How did you manage to keep a round front wheel and yet crack the triple tree? 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

Just curious.... I don't see any skid marks on that road section. Did you manage to brake at all before impact??? Did ABS activate???

Supporting Member piotrek Posted April 28, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted April 28, 2020 Just now, mingo said: I see. What do you gain by eliminating the O2 sensor? Part of ECU re-flash to improve throttle response and performance in general. This was a worthy mod on 2015-2016 bikes with throttle response issues. Not sure that would be necessary on the GT for that particular reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted April 28, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted April 28, 2020 I installed a dual USB charger with LED voltmeter. I spliced into the switched auxiliary 12v power leads behind the screen so it is always on with the ignition. I got fed up with the POS 12v cigarette lighter outlet, I have already replaced it once and the 2nd one is now working intermittently, it has never been used in the rain and always has the rubber cap on yet still corrodes on the inside. 3 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bar mounted USB will be much more useful 👍. I use mine all the time when touring... will even sometimes tether my Cardo to it directly from my helmet as I ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersdark Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Swapped my winter tires out for a nice, brand new pair of Road 5's, then went for a nice 3 hour ride to break em in. I love new tires, so much. That first ride on brand new tires always feels so good 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
