Part 2 Home made cooler protection, the net is changeable. Like it red at the moment. Ahh, the screens. Wanted a dark wide and small screen. So a Puig Touring screen was purchased and slaughtered. I cut it down to the size I wanted. Next up. Wanted a bigger and wider screen...

Sorry for not posting, been busy. I like the handling of the Tracer and got used to the little different standing up position so all is to the better. I have done about 20 mods to the bike. Here are some of them. Have fun. :) Part 1. Homemade tailtidy with the original parts used...

A pic of the bracket before paint. Next up to build is a radiator guard. Heres the material.

Test mounted the home made bracket and it all fitted. I like it much better this way. :)

Thanks, I will do that about 3 months ahead. Have not ridden it yet and wont do that until early spring. Something to look forward too, life gets so much brighter. I have been thinking of mods to do, have 24 things on a list to do with it. Don´t know if all will be done but a lot of them will...

The used one was like new, I bought it. :) Now I have the whole Winter to mod it, there is a lot to do.

I have decided to buy the Tracer. Been dealing with my local dealer about a new (old) 2015. 9570 euro. Or a used 2015 one (private market) that has 4500 km´s on the Clock, equipped with the expensive Accra from Yamaha and the soft side bags for 8064 euro. I Think I will go for the used one.

Still, if I take the lowest values from the posted fuel consumptions, make an average on that and cut off 10% I get 235 miles on a 4.8 gallon tank (376 km), thats very good. Sounds as a bike that can have a low fuel consumption regarding how you handle the throttle offcourse. Thats good for...

Yes, found the thread. Thats very good numbers, almost to good. I thought the FZ07 had the best fuelconsumption of the 2 bikes. Taking an average of those who has posted their numbers gives 56,8 mpg. thats 272 miles or 436 km on a tank. I get it they just read the numbers on the panel and not...

Forgot to ask, what are your fuel consumption? Thanks

I really like the Tracer so far. The look and how it behaved on the road. Will do some more investigation on the little stuff before I make my mind up though. Most likely this is a buy. Thanks for the input.

Yeah, that position on the pegs looks the same as on your K1300S. But it got to be difficult standing straight on yours, it´s almost a position like on a racebike. My dealer seemes to have closed the business for a couple of Days, all the staff is in Milano of some reason. :mad: Have to wait...

Yes that one is known by me too. Very good site by the way. Thanks, the issue is more clear comparing the bikes here. My concern is that the pegs are maybe to far back/up creating a feeling that the foot wants to fall off the peg. This is the very nice position the S10 offers. This is...

I recognize that struggle. :) Once in the Alps fully loaded I parked a Little downhill far away from cars, had learned my lesson. Explored some by foot and when I returned to the bike there was cars parked on each side. :mad: Had to ask for help to pull it back, again. When I later dropped it...

Yeah, the ST is a great bike but the weight did not suit me. So you are not standing up riding very much on the Tracer or ST? That handguards is getting off and then you can have some more options getting a customized wider screen. Had nothing to complain on with the levers. But picking the...
