Yep, I also ride with both on. My buddies say those lights are the brightest they have seen.

That does look nice. Need to sit on one.

Sometimes riding across North or South Dakota you a re literally riding the bike at an angle to keep ma straight line.

Hope your not using a pressure washer

Just got back from a ride today with my 2020 Tracer and my friend who has the PA. He managed to get the bags and trunk. Overall the bike seems to work for him. He did need to bring it back for computer problems/reflash. Also it did not have all the modes it was supposed to have. One thing he noticed was that something was misaligned when looking at the fairing / gages. Brought it back to the dealer who said there was nothing they could do to it. Whaaat on a $20,000 bike. I would not go for that. I think he ended up shimming something in the front with washers to straighten things out.

My 2020 Tracer is pretty loud also and I also wear plugs. Well it is load compared to my FJR1300. So can you tell us what your last bike was. If you came from a Goldwing or similar yes the Tracer will be considerably loader.

Great write up. Maybe it was the camera angle but that sandwich looks huge and the bottle looks so small.

If it didn't shake with your last tire it very well could be the new tire/or balance/or not seated on the rim/or air pressure. Check all of them. You didn't say how many miles are on it but if you have several thousand I would also be checking the stem bearings.

I purchased the touring shield from Yamaha for the 2020. Im assuming the 2021 may be different but similar. Big improvement over the stock shield.

For me the quick shift works best in 3-4-5-6 and higher RPM. However at 67 Im in no hurry to get anywhere so I hardly use it. Having ridden for 51 years I tend to just use the clutch. Some people just need to accelerate through life I guess. 😀

Thanks, the stock seat is about a 300 mile seat for me so far so that's not to bad. I do like the look of the Bagster seat. Let is know how it performed for you

Thats just wrong, There have been quite a few bikes with helical cut gears., Example being newer FJR1300. BMW also has a few.

Ya it looks like dirt. But maybe he knew that.

Nice write up. I will have to check out those roads someday.
