foxtrot722 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Does anyone happen to know if an aftermarket luggage rack for a 2015 FJ 09 will fit a 2019 Tracer 900 GT. Saw what might be a good buy on a GT and would like to reuse the luggage rack and top case. Thanks 1970 DT-250 / 1972 250MX / 1973 360MX / 1974 250MX & 1974 CZ 400 Red Frame & SC 500 / 1978 YZ 250 / 1979 YZ250 / (2) 1980 YZ 250 / 1986 YZ 490 / 1989 YZ250 WR / 1994 YZ 250 / (2) 2002 YZ 426 / 2007 YZ 450 / 2007 DR 650, 2015 FJ 09 / 2020 YZ 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfisher Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 What rack do you have? I installed a SW Motech rack for the 2015 FJ 09 on my GT 900; it bolted up ok, but required some trimming of the plastic trim to fit where the front bracket attaches.

Morning all, thanks for the information, it is an 2015-2016 Yamaha FJ-09 SW Motech Rear Rack 1970 DT-250 / 1972 250MX / 1973 360MX / 1974 250MX & 1974 CZ 400 Red Frame & SC 500 / 1978 YZ 250 / 1979 YZ250 / (2) 1980 YZ 250 / 1986 YZ 490 / 1989 YZ250 WR / 1994 YZ 250 / (2) 2002 YZ 426 / 2007 YZ 450 / 2007 DR 650, 2015 FJ 09 / 2020 YZ 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) It will work then. Where the front tabs enter from the sides under the seat, the plastic trim will have to be trimmed, since the angled entry holes for the GT rear grab handles enter at an angle. I just used a Dremel with a rotary bit to trim. It does make the opening larger, but it looks ok to me. The other issue mine had though, was that the back of the Corbin seat contacted the front edge of the rack platform, so I had to grind material from the front edge of the platform. I then cut a short section of fuel line hose lengthwise, and covered the grinded edge with the tubing section with a little black RTV sealant to hold it in place. Looks pretty good to me. So, in summary, the rack attaches fine, but requires a little modification. Edited February 20, 2020 by kingfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information, Did you move from a JF 09 to the 900 GT? Is so, was it worth it? I have added heaters grips to my FJ. It has about 12K Miles 1970 DT-250 / 1972 250MX / 1973 360MX / 1974 250MX & 1974 CZ 400 Red Frame & SC 500 / 1978 YZ 250 / 1979 YZ250 / (2) 1980 YZ 250 / 1986 YZ 490 / 1989 YZ250 WR / 1994 YZ 250 / (2) 2002 YZ 426 / 2007 YZ 450 / 2007 DR 650, 2015 FJ 09 / 2020 YZ 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 This is a better shot. I really liked my FJ 09's (had two of them,) but like the GT 900 a lot more. More refined, but still just as much raw power as the FJ. Less wheelie prone and more stable at speed with the longer swingarm, and the cruise control, tft gauge, etc, is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Also, as you can see, no trimming of the front of the rack platform was needed with the stock seat. That was done later after adding the Corbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patch Kit Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 King, do you think they would be reverse compatible? I have a 2015 and would like to put the rear rack for the 2019 Tracer on it.

kingfisher Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 It might, the basic bolt holes line up the same. Don’t know about the bodywork though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patch Kit, I know this is an old thread, but I'm in the same situation. I really like the form of the later style rack. Can you let me know if you went ahead and installed the later one piece rack on your 2015 bike? Was it just a matter of cutting some of the plastic trim? Cheers.
