The vibration on my bike is becoming a pain, it occurs only on the throttle side, every time I ride I get a numb thumb and two fingers nearest the thumb within 20 minutes, the clutch side is fine with no vibes at all so I think I can safely assume nothing is loose, I have checked the handguard...

I have got the same MRA screen and it is better than standard, it looks great but the wind does get noisy around the helmet, I will get a taller screen next year and use that for touring, the MRA one is ok for general use

I have had my tracer since april and covered 3000 miles now, the fuel average on the instruments constantly reads between 62 and 63 mpg, I have just returned from a touring holiday around wales and had three tankfuls at 67 mpg, I think this is amazing, I don't ride very hard and tend to short...

I have not had any reason to fault the throttle assist, works great for me in most situations.

I don't have any strange gearbox noises other than the loud clunk when going from neutral to first as on most bikes, I just find the gearchange notchy and not particularly smooth, my last two bikes were a Triumph Tiger sport which had a very smooth gearchange and a Suzuki Bandit 1250 which...

No problem, :)

Will all owners get the recall letter, I have to say that the gear-change on my Tracer is not that great at times !

My Tracer has a yellow dot on the CCT, now what is this about a recall for the gear shaft ?

I have just done a 700 mile tour of mid wales with one of those throttle assist devices and can report that theyr are brilliant, they reduce vibration by way of a lighter grip on the throttle and also prevent aching tired wrist muscles, I cannot recommend highly enough

Mine is identical !

I have just finished connecting up my Garmin Zumo, not a bad job, good write up Reeseyboy, I checked out the wires and the brown was the positive, I used mini female spades pushed onto the spare socket pins, how kind of Yamaha to provide this facility

Very helpful post, thank you

Many thanks for that :D

I had a look behind the screen and found two blanked off connectors next to the connector for the existing 12 volt socket, are these blanked off connectors for the additional 12 volt socket or accessories like sat nav ?

I want to wire my sat nav to the spare connector for the additional 12 volt accessories socket, I took the fairing parts off and found two blanked off connectors next to the existing 12 volt socket connection, is one of these blanked connectors meant for the additional 12 volt socket, thanks in...

Check that your chain is lubed, I did a tour of wales last year on a 1250 Bandit which is a very smooth bike but one day could not ride it for more than 20 minutes without severe vibes making fingers numb, looked at the chain and was dry after 350 of wet/dry weather riding, wiped it and lubed...

I was cleaning my new Tracer the other day and noticed that the rear brake hose is tight on the underside of the rear footrest hanger, there is a mark showing where the edge has worn a tiny groove into the rubber, I got an old handlebar grip and cut a small piece to wedge between the top of the...

I am 12 stone and have set my front and rear preload to 25mm and wound the rear screw out by half a turn, the rear adjuster is in position 2 from fully soft, I have found this to be a good improvement on the stock settings.

I got my Tracer last Wednesday and am loving it, I now have 250 miles on the clock, I had a Triumph Tiger Sport previously which I found too top heavy and a bit of a lump at low speed, I am 5`6" so struggled with it a bit, the Tracer is quite tall but manageable due to light weight, I have got...
