I believe the video you're referring to is about the MT07 / FZ07 preload spacers. He experiments with different lenghts of preload spacers since the bike doesn't come stock with adjustable preload. This allows for a very cheap fix to the MT07 poor stock suspension. The Tracer has adjustable preload so that wouldn't be an issue. If you can't get the preload right even with the adjustement (because of your weight and/or ability) then you might want to consider new fork springs.

Stock fork oil is Yamaha Suspension Oil 01. If this oil currently suits your needs in terms of compression and rebound damping then you might want to stick to it. Personally when changing my front fork springs I used Motul 7.5W which has a bit more viscosity than the stock oil. I switched because I was almost at the end of the adjustment range on both adjusters. Regarding volume I used the fork oil level method (175mm air gap for both legs when measuring from the top of the gold fork tube with no spring, no spacer, no cap). Another method is to measure how much volume you pour out and pour in the same volume inside the fork leg. I suggest you watch Dave Moss videos especially the one for the R6 forks which are quite similar to the Tracer forks.

So I ended up opening the switch and did the exact same procedure described by Nick from Stoltec for the MT10 radial master cylinder kit install (see the final part of the video below). Note that I used a shim of my own that I had in stock. This allowed me to adjust the timing of the two switches - cruise control and brake light - as I want them to be. Not a difficult task but I almost lost those damn springs inside at least 3 times when they flew off across the garage 😂 Very happy with the result now as the brake light illuminates a hair after the cruise control disengages, which is right at the moment the front brakes are applied. If any of you have the same issue, I suggest you first go to the dealer and check if your front brake switch is faulty or was assembled incorrectly. If the switch itself is OK then if you're a bit OCD like me you can dive in this little procedure above.

I had evotech levers installed but put back the stock brake lever to make sure that wasn't the culprit. I've set the rear brake switch exactly as you did. I wish that the front brake switch was adjustable as well.

Thanks for your answer PhotoAl. Then I guess my dealer has its own definition of "normal" functioning. I will open the switch and see if I can spot something unusual inside there.

I heard of the upcoming recall through that thread but I believe it only deals with a cruise control related issue. From what I could tell the other brand new Tracers on the showroom floor had the same brake switch "sequence" and delay between the 2 clicks. However the pressure on the levers did came later than on my bike so it seemed like it matched the click better. I've started to use the rear brake as well for that same purpose but to me that's not a definitive fix. Interested to hear more experiences from other GT riders on the front brake switch.

I did the same mod and the Yamaha part number is 2PP-F84G0-V0-00 / HARD SADDLEBAG MOUNTS. I ordered mine more than a year ago from yocracing.com but I don't think this website exists anymore. Searching for the part number will get you plenty of websites to order from. However if you live in Europe like me the shipping taxes might be quite high.

Hi guys, new to this forum although I've already found plenty of great information and troubleshooting on here! Thanks for that Now to my recently discovered issue on my '19 GT... when I apply the front brake, the brakes are clearly applied before the tail light illuminates. I can easily hear the two clicks on the brake switch, first one being the cruise control disengaging and second one being the tail light. However that second click seems to happen quite a bit too late therefore I'm braking with no brake light until I apply more pressure on the lever. Wondering if I'm the only one around here with this issue? Went to the dealer and estimated the front brake light switch has a "normal" behaviour. To me this doesn't sound normal and quite dangerous when feathering the front brake in traffic. They said they can't do anything about it.Any feedback from you guys is appreciated before I dive in and open this switch for some fine tuning surgery 🤣
