stainless steel wool into the exhaust... lol just saying

Need New (Used) Engine, XSR? FZ?, FJ09.
Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to redfjniner's topic in FJ-09 Tech Questions
However, it might be cheaper taking the head off and sending it over to the machine shop. Plus I am not sure if you will need to drop the engine to remove the head. Removing the head shouldn't be difficult. Its just splitting the crankcase and doing a proper rebuild is were everything starts to get messy. And sorry to hear about the valve giving out. How many miles on the engine? -

Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to redfjniner's topic in FJ-09 Tech Questions
Yeah I agree a engine swap would be the easiest to do. However if you have time on your hands rebuilding the motor is pretty fun. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184978737908?fits=Model%3AFZ09|Make%3AYamaha&hash=item2b11978af4:g:we0AAOSwZZxhCKKn -
Sound like a fuel mapping so Yamaha can pass emissions. I know that the 2020 BMW S1000RR American version has a flat spot compared to the Euro bikes.... Or at least that's what I heard. Also double check your modes. Sometime when I am in TCS2 and give it full throttle I can feel a cut of power. Be careful when traction control is off

2015 MT-09 Tracer Cam chain tensioner part number
Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to kirgudu's topic in FJ-09 Tech Questions
Hi there fellow Russian.... Well actually Ukrainian that speaks Russian. Mine started making noises too around 30,000 miles. I replaced it with another OEM tensioner from Revzilla during my valve clearance adjustment. So far the noise is gone but I should of replaced it with a manual tensioner. During the winters months I'll replaced it with a manual tensioner. -
I'm in IL, I ride in WI pretty often. I'm back from my trips... We should try meeting up again. I also know that 2and3cylinders lives close by too.

Advice needed - high speed front end shake
Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to 1moreroad's topic in FJ-09 Tech Questions
Agreed, Could be a defective tire too. -
I just got back from the Dragon's Tail (July 31st)…. Man great road for leaning. I was actually surprised by my chicken strips Let's see some street legal and track chicken strips.

Yep, just looked it up. Who actually follows all the periodic maintenance items? The owner manual listed 30 items. I guessing the average person doesn't take their tracer/FJ off-roading often. I at least have +300 miles of dirt ,loose dirt, and gravel roads.

Your_Boy_Yuriy replied to Your_Boy_Yuriy's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Fully geared up. My water pouch didn’t even help I was just drinking hot water the whole time. and the massive windshield wasn’t ideal. I was like standing 1/3 of the way. wasn’t sure what was better the the hot air hitting my face while standing or Slowly sweating in my helmet.
