I got a 2022 Tracer 9 GT earlier this year. I traded in my Tracer 900 GT for it.
Seat comfort is a little better, I think. You're sat more in the bike than previously. I found the Tracer 900 better than the original MT-09 Tracer seat, which I found awful.
Throttle is a little snatchy still...
You'll need new rails and fixings for later 900 GT model for the same panniers. I did look into this and it's a lot more complicated. In the end, I stuck with the Yamaha panniers as I was able to cope with the reduced load volume. It is a pain not being able to keep a full-face lid in the...
My 2016 MT-09 Tracer was stolen last year. I was considering fitting the panniers to the 2019 Tracer 900 GT I got to replace it, but have decided to stick with the smaller Yamaha boxes.
These are Givi V35 boxes with inner bags. The boxes are in good condition, though a little scuffed...
I really like the new model. I had upgraded the suspension on 2016 bike, but I'm surprised by the handling on the new one. The longer swing arm really seems to suit the way I ride. From the little I've played with it, I can imagine that cruise control will be useful if you end up doing a lot...
I've just bought a 2019 Tracer 900 GT after my 2016 MT-09 Tracer was stolen earlier this year. The GT has the Yamaha panniers. They fit quickly and easily, but they're a bit small. You can't get a full face helmet in one for starters.
I had Givi V35 panniers with the removable frame on my...
I upgraded my suspension with an Andreani fork kit and a Nitron rear shock with remote preload adjuster. I got it all fitted by FTR Suspension in Essex, who I would recommend. This page gives some details as to what they can do, though the prices are a little out of date.
I took the bike up...
I arranged to visit S-Tec just before Easter and get my ECU flashed by Simon. (Some problem with the forum's security has prevented me from posting this until now.)
It took him a couple of hours to do everything, including blanking off the lambda sensor and getting the ECU out to flash it. He...
Hi TT,
I'm thinking of getting the flash done my '16 MT-09 Tracer. I've had the occasional slightly scary moment when out for a blast in A mode. I'll brake coming into a corner and as I turn in and open the throttle, I get nothing and then something, which pushes the front wide. Not ideal...
