That is scary. I say it needs to go to the Yamaha dealer to get looked at. You can't have that happen again, next time might not be so lucky. I had it happen on a FI 4 stroke dirt bike, the rerun cable from the throttle to the throttle body was getting stuck in the cable housing. I pulled the...

Thanks but not interested in buying a bolt on accessory to tie it down. Surely someone here has had to tie the bike down to get it to a dealer after a fault, for freight/transport etc??? Any help at all?

Bump. So has anyone ever tied one down ?

As suggested, no it does not have linked brakes. However both of the hydraulic systems for the breaks would run back to the ABS controller/reservoir.

Having owned many bikes I have a good idea of how to properly tie a bike down onto a trailer or ute/pickup truck. Usually on a dirt bike I strap through both handle bars. On a bigger bike like most road bikes I strap through the triple clamps. Recently I was thinking about driving the bike...

Thanks mate. We're there any other recalls or defects I can get sorted while I'm there?

Rubbing/clattering yes. It makes the noise even when the vehicle is not moving so it is not the drive chain. I've had singles, twins, triples and fours.

Definitely wouldn't describe it as a whine and the motor isn't laboring when the noise was around. To be more specific it sounded like the cam chain rubbing lightly on something and was loudest right about the CCT area. What has it sounded like to others who have had the issue? Also not being...

As with the others I agree that avoiding downshifting to first on this bike unless at a near standstill. Of course up shifting is a different thing and need to be going much faster. This bike has enough torque and power to slip the clutch in second to help raise the revs, and is probably less...

Hi Guys and Girls, I'm new to to this forum but have just got up to speed on the Tracer threads by skim reading a fair few posts. I've only had a new old stock 2015 Tracer a few weeks but have already done 1500km over mostly 'sporty' (max from 6,000 to <10,000 rpm) country riding in the Hunter...
