bike

Sold my SuperTenere a while ago, very nice bike but to heavy for me. If it had come in 65 kg less I would have kept it. I wish they had made the Tracer as a lighter XT850Z instead. :) Started out looking for a lighter bike and my thoughts went for FZ8 and MT09. But then I spotted the Tracer. I...

hello everybody , I know that there are millions of these floating about and some people probably think that the standard exhausts are wank but I have one that I want to give away because I need the space , it is as new , took off the bike before it was ever started , I might be able to deliver...

I know, I know; more stuff on flashing, sorry. I searched all over the forum but couldn't find answers to the below, so would appreciate some advice. A few questions on the various options I can choose for an ECU flash - what do they mean and why would I want it done? 1. Disable AIS valve: I...

I have tried the search facility but did not find an answer, could be using it wrong but has anyone fitted wing mirror extenders. These mirrors have to be up there with the worst I have had on any bike I have owned. Been looking on ebay and spotted a few, anyone recommend a product. I am tired...

Hi Finally I got my MT-09 this morning. I bought the bike from a non franchised dealer two weeks ago. She is a 2013 model but only had 875 kms on the clock. I asked him if there were any outstanding recalls that had not been done. They sent the chassis number to Yamaha Spain and turned out there...

Hey Guys, I've been lurking around here for a while now, gathering information on the Tracer to help in my decision making process. Have to thank you for the amount of info.....didn't answer all my questions, but gave me enough to make an informed decision. I've been riding for over 8 years...

Nothing fancy but got a few bits and pieces to fit when I finally get my bike. This has to be the longest two weeks in my life. Hopefully I collect the bike on Friday. So thanks to ebay, have got the following to fit. Puig Screen (Black) Puig crash bungs, Pyramid fender extender & Hugger...

Another newbie here from SW London. Got my new bike on Friday a Grey Tracer and haven't been able to ride it yet :( so will commute on it tomorrow morning. This is going to be such a change from my previous bike, KTM Duke 690R.

Just had a phone call from the dealer I bought the bike from. I was supposed to collect it on Thursday(tomorrow) The dealer is multi franchise outlet. I knew the early MT-09's had a fuelling issue so I asked if this bike had had the ECU? updated as there had been a Yamaha recall. The dealer sent...

I have a VFR VTEC with an LSL top yoke and high bars thinking it would be more comfortable than it is. I recently bought a K1300s and found it very comfortable. But it is an expensive bike to have go wrong. I have always liked the idea of the Yam tripple engine so am looking at ways of lowering...

Hi, So I'm likely going to need to commute and putting my mint MT09 up for sale or swap. The bike has 1400ish miles, might go up a bit as I still ride the bike on occasion. The bike is garaged and rarely ridden in the rain as its mainly a weekend toy. This is a 2015 model ABS bike fitted with...

hi, im sorry if this has been asked before so ive bought a new mt09 and fitted the free acki exhaust and dealer says bike dosnt need mixture resetting but read on some sites/post where folks have adjusted mixture after fitting said exhaust so does bike need mixture resetting or not ? many thanks...

Hello all, I don't know about the rest of you on here but my Tracer is a brilliant bike but the brake feel less bitey/beefy then i'd prefer. My first thought was that I might have a go a refreshing the fluid in the brakes as this has helped previous bikes I've owned, its looking a bit dark -...

My Tracer is 3 months old and I've done 2,000 miles. Cruising down the motorway last week, the left hand handlebar end bolt and spacer flew off, leaving the hand guard flapping in the wind. Luckily my dealer here in the UK is excellent (Peter Hammond in Cirencester) and he replaced it...

Greetings all. Just joined the forum as in the market for another bike & the tracer is on my short list. Got a Tiger 800 at the mo' Had a test ride on a tracer yesterday and it has a lot of good points. Tried std & A modes and could feel the difference. Engine is very good & pulls more like an...

Hi guys and gals, Finally got my new covers fitted onto my bike and don't plan on keeping the old ones. Not sure if they'll come in handy for someone else. I have a clutch and oil pump cover for sale on eBay if anyone is interested or knows someone that wants them. I had them both on the...

I bought the bike new from Yamaha Podgorica (Montenegro), MT09 Tracer. Love the bike. Had first Service at 1000km, now at only 2600km clutch cable snapped !!! I am not a maniac rider as have been keeping bike from new below 5000rpm until run in. Am I seriously unlucky or has anyone else had...

Hi everyone, 1st post - just bought an ex demo Tracer (800 miles) as my everyday bike which I'll be doing about 10k year a year on. First impressions are really good but early days. Bike came with a few factory extra's but I'm just starting to think about getting it right for me. I will be...
