I had the GT 900 2019 model and the vibration through the handlebars and pegs was a lot more that the 2015 model, however, with touring pegs and after 6000 miles, it softened out a little. Overall a beautiful bike to ride, with so much torque that i didnt know what to do with it in the UK!
I have same but in different colour. I totally agree with your toughts and opinion about this bike. What I need to exchande is the tires . Dunlop sportmax is not very good. I'll change for Michelin pilot road 5 - much better tires. What kind of TPMS (tire presssure meter) did you installed and what is your opinion about it?
Check your shock isn’t too soft for your weight (mine was) and change tyres to mich 5. Way more feel, stock felt wooden and vague in corners in comparison. No wobbles from mine.
@@mattkemp1902 Interesting about the 7 ! You’ll get good mileage from the 5 as well, considering it’s grip. They look a bit of a compromise with its heavy tread cuts, but I’m the limiting factor going round corners.
Yamaha suggests using quickshifter over 4k rpm but that's on my 2020 anf it didnt even come with one in the states 😡I could see why it would be clunky around town but smooth out when your acceleration is harder/higher rpms🤷♂️
hey bro..i have the exact same bike and same tyre pressure monitoring system..just one question! ur tyres pressure way too low..22f 25r??? this is in psi or what>?>!
Hi! I have a Yamaha Tracer 900 2020 (great bike btw) and I installed a big Puig windscreen with adjustable spoiler and...I am not kind of happy with that. I feel a wind goes to the middle of my body. Maybe I want too much. And this is actually not a car:) But could you please give me a model of your windscreen? And could you also desribe you feelings about a wind flows?
This is the original touring windscreen by Yamaha. Just ask your Yamaha dealer. The Windprotection is almost perfect for me. Regarding this issue maybe Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE is better.
@@igorkuznetsov8295 Original touring is much better than any givi/puig windscreens. I'm using it on the tours . In the city and short trips I'm using standard windscreen (less than 5 mins of installation)
I'm have MRA vario screen which works well and it is a little quiter than stock, especially on the highway. I first tried the original touring screen from yamaha, but wasnt happy with it. When down it caused turbulent air, in the up position it was ok, but sometimes making annoying cracking sounds on the highway. I wanted better protection when touring in rain. But still have an option to get more air in hot summer. I will try to modify the touring screen in the future with drilling the holes and adding the vario spoiler from mra, to see if it will work and smooth the airflow. It will be expensive fail if it wont.
I agree the triple Yamaha’s power is so much easier to reach than on the Kawasaki’s . Those aren’t clouds bringing rain it’s Angela Merkel throwing Germans retirement money in the air. Yes feeling getting used to the throttle response, fuel mapping being ride by wire it’s a little Snatchy
Because of the side panniers and the topcase. This issue I have also experienced on the naked bike I must say, but at speeds beyond 210 kmh. I think it depends also on the amount of wind from the side. And I would not say that the steering trembles. You just feel that the bike does not go on a straight line and the front wheel looses a little bit grip. We must also consider the following fact: This bike is not constructed to go at these high speeds, it is not a sportsbike. And where on the world can you legally drive over 120-130 kmh except on german autobahn?
@Dallas Bros. I can answer you. It is not a bike for 2 persons. Especially if your total load reaches max limit of 179kg ( I am 95kg, 2nd is 65kg plus clothing and top case with luggage). Passenger feels comfortable, but for a rider it is a nightmare to drive the bike. And because of week rear spring even at maximum preload you get a very small ground clearance. I am thinking of installing a aftermarket suspension because of that. It starts from $700-800 for rear shock.
Seems like a great bike for highway commuting. Also prefer the looks of this model compared to the new 2021. Rock on & ride safe, good video!
Thanks.
Thank you! Please take us for a ride in the countryside. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the GT's handling, suspension and brakes.
I'll do it for sure. The riding season is starting in the next days.
Well done can tell your so proud off your bike , stunning
Thanks.

you can add a yamaha performance damper to stabilize your bike at high speed.
Thanks for the information. Worth considering in my case.
Maybe you can consider add a Yamaha Performance Damper, it should reduce the wobble at high speed.
Hi what kind of tpms sensors do you use and where did you get them?

TPMS: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07HJ4B4DV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one is fully functioning and not expensive.
@@DOCOMARCAL Thank you. I'll order :-)

i'll be upgrading the tires to exactly that when time comes. The 700 has better stock tires than the 900. Weird

Does this bike come in automaric or manual?

Love this bike so much . What was the brand of the windshield? I'm sick of the noise!
It is the original Yamaha Touring Windshield.
Go either really tall or really short. The Puig touring worked for me.
How tall are you. I have the same bike but i'm looking for a higher front screen
@@jorisgrossi1272 6 foot 2 inches, thanks
🔝🔝🔝🔥🔥🔥
hey bro..i have the exact same bike and same tyre pressure monitoring system..just one question! ur tyres pressure way too low..22f 25r??? this is in psi or what>?>!
Probably should be 28F & 32R (PSI)
This are 2.2 bar front and 2.5 bar rear tire pressure.

I found my Puig the only screen that worked after trying loads. Just shows were all different.
Do you like the windshield?
Yes
What screen is it, & how's the wind noise?

Great comment! Thank You!
I find b mode helps if you find it too snatchy.
Which windshield did you fit??
It is the original touring windshield by Yamaha.
Moin...was hast du für ein Windschild? Nicht original oder?
Ich glaub, dass das von Puig die Tourenscheibe ist. Ist ein Scheiß, hab ich wieder zurückgeschickt.
Das ist die originale Touring-Scheibe von Yamaha für die Tracer 900 GT.
why the bike's steering tremble's after 170? 180?
Because of the topcase
@@landriesgoeman141 any chance you can describe how is the ride with 2 persons and cases full each side and top case?

MT10 is a Hooligan compared to this.
Yes I can imagine. I have never been on a MT10. This one is almost perfect for my needs.
