I put 1/2 inch spacers under my screen in all four positions to allow more air up underneath it, using M5x0.8 30mm long screws. It does seem to be somewhat better, especially when there's not too much traffic ahead.
I had a Givi Airflow on my '12 VStrom and loved it--it wasn't the best looking screen, but it was really effective and quiet. Hopefully Givi will offer something in that line that somewhat integrates with the bike.
I also had a Givi Airflow on my '13 VStrom. It was fantastic! Incredibly quiet. Look back a few pages in this thread and you will see the Givi screen for the FJ - it's not an Airflow as it is only one piece. I'm tempted to buy another Airflow and drill some new holes/make some brackets to get it to fit on the FJ.

I tried to order the GIVI screen and mounting kit (they sell the 2 items bundled) from http://www.accessorimotostore.com but they don't ship to Canada
I then tried to order below from carpimoto.

They appear to ship to Canada but when it went to display the page for my bank's MasterCard verfication the page came up blank. Tried twice and same thing What's even more strange is I can't find a Contact Us link on Carpimoto's page to inquire about this issue. :(

My crystal ball is showing that you won't be pleased with the clip-on visor. Disclaimer, my crystal ball is wrong 50% of the time.

Hi Everyone, in looking at the Givi website they have a specific windscreen for the FJ09 (MT09 as it's known in Aust) part no: 2122DT. From the photos I think it looks good and would be quite effective Being tiered and wide at the bottom - http://www.givi.it/my-motorcycle#YAMAHA,MT-09_Tracer_(15)
has as anyone used this screen? Any feedback?
Nice Find! I took some screen caps and enlarged them for all to see

Could it be the noise is caused by the turbulence from poo stock screen? Prior to my FJ, I had no issues with noise. This changed with the FJ so I thought it was the helmet and switched to my Shoei Qwest, no noticeable difference in noise levels. FYI, webbikeworld also rates the Neotec as quieter than most. http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/shoei/neotec/I also use a neotec,but im finding it noisy compared to my previous helmet. -
I have way to many helmets! My go to helmet is a Shoei Neotec in flat black.
Seems to be a trend with the Neotecs here.

I had an adjustable visor thingy left over from my previous VStrom and since I'm resigned to the fact the stock screen is poo I took a drill to it and attached the visor. Looks shiet but not too shabbyy function-wise.
I experimented with various settings and in the end settled for the stock screen at the highest position and the visor set to the middle position. My head is mostly turbulent free, seems to be dependant on the wind direction.

I'm 6' and the screen is loud at ALL positions. Only way to get clean air is as JimF said, stand on the pegs. I had a Givi Airflow on my previous bike and it was fantastic. I noticed on Givi's Italian site that they are coming out with a model 2122DT for the Tracer. http://www.givi.it/my-motorcycle#YAMAHA,MT-09_Tracer_(15) Can't wait to see what they come up with.
