TxAg15 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Man that Tracer 900 GT is cool. All the features I've been waiting to see on the FJ. Time to start saving and hope that it comes to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koth442 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Okay, Yamaha just announced a fully redesigned Tracer 900 for 2018 at EICMA. There are two models: Tracer 900 GT - Slight fairing redesign, narrower handlebar, updated ergos, new swingarm, full color TFT instruments, fully adjustable suspension, standard quick shifter standard heated grips, and... wait for it... CRUISE CONTROL. Tracer 900 - same as above sans heated grips, no cruise, same crappy windshield as today. Yes!! I for see fork swaps becoming a popular mod.

sodapop Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'm glad to see all the improvements on the GT. I hope they sell a boatload. EDIT: Check out the windshield attachment bolt pattern. Looks like they widened it to make it stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhs10 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Not going to lie.. it's got me thinking about an '18... '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 i have a feeling all them 2015-2016 FJ'09 still in the Warehouses will be a cheap alternative to the new Tracer and GT 900s... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forks on the GT are probably going to have rebound on one leg and compression on the other and you will still need the proper weight springs. Instead of waiting for the '19 model, you could have @pattonme build you a set of cartridges to swap out. Compression and rebound in both legs, custom configured for YOU including springs and shipping for about $500. BARGAIN!! ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 should rename the original FJ-09 and the MT-09 tracer to FRD-09 for Forum Research and Development -09 ? 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say $7500+tags/title, add a saddle of your choice, and $1000 in suspension and you'll be WAY under the new price of the GT and have worlds better suspension to boot. Bars are like $40. There are all kinds of windshield solutions already. All the '19 has is the FZ09's 2017 forks which ain't all that great. If you want the same 'cr@p' OE suspension today that the '19 will have I can do that for you for $300. The 14-17 FJ already has all the parts except the fork cap which can be had for $130 give or take. Or for $400 you could have a set of forks that will spank anything that comes from the factory.

slt Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Interesting, so no 2018 FJ-09. Then in 2019 it gets replaced by the Tracer 900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member bugsplatered Posted November 7, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted November 7, 2017 Interesting, so no 2018 FJ-09. Then in 2019 it gets replaced by the Tracer 900. I think the Tracer 900 will be available March 2018, the Tracer 900 GT June or July 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddg282 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Read somewhere that it will be changed to the MT-09, like Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
