Maybe I missed something but which year does it most closely resemble and have parts? I have had both the FJ and now tracer (USA). Not sure that a slight difference in year would matter would be my thought. Only two options. But let’s see a pic of the unicorn please.  

For the most part I'm just going to pretend it's a 2019 when shopping online. What confused/scared me was that 1 review of the windscreen claiming the fitting was different for the 2018 vs the 2019. That made me say "oh crap!" to myself, as I'd ordered a bunch of stuff for it already. 

But I think the guy on the windscreen didn't buy the mounting kit, so he couldn't fit it and assumed it was a model year difference. At least, that's what I'm hoping for!

If you need a brand new SW-Motech rear pannier rack... let me know :). Congrats on the bike. You're going to love it. 

Right now I need... well... almost everything! LOL I'll send you a DM.

Just order parts for 2019 tracer GT. 

That’s what I’m doing. I was just worried because one review of a windscreen said it didn’t fit the 2019, only the 2018.

I'm in PA, USA but my son Lives in Edmonton, AB. Love going to the Jazz club up there when we visit. Not uncommon for a model to be released in one country and not another.  Enjoy the ride.

Interesting. My family is from Lancaster county in PA. They moved here in the 40's, and a few moved back to PA in the 70's. I've been to PA a few times to visit; nice country. 

Look me up if you're ever coming for a visit. You'll know what bike I'll be arriving on... 

So I’m going with this...

1. the 2018 and 2019 are identical. (Hopefully)

2. The person with the negative review didn’t buy the mounting kit for that particular windshield which is why he couldn’t fit it.

ive ordered a new windscreen and mirror. Fingers crossed.

Maybe it was a 2019 model manufactured in 2018?

I wondered that. But the VIN says it’s a 2018 model. I did some digging, in Canada there was a 2018 Tracer. Not in the USA.

Where are you located?

Edmonton, AB

Hi all. I just bought a 2018 Tracer 900. As in just bought, I mean last night. It has a damaged windscreen and a cracked lefthand mirror. 

Hitting Fortnine and other sites, I've encountered an interesting phenomenon. None of them have the Tracer 900 listed in the 2018 Yamaha lineup.There's

I confirmed via the VIN that it's a 2018.

Then I thought the previous owner threw some Tracer stickers onto a FJ-09. Nope, there's no FJ-09 on the sites in the 2018 lineup and my manual is for a 2018 Tracer 900. 

How do I order parts for this bike? Do I just use a 2019? I figured that would be easier, but then... in the comments under 1 of the windscreens someone said "fits the 2018 Tracer not the 2019 Tracer". Well damn! Now I'm scared to use a 2019 as the same bike.

Has anyone else encountered this? Suggestions? Wisdom?
