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...

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...

Not been on the forum for ages but had to put it out there. Had my Tracer just shy of 4 years and love it, served me proud and been over Europe with it. Added an akro, tank bag mount, rad guard, some engine case protectors, led indicators, heated grips, got the pannier 'bars' that come off the...

So 6th May saw the beginning of the longest road trip for me so far. Myself and two mates, one on another Tracey and the other on his GS12000 Tractor. Absolutely amazing trip, bikes didn't skip a beat. Ferry to St Malo, across France and up and over the Vosges Mountains, breathtaking, not the...

So my beloved Tracer goes in for its second service yesterday, in readiness for the summer and a week touring in the Alps next month, I'm already excited! I decided to get the carbon effect LED indicators fitted while it was in for service as I though they looked great on another bike I saw...

So I've gone and done it and popped the question to my long suffering, CB1000R riding, love of my life. So begins the planning for the big day, that being the Tour de Stag de France in May!!! Or as one of my 2 companions have called it the 2016 TTT (Two Tracers and a Tractor (that being his...

Just come back from my first trip away, huge smile on my face, properly fell in love with the machine, does all I could ask of it, comfortably. Played it cheap and got the soft bag stays with a pair of Givi soft panniers I already had. Worked a treat but used my old magnetic map bag for the...

Made my purchase for my first mod to my 2 week old Tracer of some short levers from Avdb-Moto. They are well made and looked good, but they're obviously made for the standard 09. The brake levers fine, but the clutch lever hits the front of the (larger than standard 09) switch box, before it...

So getting the brand spanking new Tracer tomorrow; heated grips and a tail tidy are probably gonna be my first additions. I'm getting mixed messages about the heated grips. I've read that there are Yamaha heated grips which are integrated to the display, which lets you know when they're on and...

After 30 years riding bikes I still feel like an excited sixteen year old knowing I'm collecting a new bike next week!! My middle history is a mix of Hondas and Suzukis, but having had an RD50 (when I was sixteen!) I've always had trouble leaving Yamaha alone. The last 10 years has happily...
