The Tracer 900 came fitted with Maxxis supermax or something similar, I would go and look but I don't care. The grip is pretty damn good at the moment and has been since I started riding the bike in April. HOWEVER - the bloody noise off them! If anyone has ever driven a car with winter tyres on in summer it sounds exactly the same and is as loud. I suspect i will replace with Metz Roadtec 01 or the Avon Sprint at some point, but I may keep the Maxxis as cheap winter tyres.

Me I like torque wrenches, not as much as bacon but nearly!

Yeah that kinda follows, I would not generally ask very model specific questions here, more does anyone know... TriumphRat is very manufacturer specific whereas NC700.co.uk was model specific but becomes more of a community forum as time goes on. I have also joined FJ09.org for Tracer specific questions, but I also expect some of the why would you do/think that type responses there. That said I have already asked on that site if anyone could point me at correct bolt sizes to replace ones fitted with the crash bars and I got punted off to the fiches which just have order codes. so we shall see!

Thought this looked like a reasonable forum as its for bikes not one make and it must be based in the UK or its pointless as the references get lost. I'm still on NC700 forum as I'm still suffering the pangs of loss of my NC750X by a dastardly SEAT. I'm also still on TRIUMPHRAT forum even though my Triumph is close to death on life support as we speak. Reason I'm here as I want to talk about all bikes and see either if people here know answers to queries I have or know where to find the info, which is just as useful. I currently ride an MT-09 Tracer 16 reg however I would have bought a Tiger Sport if one had been available at the time. I also looked at Crossrunners but I cannot get past "VTEC whats the point" & "how much for a 16K service!".
