    All the gear but........

    Got it off Amazon. Still gotta play with it as it bounces a bit, but best option I’ve found. So much better to have the GPS above the dash https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-Tracer-Cockpit-Bracket-Ball/dp/B07GDG3PZF

    All the gear but........

    So after a month the panniers for my GT turned up at the dealer, a month later the brackets turned up too!, so only just got them on!! Now Tracy’s fully loaded with all the bits I took off my old one, only new addition is the RAM mount. So it’ll be as many trips to France this summer as I can...

    Locking mechanism for panniers

    JohnD, are these the yammy panniers?, the brackets for mine are on order (didn’t arrive with my new GT?). So if I get the same issue, how did you get them aligned?

    Does anyone have one of these?

    Did you ever get sorted with your RAM for 2018 GT? I just got this one from Amazon (bizarrely it was sent from Greece?) for my ˋ19 GT Just put it on last nite, fits well but. They supply longer metal Alan key screws to replace the plastic original screws that hold the screen in place. So I...

    Welcome too, the Akros aren't cheep, but if you're not happy with how yours sounds, it'll put a smile on your face.

    Hi from Stockport

    Classic 70's machines I don't know of anyone who regretted buying an MT09, hope the arm heals quick so you can enjoy it.

    New bike - Front wheel knocking, floating discs?

    It’s been diagnosed as ´pad slap´ , it’s the pads flopping about in the calipers. They’re right too, I can move the pads easily with my fingers, Just makes no sense to me that nobody else has this issue, anyway giving it back to them on the 600 mile service to sort it, better retaining...

    New bike - Front wheel knocking, floating discs?

    So just traded in my ´15 Tracer for a ´19 Tracer GT (yeah sorry for pushing into the mainstream forum). Getting an obvious thud or knock from the front wheel when mounting a curb or braking at low speeds. Pretty sure it’s the floating discs, as it’s similar to what happened on my old FZ1. But...

    Side Panniers.....

    Probably not much help but I had the below Yammy ‘bars’ for my soft panniers on my ‘15 Tracer and worked well. Just sold that and got the GT with panniers, but still waiting for them to arrive

    I just got my 2nd Tracer and lovin it. Had one the first ´15 before and traded it for the new GT and I’m made up. The dealer took the akro, engine sliders, reservoir cover, tank bag bracket, rad cover and led indicators off my old one and put em all the new one. More comfy, better suspension...
