    I don't think I love my Tracer

    Maybe it's just not the right bike for you! I'm 6'4, and something that is not in the same style like the tracer feel... small...

    Is it really the sporty/touringy/ADV like style you don't like? If not, try something like a Tiger800/900, F800/850 GS?

    I come from a 2010 Kawasaki Z750, the bike I got my license for! I loved that bike, but riding it for more than 1.5 hours was a real pain...

    I got an opportunity to try a Z900, but just looking at how small it was compared to my FJ refrained me to do so!

    I'm not trying to convince you to not move, but try different bikes before making the move!

    Maybe rent a few for a day or two so you can really feel if you would like to make the change!

    I hear you!  If you've got a compressor or access to one, I recommend one of these for next time.  Makes the job so much less painful and/or slow and as mentioned, messy.

    It's a vacuum bleeder if you weren't aware?

    Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, I don't have a compressor or have access to one (was thinking of getting one though).

    I used this instead... The front brake caliper was messy, got a 10mm for the rear brake, and it was way better!

    The Motion Pro Mini Brake Bleeder combines a wrench and...

    By the way, how long can I keep the DOT4 bottle?

    I know it gets bad after a while, but can I use what's remaining after a month? or is it too long to wait for?

    Hi Xstoff welcome to the forum, I had booked three test rides, Tiger 800 BMW 850 GS with the Tracer 900 first. mind made up part way through the first test ride choice was easy. The Triumph and BMW test rides got cancelled.Enjoy every mile.

    The Tiger800 was definitely a great contender (maybe the next ride ;))! 

    I tested the F800GS Adventure... I didn't like it, due to the 2 cylinder engine, I really don't like that configuration...

    My first ride was a 2010 Kawasaki z750, and I really loved the 4 cylinder engine :)
