ENGINE

889 cc CP3 engine    
Developing immense levels of linear torque at lower rpm, the large-capacity 889 cc CP3 engine produces remarkable acceleration and thrilling corner exit speeds. Optimized gear ratios and assist & slipper clutch deliver super-smooth performance, with the glorious growl from the twin-tail exhaust and intake system amplifying the thrill of every ride.

CHASSIS

Lightweight CF aluminum die-cast frame    
The next-generation Tracer 9 GT is equipped CF die-cast aluminum Deltabox frame providing high levels of rigidity for sport bike agility and sure-footed stability. 
    
KYB semi-active suspension    
Fully adjustable electronic suspension front and rear is governed by the 6-axis IMU and ECU which activate a Hydraulic Unit (HU) and Suspension Control Unit (SCU). Damping settings are instantaneously adjusted via a solenoid in order to achieve a smooth and secure ride—regardless of the load or riding conditions. Mode is set through the TFT interface.

Lightweight SpinForged wheels     
The lightest design ever fitted to a production Yamaha –  the SpinForged wheels on the Tracer 9 GT reduce unsprung weight for superior suspension feel and performance. These ultra-light wheels also contribute towards the Tracer 9 GT’s exceptional fuel efficiency.

Adjustable ergonomics
The Tracer 9 GT’s ergonomics can be easily adjusted to suit different physiques and riding styles. Changes to the ergonomics can be made by adjusting the footrests by 15 mm up or down, and the handlebar position can also be moved forwards by 9 mm and upwards by 4 mm by reversing the direction of the handlebar clamps, giving a total of eight different riding positions.

2-position adjustable seat    
The Tracer 9 GT’s handlebar/footrest/seat layout has been carefully developed to give a sporty yet comfortable riding position that gives you controllability with comfort. A two-position seat enables tool-free height adjustment, enabling you to customize the ergonomics to match your riding style and physique.

DETAILS

6-Axis IMU plus lean-sensitive rider aids    
The Tracer 9 GT is equipped with some of the most advanced electronic rider aids in the class, giving you added confidence and precise controllability in different weather and road surface conditions. Developed from the R1M, the compact 6-axis IMU governs a lean-sensitive, three-mode Traction Control System (TCS), as well as a Slide Control System (SCS), front wheel LIFt Control System (LIF) and Brake Control system (BC). 

Hard side cases    
hard side cases with matching colour panels are fitted as standard equipment (each case can accommodate a full-face helmet). For a natural riding feeling, the cases are mounted to a fully floating carrier system. An optional top case can also be fitted.

LED cornering lights    
Next-generation LED cornering lights highlight the apex of every bend to help guide you in the darkest nights. Brightness is automatically increased as the banking angle gets steeper, giving a clear field of vision that allows for sporty riding long into the night. The system operates when the bike is leaned at more than 7 degrees at 5 km/h and above.

Full LED lighting    
Compact LED lighting is featured throughout the Tracer 9 GT. Separate high/low mono-focus headlights give the bike a dynamic new look and provide superior illumination in any situation. LED flashers reinforce the bike’s premium status, and a signature taillight enhances the bike’s agile looks and sporty feel.

Bidirectional Quick Shift System (QSS)    
The Tracer 9 GT comes equipped with an up-and-down Quick Shift System (QSS) for faster, smooth, clutchless gear shifting. A sensor on the shift rod detects movement, and the ECU momentarily cuts drive torque to the engine to give seamless mid-corner gear shifting that maintains chassis balance and stability with more relaxed cruising.

Heated grips    
Fully integrated 10-level heated grips are fully controllable by the handlebar scroll wheel and monitored by the TFT meter. Specially shaped grips feature thinner rubber that allows efficient transmission of the heat for all-weather riding comfort.

Twin 3.5-inch TFT meters    
Twin 3.5-inch TFT screens provide intuitive, easy-to-read data that enables you to focus on your riding while being kept fully informed. While the left screen displays key operational information such as speed, rpm, gear and rider aid mode, the right screen features non-critical data including odometer, temperature and tripmeters.
