Hi everyone. Hi BlueSky! I am a relative newbie to this forum as I am to my newly acquired 2013 Gen 3 FJR. Excellent! Congrats! Any opinions on the bike running regular vs premium fuel? Yes. Bike calls for regular. Correct. Will premium have better performance? No. Any adverse...

Yeah, but look at the damage that garage floor did to the tire. No thanks.

I would love a shaft drive also, but the chain is hefty and requires little maintenance. Being that the bike has a centerstand, no biggie. Love the Tracer GT! Really a fun bike.

Cruise control is stock, but I appreciate the offer. Great bike! Having a blast. My son Trevor and I will take turns riding it to EOM on Friday.

Ray, Healing wishes sent your way. Speedy recovery please!

I needed a rear Powerlet socket for my heated gear on the new Tracer GT. Luckily Revzilla had one in stock at a 20% discount. It's all mounted up. I sure was happy to be able to get one.

I'll most likely be there. Not sure if I'm coming alone or not yet. I'll get a hotel room in any event. Always a good time and nice to see the Geeks!

Oakdave, I'd be curious of your experiences over the long term. Please post up here after you have another few thousand miles on her. I'll be following. Thanks for the input!

No, not without making some type of bracket. If you take off the rear peg, you lose the bracket for the side bags. I have a size 10 boot. The rear pegs don't interfere at all. A bigger sized boot probably would, but you would get used to it. Certainly wouldn't be a deal breaker.

This guy just did a 1048 mile day with the stock Tracer seat: https://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/yamaha/2019-yamaha-tracer-900-gt-first-long-ride-review.html

Right Fred. It's an updated FJ-09 with about a 2.5" extension of the swing arm and all the bells and whistles. It's not a heavy beast like the FJR, but I certainly wouldn't have any trouble touring on it. Riding 2 up for an extended trip would be pushing the weight limit of 395 pounds. I...

Yes it could be, but not for me. I'm keeping both. After riding the tracer today for about 100 miles, getting back on the FJR felt strange. More knee bend on the FJR for sure. More wind protection on the FJR. Of course I'd have to play with different wind screens on the Tracer. The FJR is...

I did. It was a golf outing to raise money for MS. I signed up for it a couple of months ago before I knew I was going to pull the trigger on the Tracer. I couldn't disappoint my playing partners by not showing up. I'm making up for it in spades today. Really fun bike. I love it!

I just bought a 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT this morning. After signing the paperwork, I had to go to a golf outing and just got home. I haven't ridden it yet. My son Trevor picked up the bike at the dealership around noon today and rode it for a couple of hours. All he can say is that it's a...

You never asked for a plug size in the past. LOL

OK, Who's buying a 2020 Harley-Davidson Pan America Adventure-Tourer? Not me.... https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2018/07/30/more-roads-to-harley-davidson-growth-plan-unveiled-adventure-streetfighter-custom/

I don't think the goal is to have all motorcycles be autonomous in the future. But if you think that's where we're headed, it would be the dumbest idea ever. In the future there will be robotic pods of some type running around to move people and things from place to place. Possibly someone...

From what I read in this post on another Forum, it sounds like your battery needs to be replaced. Possibly your battery connections at the terminals are loose. When is the last time you replaced it? This guy has the same symptoms as you're having: My 2009 AE won't start. When I turn the key...

Make sure the rear brake pedal isn't gummed up and not returning to the up position. Kickstand up of course also.
