vijay Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Congrats on joining the Asylum! Lot's of knowledge to absorb and compare. I think you'll like your new Tracer. I bought mine 3 odd weeks ago and have already put on about 1600 miles on it. And that's with losing a week while I had the seat modified at a local shop. It seems to be more fun everytime I ride it. And as i slowly, because I am a suspension disaster, get the suspension dialled in it's becoming even more enjoyable. And if you are in the Garage or a even small gravel roads and single-track; pushing, walking, moving, and modifying this 460lb (approx 208kg) wet motorcycle is a breeze. BTW, while I really liked the Tiger 800, it was to me generally more sedate than what this CAN be when you decide to "hooligan" a bit. Enjoy. Vijay ..

mak595 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 i did like my tiger but being the XC with longer travel suspension and 21" wheel it was a bit vague at higher speeds, been riding sportbikes on road and track for years, so wes riding the tiger like a sportbike, hopfully the tracer will be abit more suited to me!! probably look at suspension tweets/mods etc...

I'm going to see a suspension guy next week. At least get this tweaked until I can truly get it upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mak595 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'm probably be looking at stronger fork springs and look into a zx6/10/busa shock once I've read up a bit more, gonna be on a budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member martyl Posted July 11, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted July 11, 2017 Welcome. Lots of ways to spend money on stuff for this bike. IMHO the least expense and very functional accessory were mirror extenders. Made a big difference in rear viewing. A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road....
