Tracer 9 GT Plus

[CPJS]

After making a mess of my left shoulder a year ago, my GS was just too heavy to push around, it had to go.
I now have a shiney ex-demo T9+ in Icon Blue. I waited till the end of the season to get a good deal (£12,600)
Apart from some 'keep the crap off' bits I am going to paint the exhaust black. I was thinking of trying some of this paint,

Just use Wurth Hi Temp satin black exhaust paint
It’s the best there is, from a can and gives a lovely durable finish along the same as RD350LC exhaust came from the factory with in 1981
Best exhaust paint I have ever used and still looks the same after 5 years of usage
Get it from Yambits in Yorkshire

 

[CPJS]

Thanks, I will look that up.

This is it
Best there is for exhausts

Yambits : for Yamaha bikes

This aerosol contains 400ML of black heat resistant paint. We have tested numerous paints and have found this one has the closest slightly satin sheen finish that factory painted exhausts had. Most other paints we trialled were too matt. The paint should be applied direct to bare metal and...

Have you thought about Cerakote? I am picking my Tracer 9 GT+ next week and I am thinking about using this, not sure if they have a spray on or if you have to send the exhaust to them.

 

[CPJS]

Cerakote is a specalist treatment, you have to send the exhaust to a registered company. I contacted them, the cost is £180.00 + VAT.
Certainly worth considering.

Well, I’m picking up my new GT+ today and there is a yellow weather warning, gales and heavy rain, perfect!

Apart from my 1hr demo ride and a 20min ride home my T9+ has languished in the garage instead of gathering salt.
I am now busy bolting on stuff to protect the bike.

Well I had to get it wet at some time and with all the rain we are having, I hope it’s washed any salt off the roads! One thing that impressed me on my ride home was how planted it felt in really bad conditions, I thought as it was smaller and lighter than my S10, it would have felt a bit flighty especially as it is so responsive, but it was like a rock on the roads. By the way, one of the freebies from Yamaha was a heated Comfort seat, I have never tried a heated seat before but it was lovely! Looking forward to getting some miles under its tyres now!

Save yourself a few pounds, I got one, it is perfect.

Ta. How do they attach ?

Ta. How do they attach ?

They stick on with double sided pads. It's like everything else, preperation. Follow the instructions and they stick like the proverbial. I ran a bead of silicone along the join on the dirty side to prevent muck getting in there.
I did the same on the rear as well, I took them both off to do it properly.
There are some plastic rivet thingys as an alternative, I much prefere the sticky pads.

Just bought the front and rear fender extender, thanks for the heads-up CPJS

You have to be careful, not all silicones are the same, most don't stick to plastics. If it was that easy Pyramid would enclose a tube of silicone. They know what sticks the plastic they use.
