Premium Member motopumps Posted March 17, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 17, 2019 Starting to clean up the look of the bike and make it my own. Removing the warning stickers and considering removing the goo and leaving Tracer GT. Starting a poll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted March 17, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted March 17, 2019 I wish they used a different font that didn’t look like goo. Maybe a graphics shop could make a decal and sell thousands of them. @Cruizin who is the graphics artist that made the forum website logo? ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 @racreative is working on shirts for my fz10 forum, and then he is gonna design some die cut stickers for us eventually. He is pretty busy in his day job right now. 1 Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted March 17, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted March 17, 2019 I would probably de-goo the Tracer if it were me, @motopumps. I think it would look cleaner with just the small GT subscript. Also, I find it amusing that Yamaha rounds 847cc up to 900... Honda called the 647cc Hawk an NT650, so why isn’t this a Tracer 850 GT? Admittedly, an FJ-08.5 would have been awkward, but you get the point. Enquiring minds want to know! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some places with ultra-strict consumer protection laws, this might be considered illegal under the 'misleading information' heading... But where does it end? 847 could become 850.. or 851... or 860. 1 Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia.

denveryzf Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I removed it from mine, as well as the blue graphics in front of the gas tank. I think it looks much nicer now, and the only thing I used was a hair dryer to heat them up a little. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 All 2018+ Tracer 900GT should be named Tracer 900 FRD ... "FRD"= forum research and development because we know Yamaha took notes on what people say/want 😆 2 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...

TracerDoc Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Ty for this post, I was just about to post similar question. I want to clean up the side panel and to remove actually the whole names tracer Gt everything. All can be done by just “hair dryer technique “ right. As in none of these things are under clear coat and stuff ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member motopumps Posted March 18, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 18, 2019 Correct. All of it is above the paint. Just use a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive. Leaving the bike in the sun before you start is a help as well. Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member runnerhiker Posted March 19, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 19, 2019 I voted for removing. It's not the 'goo', I generally don't like decals. 1 2019 Tracer 900 GT Niwot CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
