Clicknow Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hi, did I read somewhere that doing the above causes an error code to be displayed on dash? i want to run my Gt through the gears for a short time on the centre stand kind regards Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojjer Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) I'd not heard of this, but a quick Google of it came up with this on the Tenere 1200 forum: "I have a 2019 Tracer 900 GT and the same thing will happen. If the engine is idling with the bike on the centre stand the rear wheel turns even in neutral and that turns on the the engine light. Since 2017 this light can be turned off only with an OBD2 scanner with proper harness for Yamaha." Edited November 23, 2019 by tojjer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clicknow Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thanks for your reply, yes I read about this a while back so i think I will not chance it regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmark101 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 If you run it in gear on the center stand it will throw a code, and yes, only the dealer can clear the code on a 2019 GT. I had a code due to a blow fuse and it locked me out of the user menu and shut off the quick shifter. Clearing the code put things back to normal. 1 There is nothing like spending a day riding with friends in the grip of a shared obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Knees Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I have run mine, 18 tracer, in 1st gear on centre stand for easy lubing but was told by dealer it will throw a code. Seems i got away with it, but since dealer visit I will spin wheel by hand, no biggy. As said, only in gear issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more than idling in first gear, and even then I half-expected it to throw an error code. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebruv Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hi all I ran the bike through the gears whilst on the main stand, the fault code is in conjunction with running the engine in gear whilst the wheel does not drive the bike forward, the only way to correct the fault code is either a Yamaha dealer or having your own diagnostic tool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member piotrek Posted November 23, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Ran the bike in gear while on the centre stand a bunch of times. No fault codes. It will happen the next time I'm sure. Edited November 23, 2019 by piotrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperT Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Newer models will kick the MIL. I don’t recall exactly what year the change over happened, but guessing 2017 models. Bueller? -Skip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called to dealer and he confirmed it. I do not understand why it behaves like that. It looks like SW error, doesn't it? I used to use this way for chain maintenance (lubing) on my previous bikes without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the benefits of the 'old' '15-'16 models, very easy to clear the code. I run mine in gear on the center stand every single time I clean and lube the chain. If it ever throws a code all you have to do is ride it a short distance, when the wheels synchronize the code is gone, its that simple. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojmir Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 What about to switch off TCS, before run it in gear on central stand. Does anybody try it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because it's red. 😅 2 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 1moreroad Posted February 29, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted February 29, 2020 Does that mean if a Tracer got airborne it would throw a code and you couldn't use the quick shifter? Killjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
