Yamaha’s sporting heritage runs throughout TRACER 9, with the Deltabox frame and fully adjustable suspension combining to create a motorcycle without compromise when you want to push hard on your favourite road. With its integrated riding modes and six-axis IMU controlled lean-sensitive rider aids, the TRACER 9 brings new levels of sophistication to the middleweight sports touring category.
Features may include:
ENGINEThe Tracer 9 features the world-renowned crossplane crankshaft 890cc CP3 engine. With a bore × stroke of 78 mm × 62.1 mm and an 11.5:1 compression ratio, it provides the type of broad, linear torque and thrilling power delivery character that's perfect for Sport Touring
Superior quality lightweight forged pistons allow for smooth, high-revving power.
The CP3 engine mounts its three cylinder bores forward, towards the exhaust side. This offset reduces the piston to cylinder wall friction, creating more power and improved fuel economy while the direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores provide excellent heat dissipation and reduced friction.
CHASSIS / SUSPENSIONTo achieve both sporty performance and excellent riding comfort, the Tracer 9 GT+ adopts a lightweight aluminum frame with model-specific tuning. Using Yamaha's exclusive Controlled Filling (CF) aluminum die-casting technology, this frame features the thinnest sections ever on a Yamaha die-cast frame.
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.
The Tracer 9’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.
