tracertr Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 and new features... sound goods... Advanced electronic controls For effective operation in different conditions, you can select any one of the three D-MODE running modes. The 3-mode Traction Control System (TCS) gives added confidence on slippery surfaces, while the ABS prevents accidental wheel lock up when braking. And with the wiring already in place, it's easy to fit an optional Quick Shifter System. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member bugsplatered Posted September 28, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted September 28, 2016 Today Yamaha has added to their European site the MT 09 Tracer "Assist and Slipper (A&S) clutch". https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/eu/products/motorcycles/sport-touring/tracer-900.aspx?view=featurestechspecs Also on the green Tracer there is something on the left side of the handlebar that I cannot find in the "Features" section.

Yup, it's that. --- I think the silver under seat panels on the blue bike don't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaylor38 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'm new here so sorry if i'm missing something! I've just bought a new Tracer, new to Yams! I noticed on the EU site (im in the UK) that one of the features on the 2017 Tracer is the wiring already there for a quickshifter, so it just plugs in. The 2016 bikes haven't got this have they? Would be ace if they did! "...And with the wiring already in place, it's easy to fit an optional Quick Shifter System." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be ace if they did! "...And with the wiring already in place, it's easy to fit an optional Quick Shifter System." There are already aftermarket quick shifters for the FZ/FJ/MT-09 that just plug into wiring harnesses that talk to the ECU - so yes our bikes probably will support it (unless Yamaha came up with a completely new connector for it). However, this must be accompanied by corresponding support in the ECU. So you'd probably need an ECU flash, making it not quite so plug-and-play.

So its not that much different then, not a game changer. So do we know where this plug is? Would be nice to have a QS. ECU reflash is also on the cards anyway . Cheers.

santacruz Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 On the uk website the bikes name has changed from mt 09 tracer, to tracer 900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesweetz Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 On the uk website the bikes name has changed from mt 09 tracer, to tracer 900. They did that when the Tracer 700 came out. I guess they're kind of building Tracer into a sub-brand like Kawaski did with Versys. The Tracer branding is weird to me. It doesn't seem like a particularly cool word and I have no clue what it's supposed to mean in the context. As cheesy as those commercials are, they have some incredibly nice rolling shots.

timg Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 there is rarely any logic in any of the names chosen from European languages by Japanese makers - Mitsubishi chose Pajero (Spanish for wanker) for a 4x4... The Mitsubishi Pajero (/pəˈdʒɛroʊ/; Spanish: [paˈxeɾo]; Japanese パジェロ [padʑeɽo]) is a sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi. It was named after Leopardus pajeros, the Pampas cat, which is native to the Patagonia plateau region of southern Argentina. Sometimes if we go beyond slang we find the real meaning of a word.
