Things that no one tells you about the Tracer 9: an owner insight after 2 years

[@tugadashcamsuk5946]

Hello 🙋 Gregor. It was a good lesson! Your videos. They are always very useful and interesting to watch. We are always learning from you! I wish you much success. keep it up 🤝 Cheers bro 🍻

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Oh, very nice to read that. My pleasure. Appreciate it. Have a nice week my friend. I will prepare some more similar stuff soon. :)

[@lestersmyth692]

Good morning thanks for a very informative video, great to see real life feedback from an owner rather than a blogger who has a quick test ride. I ran a Tracer for around two years also, it’s a great all round bike. I did extend the hugger and front mudguard as the standard fit are pitiful. I also lowered the front by 10mm which made it much more planted IMHO. Overall it’s a great machine with one of the best engines on the market 👍

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I see. Thanks for tuning in bro. Appreciate t. You can sub for support too, if you havent already. 😃 How many miles/km did you cover till now? Any TPS sensor problems?

[@larrywade9041]

Hi (GREGOR), That was very well done. It's hard to go wrong with a Yamaha. I could definitely see you on a BMW1200 with that horizontally opposed engine. I went for a Yamaha Vino ride today. I rode about 15 miles. It was approx. 46 degrees f . Have a Happy Holiday my friend. I sent off for my passport. Cheers!!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Aha, I like BMWs in general. :) It is very nice to read that you rode a bit. Here it is almost impossible. It is very wet and cold. You know... that feeling when you say, it is better to wait for tomorrow. :) Anyways... this is how it is in December, but soon the weather will change for better in my opinion. Have a nice holiday you too. Say Hi to Trish in my name. Cheers. Take care, both of you.

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

This is definitely one great and exciting bike my friend 👍

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I am always happy when I sit on. :) You are completely right bro. Have a nice week and take care. Cheers.

[@alinwithther6]

Nice one Gregor 👍 You are a very happy owner ✅ I personally love the bike too but the only 2 things that makes me change the bike are: 1- I hate the buffeting gives me headaches even after changing the screen so many times and I have the SCHUBERTH C5 helmet the quietest helmet on the market currently. 2- I find the bike to low with 2up and not enough ground clearance. However, I still love the ride and enjoy it every time I go on it but next year will be time to change, what’s next… I have so much choice now in the same price range so will see

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I see your points Alin. I don't ride that much two up. You are probably just "in the middle of the wind" where it is buffeting a lot. I just don't feel it. At least with the HJC helmet that I have right now. Previously it was quite bad. Now it is OK. :) Will try also the Shubert one day when I will get older. :) Joke. Yeah, now you will have a variety of bikes coming out for the next season. Sure. I know that you will pick the right one. Thanks for tuning in bro. Appreciate it. Did you check my Christmas lights?

[@alinwithther6]

@ 🤣🤣 sure I did , I’m debating for next year between the new AT and NT from Honda, Multistrada V4S and the new Tracer as they say they put it through the wind tunnel and tested for buffeting 🫣 but will see. What will be your pick from this list ?

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@alinwithther6 I tried the Multi and the NT and the NT has a very very good wind protection. If this matters a lot to you... try it. It is a very comfortable bike. A lot better than the Tracer. We have to be honest. So, the NT, but I didn't ride the AT. :) Cannot say. Multi is somewhere in between. :)

[@alinwithther6]

@ I have ridden the NT and the AT but never the multistrada, The AT is a very tall bike and very uncomfortable 🤣 but I really enjoyed that engine and that’s what make me try the NT for better comfort and wind protection but don’t like the look 🤣🤣🤣 The new one has adjustable windscreen, electronic suspension and much more so will have to test properly and maybe take the wife on the back but I want to test the multistrada as well as it has 170 bhp 🫣 scary I know but is something that I want to try

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@alinwithther6 Yes. Do it. The 170 hp that Multi has are manageable, you will see. The bike is very very easy to ride and well made (frame, suspension, engine). One of my friends has one and he is very satisfied with it. He has now around 100.000 km on the dash. :) Just be aware that services are very costly. Just like BMWs I think. You should take your wife with you and then decide.

[@OneOldManRiding]

Still a beautiful bike. Glad you are enjoying it Gregor .I do wish they would release an inline four Tracer GT though. - Frank

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks Frank. One day may they release a new FJR too. At least I hope. :)

[@OneOldManRiding]

@@RRRRefuelRideRace I believe time has passed for the FJR1300 . It's an amazing sport AND touring bike, but I think the markets have split again, leaving the FJR and Concourse without a Market. The crazy Ninja touring bike still exists, but I doubt they sell any! - Frank

[@Thommy_1983]

Odličan motor, svaki ima neke nedostatke u konačnici je glavno da uživamo u vožnji i da se ne kvari. Želim ti još puno sigurnih kilometara na Traceru 👋

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Slazem se. Bitno je da dobro sluzi. Hvala drug. Nadam se da i ti jesi zadovoljan sa Kawom. Bice i video o tome, jeli?

[@Thommy_1983]

@@RRRRefuelRideRace Bude video čim ulovim vremena, jesam zadovoljan sam skroz samo čekam ljepše vrijeme da ga konačno počnem voziti 😅

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Super. Pogledam kad bude.

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

Definitely have a good bike there Gregor 👍🏍️😎

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Yes, I just do the regular maintenance, that is all. Will see what it is going to be next. The next service is at 30.000 km. I still have 7500 to cover. :)

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

@ your soon do that 7.5k miles Gregor. Best doing the basic maintenance it keeps the bike running smoothly 👍🏍️😎

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@SOLOMOTOUK It is around 4500 miles or 7500 km. I think that I was close with the conversion. :) In March we are already on the road here. :)

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

@@RRRRefuelRideRace yes March is the start of the biking season. I was going to sell the ninja but I will lose to much so I’ll be keeping it. I’ve bought a R&G downpipe grill for it also the scorpion Serket Parallel exhaust in black and carbon fibre. When the exhaust comes I’ll do a video of fitting it and the difference between the sounds 👍🏍️😎

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@SOLOMOTOUK Scorpion are nice exhausts. Are they produced in the UK? Will you gave to do the MOT again?

[@hezrimustapha6906]

1) any pronounced vibrations at the handlebar at 140 km/h 2) any noticeable engine heat at the knee?

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

1) No, after 160 km/h, a bit, but not annoying. 2. No, nothing. Thanks for tuning in bro. Appreciate it. Can check my Trip to Italy Series. Cheers. Ride safe.

[@marijabalazic6119]

Meni je vsec.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Se strinjam. S to serijo so naredili zelo privlačno obliko Tracerja. In jih zato tudi veliko prodali.

[@jozefbalazic9074]

Res dober motor.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Meni zelo dobro služi in verjamem, da še marsikomu. Hvala za ogled.

[@77fico]

Kar nekaj km si naredil. Boš dosegel stotico, al boš zamenjal za kakega GS

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Trenutno sem na 22.400 približno. Drugo leto bo še gotovo pri meni. :) Pravzaprav nimam nobenih konkretnih pripomb na motor. Edino veriga je malo glasna. :)
