It's small and looks better than my V Stream Touring. However, I think I'm going to go with function over form and go back to the V Stream. $60 shipped. PM Me. I'm interested but will it fit my 15, and it looks in good condition but is it fairly scratch free? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2linby Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Removed the Yamaha toaster oven and replaced with a Delkevic Exhaust. It's got a growl to it now! 7 1 Everything is simple, Nothing is easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice! I had a Delkevic exhaust on my 2006 FZ1. What size is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevinator Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 replaced the front tire today. i think it was the easiest tire change i have ever done! used the tire spoons to pop the bead, then remove the tire from the rim. little spray of soapy water and popped the new tire on and back on the bike. took less than an hour after finding a 14mm hex socket. oh, and i ordered what i think is the only rubber dampened 15 tooth jt sprocket left in the world for it. i only found the one and its coming from latvia. this is the part# if anyone is curious.

MemphisTracer Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 New LED turn signal/running lights for the front. Got them on Amazon for $18, spacers for $16, and TST industries plug converters for $12. Easy cheap mod. Next is Blaster-X integrated tail light and Motodynamic fender eliminator. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 1moreroad Posted May 22, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted May 22, 2022 Converted for a summer of commuting in the Deep South. Short windscreen, low position, and bar end weights instead of hand guards. Just in time for high temps to drop 15 degrees in a day and over 20 degrees in 3. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted May 22, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted May 22, 2022 It finally happened. Since buying the Multistrada in February the FJ-09 has just been collecting dust in the garage. I posted it for sale on FB marketplace Friday, and about 24 hours later the new owner was loading it up in his trailer. He's a nice younger guy from Olympia, WA and I strongly encouraged him to join this forum. It was truly bittersweet to see the FJ go. This was the best all around bike I've had in 30+ years of riding, and definitely the most reliable. I'm sure it will provide many more years of faithful service to the new owner. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like your new Multistrada is the best all around bike now. I'll admit I have some V4S jealousy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, so good at 3k miles. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FB groups are a shitshow, of course. I got called a wanker for stating I enjoy 1000+ mile days. But to be fair, the Tracer FB groups aren't much better. I'm still in search of a useful web forum. I joined one, but it is light on value. If you ask about the best exhaust, tires, or carbon fiber bits you'll get dozens of replies. But ask about where to install a Fuzeblock for electrical farkles and it's crickets. I hope everyone appreciates the uniqueness of this Tracer forum. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
