Hi. EeeTea here - I've got a major oil leak from this output shaft so looking around for answers and came across this thread. My MT-09 Tracer has done 10.5k miles, I got back from a ride today and the rear tyre is doused in oil all up the pannier and all around the RH casing. The oil was...

Different clutch too I think

Leverage DATE: 21st December 2016 MILEAGE: 6325 Christmas comes early in the EeeTea house. What did Santa bring? New levers! If you read earlier, I did a clutch modification to make the whole thing smoother and lighter - and with great success. However, the reach to work the stock lever...

Screen Adjust On the subject of screen adjustment, some while back I modified the adjuster knobs - again this is another crap aspect of the Tracer...Yamaha could have spend an extra 10p to get an adjuster that doesn't work lose and rattle. However, once the screen is set up I'm not one to...

Screen, Screen, Screeeen when I want yooou.... DATE: 19th December 2016 MILEAGE: 6295 There once was a thread on screens started by Griff1971 which I read with interest ...see here: Linky Linky I like the angular look of the Tracer - of course I appreciate that looks become very...

Hi Cippy. No problem... In fact I've done a further mod that I still have to catch up on. I still had issues with the span/ergonomics of the cheap lever. I've got reasonably big hands XXL / size 12 gloves and still struggling with comfort for distance ...so I changed levers this last week...

This is an excerpt out my EeeTea's Tracer Blog (located in "The Bar" on this forum) , but thought it might be useful to post here too, under modifications, in case someone else is looking for a solution... I absolutely love this Tracer, I've really bonded with it. The only other bike I loved...

MODIFICATION for a HEAVY!!!! CLUTCH I absolutely love this Tracer, I've really bonded with it. The only other bike I loved as much was my TDM900, and possibly the KTM (but that now comes third). HOWEVER. The clutch is heavy. Really heavy. Now its okay for the first hundred miles, but I...

2nd Service DATE: 29 Oct 2016 MILEAGE: 6158 Serviced at Orwell Motorcycles in Ipswich. I'm always very impressed with Orwell, they are competent and as helpful as you could ever wish. Highly recommended from me. A point of possible interest to others. Unlike TK Cope who did the first...

Tired DATE: 23 Sep 2016 MILEAGE: 5175 Over the course of the 5000 miles I've had two punctures. When you consider that I've only ever had couple in the last 50,000 miles, it doesn't say a lot for the OEM Dunlops fitted. They were okay tyres but, not fantastic. Because puncture one was...

Navigation For those what read the thread by "thegoat" about tyres , I burbled a bit on there about navigating by Dead-Reckoning. This is what I wrote: So you will see my Navigation set up on the bike here. Compass mounting was problematic as there is so much electro-magnetic interference...

~ ~ ~ ~ FLASH BACK!!!! ~ ~ ~ ~ Something I didn't mention and may be a tip passing on for anyone that doesn't know: I had an old hard drive kicking about, so I butcherised it and nicked the magnets. I don't know if you've ever played with those but they are absolutely awesome rare-earth...

Next up was some luggage. Originally I bought just the SHAD SH48 top box and mounting kit, and fitted this. Whilst that was great - somewhere extra to leave a set of waterproofs, extra sweater etc would be good. BUT, I didn't want the bike too wide, because of filtering. I settled on...

LOL - yeah. Be warned. This site automatically adds hyperlinks to stuff. But yeah, I think I'd look great in those :p

Water Features Around the same time, and on the subject of using rubber protection, I had a concern for all the crap chucked up by the rear wheel and landing all over the suspension linkages. Not good, and not easy to clean. So I've come up with a solution. POND LINER Yes. okay. so I do...
