MemphisTracer Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Thanks for allowing me to join. I just picked up my brand new "leftover" 2015 FJ-09 candy red with zero miles last weekend. I was able to get a great price on it. Originally had my sites on a '19 Tracer or Tracer GT. Very happy with the FJ. Looking forward to warmer temps. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted December 12, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted December 12, 2019 @MemphisTracer - Welcome aboard. Good looking bike, I have the Red '15 as well. 👍 Pretty much all of the bikes quirks and or short comings have been identified and this forum is a wealth of information offering solutions or options to address any concerns you may encounter. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and if you are looking to upgrade any components, there are many here more than happy to help you spend your money. 😎 If you do nothing else to the bike, I would suggest at least getting a radiator guard. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Welcome to the forum @MemphisTracer. Fine looking machine (of course I may be slightly biased). Have a look through the forum for immediate and easy things to add/change. Rad guard for example. 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

Any suggestions for which brand radiator guard? Evotech? R&G? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many that will get the job done, personal preference I suppose. A few attach with zip ties, personally I would avoid those. I bought the guard from Cosmo Radiator Guard HoneyComp 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy with the FJ. Looking forward to warmer temps. I did the same thing last fall - left over 2015 with no miles - $6700 out the door. However, you will need that savings to pay for all the stuff you didn't know you needed until you bought this fine machine. I think I may have doubled the cost of mine getting it to where my OCD mind says it should be.

Premium Member 1moreroad Posted December 12, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted December 12, 2019 Welcome. Where did you pick up the bike? I live down in north Mississippi. Let me know the next time you're heading to AR, and I'll do the same. There are also 1 or 2 folks who live in Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking at loads of mods every day! You can easily bring it up to Tracer GT spec. except for the TFT screen. Mine has been upgraded with everything except a quick shifter. The one area that you probably wont need any mods is the engine, the linear torque curve on this thing is intoxicating. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they both received much of my paychecks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top of the line suspension and a custom dyno tune, I loved that bike! Unfortunately I hit a deer and totaled it. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
