Yamaha Tracer 900 GT plus Review | Has it been Fixed?

Yamaha Tracer 900 has been around for some years now, with the same CP3 Engine the beating heart. But Yamaha Tracers over the years have had their problems, Uncomfortable seats, Soft suspension, Terrible split TFT screen and wind noise problems.... So has the Yamaha GT plus model fixed these problems? Is this now the perfect sports tourer or another could have been from Yamaha?

Great review, so the big question… would you trade your Africa Twin for the tracer GT plus?

It's a great video, but it's funny how people overlook the brilliance of the bike's features such as the engine, comfort, and steering, simply because of the dashboard. Let's be honest, the dashboard doesn't play a big role as most of the time we're focused on the road and enjoying the views.

rear schock is semi active just like front..preload is manual on both end. and please..change Title of video...this is not Yamaha Tracer 900 GT plus it is Yamaha Tracer 9 GT plus

yamaha have destroyed this bike (aesthetically) from the 2015/16 model.

I have the 9gt with the goofy screens. To be honest they don't bother me but what an amazing bike, me and the wife are out on it all the time. 2 up is a breeze with this bike and its so stable . I love it, but get the top box your pillion will be so comfy 👍👍👍

It’s a new engine 890 cc now ! and new frame from 21 onwards so much better than the old old model

I made the bad mistake of buying one, had it two weeks, hated the damn thing....sold it back to the shop.

I love the double dash on my tracer 9 red line what I like the most is the lower seat hight of 810mm, when will bike manufacturers realise we are not all 6'4".

Sat on one today in a showroom with my wife on the back to make sure she was happy. As she got off she fell and went flying I managed to grab her and cushion the fall and saved the bike ;-]

Sorry meant to say in last comment you definitely do not want to be using adaptive cruise control in icy or wet roads. Especially on a bike. its bad enough in a car or truck. Not trying to be negative. Just helping all stay safe on the roads.

The video title failed. It confuses the viewer as the test is for the gen 2 "Yamaha Tracer 900" and not for the Yamaha Tracer 9GT+

I bought this exact bike back in August, replacing a Kawasaki 900RS I’d owned for 5 years. I also own a BMW 1250RT but that is for two up touring. Prior to the RT I’d owned an FJR (4 in all) for years, so am well versed in Yamahas. I can endorse everything you say in the video. The handling is excellent, the engine is superb, and the comfort is great. It’s a bit less comfortable for pillions and, after the RT, the luggage is only okay, but more than adequate for one up touring. Yes, the adaptive cruise is great, the dashboard is excellent, but it could do with self cancelling indicators, and the switchgear is somewhat cluttered and can be fiddly. Not mentioned in the video (because you didn’t connect your phone) is the GPS via phone arrangement. It really is poor. The connection to the phone can be quite fiddly and the mapping is very basic, not even including a winding routes option. But, hey, just mount a Tomtom or Garmin and you’re sorted.

I will have to test one of these. Great video!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the twin screen if one knows what to look for and where.

Thanks, just subscribed to your KZbin channel, fantastic review & would love one of these 👍

[@jackruk]

[@andrewfiggins6847]

Good luck Shaun ignore the silly comments you won’t feel like doing much till you know what’s going on take care

[@richardgiles2484]

Looks really good. Funny thing is the old dash is one of the things that put me off a few years ago 😂

[@nikkij1618]

Another great video thank you😀 What town did you go to please? The coastal town with the little lighthouse. Looks a good one to add to my list to visit.
