catteeclan Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hi all. Had a test ride yesterday and I'm pretty taken with the new Tracer GT. Loved the engine, dash and riding position seemed to fit me nicely. Still get some buzzing through the footpegs, bit more wind buffering and what the hell were they thinking with the ignition switch? Thinking of trading my super ten as it's bloody heavy moving it around the garden to get it in the shed but love it while riding. Be interested to see what mods you've done so off for a look see.

BBB Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 welcome to the forum @catteeclan. I think you’ll enjoy the Tracer if you decide to get one ?? Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlin01 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Welcome catteeclan, whereabouts in the UK are you? Glad you are taken with the GT, you seem to have pinpointed the same gripes as almost everyone else Not done too many mods to mine yet, fitted front and rear fender extenders and a larger screen (which is untested as of yet), but not planning anything else as I'm happy with it otherwise.

Other than that I am very happy with me economy sport tourer. He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennydies Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 My PUIG touring screen turned up today so need to install it asap. I agree with the ignition switch. I would have like to swap some of the functality of the hard switches between the soft ones. E.g I rarely change the engine modes or traction control. I do often scroll through the ODO and the headed grip options so would have liked hard switches for them on the left hand bar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I have the Puig touring screen with a little aerofoil/lip/spolier clipped on the top edge. Its the best screen I’ve found so far for noise and wind/rain protection, but looks ugly with it being so damn huge. I only use it for winter riding so only put it back on yesterday.

kennydies Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I installed the screen and it doesn't look that bad actaully. Will try and get a picture later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlin01 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Here's mine, loving the Puig screen, even at 92 mph (on a private road) there was no wind buffeting and very, very, little wind noise, I could ride with my visor open no problem at all. The difference is also very noticeable when reviewing the camera footage, I can now hear the bike's engine and myself talking, previously with the OEM screen all I gt was wind noise! Very happy with the Puig. [/img] Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennydies Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Do you have the screen at the highest setting and do you have the spoiler on the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennydies Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Same screen as mine then (9726h). I am 6 foot and find it so much better than the stock screen. Just winterfying my bike at the mo. Fitted the screen last week. Fitted side LED's to the crash bars on saturday. Adding my heated gloves and spot lights this weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennydies, can you please do a review once you've used it a few times? It has been discussed on other threads on the forum but the recommended weight limit is only 200g (from memory) so I've steered clear as the TomTom is 420g without mount etc. So I'd be really interested to know whether you find it ok in use.
