Yamaha Tracer 9 GT

Spy shots from the next generation Yamaha Tracer 9 GT was circulated online in July and showcased the sports tourer getting a major upgrade.

  • 2023 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT to feature radar-assisted cruise control.
  • Patents confirmed the radar unit to sit between the front headlight. 

Reports from reputable media at the time, including CycleWorld indicates that the Tracer 9 GT will feature radar sensor technology. 

However, latest development has confirmed that the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT is getting the  radar technology according to a new patent.

That said, this suggest that the Tracer would become the most affordable (or least expensive) motorcycle to feature the fancy radar-assisted adaptive cruise control and emergency braking systems.

More importantly, Yamaha did a great job to hide the ugly electronic unit as opposed to the Ducati’s Multistrada V4, KTM’s 1290 Super Adventure S and BMW’s R 1250 RT.

Based on the patent, the radar unit can be seen nestled between the Tracer 9 GT’s lower headlights.

Also, Yamaha fitted a thin cover in front of the hardware to ensure better protection from mud, gravel, water or insects from hitting the sensor directly.

In addition, if the thin cover is scratched or chipped, it can be cheaply replaced. 

Yamaha is likely to introduced the new technology to the 2023 Tracer 9 GT.  

Baru-baru ini, beberapa gambar ‘spy shot’ mendedahkan bahawa Yamaha Tracer 9 GT akan dinaik taraf dengan teknologi radar.

Kehadiran teknologi itu bermakna Tracer 9 GT baharu itu akan menawarkan fungsi ‘Adaptive Cruise Control’ sepertimana yang terdapat pada Ducati Multistrada V4, KTM 1290 Super Adventure dan BMW R 1250 RT.

Bagaimanapun, motosikal sport touring dari Yamaha itu dijangka hanya akan menggunakan teknologi radar depan sahaja berbanding Multistrada V4 dan 1290 Super Adventure yang mempunyai radar dibelakang bagi fungsi ‘Blind Spot Detection’.

Namun, ketiadaan teknologi radar di bahagian belakang juga mungkin antara aspek yang telah dipertimbang Yamaha dalam usaha memastikan Tracer 9 GT masih lagi dalam linkungan harga mampu milik berbanding jenama Eropah lain.

Namun, dalam perkembangan terbaru, Yamaha juga akan menaik taraf bahagian papan pemuka Tracer 9 GT.

Berdasarkan gambar ‘spy shot’ terbaru, jelas menampakkan sebuah paparan skrin TFT berwarna tunggal menggantikan skrin berkembar 3.5-inci yang terdapat pada model sebelumnya.

Skrin yang lebih besar itu juga memberi bayangan bahawa Yamaha akan menawarkan fungsi ‘smartphone connectivity’ bagi membolehkan penunggang menghubungkan telefon pintar kepada skrin untuk tujuan navigasi dan sebagainya.

Walaupun Yamaha masih belum mengumumkan sebarang tarikh pelancaran bagi generasi baharu Tracer 9 GT, melihat kepada rupa bentuknya yang serba lengka dan siap sepenuhnya, pastinya pengumuman itu akan dibuat tidak lama lagi.

Yamaha Motor Corporation USA issued a recall notice for some of the 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT.

The vehicle safety recall is due to a faulty throttle grip that could break if the grip is used to pull up the bike after lying on its side.

The breakage could lead to a restricted throttle movement, affecting the rider’s input and subsequently increasing the risk of a crash.

It is estimated that 453 bikes are affected by the recall produced between February 15, 2021, to July 8, 2021.

Meanwhile, a possible warning that the rider might notice is an unexpected resistance when applying throttle and a potential slow return to idle when the throttle is released.

Yamaha advises that affected owners should not ride the motorcycle until proper service is performed.

One month after unveiling the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT, Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM) has finally announced the official price for the sports-tourer motorcycle.

Like the new 2021 MT-09, these Tracer 9 GT feature a new engine, electronics, and exterior design. In other words, it’s a completely new sports-tourer.

Starting with the engine, the 2021 Tracer 9 GT come with the same 890cc CP3 inline-three engine that was introduced earlier for the new MT-09.

Compared to the previous Tracer 900, this new engine features a longer stroke by 3mm, which upgrades its power output from 114hp to 117hp.

This new engine, although bigger in capacity, is actually more compact and lighter than the previous model. Housed within a new CF die-cast aluminium Deltabox chassis, the new Tracer 9 GT is said to be lighter and more agile than its predecessor. It’s also further refined with a new slipper/assist clutch and longer swingarm.

Also similar to the new MT-09 is the addition of a six-axis IMU plus lean-sensitive rider aids developed from the brand’s top-of-the-range superbike, the R1M. We’re talking three-mode Traction Control System, Slide Control System, Front Wheel Lift, Brake Control, and more.

For the styling department, the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT is now more aerodynamic which offers one hell of a sexy look plus wind-cutting performance that allows for longer distance riding when paired with its 19-litre fuel tank. Fully fuelled, this baby can travel over 350km without having to stop to refuel.

As a sport-tourer, this bike is expected to be able to carry a lot of cargo. With that being said, it comes with a full three-bag luggage capability. Other features include all-LED lights, twin 3.5-inch TFT screens, lightweight SpinForged wheels, fully-adjustable 41mm USD forks, and an adjustable seat.

The 2021 Tracer 9 GT gets you a host of features which includes:

  • KYB semi-active suspension
  • Hard side cases
  • Up and down Quick Shift System
  • LED cornering lights
  • Dedicated colours and graphics
  • Grip heaters
