I sold mine as well. Decision was motivated by how my only street bike owning friend got creamed and almost died. No fault of his own at all. I love the Tracer and wish I could have kept it but this is a one bike house. Picked a practically brand new 2022 Tenere 700. All my other friends have adventure bikes. Figured if I can survive the trip to the forests, it will decrease my chances of being taken out by being off pavement. So far I'm loving the slowed pace and the off-road rides. There is so much traffic now and people simply only care about themselves. Be safe out there brothers and keep the rubber side down.

My 2020 GT is a great bike and serving me well. If I was to get a new one I would probably stay with a triple but it would be this triple... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zSApMzfVKI

I also have the SRC in black. Has been nothing but great, looks good, and has done it's job on a few occasions. Definitely worth every penny.

@marcuso here are the pics. Front...sorry these are upside down🙃 Back.... horrible lighting on that one. But you can see the difference in the lights. Front and rear are the same length, about 5 3/8".

Looks like Givi has changed their styling a little but I have one similar to this (see link). Has been nothing but perfect since install, as in no issues. Comes with a rain cover. Maybe once this year (big trip but just put things other places) I wished it was a little bigger but overall prefer the smaller bag on the tank. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-ea144-tanklock-5l-tank-bag?sku_id=10203271

Installed MT-07 led turn signals on my 2020 GT. It should have come like this from the factory.

https://www.adventuretech.biz/yamaha-fj-09mt-09tracer-900-gt.html Have not installed yet but I have an AdventureTech LLC mount for my 2020 GT. I'm wondering if it will work on the new one? Maybe give adventure tech a call and ask. Edit: I'm saving for these https://www.rubymoto.com/products/r5 I love riding at night

Ok I got the mt-07 led turn signals on and functioning perfectly as @CJ3cyl said they would. They look factory. All that panic on the wiring for nothing. Did some research on youtube to figure it out. So for those that are going to do this. Splice the black to black an then splice color to color for the back leds. For the fronts, the blue is the running lights so splice blue to blue. Black is the neg so black to black. An then color to color. Hope this makes sense. The relay posted on CJ3cyl post, the one from from revzilla, works as advertised.

I am probably sticking with Michelins. They have not done me wrong yet. Expensive but last a long time. Currently have Pilot Road 4's

Ok this probably a dumb question but I don't want to screw this up.... I have to switch out the plugs on the mt-07 LEDs to the stock plugs. The wiring colors do not match. Mt-07 rear right side is brown and black wires. Stock rear right side blinker is green and black wires. This is probably a given but I have never cut wires on my motorcycles in the past, but am I to assume I splice the brown to green and the black to black? Do I even have to worry about polarity here? Again probably common sense but want confirmation, thanks. @CJ3cyl? Will probably ask again once I get to the three wire front blinkers😊

Rode it for a few hours adjusting suspension along the way. Much improved. Then washed and applied bugslide. Then got rid of the red stripe up around the tank. (Would post pics but apparently they are too large).

I edited my post to tell a little about this year's ride. It was great. I agree it's a great area. Would be a cool place to retire to. This year we found out they barricaded the county during the wuhan lockdowns. Couldn't believe it. They said they had actual barricades on the roads blocking people from entering. Crazy.

Hmmm, never experienced that on the c road. However I never go into that area on a weekend. All you mentioned are spectacular rides. Have fun and stay safe on your next trip! This year on the c road. Great ride into tellico, like a pseudo gp race. On the way back to robbinsville...40 foot visibility fog with constant rain the whole ride, and big wind on the openings. It was awesome!!!

Good idea! Pretty sure I could since it's the back one that is on back order. I think the back two are interchangeable. However, I'm just gonna wait out the back order cuz I have been tied up lately and don't want any bike down time until winter anywho.
