I've fitted an oiler to most of my previous bikes. Scottoiler used to be my go to brand. But they've got really expensive. Then I tried a cobrra oiler, very good but still around the £80 mark. Looking for a new oiler for my 9gt I found some cobbra rip offs in the £20 to £30 price bracket. I bought one and honestly can't tell the difference between the two. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. I made a longer mounting bracket and mounted it to the inside of the passenger foot peg hanger. Easy to route the supply hose from that position too. I use 80W/90 gear oil in it.

Strangest thing. Arrived at the dealer. Dip and main beam working normally. Must have been working when I left home, I didn't check. Nothing for the mechanic to check out. Assured me that cornering lights would work normally too. I will check that later tonight. I must have disturbed something changing all those fuses.

Thank you for the comprehensive reply Skip. No, I've not been tinkering with add ons or anything. I checked every fuse available as I was unable to identify the dedicated light fuse. The service was only a minor annual check, oil change, new filters etc. Dealers reopen tomorrow. I will let them sort it, hopefully. I just wondered if anyone had experienced this. Cheers

Noticed last night on a rare for me night time ride. Neither of my led headlamps or cornering lights are working. The daytime running lights are fine. Had a routine service at the dealers a fortnight ago. Is there a connector in the cockpit, or anywhere else, that may have been left unconnected? I've checked fuses, all good. In fact I swapped every fuse to check there wasn't a blown one I couldn't see. I can't contact the dealer until tomorrow. Just wondered if anyone can throw some light on the subject. Geddit ? Thanks.

On the 9gt the connecting plug is under the passenger seat. It's only a small connector, I was looking for something larger.

I think a lot of bike manufacturers are the same. My last 4 modern triumph bikes all required the purchase of a comfort seat. The originals were all painful after an hour or twos riding. All the replacement seats I bought were a massive improvement. Its all about them making coin I suppose.

Thanks for the reply Kenny. That's exactly what I was hoping to read. Cheers.

Can anyone using the yamaha genuine comfort seat recommend it ? A search on them only brings up ones for resale. Makes me wonder if they're any good. After 2 hours riding on the original seat my butt is aching, literally, for a rest stop. Any opinions please.

Hi mate, Personally I wouldn't worry too much about the QS. Get the engine management light reset and all should be good. I tripped the EML on the first lubing of the chain on my 9GT using your method. It sends the traction control sensor into confusion, hence the EML illuminating. I bought an OBD2 reader to reset it myself. Job done. I didn't know that your model is a dealer reset only. That's unusual.

Hi Mark, I did exactly yesterday same - tripped the engine management light running the bike while on the centre stand. Unfortunately it doesn't reset while riding the bike. Had to buy an obd2 reader to reset the thing. It was easier to do than I anticipated. Good luck with your convalescence. John

Thank you for taking the time to post those images, appreciate it. I owned a 900 tracer like yours a while back. I was able to remove body panels on that model to do some mods/work. Unfortunately the 9gt is a totally different kettle of fish ( to me ). Hidden push pins used as fasteners. I'm not brave enough to start something I probably won't be able to finish. I'm hoping Haynes might produce a workshop manual for the model. Thanks again for your trouble.

Lovely job there mate. Thanks for the links. I would like to change the indicators on my 9gt. Not sure where the hell to start unbuttoning it though.

Ashtray ?

Just to close this topic, may help someone else with a similar problem. EML reset using a code reader with 6 pin adaptor lead. All functions back in working order. I bought a THINKOBD500 from Thinkcar to reset the eml. One happy bunny 🐰

Thanks for that OldBikers. I won't waste my time then with the TC settings. You're right I can't change any of the settings. I hadn't considered that. Just checked, no adjustments possible. It was a one off running the engine on the centre stand. I had fitted a pressure oiler and wanted to check that the oil dispensing nib was in the correct position. Cheers John
