Thank you in advance Richard It looks like it doesn't - the tracer has a longer swingarm. If some one knows this to be correct or incorrect, please comment -thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperT Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Richard, the longer swingarm length was only on GT models I believe. So if the shock comes from a non-GT model then Yes, it will bolt right up. hth, skip 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckie Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Partzilla shows the 19 non gt and gt using the same swingarm. Also, partszillia shows the 15 fj 09 shock will fit on the 2019 non gt tracer. So, the real question is the shock length. Is it different between the 19 non gt and the gt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted October 27, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted October 27, 2023 Just curious, if you are wanting to upgrade the shock, why are you considering a Tracer shock? The only difference I can think of between an FJ shock and a Tracer shock is the remote preload adjuster, the spring and damping will be just as basic between the two. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZVFR Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 From my past research, I think the only difference is the later shock has a slightly stiffer spring to accommodate the longer swingarm, length is the same. Not much point in changing a crap shock with another crap shock. Also keep in mind that Yamaha has built the Tracer shock upside down, so any other shock will be really hard to adjust without a remote adjuster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
