Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted September 21, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted September 21, 2021 Very perti on your immaculate looking fastest red 15! Your tush will love it. How many miles on the ole girl (or boy)? I have the same Toro electric leaf blower albeit not as shiny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisTracer Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Thank you sir! She's got 1700 miles. I'm hoping there's a BIG difference in comfort. I don't find the stock seat that disagreeable, but after an hour I'm squirming all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping there's a BIG difference in comfort. I don't find the stock seat that disagreeable, but after an hour I'm squirming all over the place. Only 1700! Where'd you find it with such low miles (and for how much)? My well used but by no means anywhere near as high mileage as several other brothers 15 I bought new in July of 16. I took much of 19 off due to work though or it'd have another 12k likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersdark Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 God that red is outstanding. I wish I understood why Yamaha went from offering all those *fantastic* colorways on the FJ's to primarily bad to mediocre ones on the Tracer 900. The new gen 3 Tracer's at least have non-ugly color schemes, but they're not great either. Not like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersdark Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Took the Tracer out for a nice spin down some chilly mountain roads this evening. It's been neglected over the last while what with the Fun New Toy, and it was great to get a chance to stretch her legs. As much as I really love the T7, and how it's a quite competent highway/windy road bike, the Tracer seemed pretty eager to showcase just what it's good at. Always so nice to listen to that triple sing coming out of corners. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member piotrek Posted September 25, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Hand guards went on last night. Appreciated them in the morning. Changed the coolant today. It was good to see the old fluid come out clean blue. 👍 Edited September 26, 2021 by piotrek 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clegg78 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Change the oil (Motul 7100), Flushed the brakes with Motul DOT 5.1 after having some sluggish braking in cold weather (5.1 and DOT4 LV are both very good and low viscosity DOT4 compatible fluids, should make ABS work better as well), and cleaned /inspected the chain. 9000mi on the stock chain and no issues found so far.

It was much appreciated the next morning when it was 50 degrees instead of the predicted 60 and I had minimal layers on. Nice quiet air for commuting, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna swap my sport screen back for the stocker too, and have the winter tires going on right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely hate thick gloves, so I have high hopes for the Enduro Grip Mitts when mercury falls. With the grip heaters I should be able to ride out the season in some comfort. I will eventually wuss out... 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
