Great Gonzo

Oh dear 😞

No I’ve had the bike from new, I’ve got sports bikes too but these don’t lean as much. TBH it’s not really a massive issue as I use the centre stand 95% of the time. i was just curious if others felt the same. gonz.

I have put a larger foot on but I’m still not happy with the angle. gonz.

Does anyone find that the side stand leans the bike over too far ? I have a large heavy top box fitted and when using the side stand it just feels like it’s going to fall over lol. Gonz.

An update on my original post. I managed to get an original new Yamaha quick shifter for £144 which I thought was a good price. fitted today with a little help from YouTube, was actually very easily and only look 30 minutes. so glad I have done this as it’s a great laugh, gear changes are super fast and sound great. cheers Gonz.

Throttle not wide open tho right? gonz.

So no need to close throttle on up shifts? gonz.

Hi guys i currently have a 900 tracer on a 2021 reg but 2018/19 model not a GT. I have a few mods including the following. Yamaha heated grips. Yamaha rad cover. full black widow exhaust. re-map. ceramic coating. RG crash protection I like the idea of the quick shifter but I don’t know a lot about them so my questions are…. 1. How is it turned on and off? 2. Can you fit them yourself? 3. Can you switch from using the clutch to QS quickly ? 4 any disadvantages of them ? gonz

I’ve installed genuine Yamaha grips to my 2021 Tracer 900 and can confirm that it’s all controlled from the bikes software. works like a dream and very easy to install if you need to it yourself at a later date. gonz.

I commute most of the year round, but anything below 3 degrees celsius and I get the train. gonz.

God I’m confused now!!! so a gallon across the pond is not the same as a good old English gallon ? Lol.

I can hear you Clem Fandango 🤣 gonz.

Imperial?? uk still miles not kilometres. gonz.

Not bad sirepair. gonz.

Oh ok i didn’t know that. I think our regular fuel in the UK is 95 and our premium is 98+. im sure my handbook quotes to use premium fuel only. gonz.

93 fuel??? I thought you are meant to use a higher octane?

Wow that’s some great MPG there!! have you thought about getting the ECU mapped ? It totally smooths things out and you won’t need to ride in map B. gonz.

Out of interest what sort of MPG are you achieving? I know there’s a lot of things to factor but all comments all welcome. Im riding a new 2018 900 Tracer with a remapped ECU and black widow exhaust but MPG was consistent before. All sorts of riding conditions inc London City commuting. Always premium Shell Optimax 98 rom fuel average 59.5 mpg cheers Gonz.

Steve i have a 2021 900 tracer although it’s actually a 2018. I installed a 230mm GP style black widow and its bloody amazing, baffle in and it’s perfect. Before I had it remapped it popped and banged a lot. The bike ran well tho. now I have had it mapped and it’s super smooth, it still pops but not as much which I think is just right. Gonz.

This is the only good looking exhaust, not a fan of the stubby cans, slash cut all day long. gonz.
