    Blank key (YISS)

    Hi all, recently I lost a key and after many days of searching admitted defeat and ordered a replacement from my local dealer. Guess what? The lost key was found (like, two days after I re-ordered! Grrrr!)and my dealer declined to cancel the order as it was a "special" (Grrrr! again). So - I...

    Gel seat pad - recommendations

    Ok so after a couple of hefty trip on the Tracer I am giving serious consideration to getting a gel (or similar) seat pad. There are a couple of points on my anatomy that get really sore on a long ride and spreading my 13st around a bit more evenly might be a good idea... anyone tried anything...

    Yamaha Niken

    Bike magazine has just road tested the Niken, with a generally positive (if slightly bemused) take on the whole thing. As it's built around an MT09 powerplant I thought I'd ask here what anyone else thought of the concept. (my take being, I'm sure it's technically very clever but a) WTF? b) Why...

    Lowered seat option?

    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I'm not from round 'ere... Seven weeks in to ownership of my Tracer, it gets bucketloads of admiring glances & remarks, not least from an elderly biker mate (79 years old, and fast -and sharp - as feck). He is mad keen on getting one (and soon -...

    New Tracer owner in West Yorkshire

    Now then. Greetings from a grinning idiot here in the Broad Acres. I took delivery last Sunday of a '16 plate Tracer in Mistral grey, 750 on the clock. And absolutely lovin' it - after a further not quite 250 miles I am utterly besotted. So far no grumbles, a really sorted bike apart from the...
