Hey TheBo If you look at comments to my thread (especially from Triple Trouble regarding gears cut this way and an explanation from Misscrabsticks on technical section of this forum) you might find this useful. I have found that since having a new modified clutch cable fitted (original one...

Likewise, took the Dunlops off after 300 miles. They were terrible. I put on Michelin PR4's in August and have done 4500 miles on them and they are as good as new. Although I am not a crazy rider, got chicken strips of 1 inch or so, I ride 2 up on very bad roads here in Montenegro, lots of grit...

And a Merry Christmas to you from Montenegro and to all of you in this Forum. I wish you all a holiday season filled with great motorbike rides (weather here is great still !!!) and good health.

When I first saw this picture, I thought the headlight design looked like 'bumblebee' of Transformers film (image attached). Not my cup of tea personally, but I guess I am getting an old f**t now and sound more and more like my Father.

In an emergency stop situation, which I have a lot of here in Montenegro on mountain roads !!! This is when I first discovered this gear issue, and I have subsequently replicated this in safer environments !!!

Thanks for all your replies. I did try to find answers on this forum before I posted (clearly I was unsuccessful). This is a first for me, although I have never had to do so many 'emergency stops' as I do here, and this is the first 'non european' bike I have ever owned. I really appreciate your...

Thank you for your comments. I assume this is a feature of the gearbox therefore !!! Strange really. I would just like to say that I first realised this in an emergency braking situation (which I have many of here in Montenegro). I can turn a corner in the mountain and there are rocks on the...

The gear indicator is one issue, but the physical inability to change gear is another (unless I rev and engage motion). I have never had this before on any other bike. Could it be possible that under hard braking that the clutch or gear shift loses position ? Thank you all for your help so far...

Shift lever is free to move and not tight. Bike works perfectly with effortless gear changes apart from when I brake hard to a standstill with clutch engaged from gear 4 upwards. It is a very strange phenomenon to me. I can only imagine that there must be something that happens to the...

Can anybody help me to understand my strange Gear Changes !!! Cut a long story short. Whenever I am in 4,5 or 6th Gear, and I brake hard (not downshifting, just pull in clutch) and come to a quick standstill, I cannot see on my display what Gear I am in, goes blank, and I cannot downshift at...

Can anybody help me to understand my strange Gear Changes !!! Cut a long story short. Whenever I am in 4,5 or 6th Gear, and I brake hard (not downshifting, just pull in clutch) and come to a standstill, I cannot see on my display what Gear I am in, goes blank, and I cannot downshift at all. I...

I have averaged 4.6L / 100km and I ride with pillion on STD mode 90% of the time. I ride a lot up mountains and touring. I am by no means a hooligan rider, but we ride usually 50% minimum above the indicated speed limits. Some corners in the mountains are a 60kmh limit, we will usually be going...

Apart from my Clutch cable breaking (it was replaced under warranty) I have nothing negative to say about the Tracer. It is a wonderfully balanced bike that rides confidently both very fast and slow speeds. I did change the stock tyres (I did not like them at all, hard, moderate grip and forever...

Welcome to the Forum !!! If you are in Montenegro and see a Grey Tracer with a rider grinning like a Cheshire cat, that'll be me !!! :)

How refreshing to hear that, me too !!!. Lets drink to old fashioned proven methods :) Photo just to prove my point !!!

Just to let you know, that after my clutch cable snapped at only 2600 km from new, Yamaha fitted a new clutch cable, 3 cm longer than the original, and I must say clutch and gearbox working superbly. No judder and very smooth fast gear changes. Maybe also 1000km added since new cable helps,but I...

I also adjusted the stock suspension on mine. Took several adjustments and test rides. Works great now !!! From showroom, bike is a nightmare. Soft, bouncy and with loads of throttle slack. I watched videos on youtube from a member on this forum " Mr B and Mrs B Brain dump" and followed his...

That is a very fine idea actually. Had not thought of that. Thank you

Just to update you all. Technician replaced clutch cable from another bike. This clutch cable is 3 cm longer than the Tracer but works perfectly and fits with no aggressive U bends. Unfortunately, Yamaha told me that in 10 days, i have to take my bike back to have an original MT09 Tracer clutch...

I have just spoken to the Yamaha Technician, who surprise surprise, said that Yamaha Croatia and Serbia have no known problems recorded of such clutch failure on their systems. As soon as I told him of this Forum, and all of your feedback, he immediately went from being defensive to saying "...
