In the US , 135 mph is fast enough … my opinion , I owned the big brother fjr 1300 , and it was stupid fast … I lived two years on that velvet brut…and a happy with this fj09 … it rips …all day long … and for the money aspect , fun , reliability , you can’t beat a Yamaha … I own two .. a 2009 raider amd fj09 ,

Review was fine but the heavy breathing in the mic is a massive negative.

Great videos and you have balls to keep going into a speed wobble 😂. Small fact, With a ecu flash this bike has one of the largest top speed gains but will never getbto see them because of the S.Woddle. you still running this bike?

I've been watching a lot of reviews on the tracer as I'm getting one soon, this has to be one of the best vids I've seen sofar. Top job. 😊

How much

Anyone tried raising the forks a few mm through top yoke?

What year is it mate? It's the first thing we want you to say!

On my little 150 i practiced this, i dont know how else to steer myself now aside from really slow speed then its kinda like a bmx used to handle.. My buddy thought i was completely mental, he would lean, he would also go wide, crushed his foot even. But it clicked in his mind while racing another buddy and all of a sudden hes cornering gracefully, well controlled. Im still on my 150, its become more of a toy at this stage, 2 yrs, my first 2 wheeler i figured a 150 will do. Im quite confident in my controlls, also how to function with the traffic around me. Was enough time to get a couple of good jackets, decent helmet, solid boots, comfortable riding in the rain, So its time. Going up a notch, 40kph up a steep hill is kinda bleak.im a big guy, 6ft5, after scratching for a year the kawasaki vulcan 650 looks like a fair option, or even the kawasaki z650rs something like that. But we shall see after riding em. Im sure a 650 can haul me around at a reasonable speed.

When I was learning to ride a bike I was scared as shit to try counter steering 😂 People do it but I'm gonna end up in a ditch I thought. It worked like a charm.

Sabes si le podre quitar o remover el limitador no lo podia creer cuando limite

I love you😝😝😝

The way I see it, (depending on how fast you are going), is that it's not a counter "steer" but a counter tap or a counter nudge... then it pops you into the correct direction before you know it which is why people overlook it... It's a nudge pressure and... nudge more if you need more turn... Counter "steering" creates a bit of confusion for new riders, especially when the instructor doesn't explain that the bike will almost automatically go the opposite way if you do it right... Great video!

Great video mate , will doing a review on my mt09 on my channel so keep your eye out 👍czcams.com/channels/RAt-Q8Jq8nrxg_bdQzeUOg.html

Sonic, Great video! You have any issues with recalls or anything else on the bike? Do you recommend it or recommend the tracer 900 gt or the new tracer 9 gt? I'd say if this bike had cruise control & heated grips it would be really good stock.

Wtf is this garbage

Those twisty things are for your screen and not the headlights

Did you also testride the Honda 800x cross runner? And if you did. Why have you chosen this one and not the cross runner. Nice video!

change up man, that poor bike, there is more gears than 3 you know

Last video 5years ago what happened him

Your explanation could have been great but you missed on the direction at 5:25. It does not tilt to the "opposite" direction. Gyroscopic precession occurs towards a "vertical" direction. At 6:27 you said the gyroscope "wants to get back" into its most comfortable position. This one is a complete blunder and it blows up the validity of the entire explanation. The front wheel gyroscope does not "get back" to any original position, it changes the lean angle(in a vertical fashion). Gyroscopic precession is not about returning, it is about changing the position in odd way. Gyroscopic effect does help leaning but it is not the single most important principle of countersteer. Countersteer works in extremely slow speed too, and also when the gyroscopic effect has been deliberately canceled by adding an opposite-turning wheel.

Just came qcross this vlog! Great review! Are u still a fan 6 years later? Looking for trade up to 900 Tracer this spring.

Excellent in-depth review. Thank you!

It works every time I mean every time,if you consciously counter steer you will become a better safer rider. Why would you try not to counter steer ?

you need good brake pads, calipers are from R6 , no need to change .

great video man urs was the best! what can be done about the breaks thinking about buying one

You are riding it like a sport bike, but when you're riding along, you need to be in 4th and 5th to stop the high rev of the engine. You are still a sportbike rider, and someday you will probably understand why you have it in a higher gear, or maybe you won't.

Bro rather stop vlogging all together,you talk more than you show....if you want to talk leave your bike and gopro,and go to places...you will get someone that just wants to talk...thats how i feel watching 90% of you so called youtube vloggers...you have no entertainment in your life so you decide lets make a vlog about something...but instead of making a vlog,you make an entire video just talking ...bunch of fuckboi's really

Stupid gloves to wear to ride a m/bike !

No curves? That sucks.

A bike turns when it has a lean angle. That is the only reason. The actual turning of the front wheel is not something that the rider really controls. The inclination of the front forks and the stability of the bike, takes care of that. That is why you can ride a bike with your arms tied on your back, no matter how fast you go. There are two ways to lean a bike. - Actual leaning - Counter steering Actual leaning works fine. It can make up for any daily drive use, and as long as you take it easy, it will work fine. Counter steering, is using the gyroscopic effect of the front wheel, to translate a force applied to the handbars, into a tilt, ie. the bike leaning. Remember, this has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the actual physical position of the handlebars, as explained above. As the bike leans to ex. the right, the handlebars will also turn slightly to the right, EVEN if you are pushing the handlebars to the left. However, counter steering can be applied much much faster and more accurate than leaning, so any experienced rider will prefer this.

Gyroscope wants to get back into its "most comfortable position"? Really? People tend to believe, that an object under influence of gyroscopic effect cant be moved, because after all that effect is used in gyroscopes. But that is not the case. A gyroscope in a plane only works as long as absolutely no force is applied to it. It that case, it will maintain its position, and can thus be used as reference. Not so with the front wheel of a bike. If you apply a force to the front wheel, by pushing the handle bars, the gyroscope will respond with tilting. It basically translates the applied force 90 degrees. So at this point, the gyroscope is "happy". It is not trying to go anywhere. In order to raise the bike quickly again, you apply an opposite force to the handlebars, and the gyroscope will translate it into an opposite tilt, and raise the bike.

Why would you cut the video when starting the engine. Wtf

I discovered on my 2019 Tracer that the weird tail light assembly is also a Drone. Flip the button underneath and the rotor blades pop out. But seriously you did a good review and thanks for NO MUSIC.

Anything over 100 mph on any bike, you might have deal with the end over end dog wobble.

Great review. My question is the seat. Do you feel like you keep sliding down the seat towards the tank ?

I just bought the 2019 Tracer900 GT pick it up in two weeks can’t wait hope its as good as my old TDM 900 . By the way nice review

U don't respond to idiots, do you class someone who disagrees with you an idiot? I don't agree with you therefore you are an idiot by your own definitiion.

Why did yo purchase this model of bike?

Did you experience any front wobble at higher speeds ?

Got you man! i really find it so helpful! So this is what i always missed. This really hit me hard!

nice job bud you did a great job explaining that thanks safe riding my friend.

If you’re near the end of the turn, what would you do to go back to an upright position?

The Rev limiter is 11,500 rpm. It drives me nuts too, that my fj09 or all fj09's don't show where the red line is. Nice review!

Is this Neil Peart? You sound a lot like him.

This is fucking boring,you fucking talk to much and you show almost nothing

WW1 biplanes with radial engines had the same issue. you may not be into physics, but you did one hell of a job explaining this phenomena.

Have you slammed on the breaks to test the abs? I’ve never owned a bike with abs. But it seems like a good feature

Great review. Best so far. Seems like a legit bike. What’s the top speed? Can you cruise at 90 without blowing it up? Lol. I’m 6’1 and want something comfortable to do long rides on. Yamaha reliability is a huge selling point.

Yo Cuz you said it best and put my mind to rest.."you don,t have to understand how it works it just works:I don't know shit on physics but I would beat myself up on how it works which would make me think am I doing this shit right even after riding 45 +years since a kid,well fuck I have been doing it great u just don,t have to think about the physics in doing it you do it..lol thx for sharing

To real for the turds 👌🏾👌🏾😂😂
