    Ok. So I'm going to try and buy that guys mcct of him. He won't use it again. They are twice the cost here compared to the US for some reason. As is the stock cct.

    Reason im asking is mine is failing. Daily winter commuter , 31k 2015 tracer. Some guy showed me pics of his cam chain guides after Yamaha had to strip the engine back to get the entire system out. It was destroyed by the manual APE tensioner. He probably would not admit it, but it looked to be to tight. Has the stock yamaha CCT been fixed since 2005. To prevent failure? Should I just order NEW stock Yam CCT? I hear that the cam chain length varies with temperature . So I cant imagine the manual type could possibly compensate when the engine heats up. Or when its cold. Im already 2 miles up the road bythe time I get to normal temp. The cam chain noise stops when the engine heats to around 65C

    Beware of citys that restrict traffic. I accidentally drive 20 foot through the gates of Siena. Followed locals.. Reversed out right away after I seen a sign. 6 month s later, 150 euro fine to my home in Ireland. sick

    It may be a symptom of coming off a bike with tele-lever suspension, but I really do have to push hard against the bike . New tire will be here in a few days.

    Yeah. so i went out and got one. Lots of fun. engine is fantastic. Not to sure I like the way it turns in though. The GS was easy to tip in, lots of confidence and planted hard into the ground. Easy to grind the side of the tires off. The Tracer gets down so far and tips in hard and inconsistent . Like she wants to fall inwards into the corner. I ordered a new front tire as the current one has a little flat spot. What pressure do you guys run .. Mez roadtec cold wet conditions. I usually run mid 30s in winter to help get heat into the tire.

    Hiya. My 16 year old 1200gs crapped itself last week . Clutch problems. Daily commuting killed it. Going to buy a standard tracer instead. Going to see a few in the next week. Is there any common problems I should be checking for on the bike?
