Fixed.Agreed . Some people are never happy with a screen . Better to take it off completely!

Up and down the 'box in the usual way is fine, trying to use the 'Gen 3' bits i.e. down the box when on the throttle and up the box when off the throttle is horrible.
I do agree with you, I am old school and rarely us the Q/S and when I have, it’s only been for up shifts. When I took a test ride I tried the Q/S and my own mechanical sympathy said “No, please don’t do that”. I can only think the magazine testers don’t give a toss, but I have bought and paid for my very own bike and I will make sure it is treated properly.
Any updates about this issue?
I found that I couldn't authenticate motorize with the USB in for ages. Realised my USB cable was a charging one only and swapped for one that did data and it authenticated immediately. Garmin app was shit for the map downloads though.
I'm new to the Tracer club and really enjoying it so far. New topbox sorted and a seat riser mod on the way.
Have any of you swapped your clutch for an adjustable lever? I was looking at the Yamaha one but it's damn expensive when I can get 2 Evotech levers for the same price (when in stock). I'm finding the lever is almost fully out before it hits the biting point. I've tried adjusting with that silver disc thing next to the lever for free play but not really any better.
Can't quite get spotify to work on the TFT. Can listen to whatever is on my phone but it doesn't show up as an option when I'm trying to scroll through playlists etc. Must be some disconnect happening.

None, sorry . It’s not an issue for me as probably wouldn’t have used it anyway
I have the Yamaha adjustable levers, (they are made by Gilles), and I had them as part of Yamaha’s £1500 offer which finished back in December. To be honest, I wouldn’t have bought them with my own money even though they are lovely levers, I would have bought Evotech or similar for less money. So, to answer your question, I haven’t had any issues with the bite-point so whether that is do do with the Gilles levers or not, I can’t really say. The test bike I rode felt absolutely fine, or at least I didn’t experience anything untoward with the clutch on that bike with standard levers.
Anyone on here with a Tracer 9 GT+ who thinks the mirrors are not quite where you need them to be? I have to move my upper body to see anything and that could be quite costly for points and £££s!
I have some mirror extenders that I could try, (but haven’t just yet), but thought I would try asking the question on here first. Other than that, this bike makes me smile every time I ride it, probably the most entertaining bike since my Buell that I had 15 years ago, (and said that I would never sell!,,) !

They work well for me, I am not very big, so no big shoulders on me.
I’m 6’2” and a bit of a racing snake compared to some on this Forum, but I just can’t seem to get the mirrors in a place where I can just glance intuitively and see what’s behind me.
Fine for me . Not even thought about them
Hmmm…. I shall have to have a little play with position and angles….!
Set your custom setting to have what values you want, eg slide, traction and lift. It's all in the handbook.
Yes I know its in the Handbook, however it does not explain how to turn off the Lift Control just says between 1 and 3 on custom settings
Read it again....5-26.
Just have
So the only way to turn off the lift control is to turn off SC mode which will turn off TCS SCS and LIF together.
I was just wanting to turn off the Lift control on its own ? leaving the TCS SCS active ?
I think you are out of luck. I don't how high level 1 lift will allow.
Just a little update on my GT+, I bought the seat flattening kit from JK3D (https://jk3d.us/product/yamaha-tracer9-mt09-seat-slope-mod/) about 5 months ago. I finally got around to fitting it last week. Initial impression after fitting the kit, for me, was raising the front caused the side edges of the seat to dig in a little. Now I am 6’2” with 33” inside leg and I have the seat on the high setting. However, I thought that given a few rides, it should be OK and this was true, after just a couple of short rides, 50 miles or so, it was fine and I didn’t notice any pressure points from the edges of the seat.
Prior to fitting the kit, I spent 3 days riding around North Wales and Anglesey and only started to feel a little uncomfortable on one day after a few hours in the saddle, but it never got worse. However, today, after just about 90 minutes, with the JK3D 8mm riser kit fitted and the seat on high, I was seriously uncomfortable to the point of having to stop and take a walk around, I thought my “sitting bones” were burning their way through my ass!
Now this is no reflection on the JK3D kit, which is a really nicely thought out piece of equipment, rather, I guess it means my ass just hates the new riding position, so, sadly, it looks like I will be taking it back off. I may give it another try, but the future doesn’t look too bright for it.
However, there is some good news too! Mrs. Longdog was away 2 weeks ago so with the help of a bottle of red wine, I thought the opportunity to sneak in some farkles was too good to miss, so, although I found the stock GT+ screen just fine, I liked the look of the MRA Touring screen with a light grey tint and today was the first time I have ridden with it. Wow! What a revelation! The MRA is quiet, (I thought the stock was quiet) but this is another level, probably the best £125 that I have spent and, as a bonus, it looks better too! Result!
