  1. Add to that tint issue is that here in NY, NYC and the surrounding suburbs at least, the new trend is to tint the whole front windshield of your car. I truly do not get how these people get away with it, and when you do catch of glimpse of the driver, they’re also wearing sunglasses!!! Wtf 😎
  2. Completely normal, at least in my case, some great points made above like being “alert” but not paranoid and having good and bad riding days. I got my Tracer hoping to commute to work into NYC from the burbs and once I get into the city I no longer enjoy the ride. It is filled with crazy people who don’t respect each other in cars let alone bikes, I now look forward to my weekend rides further north and into the mountains with much less traffic.
  3. I would definitely try swapping ECU's if at all possible, I think that would narrow things down for you. Good luck.
  4. Went to get my suspension set up at Washington Cycle Works in NJ, I haven’t been riding for a long time so I didnt think I was experienced enough to notice a suspension tune but I sure did immediately after this. We have a lot twisty roads up here where I live and I am getting more comfortable each time I ride to push the bike further, but I always felt uneasy leaning the bike as far as I know it could go, after the set up it was so much easier to do, I can only only imagine what swapping out the spring for a upgraded one would do, thats on the wish list for the future.
  5. Installed the Booster Plug, wow, if you do city driving like I do in NYC, this thing makes it sooo much better! Stuck in slow moving traffic without this was tiresome, Now I can literally crawl along in first with the clutch fully disengaged.
  6. I didnt compare them side by side but they look the same to me.
  7. I got the standard length, they are a very good upgrade imo, at least for me and my embarrassingly small hands, the clutch works just fine with the cc.
  8. I use them and like them, noticed less vibration on the bars, I think they're worth it. Fit was just fine on the bike, I used the air compressor method you can find on Youtube, went on in a minute and didn't have to deal with the soapy mess.
  9. Thanks man, I need to get off this forum so I can stop spending money.....
  10. I was actually thinking about that today, lol, might have to look into that.
  11. Hit 83* here in NY today, absolutely had to ride, after installing the Grip Puppies I now notice the vibration in the foot pegs, it was there before but now that I dont feel it as much in my hands I notice it more there at higher speeds. I agree with everyone else though that it is a heck of nice engine, when you get on the throttle it does not dissapoint!
  12. Just got the Evotechs delivered today, 10 days shipped from the UK, can’t wait to get them on.
  13. Made myself a little more visible.. some cheap Amazon fog lights and TS, Denali brake light and some black reflective tape.
  14. I've been doing this ever since I saw it on MCRider's page last year, very much improved my shifting, when I got the Tracer and rode it home I tried it and it worked as expected, but then I tried the quick shifter and I enjoyed that much more..
  15. Thanks, I’ve been looking at those as well but I’m not sure about the look of them on this bike, but they do have some great reviews from folks who have them, just might bite the bullet and go with the Yamah LED’s.
