iceman63 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hello all, I haven't purchased a Tracer GT yet. But I'm very interested. So I'm researching as much as I can. I currently ride an 02' FZ1 that I've put over 100,000 miles on. She's been utterly reliable, never a breakdown, carried me across many state lines. She's not going anywhere, I'll be keeping her. I think it would be quite difficult to sell with that kind of mileage anyway. I perform most all of my own maintenance as well. So ease(or difficulty) of maintenance is important to me as well as reliability. Anyway, after sixteen years with the same bike, I'd like to have something new to ride. But one thing that's scaring me away is reading the older FJ09 threads, I'm seeing some issue with the valves going tight early. Does anyone know if Yamaha has addressed this on the newer models, or is it still ongoing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member duhg Posted November 3, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hey iceman, welcome. [span] [/span]I have no answer for the valve question. What part of VA are you from? I've ridden quite a bit around the southwest region of the state. https://ridemsta.com/oh-tmr/ Riding makes me happy.

iceman63 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi duhg, I'm in the Richmond area. I prefer to ride in the mountains when I can. I wanted to get over to the southwestern part of the state this past summer, but never made it. I haven't ridden that area in years really. Wanted to stay over near Wytheville.
