Punts

I would check and get the suspension set up for your weight first. Raising the rear or lowering the front will sharpen up the steering and vice versa. If you are light and the rear suspension is too stiff, it will make the steering twitchy.

My Honda Blackbird front sprockets have free play, my ZZR1400 doesn't. The Blackbird sprocket is held on by a flanged bolt and the ZZR sprocket is held on by a nut and a locking tab washer which fits over the splines on the shaft. If you clean up the splines on the shaft and the old sprocket, you might find that there is a bit of free play. You should apply some Molygrease to the splines when you fit the new sprocket, this will stop "brinelling", the red dust you find when you take the sprocket off.

What year is the bike? Maybe add something in the photo for a reference as to the size.

You can download one from here. YAMAHA TRACER 9 GT 2022 OWNER'S MANUAL Pdf Download | ManualsLib

If you disconnect the regulator/rectifier and it stops blowing fuses, it could be the alternator/stator

The wiring diagram is in the last pages of the operators manual. Here's a link to download the manual. What they call the "choke" is the Kill Switch. There's a Tiger Euro 3 listed in the Archives bit. Manuals - Zontes Motorcycles

The 30A fuse feeds the regulator/rectifier with the r/w wire. Also the ignition switch and fuse box with the red wire. Unplug each one to see when it stops blowing the fuse, ( you can use smaller fuses to test as long as you don't turn the ignition on).

Its reported this morning that the government are not considering graduated driving licences, for cars, as they have in Canada and Australia, as it would be unfair to younger people. We have had a graduated system for motorcycles for years, why not cars?

Fit half an earplug under the nut, you cant get a full one in. This holds the nut up, so you can get the screw started and dosn't damage the threads if they stick through the bottom of the nut.

I use Pinlocks now, but in the passed I have used dry soap, rubbed on the inside of the visor then polished off. Then I upgraded to some pink stuff I bought at a motorcycle show, I'm sure it was paraffin based, a wax stick. Same as the soap, rub on and buff off, both worked fine but needed to be re-applied through-out the day.

Signed. Tired of watching police programs on the TV where you see the scrotts commit the crime on film, and at the end some voice-over comes on " the case didn't continue for lack of evidence". I saw it, it was on the fkn film!!!!

Just put up with the alarm noise and change the battery, 2 to 3 minutes at most.

Oil and filter change on the ZZR1400, took the silencers off for a good clean and makes in easier to remove the swing-arm, rear shock and linkage. Will give them a clean and grease all the bushes and bearings. Four years old and not been done, they get done every two years from now on.

Work at other depots was really slow, I was usually really busy. One of my bosses decided it would be a good idea to start flexi-time. If the depot was quiet you would get told you had half or a full day off, midweek,( not your choice), but you may have to work a Saturday at straight time to make up the 40 hours before you went on to time and a half. When I was told, I said great, I'm really busy, on a good week I can have 40 chargeable hours in by Wednesday night, I can take the rest of the week off!!! Flexi-time was never mentioned again.

If it's possible, leave the light off till you get to the test station. There's an chance the heat from the bulb will distort/shrink the tape. A permanent fix would be to make up a new deflector with the bias the other way.
