Thanks for taking the time to write your trip up, the pictures brought a lot of memories back too. I have done a lot of the territory you covered but not all of it. I'll take notes for my next time out there. I thought it was pretty lame of the shop to have sold your tires out from under you before you got there...

Changed Fuses and now the check engine light is on
Cogswell replied to exstowner's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Which two fuses blew ? I can understand the lighting circuit fuse blowing. Which hot wire did you short to ground ? -
State Trooper in California pulled me over.......
Cogswell replied to DavidS's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
It's not worth the effort to worry about. He probably thought you were just some young hot shot that would try to run from him. Go for a ride, stop to have some pie and coffee. -
Shipping question
Cogswell replied to Craig in Alabama's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
If shipping UPS always be sure to go to the UPS terminal to ship. Never go to "The UPS Store", their shipping will be about 30% more. -
Put your GPS wires into the plug and turn the key on.

Undo the clip and don't loose the split rubber spacer grommet.

HD makes a great touring machine, I enjoyed the Road King I had before I bought my Tracer. Best part is dealer network while traveling if you do happen to need something.

When do we expect news of 2023 models?
Cogswell replied to Bimbim18's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Yamaha made quite a few significant changes to this year model bike. I suspect they won't do a whole lot for next years bike save for some different color choices. But I have been wrong before ! -
Thinking of selling to buy a Tenere 700

Thinking of selling to buy a Tenere 700
Cogswell replied to Buggy Nate's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I was in a dealer in Asheville N.C. last weekend and looked at the T7 they had on the floor. If one was leaning toward a lot more off road type riding it looked like it would fit the bill well. It was just too minimalist for my current riding style. Tall and narrow seat doesn't look like it would be comfortable for hours on end riding. Not much wind or weather protection as well. -

Help with trade-in asking price
Cogswell replied to ShedMoto's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I got a quote from those guys when selling my Harley last year, it was absurdly low. I sold it to a Harley dealer for $4K more than the Rumble on offer. It may not be the same for all manufacturers... -
Help with trade-in asking price
Cogswell replied to ShedMoto's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I'll second the mention of removing and selling the extras separately. As far as trade value, you would best served to just figure out what you would settle on for the trade difference. That's the only number you should be concerned with, "your out the door price" They can play games with all the numbers they want to regarding fees etc. Just figure out what you're comfortable with as trade difference and go from there. -
You could drill the head off of it leaving the rest behind. You would be able to remove the panel at that point.

Drill out the rivets if the hinge pin is not removable. -
Setting Sag-- Why Bother?
Cogswell replied to nhchris's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
Sag is the baseline setting with your particular weight on the bike. Easier to reach your desired outcome with a known quantity than just poking in the dark blind so to speak. Preload setting will vary according to total suspension travel, you typically want about 30%
