    2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT

    Resurrecting an old thread, but wanted to see if anyone has actually seen a 2021 Tracer 9-GT yet? I got my ST back in July of 2011 (2012 model) and it is been flawless since new. Was getting a bit tired of the weight (with hard cases, crash bars and skid plates) so sold it last fall for a...

    I've never used the kill switch to shut off the bike

    I only use the KS first if its been a hot day and the rad fan is still running when I go to park. If I use the KS but key is on, the fan will keep running until the motor cools then I'll cut the key. Otherwise I only use the key.

    What do we now think of the bike

    For me, I have done a 600 mile day of mountain (PA Pocono Mts, not big Colorado Mts) twisty roads and still felt great at the end of the day. That was a lower speed day with a buddy trailing on a Harley Fat Boy. I normally do shorter 100 mile rides more local to me and am exhausted when I get...

    (2) NEW 2013 ST's for sale

    They are light on inventory on most everything except BMW is seems. They tried to get 6 of the 2013 Tenere's but Yamaha would only let them have 2, seems wacky to me, tough to sell bikes if you can't get them in the store to sell. According to the owner, apparently the manufacturer's give...

    2014 ST CRUISE CONTROL

    The 1 option I really wanted when I got my ST, is finally included. Has anyone looked into the possibility of a retro-fit of this ECC to a Non-ECC bike?

    Holan headlight guard for Super Tenere

    I 'just' got around to installing this a few weeks ago and had some issues. The posts were all about 1/4" too long (or the bolts were 1/4" too short). No matter how much leverage I put on the bolt I just could not get them to catch a thread and tighten - weird? So, I wound up grinding each of...

    Shoei Quest vs Arai RX q

    I tried them both and wound up with the RX-Q. It is a really nice Helmet, but the more I wear it the more I miss the convenience of my old modular Nolan N-102. The RX-Q is lighter, quieter (w/o plugs), and vents better but I think I am more a modular guy than a full-face. You really need to...

    Pinlock anti fog

    If you didn't find one already, try Revzilla.com They carry a pinlock shield for most brand Helmets, have good prices (and will price match) and shipping is crazy fast. I have a Pinlock shield on my Arai Rx-Q and, well, it kind of sucks. I still fogs somewhat and the clarity is horrible. I...

    Insurance rates

    I am also a USAA member, for the past 20+ years now. When I went shopping for motorcycle insurance 6+ years ago USAA sent me straight to Progressive. So I have been using Progressive now for 6+ years, just got my renewal . . . for just the Tenere and the 100k/300k/Medical/Roadside/$3k...

    Hey all - any riders in the Philly burbs/mainline area?

    Gundy, It looks like I am in the general area as you, I am up near East Norriton/Worcester area. I ride that loop out to Hawk Mt as well. 143 near Lenhartsville is a nice twisty road along the creek before you get to Hawk. I also ride the 82 loop and around French Creek area on occasion as...

    FS: Arai RX-Q

    Sorry for the inattention to this, in the middle of selling my house and moving and things have NOT been going as planned. The Helmet is a Large. num - Yes if you are still interested, but seems like a long haul (NY, NY?) for you?

    FS: Arai RX-Q

    I bought an Arai RX-Q a few months ago (from RevZilla) to replace my aging Nolan N-102. It is the solid Pearl Black and matches the Raven paint perfectly. Size Large Unfortunately, I have found I go back to the Nolan often, I just don't like the full-face style helmet as much as the Modular...

    Bad Dealership

    It is interesting that the cost doubled after they asked for what bike. Why would that have made a difference if you had brought just the wheels in, not like they had to remove them as well as fit the new tires. There often seems to be a big disconnect between Sales Departments and...
